ASL Joke: The Farmboy and the Priest

[freedomdances]

And by the way, I'm a deafie too. ;)

[freedomdances]

LOL her expressions are just like us deafies use. Some of u haven't really seen nothing yet. Happyhands expression is mild compared to some deafies. lol I love her expressions, etc. Just like many deafies i know. Keep it up girl!! You doing what most deafies do. By the way, loved that joke. Never heard that one before. haha Poor daddy under the hay. ROFLLLL Hope he got him out in time. hahaha GOOD ONE!! LOL

[SignLanguageLaura]

The tongue...that's part of the sign. it's used to add emphasis. It's part of the language. Those who criticize it just don't understand.

HappyHands you are sooo deaf. lol. I'd take all these complaints as compliments to your skills.

[sweetdeafangel23]

ha ha ah!!

[girlycat]

haha oh no! dad! i haven't heard that joke.

[AnnaBananaMontana]

haha that was an unexpected twist, i liked your facial expressions a lot :)

[watching656]

Tone down your facial expressions just a little bit. Other than that your signing is good. ;)

What an interesting joke!

[RebornReaperDOOM]

@watching656 Facial expressions are a crucial part of her signing style; why would she need to "tone them down"?

I loved it! Never heard that one before :D

[watching656]

@RebornReaperDOOM But it's too much. I'm deaf, and I know which is good and bad. I don't do this at all. It's just that she needs to relax and be natural with her expressions.

[RebornReaperDOOM]

@watching656 Having re-watched this, I have to agree with you. It's a little over-the-top.

I also noticed that she's a bit of a "noisy signer." Lots of clicks, and snaps, and claps... I didn't notice the first time, because I'd had the volume turned down. That is even more distracting to me.

(I still enjoyed the joke, though :))

[watching656]

@RebornReaperDOOM Oh I didn't hear any of that. hahaha I was watching her lips like other deaf students would do. Yeah, it's a nice joke, and I want to see more of those kinds of jokes. Having said that, I want to correct her in some areas. Tone down her facial expressions and also control that tongue of hers because it's really disturbing for me, especially when I'm reading her lips. Sorry I have to say this, but it's better to care and be honest than lying to someone...

[SignLanguageLaura]

@RebornReaperDOOM That's deaf culture. I see nothing wrong with her expressions and the clicks...if you guys spent more time with deaf people, you wouldn't have a problem with it.

I do it too. You can tell she learned her ASL from deaf people and not a textbook. ...CODA?

[RebornReaperDOOM]

@SignLanguageLaura Please don't prejudge me. I am going to school to be an ASL interpreter, and I hang out with Deaf people all the time.

I understand that facial expressions are a part of Deaf culture, and certain expressions (ie tongue sticking out) are connected to certain signs. I'm not disputing that.

As for sounds, I only meant that she makes a lot of sound for an interpreter. That's the part that would be distracting (to hearing clients). I think she's a fantastic storyteller, fyi.

[Senoritat]

HAHAHA... SO FUNNY... I need to break time from my laughing and stomach is little bit hurt.. wheew!

[gregvanderlaan]

Thanks! It's funny... I don't speak sign language at all... but... somehow I understand enough to be entertained. I'm recommending this video to my friends and family... GOOD JOB!
