It would be more simpler to make them Mennonites instead, as they similar but have more ties to the modern world.

[@fourcatsandagarden]

@@LakinMae5 but no one knows who the mennonites are, so it wouldn't have been as profitable. the amish are famous, the mennonites are something you only know about if you've lived near them and met them in your local pondarosa while growing up.

[@ocdmusic]

Rumspringa has a lot to answer for 😂

[@lisahoshowsky4251]

⁠@@fourcatsandagardenit depends on where you’re from, I wouldn’t call the Amish “famous” unless you’re referring to the reality show from TLC making them better known mainstream, and it’s definitely hyperbole to say “no one” knows who the mennonites are. Just over an hour outside Toronto, Ontario you hit farm country and a huge chunk of farms and businesses are all Mennonite run and their cooking and baking is legendary. There’s also new order mennonites who literally just seem like any other person you know and I’ve had friends, neighbours, professors, and colleagues who are Mennonite. The group you’re more familiar with definitely depends on where you were raised. In Canada the Mennonites are common and well known, they range from old order horse and buggy no electricity types to living very “normal” modern lives, and they personally gave me context for the Amish instead of the other way around.

[@lukaj679]

Unfortunately, with the results of Wisconsin V. Yoder case, Amish children are actually limited in their rights to get a proper education and Amish schools do not need to employ accredited teachers. Its extremely common to have an 8th grade educated young adult teaching a school house of children from Amish made (and censored) school books. I wish I was being hyperbolic :(

[@cyanidesmile7263]

What I find hilarious is that the writers knew that some amish communities are allowed to use some modern "outside world" items like generators (or maybe they didnt and just had this to make the stoey work) but not enough to know that if you leave the faith you're never allowed back and you're shunned from the entire community, including by your family. (It's a cult, btw)

[@bluestar4408]

I know my grandparents used to have an amish family around their homes. They only used technology on their farm. I think it has to do with the good for community thing that some Amish communities have.

[@rorolilred]

I read an autobiography by an ex-Amish woman and she did go back for her sister's wedding, so I'm guessing it depends on the specific sect. In her case though most people were very weird towards her when she went back, they didn't welcome her with open arms or talk to her about her new life or anything.

[@knitwitchpgh]

1:35 WAIT did hallmark just completely ignore the fact that the amish dont talk to ex Amish family members. How embarrassing to make a whole movie around the Amish and doing zero research other than hearing they dress like pilgrims and dont use electricity. 😵‍💫 this is gonna be good 😂😂😂

[@erinaa9486]

There's an ex-amish KZbinr who still talks to her family, she's mentioned talking to her mom, although they keep her seat from the rest of her family. So I think they have lots of different sects and ways of dealing with ppl who leave

[@mammajamma4397]

My VERY FIRST thought!!!

[@HollhouseVanHouten]

⁠@@erinaa9486that’s super interesting! I was under the impression the Amish were highly patriarchal, idk if I worded that correctly, I mean that the women in are second class to the men, so if the father doesn’t have contact w a family member who left the community the rest of the family wouldn’t be allowed to have contact w them. Nice to know my assumptions may be wrong, or in the very least my assumptions are based on older Amish traditions that are being phased out by particular sects of the Amish community.

on one hand I find the romanticization of the amish astounding, cos I grew up near amish country and it is not romantic at all, but then I remember the whole 'tradwife' thing that's popular in conservative circles right now and it makes perfect sense. "women WANT to be pregnant and spending their days washing dirty clothes and cooking and cleaning house! that's what they find romantic!" (meanwhile the tradwives are starting to find out no, it sucks actually, and they're miserable, and while I do feel bad for them I also feel very 'we told you so, but you had to learn the hard way now here you are' about it too)

Ive worked with a few former amish draft horses and they're some of the sweetest ones ive known. Which makes my opinions on the amish community less charitable after learning how they treat their animals as just tools and how controlling they are of their members. Like others said, if you leave you cant come back, youre shunned from everyone you ever knew. No matter how quaint or wholesome they present themselves, they're as culty as any other high-control religious group

[@goodhumourman]

LOLLL yeah when it showed the ex-Amish girl just casually visiting the community… no girl you would be shunned!! If anyone could just leave the community and then come back and visit whenever they wanted, everyone would just do that since their way of life is so strict and harsh.

[@dylnpickl846]

This was bizarre to watch. I come from a less severe, non-colony, but similarly restrictive religious community, and after rejecting the faith and embracing "the secular" my relationships shattered, even without intentional shunning. My cousin married someone of another faith and actually was intentionally shunned by a lot of folks. Media romanticising religious extremists is so awkward. 😅😅

This was my first thought too!! From what I understand, when you leave, you are OUT forever. Sad.

[@fourcatsandagarden]

@@dylnpickl846 It makes more sense when you realize it's conservative tradwife propaganda, and they're using the Amish as a stand in for that since they know if they portrayed something people are more familiar with the movie would completely fail at being propaganda.

I remember earlier this year I went into a weird rabbit hole of the Amish community and watched a documentary about people trying to transition from being Amish. In reality it’s very religious and cult-like. A person is pretty much shunned and never allowed to return if they leave the community because they’re winning/not following the path of god

[@petrify4814]

I once met an Amish guy on Rumspringa. He asked me if I knew where to get cocaine because that was the last thing on his list of things to try before he went back home. The Amish experience is...strangely varied.

[@cam4636]

I mean...yeah, literally shunned, that's where the word "shun" comes from. From their perspective leaving the Amish lifestyle but trying to talk to your family is the same as a father "leaving for cigarettes" and then showing up twenty years later trying to be friends again; that person threw away their whole community and everything they stand for in order to live like a normie. Following the Amish way of life _is_ worship for them, refusing to follow is the same as quitting the religion; the Amish are a religion and their religious practice is "living Amish." This comment really rubbed me the wrong way; the problems in the Amish community are things like abuse and corruption, not "being religious in a way that doesn't appeal to someone who's not part of their religion."

[@606Jelly]

@@cam4636you are justifying controlling cult-behaviours the same way most people try to justify them: “you just don’t like them because they’re different” but if you talked to former cult members you’d know all cult behaviours revolve around control of the members and the extent they are enforced is extremely dangerous.

He's the closest I've ever experienced to meeting a real life Disney prince, and he deserves to be bigger than he is (and also be in better things). I never saw him drink out of a mug, so I cannot make a comment on whether or not he forgot how to drink, but I'm pretty sure he was trying to do a "oh its so warm and I'm so cold" thing but it looked stupid because A.

They could have easy made the family Mennonite and literally dealt with thr myriad of issues surrounding the breaking of Amish traditions/practices/etc while still keeping the vibe. Mennonites are allowed to have access to electricity/take photos and, as far as I'm aware but could be wrong, don't take the avt of Shunning as harshly as the Amish do. Additionally the Amish can habe their food photographed but nothing that copy/replicates faces as only God can create a face (which is why they dont have toys with faces). Pies dont tend to have faces

[@dylnpickl846]

I come from a Mennonite community and while much of what you said is correct, going against the family by rejecting the faith, choosing the "wrong" career, or developing "worldly" opinions (among other percieved slights) still risk shunning or other forms of social discipline. Most Mennonites I know live in small towns, in regular houses, employed at local businesses, and retain their cultural distinctiveness primarily through maintaining extremist religious beliefs. So many Mennonites look like everyone else, but are still willing to shun members of their own community for religious reasons.

I'm aware of this. However, the Canadian Mennonite communities I come from and the vast majority of those in my local areas are as conservative, restrictive, and extremist as I've described.

Keeping fruits fresh with lemon juice or vinegar is actually a thing, though, you just rinse the extra off. For example, to keep apple slices from oxidizing and turning brown, a little lemon juice soak (and then thoroughly rinsing after the soak) is perfect, and you shouldn't taste the lemon at all. :) Also if you want to make buttermilk items, like buttermilk biscuits, but don't want to keep buttermilk on hand, a little vinegar in whole or 2% milk will do the trick.

What’s difficult when it comes to Amish rules is that each group is different. It depends on what the group elders decide. So some are fine with cell phones for working and leaving them in the barn or turned off and never used in their home. Some are cool with generators in the home. Some are fine with some colors and patterns for women’s dresses. It all just depends. Which basically means some Amish are more ok with photographs than others. The very strict groups (like Swartzentruber Amish) are probably stricter about photographs.

I will never understand people’s obsession with the Amish. They aren’t that interesting. Really. They will hold up traffic and won’t talk to you unless they wanna sell you something, that’s all you need to know folks.

20:05 Dear god this portion is a poetic, upsetting masterpiece of verbiage

[@ltwheeze]

Banana witchcraft 😂 The making of the pie at the beginning was on my fyp because it looks like no one on set had ever seen a pie being made… the crust doesn’t cover the entire pan and the lattice is just laid flat with no weaving 😂

[@chloebourgeois3271]

I don’t care if it’s after Christmas new Nick content is always welcomed

[@pierrethibodeaux4408]

glad you could join the zoom call this christmas, nick

[@SciFiMorgan]

LOVE the shot of Nick saying they're all incredible bakers over top the image of them putting lattice crust over what is clearly just cherry filling in a pie dish with no bottom crust at all. Pinnacle film making hallmark.

[@shannonceleste5557]

Haven't started the vid yet but these wacky clip breakdowns are my absolute FAVORITES!!! 😍 love! Hope everyone is well 🐕💜

[@SanjaSleipnir]

Omg the beard? The camera set up? You look like a model in this video, I’m speechless. You are so gorgeous, nick

[@lastcarhome]

These Christmas movies being pumped out with the same story lines but middle aged moms just eat them up.

[@alyzu4755]

As a middle-aged mom I'm embarrassed for and by my peers.

[@acemyname]

perfect video to watch while i eat my pizza, thank you nick 😌

[@bentaylor-cv4ox]

I absolutely love your videos! It’s so funny cause this isn’t my usual type of show but you are HILARIOUS! I love your thoughts, humor and views. Please keep making videos!

[@emijliastarovic8524]

My parents also live in Undisclosed Location! What a coincidence. It sure is beautiful this time of year

[@NickDiRamioTV]

omg i bet we've seen each other at the unidentified farmers market!!!

[@BreezeDaDon]

"chris" 🤣😂 and u could legit hear the hollowness in that mugg. And loved your remake of the Christmas song lmao

[@ameeeelia]

i feel like the words “amish” and “movie” should have cancelled each other out long before the movie was released 🤨

[@shayneelizabeth358]

Another hilarious video!!!

[@amazingcas]

I'm from PA here and I also work in the library. You would not believe the amount of amish romance we have.

[@NickDiRamioTV]

omg i read about this! some call them "bonnet rippers" because its like illicit affairs without any actual intimate contact

[@the_erin_zone]

Okayyy nick loving this lighting looking INCREDIBLE!!!!!

[@riaglitta]

how are there no comments about the crazy show that is that pie in the opening lol

[@pintxsized]

Nick, your hair looks fabulous!

[@EmberAwoken]

I’m from rural PA and this doesn’t seem right 😂

[@wanderingspark]

5:00 6:03 We're supposed to believe the sister has amazing, publishing company-saving level baking knowledge when she can't even role out a pie crust properly?

[@ProbablyCathy]

"Elizabeth Longsleeves" just made me spit out my coffee. I had to pause. 🤣🤣🤣

[@kdholden]

You are glowing up big time Nick!

[@cnashford2]

This video was automatically playing and I saw Nick out the corner of my eye (while also watching another show on my tv). Why did I think he was a lightskin brotha? 😅😅😅

[@widowsiren8694]

"posted one minute ago" getting in on the ground floor let's gooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

[@eileenhatton5240]

Loved your song at the end. It came from the heart.

[@aoifestorm7264]

You are hilarious this was a lot of fun to watch!! Thank you for the PSA

[@markiej211]

Nick with a beard is the Christmas gift we didn’t know we needed. It’s giving zaddy 😍😍😍

[@louhortonsculpture]

“Wonky honky” and then the music plays and yep, that’s the only way to describe that sound!

[@LisaLee__]

Your parents hone looks so cozy! Omg thats sweet, I hope you're enjoying each other

[@leeevans302]

Amish mfs make good food tho ngl. One time me and my friend came across this Amish store (which I didn’t even realize was Amish until we walked in lmfaoo we just needed snacks on a road trip) and they had all these home made candies and chips and stuff that were so good. And this cheese that was chefs kiss. They are more modern than I thought too they had electricity in the store and everything it was just like a normal store except everyone that worked there was Amish and dressed Amish.

[@lisahopkins9117]

Please help rescue dogs from the puppy mills that are commonly run in these areas. Animals are sadly often neglected very badly in Amish communities.

[@fightvale57]

[@angelical5386]
