I love the idea,and I can see where it's going, but it doesn't seem to quite get there; I think I'd have been more inclined to follow the original structure and ideas more closely and work the deaf thing in alongside. The missing little finger gag works, but the bailiffs that can't understand BSL doesn't, and part of the original gag is that the repeated 'Luxury' contrasts with the luxury they live in now, and if they are just in a WMC, that joke disappears.
The counselor on a deaf community Deafornot dot c om said that "People who may be defined as clinically deaf (unable to hear spoken language) may or may not be members of the Deaf community."
this sketch has been re-written for the Deaf audience from four yorkshire men, I am learning to become an intepreter and doing a uni project on translating/interpreting humour to and from BSL, this sketch will not be as humourous to hearing people as for the subject they all try to outdo eachother by who's had the worse upbringing and as we the hearing audience use other minority's as the underdog. hearing oke about those who oppress them. I see exactly why it is appealing .both are funny!
I know this is a "take off" on Monty Python and I'm not going to comment on that, other than it doesn't seem all that funny. HOWEVER...I am utterly fascinated by their signing. Lovely, , graceful, eloquent - even if one doesn't know what they are saying, one understands that this is 4 men arguing (gently) about something! Really very poetic & it gives one more understanding into the world of the deaf; that we, the hearing, are cut off from them, just as much as they are from us; to our loss!
this was interesting. i've never seen a skit in what i'm asuming is BSL (i live in america, so i'm used to ASL) very cool. predictable, but cool none the less.
THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING EVER. BUT I LOVE MY MOM SO I AM NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.If you don't copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours
I know a little asl, enough to have a conversation, anyway, and this was really interesting how some of the signs were so similar to asl. Really enjoyed the film!
Hi Charlie! I don't know if you remember. I'm Max,one of Italian boys you met in Spain some years ago. How are you? And your brother? I added you on facebook. Congratulations for your film , is really good. I hope we'll can speak again on facebook,we had not forgotten our english friend! :-) . I ask you sorry for my terrible english! Hi, "stella cadente"!
but almost half of their signs were exactly like asl! I watched this thinking this was ASL, thought it was remedial ASL until friend of mine explained to me this was BSL lol
I thought this was very good. I laughed out loud at the ending. I am hearing am am learning sign on my own. It's a slow process. This video was very funny!
Sorry, I know I'm gonna get slated for this, but I'm not going to pretend to be bowled over by this just because the actors are deaf. The idea was a good one, but they could have thrown a bit more humour into it all before the punchline. Acting wasn't too bad, but the lack of humour made it boring.
lol rofl that extreme funny@@!@@ yea hearing have worse life with deaf... cos they cant talk together and u got owned! lol just 10 pound... i rather bet 50 pound or something
its a beautiful film of deaf actors in different sign language with their talents. Keep up the good work!I'll pass to this video to my all of my deaf friends.
I am American living in St. Louis, Missouri; my wife is native of Yorkshire - we find this video truly funny and entertaining. Keep up great works, you 4 deaf actors. I'd like to buy this video on DVD, if possible?
At the moment a DVD is not available, but if enough people want one, I can ask the actors and production company and see if everyone agrees - then maybe get some made. Thanks!
I can't hear a bloody word?
