Betty Boop's strict Jewish parents Mr. Boop and Mrs. Boop make only one official appearance in the 1932 animated cartoon Minnie the Moocher. They are Jewish-Polish immigrants that immigrated to New York City.

Betty's parents are all over her case, hassling her because she will not eat her sauerbaten, so Betty runs away from home with Bimbo to get away from her parents - only to return spooked by Minnie the Moocher. Betty's mother is referenced in Dizzy Red Riding Hood, and both parents are also referenced in Minding the Baby.

Betty Boop's mother and father are never seen together again after their on-screen appearance in Minnie the Moocher throughout the whole Betty Boop series to follow indicating that Betty Boop had left home.

Betty sings "They Always Pick On Me" which is a song about her parents being unkind and unfair to her, it is indicated that she is criticized a lot by her parents, particularly her strict Jewish father. An older version of Mr. Boop makes an appearance with Billy Boop in Betty Boop, M.D..
