CODA BROTHERS: What Deaf people LOVE about Interpreters

CODA Brothers share with you the inside scoop on what Deaf People LOVE about Interpreters!

[@KejutoJetomo]

Oh my god. I'm deaf myself and I use sign language and everything. But seriously the sarcasm is off the charts, I absolutely wish I could meet you guys in person. Brilliant video.

[@16semiquavers]

“If your shirts have handshapes everywhere-go ahead!”

[@camillewilding7548]

I'm absolutely ashamed it took me that long to pick up on the sarcasm... *facepalm The fact that it seemed to take others a while as well makes me feel better though

[@aarontiffany5911]

ASL instructors, make this mandatory viewing for all the pious hearing wanna be interpreters. I'm hearing and in my first year learning ASL and this is stuff we should be learning about! Nicely done and hilarious as hell.

[@TheConnie670]

Lol! i didnt see the sarcasm until you said we can make up our own words. FUNNY

[@cheyenneatkinson4389]

con670 I missed that part the first time I watched it, so it took me until the bill part to realize that everything was sarcastic haha. Then, of course, the aforementioned circumstances made much more sense!

[@TheConnie670]

Cheyenne Atkinson when i realized it was all sarcasm, i replayed the video and enjoyed EVERY minute.

[@Olsonterp]

"Is this sarcasm?" No, it is an absolute truth and you should follow each and everyone one of this tips, EXACTLY as discussed. If you don't you WILL fail as an interpreter. (This comment MAY be dripping with sarcasm, just like most everything else we do!) smile!

[@jordancooper1999]

Until they got to the make up signs part I was just confused thinking that would be so distracting. But duh. Sarcasm is a thing that exist. Lol.

[@Eclecticweirdo]

XD You guys have mastered weapons grade sarcasm! You guys are lethal!

[@lindsayasl336]

Really enjoyed this video. I was skeptical after the first point. I thought...okay...maybe deaf people are sick of terps in all black? But after that I was laughing at the blatant sarcasm. Nice vid.

[@tarynpatro3393]

I was the same way. i am slooooooooooooooow to catch sarcasm. and just started my interp program so i don't know much. but then i was ROLLING on the floor laughing! (well not really i stayed in my chair) but i WAS cracking up!!!

[@thinnmarmoody]

I didn't get the sarcasm until half way through the video. Well, duh?

[@bearwarner4994]

+Joanna Thinn Mar Thanks. I thought I was the only one. Hehe.

[@myozbubble]

+Joanna Thinn Mar Same here. I can hear and have no idea about the hearing impaired community. What if I thought they were serious?! I'd make an ass out of myself. Boo!!!

[@myozbubble]

Thank you. I don't want to be mean to anyone. :)

[@emptyness2993]

Hey I am in school to be an interpreter myself, I actually found this quite enlightening. Some say this is rude, but its only sarcasm. How many of us have used sarcasm to deal with our feelings? Let us not be hypocritical. I personally love sarcasm! :) Its easier to laugh than be angry and this way I totally understand how it must feel to be Deaf. I don't take offense, I laugh at mistakes and I will try to do better. Thanks for telling me!

[@Altered-By-Christ]

Ha ha you guys crack me up... So sarcastic!! But I love it. Next time I have a Dr. Apt for a paper smear I'll ask my interpreter if she would like to take over

[@foxxxy1115]

Wow I thought this was all serious at first with the clothes, I didn't catch the sarcasm at first. Nicely done.

[@shannonjackson464]

the sarcasm is so awesom here. my wife lost her hearing at 3. she's 31 now and a mom & this video made her day. lol.

[@JulieanneMalamon]

Thank you for posting this! Your sarcasm made some good points. BTW...You guys are so funny!

[@oliviaguardiola9887]

Loved it ! Respect for your consumers... I didn't understand at first but when I caught on to the sarcasm I couldn't stop laughing ! This was great !

[@vanessabishop1328]

I love these guys! Same with me on the not getting the sarcasm until about half way through. Then I couldn't help but laugh the rest of the way.

[@TheSkyeGiese]

I LOVE U GUYS! u are so passionate and u just inspire me to no end!

[@soggydiamond]

You totally made my night! So very funny! Thank you! YOu guys are so cute and thanks for having the voice over so I could really understand everything Im a mere beginner. Im gonna send this link to my friend whos a professional signer CODA

[@brownmullins]

[@michaelottinger]

Oh my gosh, I just peed! You guys are hilarious! "Can I help you walk to your car?" That totally just earned a subscription. Keep up the good work.

[@debbielindsey7222]

OMG I never laughed so hard in my life... Thanks guys u really are making me second guess my passion for learning sign and wanting to be an interpreter.

[@mark5617]

[@MrsLittleBitz]

Lmao...This was too funny!!! I'm not deaf/coda/hearing impaired but I fully appreciate the humor in this. The sarcasm is hystarical not only in your signs but also in the verbal banter. After seeing this, I HAVE to subscribe!!

[@NPCSN]

I first learned asl in high school to talk to a girl this just brought me back there. Thank you so much! She was the most sarcastic person I’d ever met. I was crying-laughing the entire freaking time. Dear god! 🤣😂 thanks again for this!

[@sierraperez4489]

I loved this video so much! All of it is true because I have experienced it myself as I go though high school! Keep it up!

[@brittanysterkenburg5875]

We watched this video today in my Deaf Culture class - these guys are freaking hilarious lol

[@SmegBLARR]

You sarcasm is so spot on I thought you were being serious until half way through the video.

[@skyadriana5419]

Oh, this was so wonderful, honest and unexpected. Thank you guys :)

[@annedg]

Oh man, I'm also an interpreting student and I think that this video just made my decade. Love it! Will def take this all to heart! ;)

[@kayleesnyder381]

You guys are really funny!

[@TXdeedee66]

ok, I LOVE this video. I am a hearing person who is in school to be an Interpreter and if anybody took this seriously, you have no clue. This was humor! Thank you both and keep up the videos! You got me in trouble in the library at school today cause I was laughing out loud!

[@laurenfox17]

[@TheFemininePrincess]

[@danawinright3351]

I think I must share this with my class. Hahaha!

[@taylortaylor5631]

I am currently in school to become an interpreter and the first thing you guys mentioned I was literally sitting here watching with the most confused look on my face scratching my head like 😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️ well done! Great video

[@MzThai93]

I love this video :-) thanks for being honest!!

[@SarahLucas37916]

Y'all got me so excited there for a minute! Making me think I could wear my plaid shirts....

[@stephenboyd5995]

Hilarious you have certainly put a lot of work into this video and since the Mandela memorial incident you are going to get many more views. All the best

[@meagan724]

I'm so sending this to my teacher XD this is great

[@mickeyb4441]

OMG I luv U GUYS!!

[@brianac8764]

you guys are amazing

[@Core4ever10]

LOL! I love this VLOG - it spelled out almost everything I experienced in College. I had a NEWBIE interpreter in a Spanish Culture class where every other word was spanish and also in medical anthropology - so she not only had to learn how to "sign" , she had to learn how to create sign language to fit the scenario so I was there teaching her to sign - being very polite and praying really hard she "gets it" . She did get it after a month and was a pro but it was a struggle for both of us.

[@vikingscool]

Right on! I was almost same way, because I was in loving of the ASL interpreters.

[@signwaveri]

Solids are best, especially when there is distance involved, like across a classroom, or in front of an audience. Dark colors tend to be best for most, but the key is to have a good contrast for your hands. Most people can wear dark blues like navy or a deep royal and look great. Dark pine green can be flattering on the right person. One interpreter I worked with used to wear beautiful dresses in a deep shade of purple like a dark wine, or green like night in a forest. Looked great on her.

[@chriscory2049]

You guys are Hilarious!

[@justkat515]

This is hysterical! I'm so grateful that I've never met any interpreters that do these things. Eating your sandwich while signing one-handed?! Gosh-I hope that you don't actually know someone who had to put up with that.

[@FungiJelly]

officially a fan

[@lavadava69]

Wow. I have used the hand kiss sign even recently because I learned it from the interpreter who taught me sign. As a newly hard of hearing I want to communicate correctly. You guys are funny!

[@cdbicdb]

i loved the color black thing...in my church, black is the order for the interpretors and camera crew...too funny and the bill part... loved that too

[@rdr6yz]

I am studying ASL and hope to get in to the interpreter program. . I have been floored this year at some of the jaw dropping and horrifying behaviors from speaking people who do not take the time to understand and RESPECT deaf culture. I have also met some amazing and wonderful deaf people who have the patience and self restraint of a saint. . Since common sense seems to be an oxymoron to most.. thank you for this. I laughed til tears came pouring . Be the change you wish to see in the world.

[@LoveTeamJaceWayland]

Haha. I have a deaf best friend and I wanna be an interpreter when I'm older, and I absolutely loved this video! haha. Thanks for the lesson!

[@deannamorgan8009]

I thought this was legitimate at first and got so excited... You guys!!! XD black shirts it is.

[@PamIrish]

One at a time, please. I enjoy your funny stories. \lml

[@tiffanythill]

DUDE!!! Sooooooooo Funny!!!! LOL

[@lngwstx]

OMG hahahahaha I will try to incorporate some of your suggestions into my work. I do VRS. They'll never even know. :-D Thanks, guys!

[@candacebarrage]

Well this video makes me never want to become a interpreter, I'm in ASL 1 in college and I have been trying really hard to learn this language, in hopes to maybe become an interpreter of sorts. Maybe it's my lack of confidence in this language since I'm only a beginner and don't know much, but I might rethink that plan; the last thing I want to do is be ridiculed for trying to widen my knowledge in another language. I don't know, this post just made me really doubt myself. so thanks lol

[@oliviaguardiola9887]

+Candace Barrage Do not let this video keep you from becoming an interpreter... these guys are just being themselves. I'm an interpreting major, I'll be taking Interpreting 3 here in San Antonio. They have to be sarcastic to prove a point. You learn all these thing while going through an Interpreting Training Program and yet there are still interpreters out there that 1. don't follow CPC, 2. wear what ever they want and 3. just dont care... we must have respect for our consumers and that's basically what this video boils down to for me personally. The whole "kiss fist" topic, i have to also agree with... there are some signs that deaf people prefer that hearing people dont use and we just have to respect it because it is their language and their culture. I was a offended at fist but then found myself laughing because everything they are talking about is true and funny even though they are being sarcastic. Just take their advice and don't do any of the things your not supposed to. I hope this helps you ! Keep up the hard work, it WILL pay off :)

[@amymec]

+Candace Barrage If you plan to do any of the things they "suggest" in the video, then you probably shouldn't be an interpreter. Why would their mocking things terrible interpreters do make you not want to be come a good interpreter? I don't get it.

[@gertierox]

omg i love it...i can totally relate...that is why i "love" interpreters! LOL

[@22Di44]

Yep! I'm in an interpreting program and I just laugh at this video. These guys are awesome!

[@BW-CC]

This is so weird..the deeper I get into learning, the more I find that there is just as much animosity in the deaf world.

[@winnerACE1109]

Hahahhaha u guys are so funny! xD

[@girloffaith16]

LOL thanks for the info..I took really detailed notes and am keeping them forever and ever....jk :P Great vid! Sarcasm at its best!

[@HohkehVlogs411]

LMAO! you guys are funny. :)

[@veganmochi]

Pretty funny! I'm an interpreter as well, and have had experiences working w/ peers who were... shall I say, 'flexible' in their dealings w/ both hearing AND Deaf clients. Wowza.

[@comeINcloser79]

OMG!!! This needs to be shown in every intro to interp class. HAHAHAHA

[@vikingscool]

Haha! Best ASL vlog about this is best awesome ASL on youtube! Also, you are lucky that you have a wonderful brother. I wish. I have sister but she is not Deaf. :(

[@SuperSharain]

Wow! you got me! I actually thought from the title we interpreters would not be made fun of; but since we are on that level, let me add some sarcasm of my own: of course this is for the deaf community on what we love about YOU: when you sign up for a PHD class but you dont have a high school diploma and still cant pass English 101. when you dont study for a test, fail, and then blame the interpreter. When you drop out of a class because you cant write a simple 20 page term paper

[@adammorataya9086]

Smart Asses. I loved it! = )

[@brendasmith2147]

love this I speak sarcasm fluently !!!

[@NashU235]

hahahhaah At the first couple of points I was like "Oh ok...I guess" Half way through -.- nope.....totally the opposite lol

[@lenawells4957]

This is cool because I am teaching myself to be an interpreter

[@H3rmalyn3]

As a hard of hearing interpreter, I find it to be very difficult when interpreting with with bright colors on. Because I see that certain deaf/hard of hearing folks lose focus depending on the color that the interpreter is wearing. Also many deaf/hard of hearing of hearing that I've come across feel as if hearing people are trying to take over their lives and language. But thank you so much CODA brothers for the information, I shall cherish this information.
