Jonathan Coulton - First of May - ASL Song

[SpecialistScorch]

the dude on the left i just thinkin "man we are goin to hell!"

[EmeraldSky33]

And just when I thought this song couldn't get any sexier.

[iitsmaymay]

Stephen's facial expressions during the entire video... Oh my god, I couldn't keep a straight face, I love this.

[littlenightfox]

..I want the one in the middle

[jboyd2107]

This is the best thing..ever.

[xXLawlBringerXx]

Guy in middle is really cute!

[SkyAngel135]

lol.

[2111jade]

@SkyAngel135 That's it?

[2111jade]

The song might as well be saying "Make a national "Fuck your self day"!" lol

[2111jade]

Oh this song is halarius!

[pockyprincess12]

totally gonna do this for my ASL class

even though im in high schoool.....

[handsomebrick]

It seems like some of the nuance is lost. The all-caps may be partly responsible though.

[Destructides]

What exactly do the several pluses throughout the sign language subtitles mean?

[onesidedpolygon]

@Destructides

++ means it's plural, so the sign is repeated

[VincentJGoh]

18 people got passed by in the park on the 1st of May.

[ArtisticBeki]

The guy on the right is really cute. He makes the best faces :3

[easilyamazed1234]

The facial expressions he makes during this song are SO sexy xD

[halo6842]

the guy in the middle is cute

[Daddysnorisha14]

HAHAHA adding your friends wasa twist haha and made it funnier

[ellenlaughs93]

@music4socccer They don't say sorry man and woman, they sorry mom and sorry dad.

[pockyprincess12]

that guy in the middle is kinda cute

[beatrizz123]

Muito bom, very good! ^^

[Blowaah1]

Team Blue's Leader Dosn't look Happy

[audria2010]

i was surprised that the guys in the background kept signing "fuck fuck fuck". i was not prepared for that one

[kellycauseskhaos]

I was thinking, okay. This sounds nice and then I started laughing.

[Vaydyn]

I love Joco, and this was an awesome addition to one if my favorites.

Indeed, everyone should be able to speak the language of...fuckin' outside... :-)

[colesearr]

This was so adorable!

[Dylanator999]

I love it how this is my birthday on the first of may :O !

[ilovestardust64]

You are fantastic

[TehFoolOnTehHill]

Thumbs up if you celebrated yesterday....... Outside. ;D

[vetdetta]

the lead guy has the best smile whilst he be signing this song :)

Sexy and educational!

[tiffar00]

HAPPY FUCKING BELTANE LOL



[tenspeedscarab]

I have been waiting so long to listen to this again!

[TreborMarg]

*goes outside*

[MartianSpore]

Same here

[X3BethABoo]

<3

I've literally been waiting ALL of last month to listen to this song.

[wendy645]

This cracked me up!! Makes me think of the classic Pagan pickup line... "Merry Beltane, wanna fuck?" LOL

[postmodgirl]

16 people aren't can't find anyone to celebrate spring with today.

[samiam2088]

@postmodgirl I am one of them :-(

[diadexxus]

THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! Happy First of May!

[screwyou]

Good idea, now I have plans for today!

[blarglesacks]

I love how frank sign language is. Lay=hooker.

[cheshirekatrina]

Thank you, that was fantastic. I shall go nurse my instant fangirl crush on you. You guys should consider doing burlesque (the humor aspect, not the naked--funny expressions like this are what makes burlesque work).

[chibishedevil]

This makes me ridiculously happy. You're awesome!

[mindzombi3]

I love everything.

[lurkinglark]

Best!

[MexicanGnomes]

You know what happens today..

[xRikaxRocksx]

Tomorrow! O_O

[jayxhendrix]

hehehe the first of May is just two days away.... can anyone guess what i

plan on doing that day? xD oh yes

[Aresftfun]

I don't believe I haven't thought of pressing 2 or 9 over and over and over again. XD

[bright889]

That was awesome! Love it!

[Triplethink]

Is it just me or are the two backup signers scary as all hell?

[AlienWeaver08]

LOL!! 2:36 @ the guy with orange shirt.

He looks like Harley Morenstein of EpicMealTime in my view. lolol

[MPC26]

This be some crazy shit, dudes XD absolutely wonderful ^_^

[TheGiggetygoo24]

I am greatly enjoying your ASL renditions of my favorite JoCo songs! The re: Your Brains was the first to catch my eye and I've been hooked since then. I'm currently taking an ASL 1 class at Northern Illinois University and I may show some of these to my classmates. Thanks and keep posting!

[Everetia]

I know this might sound weird, but you remind me of a satyr :D

[BigBizzleShizzle]

I think my girlfriend may leave me for you now lol

[eowynmn]

I'd ask you to put babies in me too, but someone else already did. Awesomely entertaining. ;)

[Johnnylee1889]

They need to make this a national holiday!!! If they do I'll either be very scared to go outside, or very happy to go outside!!!

[TheBoochan82]

This mad me giggle like nuts. On the chourus the backup signers are just signing ' F F F .. F F F...' pretty much.. xD

[TheBoochan82]

This mad me giggle like nuts.

[LoveMeTorxy]

LOL!

[Everetia]

I always listen to this song on my birthday which is on the first of May ;D

[jembob69]

i cant wait til the 1st of may!

[LiveWithNoRegrets95]

I love how he puts on a seductive mysterious look when he signs "$%^&ing outside" XD

plus background dancers are crazy hilarious XD



[gl3bm]

the dude in the hat in the best he looks serious the whole time. I lold

[Chancebeloudtv]

@gl3bm umm their both wearing hats, the other guys hat is just a smaller darker hat,just saying

[gl3bm]

@Chancebeloudtv haha i didnt even notice that lol

[Chancebeloudtv]

[stacnbake]

This is so awesome that there is no way to measure it.

[Novandalis]

What do they say after the song ends?

[kellyteeter]

oh my goodness i laughed so hard for this video. I got a bunch of my friends absolutely head over heals in love with Stephen, lol

[kellyteeter]

Oh wow LOL i couldn't stop laughing you still rock though

[kellyteeter]

Oh wow LOL i couldn't stop laughing

[tropoway]

Yeah, it defeinitely doesn't hurt doing a song like this when you are this much hot and adorable.

Sexy without even trying. HOW?

[JohnnyElsewhereTV]

Pretty damn amazing and entertaining!

[kymde21]

LOVE IT

[DJWidget]

I love how the background guys apologize to their parents at the end.

[ZKoftherebellion]

I should show this to my ASL friend so she can get the teacher to play it in class.

[LAH198227]

This is a GREAT video that REALLY made me wish it was spring! This video put a smile on my face! :-)

[maggierda]

wow. perfection! this song will be stuck in my head for days!

[misspoisonedapple]

A question on the language: Does the sign used for "fuck" connotate the actual act of lovemaking, or can it be used as a general cuss. (i.e. "fuck, I dropped my bag")

[SkootMom]

I just love the deliciously (sp?) evil look you have on your face!

[mindslayer]

It's criminal that this doesn't have 10 times more views.

[mansuperthatoh]

Oh, Stephen.

I thought you were completely innocent until I saw this. XD

[PurpleShoes8]

You have too much awesomeness, and an amazing goatee.

Also, I hope you realise how many people in the realms of t'internet love you :)

xxx

[tra6661]

To be honest... Stephen looks a BIT embarassed... He looks like an apple, but who wouldn't be when signing this song lol

[onnepeutpastoutavoir]

This is awesome!!!

[mazzabrittany]

hahahahahahahahahahah

[Felsmukk]

What the hell does JC smoke that he comes up with songs like this?

[SkootMom]

OMG, funniest song EVER, and your "chorus" is FAB!!!

[srpilha]

totally laughed with the "choir" for "entertain the world" :D

brilliant stuff!!!!!

[FanGirlYell]

Lol, He is talking about how much you should !!!!ing go outside, Though In sign language its !!!! Outside. Like you shouldn't.

[FanGirlYell]

@withlovecerenitie Ahem To that sista.

[withlovecerenitie]

....How sexy XD

[mrsyogadoc]

Having never heard of the song before, I'm watching this with my 20 month old b/c I like your other stuff. . . then the chorus hits!! OMG!!! To funny! I didn't know this was a NC17 song! Of course she's too young to understand it anyway. I look over to her and she's just dancing and wiggling her fingers as if SHE's signing. Then I REALLY start LMAO!! Keep you the great work!

[muffincakegoodness]

Absolutely wonderful. Love the smarmy-ish expression on your face the whole time, matching the character of the narrator of the song. You've made me smile on a crappy day, so thank you ^.^

[ohmyrensa]

@muffincakegoodness i agree, that expression while he's signing that is quite..something :p

[iamthedae]

The "Noon, Walking" motion/expression combination delights me so thoroughly. You are an awesomely skilled individual. :D

[proOutlander]

The guy on the right has this zombie face expression :o

[lovelynerd24]

you are awesome! i so want to do naughty things with you :D

[90destinie]

you are the cutest thing ever, and i want to have your babies. we can fuck outside.

[ferretmaster62]

hard to see dirty signs when lead singer looks like opie from "mayberry".

[lisax0x0x3]

this is hilarious !

[ChiaMonger]

LMAO your friends! If its not FUCK++ its ants and air humping!

[UdoShan]

Must. Learn. ASL!

[hymnofashes]

LATFH.

Still. Five stars.



[TheNizzen]

Matt Nathanson's Laid au naturel :D

[Saigeroni]

This was the absolute highlight of my day!

[Cornbawns]

you are my favorite person this month, sir.

[DarkKrystal]

Shit no one has ever said: "Stephen Torrence is NOT the most charming man on Youtube."

[lilydynamite]

Every time I watch this its gets funnier...and your facial expressions get cuter (:

Can I make the same request as EmilyElle please?

[EmilyElle]

Thank you for existing. Please put babies in me. That is all.

[DarkKrystal]

@EmilyElle I'm pretty sure this is the exact sentiment of the majority of the women watching this video right now.

[CaptainValor]

@EmilyElle Ok! ^_^

[EmilyElle]

@CaptainValor You can sign to them in utero. We'll shine a really bright light into my belly and it'lll be like a shadow puppet show.

[ohbooger]

@CaptainValor and @EmilyElle I love this converstion right now

[Bubbleboy0418]

@CaptainValor Best reply ever!

[ohbooger]

@EmilyElle

[heyitsmonica35]

@EmilyElle ....thats not creepy xD

[DarkJakable]

We are going to learn this and then start signing it randomly to each other in public.

[erinfairy06]

Great job! Funny song! Love it!

[TehRantare]

Thanks to GWS, I was able to discover this. It's ALL YOUR FAULT, Danielle. But I'm glad anyway.

[LadySunElf]

I want to fuck outside now but it isn't May. :(

[whatisnode]

And your NMS is epic.

[RowofCookies]

I love the litteral translation. Hahaha, it's funnier then the original song!

[Kimbytns]

LMAO I love the end... "WTF???"  "Sorry dude"

This one is even better than the Party in the USA!!!

[kohth3791]

What does the "++" mean after certain words?

[Ayoubsss]

@kohth3791 The + stands for how many times he repeated the same sign

[kohth3791]

@Ayoubsss Oh ok. Thanks! Your response has renewed my faith in youTube.

[Ayoubsss]

@kohth3791 haha why is that ?

[supernerd47]

@kohth3791 It means that the sign is repeated multiple times.

[CaptainValor]

@kohth3791 Repetition.

[Stridhhrafn]

@CaptainValor I just posted this on my ASL teachers Facebook- for the whole class to see. We just started learning about GLOSS today, and I felt that it was a great example.. and absolutely amazing!! :D <3

[Ilusienanimations]

I love the main 'singer's face during the whole performance XD

[whatisnode]

Gloss captions ftw!

[Nerdfighteratalie]

...we're getting married.

[duhbell]

Aaaand I just learned the sign for Hooker. This has been much more useful than any ASL class I've taken.

[elberond]

Is that Randy Milholland on the back right? Just kinda looks like him. I don't really think it is, but you never know.

[amessinger]

I don't even know ASL, and this is still comedy *gold.* Bravo.

[MrianaTroi]

That was so funny, esp if you ignore the audio and just read the signs. Great job!

[bohemia9]

cuties for back up is always good.

[Meechree]

The fuck is wrong with the kid in the back left?

[xHigherxNowx]

This is why I can't wait for my Sign Language class.

[attilathehun07]

@kala989 yes, that's an expletive sign in asl.

[DarkKrystal]

Somebody tell the guys in the background they are ruining my eye candy.

I would fuck Stephen outside. Or inside. Or on the moon.

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. <333

[purplemonkfish]

haha this is epic. I don't know why, it just IS

[kjlrwh]

Who is the guy on the left? He looks a little like my cousin-in-law.

[SuperflatNut]

Having taken ASL (and forgotten most of it), I can appreciate that you also subtitled the exact words that you were signing, since the difference in translation is something I doubt many people realize occurs that much. I especially like how well you got the mood of the song to translate, considering the above. ROCK ON.

[kala989]

The mime backup singer is my favorite. Hahahah

Okay I have to ask, is f*** also an expletive in sign language?

[pandapounce]

the background singers are SO AWESOME. but not as awesome as you. you are millions of awesome.

[skullz55555]

Damn i watch four times a day this is just such a good song lol

[killerchai]

Nice hat.

[TheDeafGoofyGurl27]

ha thats make me laugh. and love it! :)

[jesusnchocolate]

hahaha...the background signers make this vid so funny

[MwazZi]

FUCKING EPIC! Haha favorited + liked.

[beautyofgrea]

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE your facial expression?
