Funny bit from a Stella interview in the Onion A.V. CLub:

The Onion: Why do you think there are so many Jews in comedy?

Michael Ian Black: Because big noses are funny.

David Wain: Also, a lot of Jews have sort of thin, spindly fingers they use to take money out of cash registers. That's very funny.

Michael Showater: If you prick them, do they not bleed?

Michael Ian Black: The answer is no, they don't. They ooze. They ooze dirt.

Michael Ian Black is probably my favorite State member, but David Wain's comment about the spindly fingers cracks me up.

Also, Reno 911 on Comedy Central features a lot of former State members (Kerri Kenney's character is my favorite), and it's even funnier than watching COPS, which is quite the compliment.
