Sometimes I am amazed at my own power

The following video has probably been seen by much of the frum world, someone tagged me in it last week and I shared it on my wall, the video was made by a girl who was not facebook friends with me and probably had no idea that anyone besides her limited amount of friends were watching it.

Most people, especially young frum girls, don’t really fool around with their Facebook privacy controls much. So I asked her if she could post it on you tube and she said she wasn’t so sure because it would make it hard for her to find a shidduch, during our email exchange, within 2 hours of posting it on my wall, I started receiving messages, emails and tweets for me to check out this facebook video. By the time it was posted on you tube, I’m sure that half the frum facebook world had already seen it, since her shidduch chances are probably already shot, she gave me permission to post it.

I am always surprised, when something that I post comes back to me, but still – there are probably some of you who aren’t on Facebook (I tend to get more comments on FB posts than on here – last week one update got 100 comments while the post here received 123) Anyway, I still like the video and maybe you will too.

  1. That was funny. Well, Hesh, since you’ve destroyed this poor girl’s chances of ever getting a shidduch, I think you really have to marry her. It’s the right thing to do. Power has its price.

  2. I’m writing from Israel and I have never been in Brooklyn, hardly in the US.
    So I was very surprise by this girl accent. Doesn’t she speaks like blake mammas from the ghetto, like in those movies I saw? Or is it really the froum accent in NYC?

    1. Considering she mentions her “shift at burger king” I’m pretty positive it’s a joke and she’s trying to imitate the black women that usually show up in interviews in news reports that are exactly like she’s acting. It’s pretty funny.

  3. A Jew named Shanicotine? Interesting.

    I think y’all are missing the joke. She’s not frum, just wearing a frummy shirt.

    1. No, you’re missing the joke! Her name’s not Shanicotine. Nobody’s name is Shanicotine! It’s a satire of the African-American names you hear in big cities so often, as is her accent and word choice throughout the video. It’s a spoof. An extremely good one.

  4. Maybe you you have to be from the right hood ,ya’ll because this Baltimore girl is pishing her pants laughing right now, this was too funny.

  5. Chilul Hashem – Same disgrace as the shietle video from People’s Court. I wish people would think before posting “satire” on Facebook.

    1. HOW is this chillul HaShem? HOW does this in any way relate to the sheitle couple from People’s Court? This girl isn’t trying to rip anyone off. She’s doing a funny satire, and making (what she had originally intended to be only for her friends, but got blown out of proportion thanks to Heshy and his “power”) people laugh. I’m pretty sure HaShem likes laughter. I’m pretty sure it’s a good thing.

    1. THAT was amazing! I don’t know why, but somehow I find it funnier when someone is NOT trying to be funny. . . .

      HOW does a person forget how many kids they have???? I mean, my rabbi has 7 kids, but somehow, I doubt he’d ever have to think about it!

        1. Very true (and how did you know?). But still, even if he had them with 7 different women, they’re still all his kids. Doesn’t explain how he could not know that number as well as he knows his name!

  6. I feel bad for any community where a sassy, beautiful and funny-as-hell gal like this can’t find a shidduch. Seriously! This was awesome.

  7. ha ha!! she IS jewish cuz i know her. btw she only posted it on her own facebook wall and someone reposted it to utube….. Heshy- it seems like your soulmate is here.

  8. Man you really did out do your self in assholness! If this girl didn’t give you permission to post this then i really hope you burn in hell and this world as well.

  9. That fake accent is almost perfect. Can you imagine being married to someone that actually sounded like that?

    1. yo bratha, what you mean she can’t find no shidduk. I’ll marry her, I’ll tap dat booty like there no to morrow.

    1. Yeah Phil, doin great?(as long as that disability check don’t bounce were all good.Obamah should go for anouther term) No offense, but isn’t your assumption that I like fried chicken, just because I ‘m black, stereotyping?

      1. Soul Bratha,

        I was just paraphrasing one of your icons, namely Run DMC. Not sure how old you are, do these lyrics ring a bell?

        “(One) day when I was chillin’ in Kentucky Fried Chicken
        Just mindin’ my business, eatin’ food and finger lickin'”…

  10. i just have to say one more thing because i just watched it again. I am amazed by the accuracy, the eyes, the gestures, everything,i almost fell off my chair at the have a blessed day, or the name how does one spell Shanicotine, a Sha with a little nicotine mixed in?

  11. Ok, so her name is Deena and she’s from Cleveland and she’s seriously awesome. She’s a good friend of mine. She’s hysterical, you guys have no clue. She’s seriously the funniest person I know plus she’s gorgeous, dresses really well, AND is smart. If she can’t find a shidduch, no one can.

    1. Where in Cleveland? If she is from Cleveland Heights, that would explain how she managed to nail the accent and mannerisms perfectly, since Taylor Road is a rather ghetto-licious area.

  12. I didnt watch the video till now, thought it was really dumb by the look of it but its great!! Thanks for posting! I hope she gets lots of good publicity because of it. The only thing missing was a curse word or do (bleep).

  13. This is reprehensible. As I commented on the video: This is a huge chillul H@shem. If you want to be a jack@ss, that’s your right, but don’t be doing that with a little kid with a kippa on in the background. You make all of am yisrael look like racists, and that’s simply not true.

    Since when is putting on blackface and making fun of African-Americans okay? It’s not. Dressing up like any ethnicity and/making fun of them isn’t okay. People need to learn to think. It appalls me that there are Jews that don’t understand this concept.

    1. African Americans? You still buy that crap? Have you ever met any Africans? They are articulate, intelligent, and upstanding respectful people. The ones you call African Americans are worse than the Africans who still inhabit the jungles and practice female genital mutilation. Don’t confuse the subhuman mudpeople who live in the USA with Africans.
      And while we’re on the subject, what’s your reaction when you see 3 white guys walking towards you? A lot different than when you see 3 black guys with hoodies and their pants around their knees. Give me a break.

  14. Maybe the nignogs will see it and realize how uncivilized and savage they look to the rest of the world and quit acting like they just crawled out of the Congo.

  15. Comedians make fun of other races all the time. Ever see Richard Pryor making fun of white people? Or Eddie Murphy making fun of Italians? Or Dice making fun of blacks? Or Don Rickles making fun of Asians?

    As for the African American bullsh*t, it’s the stupidest term they’ve come up with for black people over the last 100 years. What do you call a white American from Africa (such as my wife)? What about a black Canadian?

    Why is it that any time anyone cracks a joke about someone that’s different, they are considered bigotted or racist?

    When I think of racists, I think of violent groups that attack other people based on ethnicity or religion, not people that are doing so in good humor.

    1. You make a good point Phil. Just the other day a white boy wanted me to give heim some basketball lesson. I says lizen up white boy: you have made an inherint assumption that I is good at basketball cause I is a nigga,right?

      He look at at me all dumbfounded.

      I say: I is a disabled vetarin wit a trick knee, I couldn’t teach you basketball if you paid me.But one thing I could teach you, never make prior assumptions about anyone based on what you is brainwashed in school and the media or pop culture.

  16. Can we start telling “racist” jokes now or do we need a new thread for that? Cuz I gots lotsa dat shyt, boss.

    1. Nate,

      You can try, but from past experience, you’ll probably get some PMSing women go Al Sharpton on you @ss 🙂

  17. a girl who speaks her mind ? Whats wrong with that?? could someone explain why that would ruin her shudich chances? I think thats insane!

  18. I know this girl she is a close friend of mine.
    it is a fake accent, that is her real hair, she could use a great shidduch
    she has a great personality (Hesh whoever you are!!) it was for a joke and i thought it was funny!!
