In Popular Culture
In New York City, there is a sign on the Williamsburg Bridge that reads "Leaving Brooklyn: Oy vey!" because of the borough's large Jewish population.
Weird Al Yankovic's song "Pretty Fly for a Rabbi" on his album Running With Scissors frequently uses the phrase. There is a Jewish parody of James Bond who is called "Oy Oy Seven".
