I had no idea you could do an accurate New Jersey impression without words. Perfection.
I know lol she was spot on - it was like watching my aunts on mute....
Aayyyy, what are you speaking about? Most of us located in Northern New Jersey (myself directly across the Hudson from Manhattan) do acquire the accent thru childhood assimilation. However, we are capable of using words in their correct context and are not exclusively grandchildren of ancestors born in "Itly". Piscopo unequivocally slew New Jersey's representation of its citizens on SNL prior to this skit, "The Sopranos" sealed the coffin.
I'm always amazed by snl actors. You can tell Cecily really worked deaf language to be that credible as a deaf translator.
I agree i think Cecily strong is a deaf translator
*interpreter, and American Sign Language is the language she is using
What? 😂
Deaf language lol
What's "deaf language"?
Cecily and Nasim both killed it maaan...that was fuccin hilarious 😂😂😂😂
If you're really a New Jerseyan, you just about died laughing at, "we don't get mad in Jersey, we get even." I think it should be on the license plates from now on
As a former ASL/English Interpreter, I’ve gotta tellya they both earned it in their first 2 acts! Nevah saw such a NYC beginning interpreter accent so perfectly hit. Not even by actual NYC beginning ASL interpreters in ASL ‘terping classes.
My personal fluidity in New Jersey English keeps me from commenting on that portion.
Why do politicians use ASL interpreters for minor stuff when closed captioning is ubiquitous now? I realize I’m arguing against your job, but it seems like the ASL interpreters are there just to make politicians look more important
@Greg-yu4ij ASL is a separate language that is being interpreted, not just translated literally. A transcript or CC isn't necessarily accurate to the intended message. "Dislike, disagree and hate" have different meanings, an interpreter expresses which applies not necessarily what was said.
@@andiward7068 Ok so that's all the more reason to rely on closed captioning. If you're getting an official statement from the government you should read it in the original language, not some on-the-spot "interpretation" into a "separate language."
One of the best cold openings in snl history
Cecily's so hilarious as the translator!
Have to say, I love that the sign for Romney is a square
one of Cecily's finest hours
"Así que le pido a los hispanos que le tengan paciencia a los blancos". When he starts to talk in spanish is the best part XDDD
+Lucy Lerma It's good that Fred also native speaker of spanish language.
I still laugh at this after so many years!
She’s actually making sense!
And Nasim killed the Italian lady😂😂😂
Totally in awe by how well Cecily makes sense when she’s signing!
This is a riot. Loved both “interpreters”
I just love Cecily
Nasim was so cute and funny as always 👏
This was another SNL classic!!!
ADORE this sketch - always come back to it. 😆 😂 🤣 😝 ❤❤ 👏🏼. Y’all DID it! 🌟 🏆
One of my favorite sketches
Cecily Strong I love you
Cecily is the best😊
This was a very nice skit to watch, for me at least. I enjoyed it. I'm very impressed with how Ms. Cecily and Ms. Nasim portrayed the fun of physical comedy in sign language. It might seem pretty easy to watch but believe me it can be a little hard to pull that kinda funniness off. Atleast for me ! I mean they're probably all naturally funny people...😒😒... Still practice is needed everywhere Im really knowing that now...but still loved the sketch u guys!! And the real good ones sometimes get ignored or misunderstood so don't worry about the likes...🙌🙌😘
You are right! But I think the thing they care the most about is the TV audience, not the Internet one. We are the bonus ;-)
i was skeptical that the ASL would be decently inaccurate (as when hearing people do it, especially actors, it tends to be wrong) but this was really spot on.
Cecily is so cute.
"I'M SIGNIN HERE!!!!"
Solid gold thanks to CZcamss algorithm for brining me here.
Does she really perform real sign language, not the comic bits but those in between, it seems to me genuine
+Jack Davids
yes, Most of it does make sense, and while she substitutes the over-exagurated parts with miming, the rest is more or less comprehensible. though, I believe she signed party at one point instead of people.
It wasn't 100 % ASL, but it was pretty good, I was very impressed! I had no idea she knew some sign language. That woman has my respect.
It's amazing she actually went into study sign language to put into this skit. She was totally underated.
This person mocking ASL is not an ASL Interpreter, its supposed to be funny.
Why is this funny?
"Good Morning (signed backwards and voice said good evening) Now 7 days (voice said 6) we've been impacted by snow
Maybe "Open minded" (meant "dont-know" 2handed supposed to be one handed) power
for me open mind for some ny people next week (gibberish)"
The problem is, it's because of a common myth about this interpreter that worked with the mayor.
The actual interpreter is a Certified Deaf Interpreter NOT an Interpreter for the Deaf.
What that means the interpreter is actually a Deaf individual, he is fed the message by a hearing ASL Interpreter, and he uses a NATIVE Language of Deaf people. You may think he's more animated than the Interpreters you are used to on TV. There is a reason for that. He is interpreting into the language that's visual not auditory. So the person that speaks uses intonation to convey meaning, he interprets that into a visual form.
Imagine you took a foreign language in high school. Your sound production often sounds like that of a four grader at best. When a native person from that country hears you, they would have to do extra work to reinterpret it to be able to understand your attempts to speak their language. (plus you can hear their language - Deaf People cannot) So an Interpreter that studies ASL or any language is often a "bit off", its because they are a second language learner (a term we use against learners of English)
The interpreter that's being made fun of is not just your average Deaf individual, hes studied and trained, and is a Native user of ASL. Means: His family is Deaf too. So this is his first language. He passed the same National stringent test that ASL Interpreters take.
lol so funny. That lady did sign languages almost perfect, thats good. 😊
nasim gives me wiig energy here
I'm sorry, but did Cecily Strong just sign in an NYC accent?
This is gold!!!
Omg Nashim is cute haha
They are amazing
I love this skit 🎃
Classic Jersey
Still funny 😂
She's BRILLIANT! :D
Out of this world
What's with the square sign when he says Romney? lol
Clare Anderson It's a square. Square used to be commonly used slang for someone who's reserved and boring.
Ah, got it. thanks!
Please, make the other videos available for Canada, thanks.
Roxie Fuchinelli is my high school twin
Why doesn't Canada get the rest of theses videos?
🤣🤣🤣
I really miss THIS snl. New stuff is trash, some of these old sketches are comedic gold. The only new one that got me to laugh until my sides hurt was bill burr drinking sam adams in a grocery store😂
Omg so funny
hahahahahaa so FUNNY
Roxia is my crush❤😂
Mitt Romney is a square. Hahahaha!
LOL
Seriously this video should have captions for deaf to enjoy too
Cecily looks so Hot.
Wow, people from New Jersey must be so proud of being constantly portrayed here as mobster talentless guidos...
Why is the "police officer" sign someone shooting a gun
I can’t wait when governor of Florida needs on for Mark T Kreidler this year on Memorial Day weekend he #amazing just call him up #disney #lego
He should be Mr bean's partner
It’s sad that a woman being good at her job is a joke. This is like being an expert at any language or two.
It's not funny . It is a ethical violation.
WTF, entiendo lenguaje de signos mejor que su ingles. I might as well be deaf. Not to mention if you're fluent in more than 3 languages, the chances are you're a fcuked-up person.
Oh My
I don't wanna relate..😢
this feels uncomfortable AF
