2 Broke Girls (2011)

2 Broke Girls features openly bisexual and gay characters, most notably Oleg Golishevsky, whose identities are present but often used for comedic effect, sometimes relying on stereotypes. While not deeply affirming, the show integrates these characters without making their LGBTQ+ identity a source of villainy or tragedy, aligning with its overall broad, often stereotypical humor.

2 Broke Girls features Jery, a trans woman character whose identity is primarily used for comedic effect. The portrayal often relies on stereotypes and the shock value of her transition, leading to humor derived from her gender identity and other characters' discomfort. While she is eventually accepted, the narrative lacks depth or respectful affirmation, resulting in a net negative impact due to problematic comedic framing.

The show frequently uses Christianity and its adherents as targets for irreverent humor, often playing on stereotypes of hypocrisy, naivety, or outdated beliefs. There is no significant counterbalancing positive or nuanced portrayal, reinforcing negative comedic stereotypes.

Judaism is primarily depicted through character-driven jokes that often rely on cultural stereotypes, such as those related to Jewish mothers or professions. The narrative offers no positive or nuanced counter-portrayal, using these stereotypes for comedic effect.
