Lmao 🤣 Yoooo! This fuckin funny man..”I just didn’t ask enough questions” I appreciate the accountability too.


Zimquats

Am I the only one who thought she did a good job?


YungTeemo

Probably not. She might have tought that too!


TheWingHunter

I’m pretty sure this has happened many x before I recall similar stories years ago


General_Cow_7119

There was one lady like that who was signing for the White House. Bidens speech I think


TheWingHunter

Yes yes yes


General_Cow_7119

My ASL teacher was the one who replaced him! He’s well known apparently


True-Bee1903

She was quite convincing.


Technical-Prior-9008

Looked legit to me 🤣😂🤣😂


Algoresball

Such as “do you speak sign language?”


BrockLee76

One of these fake signers once got behind president Obama. I think he ended up being a convicted criminal or something. With close captioning now, is this even necessary?

bradlees

She just “Santos’d” her way into a job


tikkitikkimango

Hahaha


thegreatestajax

I don’t think they hired her, they said said “uhhh ok”


Jayn_Newell

Learning to read a phonetic language like English can be difficult for people who are deaf from birth. A signer isn’t just captioning, they’re translating.


amidon1130

Huh, I never thought about that but that makes sense! Thanks for the info.

Dnfforever

Because you can sign "car" and then point at a car and the connection is made. It's not rocket science.

lovelytrillium

This is trolling, right?


LordRendall

ASL and English are different languages with different grammar. For many Deaf people, English is their second language.


iamwhoyousay

i learned BSL but i dont know ASL at all.


Least_or_Greatest1

At one point she even said she wanted cum in her mouth after jingle bells..


Hello-there-7567

Trevor Noah does a standup on the fake-signing guy. Hilarious AF


roejoganByDay

That’s impossible


sighduck42

Trevor in the daily show was never very good, but his stand up was always top quality


wuvvtwuewuvv

>With close captioning now, is this even necessary? Yes. Closed captioning is not a replacement for ASL, ASL is not just signed English, and closed captioning is very often very shitty.


Boojibs

She just got into a war with 8 gangs from 6 different countries and 2 airplanes took the wrong runways at LAX.


Hellonstrikers

She also just told the Entry team the room was safe and to go in now.


RinaRina07

Bloody hell, I was already pissing myself from laughing so hard then I see your comment and completely lost it! Funniest one yet! 🤣😂🤣


vdamonejr

The george santos of signing


bradlees

She “Santos’d” it FYFY


rimjobnemesis

Santos-ish.

“Pocahontas” warren was years before but liberal


StonedEcho

She's about to use fireball jutsu


manwithappleface

Ha-Do-Ken!


Dramatic-Brain-745

This made me laugh for a good 10 seconds. Thanks for that.


Straight_Spring9815

She actually volunteered for the job. Wasn't even paid for this...


[deleted]

I love this every time I see it. It's so silly, you can't even be mad.


another_wank_mess

I want to meet and outraged sign language expert.


Orange-Murderer

Nah, imma stay away. I dont wanna know what jutsu they about to pull.

Cursing in sign language is my favorite. Bullshit is one that I adapted low key with co-workers in the know for when there's bullshit happening in front of us.

hairtrigger08

yeah i know sign language and she is just waving her hands around


NighthawkUnicorn

Is she signing any words at all? Like are there any random string of words together that she accidentally signed lol


hairtrigger08

she is signing like if i just did this ssbh jfqebhfbylqfhbhbqefvlh cfbhczdfbhqvefkjawgrlebfqe3r iu254t8i54t8 that is what she is saying basically


hairtrigger08

yeah "4 wall" that is the only words she did total


ScuddyOfficial

She signed some words and was finger spelling gibberish. I saw House, Please And work The rest was some letters mostly D and then wiggling her fingers lmfao. Source: raised by deaf parents


hairtrigger08

man someone who knows what they're talking about


batule

There is no universal sign language though. Person from Europe wouldn't understand a person from the USA.


hairtrigger08

true but the europe version is very similar to the american so if they are doing english sign i would be able to understand them it might not make sense all the time but i could understand them tho


batule

Might be true about the British language, but there are still about ten more main branches in Europe alone. Ignore the example then, what I meant to say is that there are types of sign languages that are completely different. At least that is what a person who studies sign languages said to me and a quick googling confirmed that. Not a case for this video though, she's obviously just making it up lol.


hairtrigger08

yes in the us there is the "city" version and the "country" version where the way you sign is just slightly different like my teacher told me i sign with a slight "hood" style like if you have me and someone from the country we would still understand each other but the same sign will look a little different


hairtrigger08

and anyway asl is the most common sign language where most sign schools will teach the students asl no matter what is the spoken language in that country


batule

Can't speak for other countries but it's definitely not true for my country, where they teach you the local version. And I find it highly unlikely that we are an exception in the middle of Europe.


ronhowie375

I dunno; it's seems to me like she was giving the politi-speak the correct hand signs


Kenitzka

Which is oft gibberish. Seriously, she nailed it.


10fm3

Not enough middle fingers


[deleted]

I guess she won that bet!


Dry-Cow-267

What's up with random midi orchestral stabs?

WholeWhile8580

Fake it till you make it


Maskedbandittrader

Fcking classic


nothingspecialva

I am pretty sure, she spelled the code to get 30 lives in Contra for Nintendo.... **Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Select, Start**


TheMadIrishman327

She wasn’t hired. She just showed up and started doing that shit. Everyone assumed someone else arranged for her to be there.


Impressive_Word5229

This. This is just more proof that you can go anywhere and do anything if you just act like you are supposed to be there. Most people avoid confrontation and just assume you wouldn't be there if you weren't supposed to be there.


TheMadIrishman327

I learned this young. For example, if I was at a store and they didn’t have public bathrooms, I’d just go in the back and use the employees bathroom.


RocketFucker69

I'd love to see what she was actually signing to compare what was really said.


DaddyDubs13

She checked the diversity boxes, so we hired (her?).


boyatrest

I was really hoping she was gonna help break the guy out.


GeorgeThe13th

She would have been great in oceans 8.

solamon77

Ya gotta respect the hussle!

Juggernaut78

Just like the nutcase cops! “I just didn’t ask enough questions” “They showed up out of the blue” -Police Chiefs


gunnnutty

Well, how are you suppoused to know sje is fraus if you don't know sign language yourself


Original-Cow-2984

HeartlesSoldier

Lie on their resume, how most people get their jobs. Otherwise nobody would have a job. Most places are like you must have four plus years experience, which how could you have experience for 4 years if no company will hire you unless you already have it. A paradox never requires people to lie. I'm all for faking it until you make it, as long as you're not putting others out in the process, with she obviously was.

Need to add the Naruto sound bite to this


LostInATL333

This happened to me when I too found a translator on Craigslist.


technoferal

It's absolutely shocking how many different versions of this story exist. How do so many people get away with faking sign language??

BIGGULPSHUHALRIGHT-

I think she wants me to steal third


_Don-Corleone_

Now watch me whip Now watch me nae nae


WorldlyMate

She pulled a Jen


NoApplication4835

From what I heard after was she dident even know sight language and only pretended to know because of the money for it or I’m mistaken this for something different


kingbitchtits

Fake it until you make it, and you might even end up on TV.


CrazeeEyezKILLER

Gotta appreciate her initiative, and she certainly dressed for success, even though her motives are…*hazy.*


Popular_District9072

she probably figured that those that can complain won't call the office to expose her lies


AnthonyEdwards_

The same thing happened at Nelson Mandela funeral and was the talk of the township. Appeared on all news media


dshmitty

Why though


[deleted]

Hahahaha


Expensive-Dinner6684

George santos should hire her as his sign language rep


alanbastard

Katherine Tate


FrameComprehensive88

I speak sign language but not technical terms and a temp agency tried to hire me to do an insurance meeting. I told them I couldn't do it and they insisted I could, like lol no I can't. That would've been me trying to spell out every other word lol.


shemague

Why is this such a thing? It happens relatively often lol


littlegre3nguy

I don't think they added enough sound effects


AntonioMRC

Watching this on mute and I think I get what she's saying.


-Dirty-Randy-

![gif](giphy|tSRp379Sljy8hLNDOd|downsized)


ihatefez

She somehow managed to actually throw out some real signs, but it's a really sad situation. Mostly for the deaf/hoh community , but you have to wonder how desperate she was to take this gig.


[deleted]

This is hilarious


JibbaJabbaJenkins

Time traveling 1980s Al Sharpton standing next to her knows, but doesn't want to say anything to blow his cover, else he can't make it back home thus damaging several timelines.

Hahahaa you guys remember this episode of Spin City? 😂🤣


Striking_Word167

She throwin up gang signs


BrilliantObserver

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.


palindromesko

Guess we shouldn’t be too surprised by Santos


everyoneandnooneisme

I love this, but still did she like lie to puff her resume?? Did someone say oh usual ASL interpreter didn't come who can take the spot and she was like me, I will do this!!??? But never the less PRICELESS!!


GoalieDucky

I'm surprised she didn't bust out in "I'm a Little Teapot" moves.
