Sign Language Lessons - A funny joke (ASL Snippets #9)

Sign Language Lessons - A funny joke (ASL Snippets #9)
(Are you a new signer? Start with ASL Snippets #1)
This ASL Snippet is a very simple joke. The punchline (the funny part at the end) is especially funny because it uses a very particular sign. If you don't know the sign, go back and watch the ASL Snippets video playlist to learn signs you that you don't understand. Hope you enjoy the joke!

Footnote:
American Sign Language is a very rich, complex, and unique language. To accurately learn ASL takes commitment and motivation. KZbin is FULL of videos by individuals who make "cutesy" little videos that show random signs and claim to be teaching "sign language." Most of them talk, talk talk, sign, talk, talk, talk, sign.... as a result, they are spreading wrong information about what ASL is and how it is used. Some examples - Melissa Schenk, Ryan Moriarty, Kate Maria, etc. Each of their videos have a lot of views, but for each one of them, the information they are spreading is wrong. And because each one of them gets paid for their videos, not only are they "teaching" a language that they know nothing about, they are also making money at the expense of the Deaf. Is it really that big of a deal? What do you think? A minority culture that is often discriminated against and their language treated like some "cutesy quasi-thing" that's not a "real language."
If you have watched and voted thumbs-up on their videos and subscribed to their channels, you're helping to encourage them to continue to take advantage of the Deaf and to wrongly profit off a language that they are teaching wrong. Please, UNsubscribe from them, vote thumbs-down, and leave a comment to encourage others to look for and support accurate sources. Then, take the time to find accurate videos. Ask the video makers where they learned and if they are qualified to teach.
Take a moment to vote thumbs-up and leave a positive comment on videos made by individuals who truly KNOW sign language. Subscribe to their channel and share their videos with others. Please help to actively spread the accurate use of ASL.
On behalf of the Deaf community and those of us who look to have our language, community and culture get the respect they deserve, I thank you.

i remember when i was in the first year of asl, my teacher told us this joke and we all laughed so hard that we cried. now searching up "asl jokes", and i come across this? brought back so many great memories hahaha

[@ASLwithRob]

Isn't it great to go back and remember things like that? Ha ha. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@beckyproffitt8286]

Saaaame! This was the first ASL joke I was told.

[@VidzMisc]

i got it without even knowing sign language, this has got me intrigued

[@LaTripper]

I've only taken 1 year of asl so far but I understood this joke perfectly! It was so well explained and funny, I actually giggled out loud.

[@vikkipollard6]

He was asking her marry him!! Awesome. I have just started ASL lessons and I find your videos helpful. Thank You!

[@neverstoplearning2]

I have seen this joke before, but never with that particular ending....LOL! Thanks!

[@neverstoplearning2]

Watching this again...four years later...and still surprised by the ending. LOL. Even though I know this joke, you had me laughing so hard...AGAIN!

[@ADORATION_OFFICIAL]

My ASL teacher showed my class this joke. I laughed so hard I could not breathe! Love it!

[@RavenBells]

I was reading a book about linguistics and ASL, and they had transcribed this joke in the book. I read it a few times and didn't know why it was funny.... until I signed it. I laughed SO hard once I got it!

[@Eating_Sunflowers]

I only recently started taking ASL classes but you made the joke so easy to follow along!!! I cracked up at the end, that was hilarious XD

[@mayracarranco4421]

I have been watching your videos for my ASL 1 class since Sept. Aside from taking the class, i have learned ASL through my younger sister who is hard of hearing. Your videos are fun to watch, easy to understand and nicely made. Keep making them so i can continue watching them with my sister.

[@rlee1231]

Wow! I didn't realize how old this video is. My teacher showed it to us in ASL. Very funny.

[@awapala5460]

lol, this is the first ASL joke I've understood without any help! Very funny, Rob! Thanks :-)

[@beckyproffitt8286]

You're very expressive. My mom, who doesn't sign at all, was actually able to understand and retell/resign the joke X) You should do the G-O-L-F one too!

[@nekitaclark6539]

Brahahahahahahahaha!!! My daughters and I are teaching my 13 month old sign language. He's catching on fast! 👍🏽😊 I remember teaching my daughters sign language when they were babies also. We were never fluent, but they learned airplane and the alphabet. With my grandson, we are learning more and it helps him not be so frustrated because he can express himself with ASL. These videos are a tremendous help!🥰🥰🥰

[@hannaht3662]

XD Did not expect that ending! Laughed so loud! Very funny :D

[@MrJuicebox99]
