  1. @teenuhcolada Agreed. I’m not fluent in Sign, but to anyone who atleast knows the ABCs and a hand full of words, it’s pretty obvious it’s a joke. Not to mention his expressions and posture is a dead give away. I had to laugh though because he did make some accurate signs (mostly wrong usage).

    People should lighten up. It’s a comedians job to make light of things for a laugh. I highly doubt this guy has anything against ASL/deaf people.

  2. i agree but i hit the wrong button on accident! that wasent funny at all, it was acuially insulting!

  3. People you need to chill. No, it’s not ASL but he was just using gestures to make the song more interesting. It was funny, obviously he knows he isn’t using ASL and he wasn’t being serious. As the person a few above me said, many people can understand this way & these “pictures” are used in ASL to help people understand.

  4. hahaha i love this!
    his arm movements seem so fluent and funny at the same time

  5. ur sign language is more show “picture” than asl sign langauge??? I know any world will understand you clear because of “picture” sometimes I do that to hearing people make them understand it.

  6. This is not sign language..it IS FANTASTIC Comedy mime. FANTASTIC..but NOT sign language. This has been a fave clip of mine for years..try to get the version where he is joined in the mime by Natalie Imbruglia herself..brilliant (but not sign language lol)

  7. Great expressive body language. But now a new companion language to ASL is just born … StenoMotion, ready for you to coimplement it.
