You’d think people would have learned their lesson with that ubiqutous big-mouthed fish, but no, singing tsotchkes that serve no purpose other than to amuse someone once then annoy them forever continue to be produced:

Say “shalom” to Latke Larry, an admittedly cute little fellow who carries a frying pan and bleats out a homage to Chanukah’s favorite food.

Conceived as a fundraiser for Chabad charity Friendship Circle, the action figure is voiced by everyone’s favorite cranky Jewish icon, Jerry Stiller. According to Larry’s Web site, Stiller volunteered his services after his friend, actor Jon Voigt asked him to do it.

“Voigt, a longtime supporter of Chabad, had encountered Rabbi [Areyeh] Kaltmann at events over the years. Stiller said he was intrigued.”

Latke Larry retails for $17.95, plus shipping & handling, and all proceeds go to help children with special needs. The tzedakah aspect forgives the outright silliness of the song; as Stupid.com puts it: “To call this toy ridiculous would be an act of kindness.”

In any case, it’s not the worst Chanukah toy on the market.

(…Wait a minute…Jon Voight goes to Chabad???)

Chanukah’s comin’, and there ain’t time to be messin’ with no broke-ass boychicks, yo.

For those who want to feel extra Jewish while tap-tap-tapping away, here’s “The Chosen Keyboard,” a set of stickers to transform your input into something holy.

Oh, don’t plotz — no one’s asking you to actually brush up on your evreet skills: They’re English letters in a Hebrew-like font. ‘Cept the big bar at the bottom says “A Little Space Couldn’t Hurt” and the zero button on the number pad reads “bopkis.”

Makes a great, cheap gift for coworkers — I might just convert the whole office (heh heh, get it?)

From the random collection of weird stuff (including Cat Butt Magnets) at BlueQ. Props to the babes at BUST for the tip.

This isn’t only an apt description of my day, complete with its traffic jams, unexpectedly talkative shop clerks and inopportune diaper changes:

It also makes a fabulous gift.

Not that I need any reminders of how little time there is left in the day.

Thank Heavens Shabbat is just around the bend. Good Shabbos, all!

Obviously, the Coca-cola logo emblazoned in Hebrew is not a new thing. In fact, I recall thinking it was rather gauche when I saw it the first time on a kid in my bat mitzvah class. No, the weirdness is that it’s on sale at Urban Outfitters, which means it’s achieved some sort of retro chic status.

I guess I really have no idea what’s hip anymore.

It’s one thing to make a bra out of a yarmulkes, but yarmulkes out of bras? The Bramulke (it “gives a lift to any Jewish occasion”) ups the ante for cheeky holy wear.

You could have one heckuva laugh while everyone at your wedding wears your old B cups, which is just what the Bramulke’s creators did. Chutzpah at its finest, truly.

And here I thought ironic Jewish tees were on their way out…Congrats to JewTees.com for reviving the genre.

As the superfantastic shoe blogger The Manolo might say, Aaay! These cards are so much more Jewishly clever and less of the money than actual shoes.

Believe me, your mother would be delighted to get any kind of card from you at all. From ChosenCouture, dahlink.

The cheeky folks who brought you “Who’s Your Rabbi” have come up with a slogan for the Harley-Davidson heebs: Chosen One Choppers should go over well with the publicity-savvy King David Bikers, but don’t hold your muffler to see it featured on the Discovery Channel.

So sorry I didn’t post this a few weeks ago so those of you with hearing-ear and seeing-eye dogs could have dressed your companion appropriately for the High Holy Days.

Same for you sickos who like to dress your pets up for Halloween.
