Improv Comedy in Jerusalem, for your viewing pleasure
Wonder if the Improv troop actually performed at the Merkaz Hamagshimim on Dec. 5 during Hanukah or whether it was a bogus plug. Well you need not wonder any longer.
For those of you who missed out, they fortunately film their shows for all their die-hard fans and we have asked to have the honor of linking the show clips to our blog!
After fighting about copyright, residuals and if they are even that funny- we have managed to gain access to the clips for our 10 readers.
The clips are divided into games and run about 4 to 6 minutes long. Watch them for a good time and check out live Improv at a Jerusalem near you! Continue »
New Chanukah video [funny]
As promised, a funny video for each holiday! For those of you searching for a funny Chanukah video, here’s Light My Candles a Hanukah Parody of “Rent” The Musical made by the big felafel’s very own Molly.
So you think you know Hebrew, watch this
After ulpan, the real Hebrew proficiency exam should entail watching funny TV shows like Hayisraelim and Ktzarim and seeing if you laugh at all the right places. No scantrons. No multiple choice. Just laughs. You can practice for this non-existent exam by checking out the Reshet Video Machine. This all-powerful video machine has many many Hebrew TV shows to choose from and loads incredibly fast. The best part - if you don’t get the jokes the first time around, you can watch an episode over and over and over again, and no one will know.
A little explanation about HaYisraelim. The show is composed of 5 or 6 skits that appear in every episode, but with a new twist. My favorite ones are the skits with the prime minister, the arsim in the mall, the worker who talks trash about her coworkers, the felafel stand, the couple with the baby, and the psychologist. The show has 3 main guys who play a variety of roles. I like to figure out which one is which character, but they are so good it’s hard to keep track.
If you come across more funny shows on the video machine, please share.
(Thanks Miriam for telling me about the site)
All purpose Shabbat Elevator
Thanks to Life in Israel for making me crack up… I think this video clip is from the Israeli TV show, Ktzarim (shorts.. as in short skits, not the short pants). Unfortunately, the quality is not so great.
Awesome Sukkot Video
Here’s another one of Molly’s awesome and funny videos, “Sukkot Shake”. Happy Sukkot and enjoy the video!
The light rail delayed, new form of transportation takes off
Here’s a shocker - the light rail has been delayed yet again and will be completed by the year two thousand and never. So, while we sit around and wait for an update, there’s a new mode of transportation gaining popularity - the sneaker. Here’s a preview of this new technologically advanced system that I filmed last night, first-hand, from Ben Yehuda St.
Funny Yom Kippur video, is that allowed?
Yom, Yam, Yum, whatever.
The Internet is snapping in two, my brain soon to follow
My life is starting to occur somewhere between the virtual world of blogs, emails, and Facebook and the real in-the-flesh world of cooking, taking care of my cats, and learning Illustrator. And it’s makin me a little cuckoo. I’m not the only one, either. And while my social skills may be plummeting, at least my knowledge of web2.0 and social media is accelerating at a rate I can hardly keep up with. I wish I could do a survey - what percentage of people even know about web2.0. Does my mom? Does yours? Does it matter? Continue »
Hold up, Everybody Stop. YouTube is a college course
I wonder if Misrad HaStudentim would pay for you to get a degree in YouTube. Probably not, but Pitzer college in California is offering a course called “Learning from YouTube“. Is it me or has the world gone crrrazy. I mean, theater appreciation was one thing, even Yiddish was acceptable, but YouTube? Although I graduated from college, I am tempted to start all over again and apply to Pitzer just for this course.
Take a look at the syllabus:
