If you ever served a church in an area with Mennonite farm families, the Noah and Anita Dyck characters will never not be hilarious.

That one is my favourite episode!

I wonder what Mennonites think of it. In the Lindsay area I frequently had to stand up for the Mennonites, who were viewed with disdain by a lot of people.

I’m a slightly different kind of Mennonite, but I think they’re kinda funny. However, it’s not lost on me that conservative Mennonites are a “safe” minority group to mock, b/c they won’t defend themselves (both for religious peace reasons and ‘cause they won’t see it). It’s kinda punching down.

A friend of mine who is a Mennonite minister says that when he goes to meetings he is one of the only guys there who is not named Jacob, but that's the kind of humour Mennonites themselves may like.
