  • who's the woman?

  • if a deaf person did click on this they would think nice animal clip thanks for putting a signer in , far too many people getting offended on others behalf(ps A&J for prime time)

  • Comment removed

  • Just knock on my door. Puke if you have to!

  • I can not believe some of the comments below. Seriously.

  • another corker proper loving it :)

  • MOAR

  • Awesome.

  • LOL!

    the "and whats the point in that part" got me the most xD

  • This was very informational. I learned a lot about not sticking my finger up a cat's bum.

  • Pahahah!!!

  • So awesome!

  • i didnt get it the first time, but this is funny as hell, all of you get the stick out of your ass's and laugh a little

  • what do u care, deaf people cant hear it!

  • wth :s

  • Adam, is very silly.

  • Seriously folks.

    Adam is in no way mocking deaf people here.

    He's just having fun with the signing for those who can't understand it.

  • Lovely.

  • @sammyjohackshaw Wow. Completely over your head. I mean thats impressive. Didn't even rustle your hair.

  • Yeah, gotta side with norsef here. Wow.

  • Sheer genius!

  • Still...crying...can't...see..­.keyboard!

  • FAKE!

  • Haha, are you fucking retarded?

    People, don't vote this guy's comment down, if it disapears, others won't see how fucking stupid he is.

  • I think your comment is a fake! Seriously it can't be real! I don't even think you really like Steaks either! I bet you're really thin. You are a big fake!

  • My face hurts. I watched it twice.

  • hahaha, only just discovered this video. I'm actually lol'ing

  • Classic. The subtitles are a tad redundant though!

  • @fannymcslap I think they're so deaf people can enjoy it as well.

  • My wife didn't thinks so. She's deaf.

  • I don't think people realise that you mean your wife wouldn't be able to get the joke without the subtitles that Adam's added! (Morons with the thumb downs)

  • Yes, that is what I meant. The subtitles are certainly not redundant if you are hard of hearing.

    Thanks for clearing that up.

  • That's alright. It's good to see that Adam and Joe fans are, on the whole, very reasonable people :-)

  • @Ashwilliamskithe3rd Fuck off you pompous ass! The only mistake I made was to forgot that Americans don't get British humour.

  • @kevmc291 we do too! Buxton is a welcome breath of fresh air in a country where they routinely try to convince us that Adam Sandler is funny :(

  • @themediashow Thankyou!. I'm glad you like it and that you realised that my original comment was not intended to insult the deaf. I wish more youtube clips were captioned.

  • Comment removed

  • first time i've laughed so hard in ages

  • Cool. ADAM YOU ROCK.

  • Comment removed

  • Right, people are complaining all the time:

    The joke is this:

    This is what sign language appears to be saying to people who don't know how to read it.

    It is not making fun of deaf or hearing-impaired people.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • You can at least be mannerable to me: I have tried to explain why this is not an attack on the hearing-impaired, and you call my comment "shit".

    Believe what you want, I won't bother trying to explain to you; I have no time for people who repay kindness with spite, deaf or not.

  • DoctorMelon - are you deaf or what?

  • Comment removed

  • perhaps it is you who make a fool toward deaf?

  • You haven't actually argued your point at all. It's making a joke about what the sign language LOOKS like it's saying to people who don't understand it. I suppose some people just WANT to be offended.

  • If you think it's making a mockery out of deaf people, you've missed the point entirely.

  • I love this woman who signs. I really like to watch her and try to learn some sign language from her. Does anyone know her name?

  • pepsico8, have you ever heard of hearing aids?

  • of course I know what hearing aid is. Do you think I'm stupid huh, I am happy man and I do not like hearing people making a fool to deaf

  • Then you will understand that I can hear music. You know, with a hearing aid.

  • Well there nothing wrong when you want to use hearing aid that good for you to hear things but surely this video quite offhand really

  • pepsico8, I disagree, it isn't "offhand". It isn't taking the mockery out of deaf people. The whole point of this joke is the irony with hearing people. Most hearing don't understand sign language so they need translation. When a hearing person sees signing he/she tries to guess what it means. It's not like as if he/she says "That looks stupid, let's make fun of it!" The point is what hearing people THINK sign language means when they see it for the first time! :) Something like that.

  • When you meet a hearing person and ask them to guess what meaning of a sign you do, they'll guess but most of the time they'll get it wrong because sign language is not very obvious or easy. It's like when a hearing person speaks and asks a deaf person to guess what they are saying - most of the time deaf people get it wrong (because lipreading is not always easy!). So, this is where the fun joke comes in and the "wrong" (ie. what hearing people guess) translation is put to show this point.

  • Comment removed

  • pepsico8, I have actually had a hearing person listen to it to see what you claim and the bubble speech matches what the voice over says - the bubble speech has been put up for deaf people to understand what the voice over is saying (to get the joke). This isn't making a fool out of deaf people but HEARING people - because it's about what hearing people ASSUME sign language is saying when they see it for the first time! You still don't understand the point of this joke, do you? :S

  • Also, pepsico8 (and goodtube77, too) I know perfectly well what the BSL interpreter is saying (because like I have said already I am a fluent native BSL signer). And I know perfectly well what the voice over is saying (same with the speech bubbles). The only difference between me and you is that I understand this joke (and I have a sense of humour) and you don't. Why? Because you are too dumb! (whoops, I mean, STUPID!) Ooh, the irony!

  • Comment removed

  • goodtube77, you extremely obnoxious. You are not constructive and can't argue without spouting obnoxious comments.

    What has my being gay got to do with this? I won't waste anymore time with people who have zero count of brain cells such as you. End of.

  • hahah you must be trolling, only a complete idiot would try and win an argument about racism by using arbitrary homophobic slurs.

    You are a disgrace to the deaf community, that is, if you aren't some sort of elaborate troll.

  • danondiz, I disagree with you and you don't understand it too, The woman who sign language is in perfect but the voice over someone change over with fool talking it was Adam Buxton who making it up also subtitle on screen it made up that 3 different meaning altogether, I felt sorry for you because you don't understand with voice over meant and you use hearing aids and don't understand what he say, Or are you making a fool toward deaf?????? if yes you're disgrace

  • I'm deaf and a native BSL user and this is the most hilarious stuff I've ever come across. Genius. I was laughing til my ribs hurt!

    Fellow deaf who got insulted need to grow sense of humour!

    Now I'm gonna watch it again for one more laugh!

  • Comment removed

  • pepsico8, is this message for me? I am profoundly deaf since birth and a fluent user of British Sign Language. But fine you don't have to believe me. I don't know you. All I know about you though is that you are just sad and depressing.

  • Comment removed

  • pepsico8, how am I "so thick" and "stupid head"?

    I only said that you are sad and depressing because that's exactly what you come across as on here.

    I haven't done anything so as to be what you claim. I laughed at the video because it is funny. You get offended at the video. Not my problem. But to go around insulting others and just being obnoxious just because they find it funny is totally childish. Grow up.

  • danondiz - oh I see you come from Inverness but living at London, I know what Inverness deaf people like cos it so quiet and boring but you now live in London to make your life better???? so I don't need to hear or read your comment because you like hear music that mean you can hear, It baffle me really

  • Try to be understand can you hear what video say??? it not what voice over say exact what sign language say bring your friend listen to what voice over say you'll be surprise, It is really very rude and it make deaf people stupid which is not

  • That was the funniest fucking thing I've seen in ages man. Brilliant.

  • You're right, I'm not deaf; but I still can't see how you'd think that essentially every disabled person constitutes a different race

  • How is he being a racist? Seriously.

  • Ah Adam, once again you regale us with your greatness!

    Sorry to bring a downer on it; but what are you people talking about calling him a racist?

    Do deaf people constitute a new race of people?

    Does that mean that mutes are a different race as well, or the blind for that matter? I must say you have a pretty good argument, being disabled really does make you a different race to any other human being that you pass in the street after all!

    Good one ; )

    Adam, all the best and hope to see more!

  • Comment removed

  • I laughed until I cried

  • dont stick your finger ups its bum or it'll sneeze and crap everywhere. LOLZ!

  • this is so funny hahah! god people lighten up! its comedy

  • this is the funniest video ive seen.... and anyone who thinks that he is a racist should really calm down a bit, i mean, hes not taking the piss of deaf people anyway, hes just making a funny interpretation of the sign language. hes not being offensive, and i bet if u asked him he would assure you he has nothing against the deaf. get a sense of humour, yeah? stop living your lives in fear of being politically incorrect

  • calm down deaf peeps, buckles takes the piss outa everyone.

  • Screw off surely I can eat three or four!

  • That was one of the funniest lines

  • Oh I guess the BBC ore already paying you the big buck. But you can never get to much money while you're hot.

  • I laughed til I cried. I must work with you. I'll be in touch. LOL LOL Must watch that again.

  • If anything, it's taking the piss out of people like myself that don't understand sign language.

    In our ignorance we could at best only attempt to decipher those complicated hand movements - and then hope to be even 1/10th as hilarious as this.

    Also, can someone enlighten me as to why AB is meant to be racist?

    You black deaf cunt.

  • it's just a bit if childish fun - chill out people

  • He's also fucking HILARIOUS

  • why am i the only 1 that get's this? IT IS NOT A JOKE ABOUT DEAF PEOPLE! IT IS A JOKE ABOUT THE SIGN GUY! I THINK PEOPLE R LOOKING 4 THINGS 2 COMPLAIN ABOUT NOW!

  • Good one Adam!

    Watch out for PC gone mad!

  • Thank you for replying quickly and without using foul language.

    Deaf and hearing humour is too complicated to discuss on small YouTube comment box. Some offensive. Some not offensive. Some funny, some not funny.

    But as I have just mentioned I am not going to make further comments in case some deaf YouTube viewers misunderstand and think I hate them when I do not.

    Again, thanks for your reply.;)

  • 2/3

    Some deaf people don't like hearing jokes, some hearing people don't like deaf jokes. But you cannot ban it.

    The YouTube comment box is not the right place to have a proper debate about the rights and wrongs of both hearing and deaf humour. I imagine you and I have much more to say about this matter, but there is not enough room. When there is not enough room readers will misunderstand the point you or I are trying to make.

  • 3/3

    If we ever met in my local Deaf Club I would be perfectly happy to explain face-to-face in B.S.L. the point I was trying to make.

    So, please understand I DO NOT hate deaf or hearing people.

  • 1/3

    I apologise for the confusion. But I'm not going to make any more comments regarding Adam Buxton. Because the deaf YouTube community misunderstand the point I and many other hearing people are trying to make between deaf humour and hearing humour.

    For example: You said 'I notice that you didn't like deaf people.' But I have never said that in any of my comments. When did I say that?

    I like both hearing and deaf humour.

  • the deaf translation things r on meebox wich is broadcast by the bbc. so he is getting in no trouble whatsoever. and by the way it's not a poke at deaf people it's a poke at the sign language guys

  • that's neither here nor there the point is it's not making fun of deaf people. and he did have something like this on meebox, wich was actually 1 of the best bits.

  • Then once your finished with that maybe you could go into the street and look for cars without tax. God why does the world have to be filled with pricks like you.

  • Ha you go run to the bbc and make a big fuss about adam buxton offending you then. Do you really think anyone gives 2 fucks wot you think anyway. You need to lighten up man. It's a joke.

  • Racists? Are you calling deaf people a race?

  • You are not listening. I said

    "Are you calling deaf people a RACE" not Racists.

    How can adam buxton be a racist, if deaf people aren't even a race!? Do you understand now?

  • You were still wildly innacurate to call it racist.

    I think you need to grow a sense of humour too. Good luck!

  • It's the same as overdubbing someone's voice which doesn't insult people who can hear. Besides if you're deaf I think the last thing you're worried about is a youtube video.

  • Adam, if you revisit this, can you disable in-video notes? Someone's done a fine job of eliminating the humour by adding speech bubbles. I can totally appreciate deaf people not finding this funny, but I would imagine they don't find it offensive either.

  • Fucking Racists

  • I thought this was one of the funniest things I've seen in ages.

  • You only looking for trouble

    And I don't believe that your family or friend are deaf, If they are really deaf they suppose complain it why aren't they ???????????

    You're a bummer

  • You missed my point completely. Pepsico8 is complaining because Adam Buxton is making fun out of dumb hearing people (not deaf people) who misunderstand sign language.

    Four Deaf Yorkshiremen is funny. They do talk about deaf culture and their youth. But the joke was that it is horrible to have hearing parents. That's the funny punchline. It's a joke. All I was saying was hearing people don't find it offensive watching deaf people joke that having hearing parents is awful.

  • you're fucking arsehole cunt, your comment are shit AdamBuxton is a fucking racists so are you too so fuck off

  • Clean your mouth out. You immature child.

  • While you're at it ignoramus, you might want to look up 'racist' in your dictionary.

    And next time you wish to abuse YouTube contributors you know nothing at all about, buy a thesauraus too, for alternative abusive words to add to your tourettes vocabulary.

    It's true what over twenty-five's say: Never make an opposing point of view on Youtube. All you'll receive is immature abusive comments from teenagers.

    And I've discovered that at first hand. Heaven help us if you're over 25.

  • see what I mean it the same thing as AdamBuxton make a fool of deaf

    'Clean your mouth out. You immature child'

    What a laugh

    You sound like minister

  • Grrr. You don't make any sense whatsoever.

    'Clean your mouth out' is a figure of speech! I suppose saying (typing) 'figure of speech' is offensive to you as well?

    You're paranoid. You see evil everywhere and think everyone hates deaf people. This may come as a surprise, but no one hates deaf people. Quite the opposite.

    My friends at deaf club always joke about my hearing. I don't cry and call them offensive things and racist. I laugh because it is a joke.

  • Grrr or more Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    I always loves jokes but this one is different,

    It not a joke,

    I am not paranoid and I'm not see evil everywhere

    Do you think you are doctor

  • Ah - the 'I will refuse to answer your questions properly and end my comment with a childish retort' routine. (Do you think you are a doctor/minister? etc.)

    Well, at least not peppering your comment with unnecessary foul language is a start.

    But like previous contributors, I have failed miserably to make you understand people are not racist if they have different opinions to you. I hope someone else is brave enough to attempt to get through to you.

    Whoever tries - good luck.:)

  • I felt sorry for you tudgefunnel

    You are an arsehole

    I am not stupid

    Someone on my side to fuck off you

    Sorry byeeee

  • Thank you. You have proven my point that you never answer questions put to you and only use foul language.

    Well done. Keep it up. Swear, swear, swear. Continue to never answer questions. Refuse to answer questions. Blah blah blah, swear, swear, swear.

    Oh, you do not agree with me? Then you are a rasict, swear, swear, swear.

    Please, keep calling people who do not agree with you rude names. Please swear, swear, swear. I'm a bummer - brilliant. It's like being back at school.

    GROW UP!

  • You still at it you need GROW UP TOO

    Everyone agree with me okay

  • Baa Baa Black sheep

    Have you any wool

    Yes sir yes sir

    three bag full

    One for the master

    And one the dame

    And one for tudgefunnel

  • What ru on about! Adam Buxton is in no way offensive. and i'm not explaining why this is not offensive again! look at the other comments i left!

  • in what way? this is making fun of sign language and there is nothing wrong with that. and how exactly can u make fun of deaf people, even if u wanted 2?

  • But also he's a genius.

  • GIMP!!! Cos race comes into this issue wheerrree....?

  • amazing, i love doing this when im lean.

  • Please do more of these they're really funny. :D

  • genius & fellow mutes shud lighten up heehee

  • As an employee of the RNID I can honestly say that hand on heart this exactly what is going on when the sign language interpreters are signing to their audience. Nice work keep it coming !

  • Some tears actually came out while I was laughing at this.

  • Comment removed

  • indeed I am a minister. The minister for silly walks. What about you?

  • Ahh,,, Monty Python :)

  • lol thanks groundgirl79

    I get it you are deaf too?

  • This is good, but I prefer the first one. The frantic pace kept the random explanations coming faster. Additionally Adam, could you de-interlace your videos please? Youtube is full of idiots that don't , please do not become one of them. Thanks, love you bye, thanks bye.

  • Funny, but the annotations were distracting.

  • LOL this is funny.

    Bravo Buxton! BRAVO!

    to the deaf flamers: my deaf cousin found this funny btw.

  • Comment removed

  • 1.) You are somewhat at odds with Pellegrina8's view, she is also deaf but she finds these sketches hilarious.

    2.) Is it ever really necessary to swear like that in public?

  • I am hearing and my parents are deaf.

    Anyway, if making subtitles not match what interpreter is signing means Adam Buxton is racist and discriminatory, what about hearing TV sketch when French man say rude things to English man, but hearing interpreter pretend French man say nice things. Do you think that racist and discriminatory too?

  • Well it is, You are hearing you understand what it mean but deaf can't hear and didn't realise it a joke that how most deaf people not happy

  • I think it strange you find it offensive.

    My deaf parents and deaf brother-in-law love Seinfeld episode when Jerry Seinfeld ask his lip-reading deaf girlfriend 'if you want to meet for SIX'. But his girlfriend leaves unhappy because she thought he said 'if you want to meet for SEX'.

    It's funny because Jerry is dumb. It is funny because it is about confusion and misunderstanding - like real life.

    Watch 'Four Deaf Yorkshiremen'. Tell me if racist and discriminatory to hearing people?

  • You are an arsehole Four Deaf Yorkshire didn't joke about hearing it about their life when they were young about deaf that all but this Animal 24-7 with signing for deaf is offensive AdamBuxton made up voice over with different subtitles, My hearing friend who is knowledge with sign language say to me this is very offensive I'm not happy with it, I think you making a fool to your deaf family which they believe in you, And you are racists
