Bob-Waksberg admits the show has inside jokes for Jewish viewers—but insists the emotional core is universal.
Raised by Boomer-hippie parents, siblings Avi, Shira, and Yoshi are chaotic, hilarious, and heartbreakingly real.
Episodes jump from Yoshi’s Bar Mitzvah to Shira asking her brother for sperm.
The absurd humor shines: Avi hunts wolves, Yoshi sells dangerous beds, and Shira has a knish meltdown
Themes of parenthood and legacy drive the show. Inspired by Bob-Waksberg becoming a dad himself
Lisa Hanawalt’s hand-drawn animation style brings raw, human emotion to every frame.
Naomi seems like your typical overbearing Jewish mother… but the show digs deeper to reveal her humanity
That’s right: Long Story Short got a second season before episode one aired. That’s how confident Netflix is in this show.
“We didn’t want one headline to upstage everything else,” Bob-Waksberg explains.
From kosher kitchens to Shabbat struggles, the show embraces real traditions.
“I got people to care about a talking horse,” Bob-Waksberg says. “I can get them to care about real people too.”
