Life is tough for Geoffrey Giraffe Jr.
Barbie dumped him for G.I. Joe, his father disowned him, and he’s living in an abandoned toy warehouse. But, “When Hashem closes a door, he opens a window!” With the help of foul-mouthed co-host Mr. Potato Head, Geoffrey is determined to stay positive and produce a public-access TV show for Jewish boys.

Episode 1: Mr. P chronicles the Jewish American toy “cabal-lah” and Geoff receives some bad news.
Episode 2: Geoffrey shocks Superman by revealing the Man of Steel’s Jewish origins.
Episode 3: Geoffrey invites his ex-wife’s new fiancé, G.I. Joe, onto the show to discuss conflict resolution.
Episode 4: Geoffrey’s TV show, and all of his problems, come to an explosive climax featuring up-and-coming political candidate, He-Man.

“How Do You Jew?” weaves together historical research and character-driven dark comedy to grapple with big ideas like late stage capitalism, whiteness complicated by Jewishess, toxic masculinity, and the post-WW II plastic boom.
