  • Why was it necessary to have the artificial audience?

    This was funny enough not to need a laughing machine to indicate where to laugh.

  • @bbcisrubbish

    Thanks for your comment. The laughs are part of the original episode, so didn't remove them.

  • I don't believe "mechaye" translates directly into English, but I understand it to be a word used to describe something as a relief or a breath of fresh air.

  • @LaurenNYC1

    It means something that's a total and complete pleasure

  • This video was absolutely hysterical! I used to watch Sienfeld in the 90'd and thought it was the dummest show ever! But in Yiddish, and they are talking the Litvishe Yiddish that my late parents spoke, it the funniest thing ever. Please make more, I just love it!

  • @Jenny1954

    Thanks for the comment. Yes you're 100% right about the accent. It's pure native "Litvish". There are 4 more Yiddish Seinfeld's on youtube (all with the Litvistn accent!)

  • Much of Yiddish is made up of words from the languages of the various countries in which Jews have lived. You'll even hear English words in it.

  • Seinfeld in Yiddish...the way it should have been!

  • This is simply wonderful.

    I eagerly await new Yiddish Seinfelden.

    Zol zayn mit glik.

    a shayleh: fun vanen hot ihr idish gelernt?

  • @bbcisrubbish well, this show is shot with a live audience..

  • @LaurenNYC1

    Ya that is right. The word "fargenign" is also similar I think, it means a "pleasure".

  • I can't get over this. Whenever I am in a shitty mood I just watch this vid and I laugh. And to think that there are 97 idiots that "dislike" this vid.

  • IT'S A MITZVAH!

  • sounds very similar to German, Oh the Irony.

  • as a seinfeld fan, breaking bad fan, curb your enthusiasm fan, and student of german for several years (yiddish is quite close!), this is amazing. thanks.

  • Hysterical!!!

  • yiddish sounds like german.

  • Love it that the priest also speaks yiddish
