My grandfather (Umberto) at 14 years old came to this country alone on a boat from Italy. Thank you for helping me understand that I was not alone growing up living with immigrant grandparents! It’s so great to look back at my childhood and smile.😁
His expressions and physical comedy are perfect...flawless timing and delivery!
That's what I luv about him! Hilarious!!
He even managed to fit in a "putana" from nona. 🤌
"Come si chiama...aspetta" and another word I can't repeat 😉 He knows SOME Italian 🤣
I have Caribbean parents, and this is so relatable 😂
You don’t have to be Italian to relate
"You, Javier and Athinos will be in the library writing a paper about how immigrants parents don't sign permission slips" Only Sebastian Maniscalco can craft a punchline like that lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I know it's a comedy routine--- but that bit was very sad. Field trips are such a special moment when you're little. I still remember many of my favorite field trips. 😪
As a son of Mexican immigrants I would have been kicking it with sebastian in the cafeteria also.
Yes, an Italian, a Spaniard, and a Greek. Lol!
Lunch room for three days hahsha
Lol. I am all Italian. I grew up like this. I wish I could relive those days. Proud to be Italian.
Sebastian, Javier and Athenos...in the lunchroom for 3 days. THATS the Chicago way....
Funniest line in the whole routine.
@@Broadwayshowgirl bbking
That was sooooo funny it happened to me too and I am in the UK 🇬🇧 🤣🤣🤣
He's one of my favorite comedians.
I can’t imagine why
@@redram5150 Now you watch your Gott Damned mouth, punk!! Show some respect to the great Maniscalco!
Absolutely hysterical and soooooo accurate!!! 🤣🤣🤣
When I was in 5th grade, my class had gone camping at a nature park. My parents who are Italian immigrants wouldn't give me permission to go on this camping trip. My teacher called my parents and them that it would not do my education any good if I didn't go. My parents argued with the teacher that it is not beneficial for me to go camping. As a result, my parents caved in to my teacher's demands and mom and dad had to buy me a sleeping bag. My dad knowing what a tightwad he was didn't want to buy the sleeping bag. It is a cultural thing that non Italians do not understand.
Thanks for the clarification for us Non-Italians!!! Stay Blessed.
@City Nat Yep.
But is the actual issue with letting their kids go? Is it just economics or is it because the activity isn't something normally done in the home country?
Because the italian parents are very, but very protective...ahhaha
@@Babykilla76 Accurate. I am an adult whos nearly 28 , with a kid and I pay my own bills, but if my elderly italian mother had it her way, I'd be made to live with her forever and would have to ask for permission just to leave the house.
Just saw Sebastian at my local casino wow what a great show immense talent! My stomach still hurts from laughing BRAVO👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My grandparents didn't speak English either but my parents made sure my sister and I were bilingual. I don't understand why his parents didn't teach him Italian. My close friend was taught 4 languages growing up (English, Dutch Turkish and French), so it's possible to teach your kids multiple languages. Also my immigrant mother not only signed permission slips, she was one of the parents who help supervise the trip. Thanks mom!
Honestly, his pronunciation of Sicilian dialect is very good. Sebastian is being a bit too modest, I think.
Literally all my Italian greats aunts and uncles who came to the states as adults speak just like that. I’m dying watching it the second time
Love this so much! I am not Italian but I can so relate to this with my Grandparents and the language barrier
Hahaha! Makes me miss my grandfather even more❤️. This is accurate!
He tells the true story..that's what I like about him..brutally honest ❤
ROTFLMAO OMG! IM LAUGHING HISTORICALLY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
THE BEST! OH YAY, EXACTLY SPOT ON!!!
Well, now I'm an immigrant parent and I don't sign permission slips... 🤔
My mom was a single mom of 5 over 50 years ago now. She taught us to imitate her signature perfectly by the time we were 8 or so. Everyone spoke English no problem, she just couldn't be bothered, lol.
You, Javier and Athenos.... Lmfao
Nice to have grandparents.
My family! Italian Dad came from 10 kids…my husband’s Nonnie lived with us for 2 years. What a gift they were.
So funny, and so true...
Yep, my Mexican parents were busy working two jobs each... they didn't have time to sign a dam slip hahaha...
lol, in his jibberish Italian, I think he said 'puttana catzo' imitating his nonna when she was walking to the sink! lol
Omg!! This is so true. He has me rolling on the floor laughing 😂
This is completely accurate and very relatable.
I watch sebastian every night instead of watching the news b-4 bed, so fricken FUNNY!
So true😆😂🤣😅
I remember a friend of mine said she liked macaroni & cheese for lunch.... so my Grandma made sure she made what my friend liked. She made the macaroni and sprinkled the cheese on top like it was parmesan. I never had it so I thought this is how it was made😳
Love this guy. Is it just me, or do some of his impressions of his grandparents’ Italian utterances sound like they’re in a Japanese accent?
Bravo!
Yep! Me too...lol
Both sets of my Grandparents spoke Italian and English. My father's parents were the one's I would go to to stay just for the weekend. My Grampa was a policeman and my Noni was the broom handler. You get out of line, you either got spanked or beaten w/ a broom. My mother's parents were a little more liberal. I get to drink wine, help in the garden, go hiking, go to the 5 and dime store and eat anything and everything. I had a blast at both houses. I stayed w/ my mother's parents all summer long. I never could do anything wrong. I was my Grandpa's favorite. He was a great wine maker, believe me. Ah, Salut!!!, all summer long. 🧐😂😂😂👍
so true! ditto with my grandparents! but so precious. great memories and so funny!
Crazy! Was raised by my Cubans grandparents and its the same experiences. LMAO!!
exact same, Bosnian parents, kids go skiing, i sat with Stewart in the gym
SO TRUE.
OMG. This is gold.
My grandparents were the same . No peeing on the floor though. I learned all the bad words though
so what happened to his grandpa? he just pissed on the floor, why he can bring him to swim class? 😂
He should do a tour with Stavros Halkias.
Chris Cuomo butterfly effect version returns.
Ahahah awesome!
I can remember my great uncle Sal and his fig tree the size of a semi in the middle of the city.The man could grow anything,didn't speak a word of english.
So true
my sister is married to an Italian guy. His parents....plastic covers on the furniture....the basement thing...so true! But great people.,.and amazing, and I mean amazing lasagne.
My Italian mom told me to forage her signature if it was THAT important
My late father‘s parents were from Italy. Grandpa was from Rome and grandma, Nana, was from Sicily., Both spoke Italian and very little English, brought up eight kids including my dad. I don’t know how they did it.
So relatable so funny. But you don’t need to cruse to be Funny 😊
You, Javier and Athenos.
My parents aren't immigrants, but holy crap...this shits real
Crazy Joe Gallo
I will say…I’m a kid of an immigrant and my husband grew up in Nigeria and yeah. I NEVER asked my Mexican mom to sign permission slips. It would be get complicated and she would ask me all these questions and somehow it never got signed. With out kids I just realized that yes we do no sign some things-I don’t want my kid touching the class lizard. Or in the halloween parade. Sometimes the answer is no. No.
His grandparents weren’t saying no they just forgot but I realized yes I always asked my American dad to sign permission slips because it just got done lol.
Grandpa Joke...
The IRS decided to audit Grandpa, and summoned him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.
The auditor said, “Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the IRS finds that believable.”
“I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,” says Grandpa. “How about a demonstration?”
The auditor thinks for a moment and says, “OK. Go ahead.”
Grandpa says, “I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.”
The auditor thinks a moment and says, “It’s a bet.”
Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor’s jaw drops.
Grandpa says, “Now, I’ll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.”
The auditor can tell Grandpa isn’t blind, so he takes the bet.
Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye. The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa’s attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.
“Want to go double or nothing?” Grandpa asks. “I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.”
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there’s no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.
Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can’t make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor’s desk.
The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Grandpa’s attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.
“Are you OK?” the auditor asks.
“Not really,” says the attorney. “This morning, when Grandpa told me he’d been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you’d be happy about it.”
Me Ether..Ask JESUS. Not Me.:)
This guy has a lot of pent-up grief

Forget Italy
You, Xavier, and Athenos will have to sit in the lunchroom for 3 days and write a paper about how Immigrant Parents don't sign permission slips🤣😂😂🤣😄
About parent/grandparents not learning English, I'm thinking if they came to U.S. already retired/not working where speaking was required, why the need to learn English if you got your relatives to translate for you/or sign language like Sebastian. Lil Trivia: Prez Martin Van Buren spoke only Dutch with his parents in the U.S., their town was primarily Dutch and they operated an inn for the Dutch settlers in New York.
being Greek our grandparents are the same never learned English
Italiens use sarcasm positively and negatively you dont know if they want it or not
I’ll bet your grandpa new how to throw a slap. My wife’s father from Jersey was exactly like this guys grandpa.
Look at the size of that theater! Three levels and it’s packed. I’m so glad he didn’t give up, and kept at it.
He’s the funniest comic there is these days.
No bad language or sexual overtones = a winner!
@@mikedoyle1780 he’s a class a act !
Him and bill burr. Can watch their specials over and over and still crack up
Give up?? He’s selling out in 30 minutes for 7 shows in 3 days at Carnegie Hall in NYC!!
@@Machria23 yeah you also don’t sell that amount tickets over night.
He has a come up story
Im Italian and im not joking when I say this is completely accurate.
Totally agree ✌😁
True story
Extremely close to the Lebanese culture as well. I relate to everything he says, it’s hilarious.
@@ag6981 It may seem funny to you now, but it must have affected you psychologically as a young kid. Humor is often used to mask pain.
Everybody says this
I didn't understand my grandparents' broken English any better than I understood their Italian.
As a first generation Italian American, I can confirm this is true about the grandparents. My grandparents were here for half their life and they never learned to speak English outside of a random word here and there that they threw in when they spoke Italian. Luckily for me, it helped me learn to speak Italian. My parents speak English but in the house they still speak Italian most of the time, but my grandparents were Italian all the way. Great memories.
Che bello
I understand why they didn't bother learning English though. There wasn't much gentrification at the time so they kept to Italian communities.
Lol I commend them in their commitment to not learn English
learn fucking english if you're going to live here.
Good memories Tony
I never learned to swim either. My Italian parents were too afraid I would drown. Every time I would be at the beach with friends, my mother would put a big orange canvas life jacket on me and I would watch all the kids swimming while I sat on a rock with my orange life jacket. So funny now!
And just to think here in Italy everybody or almost swims in indoor pools in the winter and outdoor pools in the summer.
@@phyld6491 It is not true. I am Italian from Italy and I also can't swim because my parents feared that I would drown. But swimming has never been necessary for me because I have never been to the sea or to the pool, my family has always loved the mountains and long walks. Viva il Trentino e le Dolomiti!
I was that one kid sitting by himself in class while everyone else was on a field trip. I guess Trinidadian parents didn't know how to sign permission slips either 😂
haha
"ATHENOS"🤣🤣🤣🤣!!! I'm done❣
I am at work dying while listening to this because this was my childhood, my parents go to work and I would have to stay with my Sicilian grandparents as well and I remember the game of charades you had to play just to get a cup of juice.
My mother in law is Persian. She’s been here on and off for 25years but still plays charades with me to get a cup of tea. Only learnt how to say thankyou in English last yr.
His humor is freaking hilarious.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
So true...being Lebanese and growing up in a neighborhood which was mostly Lebanese, Italian and Portuguese, this is so accurate...LOL
Love this...so many similarities in the Greek culture and I grew up in a similar way in Belgium...Greek immigrant parents.....they were tough strict parents but really did the best they could. The grandparents were everything too!
It sounds like a sweet mix of Japanese Italian.
I’ve seen this clip so many times and every time I can’t breathe 😂😂😂
His Italian is pretty good!!!!
sicilian dialect
"Minchia" by now should be international. And I'm not even sicilian.😂
Minchia is a sicilian dialet
@@Babykilla76 It's Italian. In Sicilian dialect, the pronunciation would be more like "mingghia".
My Sicilian grandmother didn’t speak English either. I was a bit of a mischievous kid. The only thing she ever said to me was “stay nice a”
😝😝😝😝😝😝
That's how I imitate my Italian grandparents, add an 'a' to the end of every word. My grandmother would say shutup-a!! 😂
“You, Javier, and Athenos” lmaooo
😂😂😂😂
Im 100% Italian and laugh so freakin hard because its all so true🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My grandparents were exactly the same. They watched me after school everyday mostly sign language and the little I knew. Grandma baked her own cookies from scratch with some real weird tools. She cooked for me every day though and her cooking was delicious. Thank goodness she taught all her children her famously wonderful sauce. I loved them all.
My parents didn't see my permission slips from the time I learned how to sign my mom's name in the fifth grade until I graduated. I'd just tell them about later for lunch money.
You , Javier and Athenos 😅
I’m not Italian, I’m German, but I get it. Hilarious as s#*t. He’s so talented, I have tears when I laugh.
“You, Javier and Athenos will be in the lunch room, writing a paper about how immigrant parents don’t sign permission slips”. 🤣
My mother was an immigrant and I appreciate that!
I came home from my first day in high school and told my Italian grandmother I signed up for French. I thought she was going to shoot me. Turns out, Napoleon invaded her little village in the early 1800s. She wasn't even born but the story got passed down through the generations. "I never forget." She said. Forget? It was 100 years before she was born. Then she smacked me upside the head and gave me some pizzale cookies and coffee to eat while I did my homework. :-)
"People never forget, nothing gets forgiven"

Sebastian's grandmother sounded more Japanese than Italian based on his impression.
I thought she was doing the New Zealand Huka
an angry nonna can definitely have that cadence sometimes lmao
that's almost Sicilian (dialect) and is so good! (im from Rome)
every time he goes into the italian for his grandpa I start crying, I can't. It's so funny. And when he does the grandma, is it just me or is he saying, "who could do this shit ah" lmao
Comic's definitely got the makings of a varsity athlete!
Underrated comment
It's true it happened to me.
I'm a TexMex or Mexican American ( Chicano or Poncho)couple times my parents didn't know what they were signing or they didn't want to sign nothing....
They thought it was a paper so we were going to be deported....L.O.L
Greeks and Italians totally get this 🤣
Yep! Ha ha
And Mexicans! So relatable it's insane! Hahaha
I can't tell you how many times my teachers thought I was lying because I wrote my own permission slips. Or in trouble for forged signatures when I told them my mother actually told me to sign on her behalf. Or the countless government documents and bank papers I had to translate or fill out.
I’m a mother of a “Javier” 😆
He surely speaks Sicilian pretty well...I don't believe for a minute he didn't grow up speaking Sicilian.
So true...my parents never signed one permission slip. They are immigrants 😂🥰
I'm in fucking tears haha figghiu meu, santa Madonna puttana 😂 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
😆😂😂🤣
I can’t swim either, you’re not alone. I’m a Calabrese/Sicilian-Irish/Scots woman! Now, there’s a combo for ya! A Taurus ♉️ NYer 🗽as well! 🙄😆
You make me laugh so hard! Thank you for all that you do, sir. 💋♥️🗽
White people have like 1/16 irish and they always want to claim it lmao
No bitch you’re probably just american
@AbraRf I wouldn't claim it not even if they paid me. I'm 100 italian and that's it.
Everything that he said in Italian sounds similar to Spanish. I understood what he was saying. My grandparents are the same way. My abuela and abuelo can't speak English.
He says he doesn't speak Italian but he actually does pretty good! lol
When he was young he meant. I speak sicilian the dialect both my parents are sicilian I speak it. Thank god. ✝️🙏🏻I am from down under.
@@888alp Sicilian is a very nice dialect, I have read an entire book in Sicilian. The author is Camilleri!
@@888alp you're Sicilian Australian that's pretty rare to learn about I thought all Australian Italians were calabrian
I am at work dying while listening to this because this was my childhood, my parents go to work and I would have to stay with my Sicilian grandparents as well and I remember the game of charades you had to play just to get a cup of juice.
