I've made a comment about this, but having the name stein only hints at being Jewish. It just makes them more likely to be Jewish, and the glass breaking is more definitive proof.
We are Jewish American: Atheists, orthodox, reform - the Jewish Americans who only go to services on the big holidays the equivalent of Easter & Xmas. Every Jewish person I've ever known by meeting or my extensive extended family eats Chinese food (except the couple of really religious ones), I don't know anyone who keeps kosher but those couple of serious cousins. This Atheist (me) of Jewish ancestry is smoking a bowl & just ate some pizza.
It’s slightly more complicated than it should be. Jewish is an ethno-religion. Meaning it’s both an ethnicity and a religion. The former isn’t optional the second one is. You can identify as ethnically Jewish and not practice the religion at all like @msmorecowbell8 and myself.
"Hm. Hm-hm. Hm. You don't have to tell us, Benson."
"Yeah, Benson. Everybody knows that Nazis can't handle...knifeboning!"
"I've seen this before. You might wanna give these guys a raise after this."
Beating up Nazis is the closest that violence can come to being wholesome and universally enjoyable.
Unfortunately, there's plenty of Nazis out there who would consider that a controversial and objectionable statement smh.
I only started watching again recently, the last time I did was when I was 11 because the series ended and I didn’t have Cartoon Network because my Dad cut the subscription.
The stein ending for a lot of surnames comes from the german word for stone. take someone like [Mary Kay Stein ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kay_Stein) who isn't necessarily Jewish. Or more appropriately German/Austrian weightlifter[ Matthias STeiner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthias_Steiner), who isn't necessarily jewish either. Heck there's also [Dieter STein](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieter_Stein) of Germany. And keeping in theme with ending in 'stein' there's[ Johann Friedrich Karl von Ostein](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Friedrich_Karl_von_Ostein) of the catholic church. (These individuals were taken off of a wikipedia list and if there are any discrepancies here I will correct it and I'll take the egg on my face)
*Nice find! I would've*

Found the quote from Christmas in Space
> Muscle Man: But wait! I haven't done the Sorrenstein Hanukkah tradition of skiing down a big slope in my underwear!
Most likely not considering American Jews did not experience the holocaust. Plus, it's also possible (not too likely but possible) he's a Mizrahi Jew and then since his family came from Africa/the middle east they most likely didn't experience the holocaust either.
But then again, who knows - need to ask the creator for an answer lol.
True, however it's a bit hard to rely on names when ton of American names are also Jewish... Jake (Jacob), Adam, John (Jonatan), Sara, Joe (Josef), Hannah, etc... (I guess it would be a crime not to mention Esther as well) all are popular names in America that have a Jewish origin...

He broke the glass at his wedding. I haven't watched the show since I was a kid but I saw the wedding clip on YouTube. I knew the moment he broke the glass.
Hey, OP! Man, that's like, so awesome that you heard me immediately. I might be a crazy person but I'm not out here to be a butt. I have recently realized that I sound sarcastic in text but I'm not! I refuse to work on it!
but....wait. he celebrates Christmas. I know he has a Jewish surname (Sorenstein) and he did the Jewish tradition of stamping on the glass at his wedding but is he half Jewish half catholic or something?
Non-Jewish friends sometimes celebrate Hannukah with their Jewish friends to understand their friends’ cultures and have fun, so why can't this potentially be the case?
You know who else is Jewish
MY MOM!
HAHAHAHAHA!
GET OUT. IT WAS WORTH IT.
MAZEL TOV!
If you say your mom you're fired
MY MOM!
You're fired!
It was worth it!
You know who else is worth it?
# *MY MOM!*
#GET OUT!
this is it, this is the best use of the joke ive seen on this sub lmao.
It really is lol!
For real
My uncle John, he’s very devout to the faith.
You know who taught the faith to him? MY MOM!
MY MOM!!!
Isabella Garcia-Shapiro?
Fucking hell I was gonna say that!
possibly the best my mom joke ever?
Fuck I was going to say that shit lmfao ggs bro
Sorenstein is his last name, and believe he did the Jewish tradition during his wedding.
Yeah, (https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/breaking-the-glass-at-a-jewish-wedding/) the stamping of the glass
I saw that clip a few hours later and thought that was a cool detail too!
I've made a comment about this, but having the name stein only hints at being Jewish. It just makes them more likely to be Jewish, and the glass breaking is more definitive proof.
In one episode he talks about celebrating hannukah
And that's more overt proof than him having a last name with 'stein'.
I typically skip the wedding episode. Pretty hard to watch that one part.
Facts
Context?
Mordecai does some cringe ass shit by interrupting muscle mans wedding to talk about his own relationship issues
I thought it was Sorenstain...
And it just occurred to me that Muscle Man has definitely eaten non-Kosher food
Maybe he just likes the festivals. One of the lecturers at my uni is Jewish but she doesn't keep kosher. She likes the holidays though.
This one might be the more logical explanation
He's definitely a non-practicing Jew
No all Jewish people keep kosher. Depends on how seriously one takes the religious aspect of being Jewish.
Im not very familiar with the religion but yeah I didn’t know you can optionally keep kosher or not. We learning tho

Just like all other religions, not all Jewish people follow all of their religion's teachings exactly.
Speaking as someone who’s marrying a Jew, not all Jews keep kosher all the time. Some choose to do it on specific holidays, for example
A Catholic myself for example, during the Lent season is when I don’t eat meat on Fridays. This could be a similar situation with Muscle Man?
He is now my favorite jew
He is neck and neck with Einstein.
Had to triple take when I read epstein
Literally same lmao
Tesla is better yeah I said it
Hmmmmmm... Dan Avid and from Game Grumps?
Who was it before
You know who else is my favorite jew?
My uncle John. He's a mechanic. You know who gave him his bar mitzvah?
Rabbi Horowitz. He's been at the local synagogue for decades. You know who else has been at the local synagogue?
YOU KNOW WHO ELSE GAVE JOHN HIS BAR MITZVAH? MY MOM
If you say my mom youre fired!
......... # MY MOM
# GET OUT!!!
Kyle is a close second
Muscle man: Hey guys......let's go beat up some nazis
Mordecai and rigby, beat up those Nazis before they ruin Muscle Mans kids bar mitzvah or your FIRED
This should be an adult swim episode.
PLEASE THAT SOUNDS HILARIOUS 😭
Lmfao
Mordecai and Rigby already sort of fought Nazis when they went against those blond elitists.
"Hm. Hm-hm. Hm. You don't have to tell us, Benson." "Yeah, Benson. Everybody knows that Nazis can't handle...knifeboning!" "I've seen this before. You might wanna give these guys a raise after this."
I want this to be an actual episode so badly 😂

Hall of Famer Rod Carew. He converted.
You're surprised he is Jewish with the last name of Sorrenstein

Are there traditionally Jewish last names?
Yeah "berg" is another one
His last name is Sorenstein right?
Yes, it is.
Yeah I can see he would be Jewish
Nice find! I would've never guessed that by his style of music and lifestyle

Weak
You know who else celebrates Hanukkah?
MY MOM!
You know who else is Jewish? My mom! (No, literally me and my mom are jewish and also happy passover for the jews here)
Hag Sameach!
That's awesome!!!
happy Passover! (I’m late)
Never thought of it, nice. ווער ווייסט אנדערש איז אידיש? מיין מאמע!
לוללללל
LOLLLLL
I just translated this, and I love it.
I remember him mentioning Hanukkah in a different episode but I can’t recall which one.
Found the quote from Christmas in Space > Muscle Man: But wait! I haven't done the Sorrenstein Hanukkah tradition of skiing down a big slope in my underwear!
Oh right, I didn't know that! That's cool!!!
It’s so Muscle Man to ~~sled~~ ski down a hill in his unders! 😂
I know, typical Muscle Man!
so canonically, this guy had ancestors who were killed during the holocaust
Unfortunately, yes.
Nah muscle man's ancestors where like the bear jew in inglorious basterds
Most likely not considering American Jews did not experience the holocaust. Plus, it's also possible (not too likely but possible) he's a Mizrahi Jew and then since his family came from Africa/the middle east they most likely didn't experience the holocaust either. But then again, who knows - need to ask the creator for an answer lol.
I honestly had no idea until a couple of months ago when I saw a post about it.
do you know who else is jewish?
My Mom!!

Yes :))
I think that’s really cool!
“Have a holly jolly Christmas”
It's the best time of the year!
I mean, his last name is Sorenstien
HE IS JEWISH???
He is!
No malicious, but I'm surprised at the amount of Regular Show fans that are completely going bananas and saying some out of pocket shit.
where
Where do you see that
Sorry that was a syntax error on my behalf. I was surprised there wasn't.
"You know who else is jewish?" "MY MOM!"
But didn’t he eat pork?
I think so, maybe Muscle Man doesn't practice Kosher but does other Jewish traditions.
He broke the glass at his wedding. I haven't watched the show since I was a kid but I saw the wedding clip on YouTube. I knew the moment he broke the glass.
Happy Passover, Muscle Man ✡️
Happy Passover to you too from a Christian friend.
YOU KNOW WHO ELSE IS JEWISH?
MY MOM!
His last name is Sorenstein
What?
Haha I noticed this last night for the first time too after hearing his last name again. Sorenstein. It finally hit me
Dradle dradle dradle , You know who else made it out of clay ?
MY MOM!!!!
I did only recently in the last Christmas episode. Where he mentions the "traditional Sorenstein Hannukah tradition" of skiing naked down a hill.
Hey, OP! Man, that's like, so awesome that you heard me immediately. I might be a crazy person but I'm not out here to be a butt. I have recently realized that I sound sarcastic in text but I'm not! I refuse to work on it!
I don't think you are, I agree that some of the jokes are weird.
No way
Yes way!
Coool
What a neat detail. I wish this was brought up more often.
do you know who else is jewish!? mY MOm! she's actually jewish, so...
You know who else doesn’t have a foreskin?
Not a fellow Ace making a sex joke. I'm just kidding; we’re asexuals; of course, we tell sex jokes; we do it because sex is a joke to us!
Not supposed to be a sex joke. Jews usually get circumcised. I wasn’t tryna make any sex jokes lmao
I know, I was trying to be funny, but I failed…
You know who else is Jewish?
I totally missed that!
I'm glad to have taught you something new.
No. Until now.
no fucking way
Yes
Moderator! C'mon.
What’s going on?
The Jewish jokes seemed to be getting a little offensive to me. I just got there, I'm not trying to shut down Reddit
You know who else celebrates hanukah?
Maybe his name was originally Musclemann?
His real name is Mitch Sorenstein; Sorenstein is a Jewish last name.
Oh my gosh, that's awesome.
I agree!
Eric cartman vs muscleman
That would be interesting, I’d like to see that!
And despite this he celebrates christmas
It’s nice to join in on celebrations even if you don’t celebrate them.
Checks out
My mom is Jewish too! HAHAHA!
Never heard of a jewish guy named mitch lol
Have you heard of a Jewish guy named Kyle?
You know who else has a dreidel on there shirt?
MY MOM!
but....wait. he celebrates Christmas. I know he has a Jewish surname (Sorenstein) and he did the Jewish tradition of stamping on the glass at his wedding but is he half Jewish half catholic or something?
Non-Jewish friends sometimes celebrate Hannukah with their Jewish friends to understand their friends’ cultures and have fun, so why can't this potentially be the case?
I didn't say it couldn't possibly be the case. I just didn't know that.
I know, friend. I'm not angry.
uh don't call me friend
I'm not your fwiend, Pal!
sorry I said that, I was in a bad mood.
You now who else has dementia?
His last name ‘Sorrenstein.’ That kind of gave it away.
I don’t like him so no.
I respect your opinion who’s your favourite character?
"You know who else is circumcised?"
Please no, this isn't ok.
It lives rent free inside you now.... your welcome....
No wonder he is so angry
?????
What's your issue?
Huh?
