Verplank: Frum Jewish TV episode

It seems that every time I think a video is amazing everyone disagrees, but this has got to be one of the most entertaining, clean and cute frum videos I’ve seen in a long time, Definitely worth my 13 minutes and plus I know Yoely Stauber and he rocks the boat.

  1. Cute premise. These guys should meet up with the folks who did the “In Over Our Heads” [go to youtube]/user/InOverOurHeads

    I see a trend. Might lead to a really good show — like Srugim, but for the US market.

  2. The characters are pretty good representations of Flatbush, Boro Park, and Lakewood.
    Can’t wait to see if this gets anywhere.

  3. It’s like ‘Modern Family’ just with bad actors, a dull script, and they’re neither modern nor a family

  4. it helped to be in exile because we could always blame our problems on gentiles. But in an isolated Jewish community the animosity and abuse problems being to rise very quickly beyond the normal levels associated with living in a gentile community. This you can see best in Israel in totally Jewish communities like netivot or mostly Jewish like Safed. This is one of the reason that Israel is not working so well. Not because of outside pressure but there are no bonds that bond society together.

  5. The “yeshivish” guy didn’t really seem Lakewood to me. He seemed more like a socially awkward chofetz chaim guy.

    1. yeah the yeshivish guy was more “frummy” than yeshivish
      no payis, bad havarah, english was to clear and no yeshishe shprach.

  6. But the Jews already took over the place before they got there, note the mezuzah on the door of the municipal building

    1. They probably filmed it at a friend’s. Notice the town lady had her hair covered and the town man had a beard and hat.

  7. I believe that this video is ridiculously boring and not funny at all. I am trying to understand what they were trying to do. Do they want to claim that every Jewish culture is unmannered and weird except modern orthodox, because if yes, than well said. However, that’s not true I have seen in every community all three of these characters. It is simply racism and class structure.

  8. It was pretty good, obviously needs work, but excellent for a first effort. They just need to make one of the Flatbush guys a caricature of some sort. Having two normal guys and two caricatures is not the way to do it.

  9. The yeshivish guy looks familiar….looks like a guy I went to Ohr Dovid with some 25 years ago…holy shit!…that many years?..Meir you bum!..why dont u keep in touch?

  10. For all you haters: you are obviously not frum! Mo offense but for someone who doesn’t watch tv shows, this was amazing! “I’m not on hatzola!) hahaha

  11. It was awesome started off a bit boring but I love the characters maybe they need to stick more people into it or have guest on the show

  12. certainly a good premise. the acting could use some work (or maybe just someone directing them a bit more) but mainly needed work on the editing. gear it as a webshow and make it much faster, tighter cuts, and shorter (if this is intended for the internet)
