Random Youtube Tuesday!

Today's random youtubes come from this youtube profile.

I came across it a long time ago when I was looking for ASL songs people have put up.

This guy is an ASL comedian. He's a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) who signs skits that are just hilarious.
Even if you don't know sign language, you'll laugh.

This one was the first one I came across. I was searching random songs and found this.



A little bit of explanation, for anyone who has no clue of ASL. When he fisrt starts interpreting, his signs are literal translations of the words. For example, "the party is jumpin'" he signs "party jumping" as in, this party is literally jumping up and down. When he rolls up his pant leg, he switches to ASL order and signing. It translates using the concepts of the words, not a literal one. Instead of signing that the rapper is driving, he becomes the rapper and shows what he's singing of doing. Finally, when he changes again, its in correct english word order...fingerspelled. It's impressive.

My other favorite video that he does is a story about his mom driving. It's kind of about deaf drivers in general, exaggerated. It's really funny.



So, that's it today. If you want to see more, check out his profile that I linked to earlier. ^^
