Elsie Snuffin deploys this figurative brother as the punchline in her Inauguration Day joke to Will Bailey in the White House Mess. The setup features the first Jewish President's mother boasting amid the swearing-in: 'You see that guy with his right hand raised? His brother's a doctor.' The character captures maternal pride in professional success over political triumph, channeling a wry Jewish humor trope to counter Will's voter cynicism and steady his inherited role.
