This is the greatest episode!! Do a Part 2 with Mayim PLEASE!!!!

[@kenbrown438]

I second that emotion !!!! Mazel tov !!!!

[@leonardo899]

I think we are never getting that second episode.

[@DCFunBud]

Mayim Bialik is a superb actor. She really should be doing movies or theater. I think this was the very best episode of YidLife Crisis.

[@missfrances137]

I loved it. Mayim asked the perfect questions and the guys were cute in their own way. I love the way she handled them both.

[@ketanguiano9423]

Mayim Bialik is so funny. It was amazing hear her speak Yiddish :) great video guys!

[@hank1519]

I like her Yiddish accent!

[@rezajafari6395]

hank it’s quite German IMO

[@lingoniGERMAN]

I didn't know Mayim speaks Yiddish, that's so cool. I'm German so I understood most of it. I'm surprised to be honest.

[@jamesmanzano5231]

Learn German with Jenny It’s Learn German with Jenny! I’ve been practicing my German. Is Yiddish German?

[@H.J.Fleischmann]

Sort of. Yiddish is practically speaking an Alemannic dialect, as Alemannisch speakers can talk with Yids and it will be hard to tell them apart based off of language (unless you can pick out the Yiddish words).

[@Lagolop]

@@jamesmanzano5231 It is a Germanic language based on Medieval High German. Linguistically classified as a West Germanic language (same family as Dutch and English)

[@leonamay8776]

@@H.J.Fleischmann I speak Swiss German. Yiddish (especially when not spoken by people who seem to have an origin much further east / more Slavic language influences) is a language I generally understand very well...

[@H.J.Fleischmann]

@@leonamay8776, thank you for backing up what I said.

He said Netflix and Chulent. I laughed. Then Mayim asked if they packed their own bags, and I mamish died.

The comedic dynamics of you three are perfect. It's like you've been performing all your careers together. Hilarious.

[@Yourfriendgaya]

Mayim is amazing! Literally amazing and her Yiddish is so good

[@teiubescBL]

Can0t stop coming here to watch this episode. Mayim Bialik is great!! Who else would love to watch her playing this character in a movie? WILL THERE BE PART 2??? PLEASE!!!

[@IDF1987]

Did someone pack your bags for you? LOL. She could work El Al security.

[@Tendies7645]

That's the joke lololol

[@s.marcus3669]

@@Tendies7645 It was a twofer; the El Al reference that every Jew who has ever flown to Israel knows and the fact that Eli and Lazer are still momma's boys who still allow their mothers to smother them, a classic theme in Jewish jokes.

[@SparkTheGenius]

Yes, that was the joke!

[@sg3936]

‘My mother told me that your mother told her that you’re a neurosurgeon... impressive!’ 😂😂😂

I keep watching this and hope to see the next date...

I can watch this over and over and over and over. I loooove Miyim Bialik

[@thebibleintheschoolsnotthe2641]

Me too!💞

[@verednets]

Me too 😊

[@lottae]

OMG I love this video! So I came here because of Mayim Bialik and I am from Germany. It was so cool to listen to people speaking Yiddish, I mean I didn't know how Yiddish sounds like and as you started to speak I kind of was shocked because I could understand most of the spoken sentences without the translation. Besides that, really funny video! Could you do more with her?

[@Renain-hr8bq]

+iloveyouall It makes sense that you understood most of the words, since Yiddish is a combination of German and Hebrew (the jews spoke yiddish so that the non jewish people would not understand them...).

[@jessab7460]

Yea me too i was so surprised. Its not far away from German :)

[@BrutalistCanoodlist]

+Jessica B, +iloveyouall that is SO COOL that you guys understand the Yiddish scripted dialogue, solely by knowing German!

[@KielBrito]

+iloveyouall I speak German as well and I was thrilled to understand their Yiddish! It sounds really cool.

[@Laivy]

This is a litvish dialect, the Yiddish I speak sounds more like Switzerland German than regular German, it's completely different than how they speak

[@charleslee8313]

I came here from Mayim's site Grok Nation Great video

Factoid: When he arrives, Lazer calls her “Chaya”, which is Mayim’s middle name.

[@weird0strangeone]

Am I the only one who wants a full series of her dating these two dudes, eventually setting them both up with friends of hers, and ending up with the perfect guy for her. They both attempt to crash her wedding but don’t get the guts

I speak German and could understand about 85% of what they were saying! I cracked up with Mayim called her mother too! These two men are like the two brother cousins--found in every culture--who can't be separated!

[@miltonchavez1262]

Sehr Gute! Mayim is a very interesting young woman. Clearly, she is a well educated career women in real life and she is conveying to the audience a harsh reality that many successful career women find themselves in daily: Finding a well educated and successful man for a relationship and/or marriage is very difficult Yiddish or not. The war on boys and men has created a scarcity of well educated and successful men that meet the modern day standards of educated career Western women who feel it is necessary to be a bit picky.

[@AngusTCat]

Hilarious. Thanks Jamie and Eli!

[@kennethtgibson]

[@johnoneill7207]

I'm not Jewish, but I get the jokes. Funny.

[@harrysamtur]

Depending on whether you are a Litvak or a Glitzianer you would pronounce it Chullent or Chillent. So the conjoining of chill and chillent is not a stretch at all. For those not familiar, Yiddish was the primary language of Jews in Russia even though the language is similar to German (except that it has a totally different "personality". ) Jews were not allowed to participate in many aspects of Russian life in the "Pale of Settlement", which had the effect of preserving their culture and language as they kept largely to themselves.
