Jimmy Pop is the only original founding member of the Bloodhound Gang left in the group. Jimmy Pop's humor focuses heavily on sex and caters more to the younger "hip" generation. To this end, some describe his humor as homoerotic (including but not limited to sticking his finger up Spanky G's rectum and fellating a banana in the video for I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks). Jimmy Pop's style of humour also relies on a blend of shock value blended with pop culture references. His live humour represents this as well, including wearing a Backstreet Boys shirt onstage, raising a cymbal stand (with the cymbal still attached) above his head and dancing for Willie The New Guy (until the cymbal fell off, anyway), and putting out a cigarette on his tongue. He also has been known to tear off Evil Jared Hasselhoff's shirt at random intervals, and one time, during a live performance of I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks, actually attempted to bite off said shirt. I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks is the third single off The Bloodhound Gangs 1996 (re-released in 1998) album One Fierce Beer Coaster. ...

According to an article (http://www.newstimes180.com 2005-12-30) by David Friedman, Jimmy Pop is not Jewish. "I have the blood in me, but I'm not considered part of the tribe. When my family came over here, on my father's side they were all rabbis. They changed their name from Hershell to Hershey and one of their younger grandchildren or whatever became the Hershey Bar guy. I never got any money out of it... I have American Indian in me and lots of German, which works really well with the Jew. It's just a big mixed bag. Somewhere along the line, my parents were raised Lutheran and as soon as I didn't have to go anymore, I wasn't into it. So I wasn't raised Jewish, but being in the music business, of course, I have Jewish managers. So I'm always up for the holidays."
