![]() ![]() Ben and Eve encapsulating so many Twitter fights, right there! Episode 4 “I actually am Jewish,” his other classmate Eve says. It’s a good idea from the smartest person in the room, and you’re all hating on it ’cause you’re anti-Semitic,” Ben says. It’s an app that tells a stranger the exact location of a Jewish person.” Anyway, his schoolmate Eleanor makes an excellent point: There are definitely too many Nazis there. “A ride-sharing app to help the Jews escape the Nazis?” Please also note that Twitter is crossed off his brainstorming list. You guys are crazy,” he says to his unenthused group. (Is this what really happens in high school these days?) Ben Gross’ idea? Jewber. Shapiro assigns a group project to the class: Come up with an app that could have been useful during the Holocaust. Shapiro asks, “What if Anne Frank had an iPhone?” Oh, Mr. Episode 3Īs part of their history lesson, Mr. “You’re gross, Gross.” The pun we have all been waiting for, and one many Jewish kids named Gross have most likely been dealing with their whole lives. I don’t want Nazis to kill you.” Never has an apology for something so truly awful been so adorable. Luckily, Devi does realize the error of her ways, saying, “Ben, I’m really sorry. A wonderful nod to the fact that some people think just saying the word “Jew” can be offensive. ![]() “Especially ones who are…” Yes, Principal Grubbs? “What the hell, Devi? You can’t just go around wishing Nazis would kill classmates,” she says. So obviously after that comment, Devi gets sent to the principal’s office along with Ben. Oh, Devi, coming through with the self-destructive teen behavior. “I said I wished the Nazis would kill Ben,” she repeats. “Yeah, Devi, please share your mumble with the rest of the class,” Ben says, who is obviously not cool with this statement. Devi mumbles under her breath, “I wish the Nazis would kill you,” during a class about, you guess it, the Holocaust. Having had a truly awful day, the straw that breaks Devi’s back is a snarky interaction with Ben (he is her nemesis, after all). Okay so this is less of a Jewish joke and more of an unfortunately realistic Jewish reference. ![]() “You have the body of Priyanka Chopra with the incisive intellect of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.” Do we all wish our crushes told us we had the incisive intellect of notorious Jewish Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg? Yes, yes we do. “I mean look at you.” Paxton, Devi’s crush and the hottest boy in school, tells her in her fantasy. “He’s like 5″2.” Well, joke’s on you, Nalini! Short Jewish men are where it’s at! Episode 2 Ben Gross’ facial expression reacting to Mr. That feeling when your teacher mentions the Holocaust and then looks directly at you, the most prominent Jewish person in the class? Yeah. Shapiro looking at Jonah when he said the Holocaust. And oh, the caricature of Blake Griffin lifting Ben Gross up for a slam dunk is just too real. In our very first introduction to Ben Gross, we learn that his father is a top entertainment attorney in Beverly Hills, which means he had enough pull to get Blake Griffin to come to his son’s bar mitzvah. So, I decided to take you all on a wild ride through the many funny Jewish lines in Never Have I Ever. Join me, won’t you? Episode 1īen Gross’ bar mitzvah with Blake Griffin. ![]()
