I think Vicks is the uniter of all of us.
Eclectic Muse. Indeed, the Holy Vick's was apparently necessary for all of us to grow up healthy. God help me. They'd put it on my chest and then place a warm cloth over it IF I WERE LUCKY! If not, it was just the damned Vick's.
@@melindac3368 You weren't living in an Australian household if you weren't bought up on Vicks. I still have some in the medicine cabinet. It's good to keep mosquitoes away, just a little on the outside of the nostrils.
😂 my immigrant mom put it on me
My Pennsylvania Dutch mother certainly placed great faith in it.
I mean. My regular Texan white mom slathered is in vicks every chance she got…
"So no one looks at you and cripples your soul" Sebastian always makes me laugh so hard
I could listen to the old world value comedy all day. I love it
LOL. Jamaicans use Vicks too. We still do. Once when I was younger, and had a roasting fever, my grandmother sliced limes and put over my entire body. She saved my life that night with limes and Vicks. I miss my grandmother so much.
Or your immune system cooked off the bug you had in your system. Just a thought.
@@82dupont Yep. This sounds more like it.
Yes felt that same resonation😆
@@82dupont yes, that and the intense feeling...of being rubbed up with love
@@Jo_spice_blackwood Yeah., I'm going with being rubbed with love. When I was little and had a tummy ache my mother used to hold me & rub my stomach firmly for a long time until I felt better or fell asleep. To this day sometimes when I stuff myself & get the old T-ache I rub it and think of my mother and if it still hurts I cant tell. I'm back with my mommy holding me making it better.💖💔
"Italians believe that if someone looks at you the wrong way, they can give you back luck.' All the non-Italians in the audience are laughing and we Italians are dead silent. We know exactly what he's talking about.
My wife is from the Kentucky hills. The look thing applies here too. They call it puttin’ a hex on you.
We Africans also totally understand and are very quiet. Lol
hispanics call it ojo lol
If that happens I keep my right hand in my pocket, making 'the horns' to keep bad luck away LOL
The Evil Eye
When I bought my first car after HS, in 2018, I bought a 97' Honda Accord from an old school Italian family, being Italian myself when I got home I thought "What if the red horn is in here" Sure enough in the center console, there it was. I started laughing like crazy and my mom was so confused. "The Fuckin' EYE!"
"why are potatoes on my head?" what a great t-shirt this would make
Just do it
Great idea 🤣
And how we (Italians) expect the 18K gold horn to be seen, on the rope chain buried in 5" thick chest hair
YEP!!! 😁😆😅🤣😂🤤
I wore mine as a prebubesce teen, before the chest hair kicked in. Good memories
Oh YES !!!! I remember that Vicks !!!!!😅😂🤣
From the minute the car you bought pulled in the driveway, the horn was the first thing put in it. All my family has one either hanging on the rear view mirror or in the glove box! I can always distinguish which white SUV is mine in a parking lot! And yes, explaining to non Italians is sometimes cringe worthy, but wouldn’t dare to take the horn out. 🇮🇹
Haha old-timer Greeks believe that very same thing! I remember being a child and going back home telling my grandma I was having a headache and she was telling me "I got the eye" by people talking about me. Then she would put me sit on a chair and chant some Christian orthodox psalms. Finally she would give me a little pebble called "The Eye of Virgin Mary" to carry with me anywhere I go
Same in Bulgaria 😂😂😂
if you have to explain the purpose of an italian horn….and other perfectly good “superstitions” to your date-dealbreaker!
The rock and roll horns is originally an Italian hand jester to ward off the evil eye. Ronnie James Dio learned this from his Italian grandmother.
It's not exclusively Italian, it is an old occultic symbol used to represent Satan, also used by practicing Satanists who understand the power behind it. It's very occultic, as is all the superstitious beliefs different cultures have.
My mother always did the boiling water/vicks schpeel when I was sick 🤣🤣🤣 Now I do it to my kids! Lmao
My grandmother would do the vicks and raw potato on the bottom of our feet. We only wore black socks when we were kids. We survived so don't know if it helped but it didn't hurt.
Da fucking Vicks steam toweltent!!!!!
My mom SWORE by that thing.
I still hate Vicks and she still loves it.
Btw, my family is Caribbean.
Our people Vicks too 🙋🏽♀️
Cubans do Vicks, too.
My Taiwanese mom made me do it too!!! 😂
I still do the vicks … hover over a pot of hot water soaking in the fumes. I’m stocked up on vicks in my house….I have the sniffles, out comes the vicks…waddayagonnado it’s hard to get the old school sh*t outta you…
Also when babies are born they would put something red around the crib. Also wearing something red for evil eye. It's hard to get those teachings out of your life sometimes.
I'm an Italian brought up in Australia and everything you brought up is exactly how it was even down here 😊 great job
Same here but I got the Isopropyl alcohol rub down also legs thighs, feet, and arms from my grandma
I'm Italian in USA, it's the same here. Lol
Every Italian tradition like this as well as Christmas and Christmas Eve and wine and sauce making and all the others should never die
Vicks and Vaseline, them two was the cure all to be all back in the day.
And iodine! Don't forget the iodine! .....or was that just me (in England) lol
@@Mortthemoose Can't forget the iodine! Not to mention the Witch Hazel, and Hydrogen Peroxide.
My mom's side was a mix of European things, but they also did all the Vicks and the towel over the boiling water (which I got a lot because I was the constantly sick child). Meanwhile, my father's completely Irish family that had several doctors in it were just like, "Rub some dirt on it."
omg yes rubbing dirt on bee stings was a big thing lol to funny
Omg 😆 right???😝😝😝🙏🏻❤️
Depends on the dirt. If it has a high clay content, like yellowish Bentonite clay all over the area where I live in Sicily, it removes toxins from the body like potatoes. These remedies are thousands of years old and were known by all the ancient healers. Guess who has been supressing this ancient knowledge??????????
Yes this is actually a thing. Yes my very Italian family warned me about the mallook.... they even had a ceremony for getting rid of it. A drop of oil was placed in a bowl of water and prayers were said. When the mallook was cured, the oil was supposed to disappear from the water. My mother had this done for her when she was 16. I don't know what was put in the water to make the oil dissipate, but she swears up and down that the oil disappeared after the prayers.
My mom and grandma, too!! ❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Brother, all that got me better against covid.
I'm Italian American and I have the red horn hanging where it can't be seen in my kitchen cabinet. That's the way I was brought up, so I know where you are coming from. 👍🤗❤😘
When it comes to comedy, diversity is actually our strength. This is hilarious.
Just googled that car.
How did you ever get a date? 😂😂😂
(just jokes, relax people)
Its for the demons ya know 🌶😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg I just put Vicks on me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My mom use to say, don't let people take a picture of you. They can put a curse on you! And yes, I had the horn in my car. Now I just wear a gold one around my neck 🇮🇹
My sisters & I didn't get our ears pierced until we were in our 20s. My mother wouldn't allow it because her mother didn't let her and she never did it. Reason? Evil spirits can get in your body through the holes! 🤣
@@2004mojo I never heard of that, but it would've made sense at the time.The old school Italians had their own beliefs and we just went along with it ☺️
@@TheBarbarino28 I'm African-American and I think no matter your race, religion or culture etc the more people are different the more they are the same. These old wives tales from everyone posting are hilarious. I think EVERY kid in the past has had that Vicks treatment! I know I did! 🤣
@@2004mojo We are the same, I am middle Eastern from Palestine, we have the eye and we hang stuff on our car, not pepper in specific but any weird thing to make people look at it instead of looking at you. We do the Vicks trick too 😂😂.
@@hindiyeh85 Looks like Vicks is the common denominator of the world for cold remedy etc 🤣
That vicks thing is sooooo much Indian, 🤣🤣🤣I still have that when my asthma appears.. love from India ❤️!!
Vicks! ABSOLUTELY! Everything he said is TRUE ! Teach your kids the old school, old world stuff. They won't forget it.
The fucken EYE!!!
love this man. And his pops.
In Australia we pronounce it Toyota Sil Lee ka.
Queenslander.
Your Italian a pepper? LOL. You needed Pepperoni hanging. My first car was a 1980 Trans AM, maroon with T/Tops. (Inspired by Smoky & the Bandits LOL).
Just seen your show this Saturday at the Wynn. Absolutely hilarious. My wife and I love it. Thank you for making us feel normal again.
I just discovered Sebastian Maniscalco this year. I know what I've missed but oh what a great find & I'm having a great time watching. I've been laughing (hard) every day for months with his videos.🤣
Growing Up italian I can definitely relate to all of this.😂😂😂 Oh, my God, cracks me up so bad!😂
My Mexican Mom would put a towel over her head, the second she hears thunder or lightning.
She actually would do the Vicks in boiling water method. I must be part Italian also.
I always thought Italians Americans and Mexican Americans were so similar. God, family, great food, and the best get togethers!
Loved seeing you in Phoenix on a Sunday when the house wasn’t full. You weren’t married yet and your mother in-law was there. Only guy that can make a joke about that.
What guy are we talking about and mother in law who ? what's this all about Justin what's the joke about her LJM
Ah Vicks, the smell of my childhood.
Vicks saved me when I had Covid and that's a fact 💯
I wear a cornuto on a necklace for protection against the malocchio. And yes, when I was growing up, the Vicks went everywhere, including the bottom of my feet. Then I had to put on socks after the Vicks was rubbed on my feet! It was so normal that I thought everyone did it. LOL!
Besides the red pepper my grandmother had the upside down horse shoe with it over the front door. Never bring a baby out until it’s christened.
My one grandmother had a ward against witchcraft by the front door. She gave dream catches to family. She boiled lead to see what the future held every new years. She prayed for everyone. She was a beautiful person of faith. I was blessed to be loved by her and smile.
My Cuban father-in-law put Pine-Sol on EVERYTHING!
🤣🤣🤣
immigrant families!! lol love mines to death
LOVE this clip. It is a more complete "RED PEPPER" segment 🌶
In napoli very popular. Also gold for necklaces might be more common now
My family is Spanish & Italian, we have more superstitions & natural remedies than anybody! ...Youre right, Vicks was king, and then they would also douse you with alcolado which was some green menthol alcohol lol. Godforbid someone lit a match lol.. 🤣
Alcolado Superior
Don't forget the Windex!
My husband is Mexican and you are soooooooo right about the alcohol and Vicks. Swear to God.💜
In India some cars have have green peppers and lemons tied together with a string hanging off of the rear view mirror. And yes, it is for the demons, as far as I know xD
Cod liver oil for every tummy ache.
CLO at the change of sessons. Back when people were healthy!
Color of the car: "Shit Brown"🤎.... LOL 🤣
Better than "Snot Green"💚 🙂
He forgot the garlic to ward off the evil spirits lol
a rabbit is eating my pepper plants. get me the bologna and antifreeze!
My Italian Grandma (Nunny) lived with us. If I got a cold she rub something called hot mustard pack and safety pin a towel around my neck and chest. It would burn my chest. She would also make us drink warmed red wine when we had a cold. Then if we sprained our wrist, ankle, etc. she’d rub goose grease that came in a jar. Lastly, I was forced to wear a red horn and various medals safety pinned to my bra strap. That one was hard to explain in the gym room in middle school.
FBI here. I remember the hot mustard pack. A few years ago I had a lower back injury that still bothers me. When it's really bad I mix 3T ground mustard (can only find it thru MY SPICE SAGE) 3T of flour and enough water to make a paste. Slather this on a hot water dampened old (you'll prolly want to discard it) hand towel or mapina. Place it on the sore area with a hot water bottle on top. Works wonders!🙏
@@phyllissinopoli2655 wow. I’m 51 years old and I couldn’t remember exactly where she got it or how she did it. I hated it, but I got better. BTW, my Nunny lived until she was 96. We actually shared the same bed! She’d tell me all these old world stories at night. My parents would yell out, “hey you guys, shut up and go to sleep.” I miss her so very much.
We did the hot mustard packs too! And if it was spring we had to go actually pick the mustard in the fields behind our house. Old School!
Why do you have a red pepper hanging from your window 🤣🤣🤣 .. Love you Sebastian.
Oh, we know ALL about the malocchio and the red horn from the rear view mirror. We STILL do it. Yes, the Vicks!! We had it in a vaporizer, too, when I was sick. My Italian mom took the BEST care of me. Remember the alcohol rags on your forehead to bring a fever down? It all worked! 😊❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Being Italian I'm very familiar with many of the things you mentioned. However, no one has mentioned the "Humpbacked Man ". My. mother gave me a gold charm to wear around my neck and it was of a humpback man who was to take any evil that came my way and store it in his humped back. I wear it everyday.
Anyone ever had ouzo rubbed on their stomach for aches? We greeks spare no expense lol
Omg I can relate to this kind treatment. My mother would make me sit with my face directly above the boiling pot of water that she prepared with her cocktail, mainly leaves and herbs😂. That steam would almost burn my face. Then she put a blanket over me saying it would keep the water hot longer. She didn’t care if I die in there. She made me sit for 20 mins and I better sweat a lot b4 she let me go.
Yep…been there done that
I so relate to all of your comedy! both sides my mother and father are Sicilian. My father came to this country when he was 32 or 33 years old, my mother was born here but her mother and father are from the old country. ALL of your stories remind me of my life. Thank you for being one of us Paisano❤ 🇮🇹
"183 degrees" finished me off. Dying! 😂😂😂
That’s why jewelry exists, was a way to ward off the evil eye and distract demons from your soul
most of the italians in my neighborhood had the big plastic red horn with gold crown on the mirror - and an aluminum bat in the trunk.
I’ve rewatched too many times 😂😂😂😂😂
Certified Gold!!!!!
I gave all of your CDs and your book, to my mom for her 94th birthday, and she was thrilled. 💜
I am dying Laughing at these so Funny.
Being Sicilian I can relate to the Vicks lmmfao 🤣😅😂
Went to your show on Friday. So sad it started as late as it did. We have a toddler and the babysitter couldn't stay so we missed that last half of your show. First half was great, hope that 7 year old, Mina, enjoyed it.💔
Malocchio 🤘
😅🤣😂 my dad have those things in he's car's old Sicilian man 😅😂
using vicks and having a way to deal with the evil eye is international lol
I was covered in vicks as well. Yes! Boiling water with vicks -
I love this guy 🥰
I remember well the vicks in hot water and the towel over my head. My parents were Eastern European.
Lolol. He makes me burst out laughing aloud!..and that's rare.
As a kid I thought it was "weird" that other people DIDN'T have a horn hanging from the mirror! 🤣🤦♀️
Please release a full special, new zealand needs to belly laugh more than ever right now 🤣🤣😍😍😍💜❤️
I'm African-American. My brother-in-law's mother was from South Carolina. She used to hang a sock of onions or garlic maybe around her little grandchildren's necks when they came over and had colds. My sister first found out when her 2 yr old daughter came home from a visit smelling and found it when she undressed her. 🤣 She also put coconuts under the beds in her house to ward off evil spirits.🤣
I moved from my house I lived in for 25 years. When I was packing up the bedroom, I found the 4 rocks (Not small ones !) My grandma had me put under the bed for protection against evil while I slept 😃
@@avalerie4467 Good looking out, Grandmas!! Bless their hearts .💔
@@2004mojo 🤗
He is so funny even when he is eating you can tell how much he loves it so much . Even when he is chewing enjoying every bite 😂❤️
i cant say i cant relate, no medication on the house. X)
My grandmother put a little salt in every grandchild’s first car.
What about throwing change or money in your car when you first got it? Not sure if it's specific to a region or if everyone does this stuff 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, I heard it and done this to a new person buying a car
Omg - that’s exactly how I was brought up!! The Greeks have the eye thing too. Don’t forget abt the camphor oil! Lol.
Yep! 100% old-school southern Italian and we had to have the horn and a St. Christopher in our cars. You don't want to get the Mal'och'!
Our folk traditions are sacred!
I'm Sicilian/American, and I remember my mother doing the same thing, with the vicks, and the water and towel, also the potatoes. I to had a horn, but it was gold brought back from Sicily and was told to wear it to protect me from the evil eye....lol what a small world, I use to think my parents were nuts, now I realized that it was tradition...
That’s “bad eye” for Guyanese😂😂😂🇬🇾 1:20
Just saw you in Saratoga, CA at Mountain Winery. GREAT show and hysterical. Thank you!
I'm here because I'm in my 40s and my father just tried to give me a red pepper for the car a few weeks ago. The Vicks and the "Stay!!" is gold.
Sabbi, Sabbi, Sabbi 👏 👏 👏
This never STOP being funny... 🌹 🌹 🌹
One of the funniest 😂 skits ever!
If you are a 70's baby, you got the Vicks joke.
Yes we all have the red pepper 🌶
Yep. Vicks in the winter and Noxema from the fridge in the summer.
This guy is awesome,!
No lie, I did that to my son early morning 1am, rubbed him down with vicks, rubbed alcohol on bottom of feet…put Vick’s on the soles of his feet, threw some socks on him, boiled some water, covered him with a towel, we had some tea with honey, gave him an ice pack,and put him back to sleep and he was right as rain heading out to school early this 7am…I had to try my weird family healing tactics. 🤣🤣🤣
Oh, and add Motrin in this mix
Genius …
I love him. My favorite is when company comes by now verses back in the day. Now days the family does the army crawl🤣🤣🤣
Omg same, my mom is mostly greek, look in my house, blue eyes everywhere
Italians and Romanians have very similar styles. I know all of this too well in my upbringing to immigrant parents
Don't feel badly. My grandmother wouldn't let anyone sweep after dark, lay a hat on the bed, walk through the house with an ax, and some things I can't recall because every one of those things were bad luck. I, too, was covered in Vick's.
Indian here. No sweeping after dark here too. It was bad omen kind a like removing the wealth away.
Woah - I just had a flashback to the no-sweeping-after-dark thing.
@@mytravls My grandmother was part Indian, so maybe that's where she got the notion of no sweeping after dark.
@@atlasking6110 Would you believe I STILL won't sweep after dark. 😃😃😃
My Hungarian grandma would put Vicks in boiling hot water, grab my head and cover with the towel..I nearly suffocated and my eyes stung hahaha 🤣🤣 so funny how immigrant families from all over have so much in common. My upbringing was just like his 🤣🤣
