The reason the show has a lot of uncensored heavy Jewish jokes is because the writers themselves are Jewish.

Saint Nicholas (Santa) lived in Turkey and was of Greek descent, it was before the Turks invaded Anatolia

[shockwave]

What's hilarious is that Family Guy has a lot of Jewish writers writing the Jew jokes.

2:41 to add context the blue god is 'lord shiva'- the mightest of the indian gods even I don't know much so rechearch on your own time

[sasquatchdonut]

Yes, st. Nicholas was from present day turkey

[ChristophersRants]

The show's writers are 95% Jewish.

[WeirdHeather]

This was really interesting. Great vid 😊

The current belief of Santa is a mix between a German and Swedish tradition

[TheNeonParadox]

Mr. Terry is walking proof that anything can be used as a teaching tool.

[SuperLb]

honestly mr terry is the definition of a lawful good character. He's wanting to share his knowledge of history with the world, he will go into iffy area's (e.g. family guy) if it means sharing more knowledge

The joke about living rather next to a terrorist than an atheist was actually said that way around 2002-2006

Joseph Smith also claimed to have encountered both God and Jesus, although he gave three different accounts of that story. Because apparently, meeting God or Jesus isn't that memorable.

"Everyone is anti-Semitic? This is awful!" That pretty much sums up 2022 celebrity news.

I'll never forget how my old history teacher began his class about Joseph Smith and Mormonism. He played that one South Park episode and left the room for 30 minutes.

Saint Nicholas, the inspiration for Santa Claus, lived in the city of Myra in modern day Turkey. He lived some time around 270 AD to 340 AD, when the Roman Empire was still around, and was of Greek descent. The Turkic migration into Anatolia started about 500 years later.

So while Santa technically lived in Turkey, he wasn't Turkish.

The snake bit is interesting because is based in a religious group that did though that faith alone will keep you safe from a snake and therefore used snakes in his religious practices.

[ToHoldNothing]

Senior citizen is almost an understatement, Noah was supposedly 500 years old when they built the ark

"I ate a tube of Crest for dinner!"

Well, at least we know her mouth is clean.

I think Useful Charts did a thing on Santa. He's basically a fusion of different folk beliefs.

Wish I had a teacher like you while I was in high school!
