So very wrong...but pretty funny. I doubt they'll get away with just saying it's a parody though. I'd actually like the shirt of Jigglypuff with the marker...

"Pikajew" is so offensive and yet so so funny.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for lame puns. |

They must have still been high when they wrote that. This is pretty repugnant stuff and they're going to lose big time. |

"Pikajew" would be funny if there's no money illustrations. Hopefully, they'll get kicked in the ass on court.

Yeah if it was just Pikachu dressed up that way, it seems in good fun, but throwing the money in there is what makes stereotypical and offense to some. It would be like taking a shirt with a black character and then throwing bananas in the background. I don't really see any social commentary there. |

Ehh, I don't find them that amusing personally. Not sure how good they work as social critique also...

I find it funny the two announced Jews in this thread so far (counting myself!) think PikaJew is funny and everyone else is offended xD I wouldn't want the shirt, but still think it's funny. |

Ruining the image of the classics in a humoristic way*

This is almost exactly the definition of parody, though... This is exactly the kind of thing I'd expect a modern Jewish comedian do. The Snorlax one seems to tame though. It's just Snorlax on a different background...not enough there. |

I totally agree with the parody aspect of the shirts, the tricky part however that I think Pokemon may have a chance at getting in court is whether or not this kind of parody "damages" the pokemon brand. But then again parody movies obviously profit off of references to other works, regardless of how the parody is portrayed and get off scot free, so idk. Maybe this will get thrown out of court. Also, pikajew is pretty [expletive] funny.

Okay I won't lie that I laughed. Many because there is YT that makes fun of the term who probably is a Jew. Who knows. This is one of those cases that you have to ask the question how far is too far as using legal properties to make money.

Err...yeah: Any company that would do TWO "puff" related shirts--IF ya know what I mean--would also find the Pikajew joke still funny and fresh, and not a bit trying too hard. Which also fits in with the observation that Pokemon jokes are at least ten years out of date, as most of their jokes are. They tend not to notice time passing.

Those are quite hilarious, although the Pokemon company has been on a suing spree lately with no respect for parodies, they may not like it
