I believe this post is the actual poster for that movie just with the merchant meme posted over the guys face. I remember the situation pretty well but I can't be sure if my memory fails but I think that the reason it played on comedy central so much was that it was actually a comedy central original movie. I'm not even certain it had a theatrical release. It wasn't good but... I do think I have to give credit where it's due... That movie was so full of self deprecating Jewish stereotypes that it actually is probably responsible for like 50% of my understanding of what Jewish culture is. I was only about 11 or 12 when it came out and I genuinely think it helped me understand who these people were and what they were like so I could identify them better as my life progressed. It was essentially a blaxploitation parody where the main character was a jew. Black Dynamite did the concept better but both are so racist I don't think I could consider either of them to be propaganda. Maybe in the sense of normalization. Like “haha, we think our culture is weird and funny too" but I don't think it was actually meant to make people think of jews in a more positive light. Andy Dick is Santa Claus and he's so skinny, effeminate and neurotic that I don't think anyone could take the idea seriously that he's supposed to actually represent a symbol of Christianity. I don't even know if he is but Dick's personality is super jew coded.
