Best line in this is "The guy's a poutine separatist?" Three cultures in one line, possibly four. Brilliant.

Thank you, kind sir. Now we think that YOU're brilliant!

Excellent - rare to combine English, French and Yiddish and create humour - bravo - more episodes please

I'm a lifetime Montrealer. a Jew, and I have parents that speak some Yiddish. 2-1/2 out of three. Meanwhile, this is going to be a great series and I predict it will go viral!

You guys seriously have to try and get a netflix deal or SOMETHING! If the other actors don't know Yiddish, then g-d just give them phonetic scripts! I am a young Jewish woman in America and I think constantly about how among the precious things stolen from us, Yiddish may be the most precious of all. I do not speak it but I want to learn and then i want to teach other young diaspora jews. I dream of Yiddish noise bands, Yiddish sitcoms, yiddish cooking shows. It doesn't have to die if we don't let it. Sorry I'm rambling this show jsut brings me so much joy. (Also shout out to Canadian Jews! I was born in Toronto and raised in Vancouver before I moved to the US!)

This vid is as essential to understand Montreal life and humour as reading Mordechai Richler or Michel Tremblay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️ You guys make me proud to be a Montrealer! And Tabarnak, man, you make me roll on the floor laughing even 20 times later!

Rabbi Frank - You're making us blush, and our parents kvell. A DANK, chevreman! We're gonna quote you on that...

As an American who lived six years in Zurich, I understand just about all the French and can piece together about 80% of the Yiddish. Great stuff. I watched this when it first came out and swing by for a rerun every year or so.

My friend, actress and comedian Goldie Hoffmann showed this to me, I'm German and find this soo funny, I can almost understand it without subtitles too. I wish Goldie would join the cast as well, she'd be a great fit.

I just found out about 'Yidlife Crisis, and saw one episode. OUTSTANDING!!. I love it. I'll be watching the whole thing this weekend. Thanks.

Yiddish undoubtedly sounds better for comedy for some reason. Also, that poutine looks divine.

Kevin Donohue You know, I work at 55th and 3rd, not far from their Midtown location, and I never had one of their bagels. I ride my bike to work often (from Staten Island, of all places) and much of my route is Pike Street, Allen Street and 1st Ave, and I pass the East Village location as well as the Midtown. Are they that good?. Have you had a Kossar's Bagel? But these are NYC bagels -- Montreal bagels are a totally different thing, and I might like them better. Heresy for a New Yorker to say, I'll admit. (I was basically raised in Brooklyn and Staten Island, but my parents are Israeli and I was born in Boston, so maybe I'm not a true New Yorker.)

M Benyossef My sister lived in Stuy Town for decades, which is how I know them - I live up the Hudson but try to stop whenever I'm in the City - the 51st St. location is more easier to get to. For me, they define bagels! The First Ave. place had chopped herring salad - I used to get that on a bagel then walk down to Moishe's on 2nd at 7th for some hammentaschen. Yum!

Put a bowl of milk down for your dog or cat and watch them eat it. "But you're giving it to the animal, they aren't eating it themselves!" And we didn't milk the cow either. It's food. Eat it and be happy :-) If you over think anything you eat, you won't want it anymore.
