'''Basic Trope:''' People of Jewish descent are motivated primarily by {{Greed}} and [[ItsAllAboutMe only care about themselves]].
* '''Straight''': Joe Jewenstein is a CorruptCorporateExecutive who charges high rates and rips off clients.
* '''Exaggerated:'''
** Joe will do anything for cold, hard cash, up to and including [[MoralEventHorizon murdering his own family]].
** Every single one of Joe's Jewish family members and friends is just as greedy as he is.
* '''Downplayed:''' Joe [[AllJewsAreCheapskates is a bit obsessive about his bottom line]], but is otherwise a decent businessman, and earns all his money honestly.
* '''Justified:'''
** Joe's family came from a background facing violent discrimination and poverty, so they came to America and instilled in him the importance of saving up as much money as possible so [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanDream he and his descendants will be better off]].
** The high rates Joe charges his clients are because his industry is high-risk or has a low margin of profit.
* '''Inverted''':
** Joe Jewenstein is a wealthy philanthropist renowned for his frequent donations to charity.
** Greg [[PunnyName Goyman]] is the honest and virtuous Joe's far greedier and more corrupt boss.
** Joe has a reputation as an HonestCorporateExecutive who's willing to take a minor loss if it helps a struggling client.
* '''Subverted:'''
** While Joe enjoys making money, he also enjoys giving it to worthy causes and otherwise using his wealth to help people.
** A client working with Joe's company expects for him to rip them off, but finds him pleasant to work with.
** Joe's not actually Jewish. Either he pretends to be Jewish or people just assume he is.
* '''Double Subverted:'''
** Joe seems charitable, but he just uses it for a massive tax writeoff.
** Then it turns out that Joe was just trying to butter the client up.
* '''Parodied:'''
** [[RefugeInAudacity The local synagogue is actually just a cover for a casino]].

* '''Averted''': Joe Jewenstein doesn't work in finance, and his income and spending habits are never discussed.
* '''Enforced''': Joe Jewenstein is the villain of the 1939 Nazi propaganda film ''The Average Wall Street Jew''.
* '''Lampshaded:''' "You're charging me ''that'' much, Joe? Are you trying to be a stereotype or what?"
* '''Invoked:''' Joe was hired by the company in the first place because they hoped he'd be a greedy Jew who'd improve their revenue.
* '''Defied:''' Joe is overly charitable because he doesn't want to seem like a stingy Jew.
* '''Discussed:''' "What a dumb stereotype. Yeah, I like money, but who doesn't?"
* '''Conversed:''' "Why does Joe play the 'money-grubbing Jew' stereotype so painfully straight? Did the screenwriter have something against the chosen people?"
* '''Deconstructed''': [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls The reason Joe is so preoccupied with money because he was homeless for much of his life and had to turn to crime to survive, and now he has to pay off a mortgage to have a chance of seeing his brother again.]]
* '''Played for Laughs:''' Joe’s stereotypical tendencies are just a facet of a work's offensive humor.
* '''Played for Drama:''' Racists uses Joe's behavior to justify their mistreatment of the Jewish community, despite that the fact that they were the ones Joe was extorting and swindling in the first place.
