The Bensonhurst Spelling Bee

To help perpetuate Italian stereotypes further, Funny or Die brings us The Bensonhurst Spelling Bee. Starring Mr. and Mrs. Kelly Ripa, and moderated by none other than the typecasted Lorraine Bracco and Tony Sirico — Brooklyn youth are asked to spell various Italian foodstuffs, with embarrassing results.

And thank you Funny or Die for leaving New Jersey out of this. I think we’ve suffered enough.
