SOUTH PARK JUNICHI
As you might imagine, I don't hear my name much on television.
But back in 2000, in the third season of South Park, Kyle recruits Kenny to become a "Jew Scout" and attend a scout camp called "Jewbilee." In one scene, the rabbi asks the new Jew Scouts to raise their hand and identify themselves. The camera flashes to an Asian kid with slanted eyes and buck teeth.
The character's name? Junichi. Or, Jew-nichi, I suppose.
I fell off my couch when I heard it. I thought I was hallucinating. Now that a clip is on YouTube, I can finally share with everybody.
Video below:
Unfortunately, the Junichi character never returned from collecting candles.
