From YKTTW Working Title: All Jews Are Cheapskates
Chad M: Removed:
- Peter: Alright, if you're really a jew, what's a tip on a $50 meal?Jesus: $17, which is fair.Peter: My God, he's right!
I don't know actual quote, but I have seen the episode and I know it didn't think that a 34% tip on a meal price you might realistically see at a good steakhouse is an example of cheapness...
CA Lieber: The page said George Costanza's religion is unknown. He's a thinly veiled Larry David, who's Jewish.

Weasleymum: Page lists Ross Geller of Friends. When is he ever shown to be a cheapskate? I remember one episode when Rachel's father takes them out to dinner and leaves a crappy tip, which horrifies Ross (who tries to leave more cash on the table, hilarity ensues, blah blah blah). And another, when Chandler and Joey buy last-minute Christmas gifts at a gas station; they got some 2-dollar gift for Ross, who had given them sweaters. Seriously, I can't think of any instance of cheapskatyness by Ross (or Monica, his sister and equally Jewish), and I think I've seen about every episode. Anyone want to remind me?
