- An Orthodox Jew tries to turn off an adult toy.
THE SHABBOS GOY is used with permission from Talia Osteeen. Learn more at powderkegmedia....
Hannah is a devout Orthodox Jew, who observes the tenets and practices of her religion, including abstaining from electronics of almost any kind on the Sabbath.
She's also a modern woman who lives in Los Angeles, the most modernist of American cities. So when a certain device of hers won't turn off, she sets out to find someone who can turn it off without violating her religion -- a "shabbos goy" outside the faith who can perform certain types of work for Jews who can't partake on the Sabbath.
Writer/director Talia Osteen's nimble, quicksilver comedy combines the bawdiness of a certain type of ribald comedy with a richly observed snapshot of how a tradition-rich religion and culture thrives in a modern setting, where diverse groups of people are nestled alongside one another but often don't deeply interact.
Like many comedies, the success of the film rests on its writing and performances, and both here have a sharp, sly eye for irony and the peccadilloes that arise when we're trying to hide things we're embarrassed, ashamed of or not supposed to do.
Hannah may be an Orthodox Jew, but she's also embraced aspects of modern womanhood, though that embrace can't exist out in the open. Yet she must find a way to reconcile these sides of herself -- a dilemma that propels her to reach out into the larger world.
That world is shot with a warm polish in the cinematography and a subtle grace in the camera movement, capturing a vision and side of Los Angeles that's warmer, humbler and livelier than most cinematic representations of the city. The visuals beautifully capture how the city is a series of hidden pockets, and Hannah goes outside of her particular enclave to solve her problem.
This leads her to Davian, a young Black man, who she enlists to help. The two likely never would have met if not for Hannah's immediate problem, but the dilemma forces them into an interaction that is both sweetly cringe-y and hilarious to watch. Actors Milana Vayntrub and Devere Rogers find a great comedic rhythm together that is true to both the wit and humor of the dialogue and the emotions of the characters. When all the elements come together in an impeccably paced crescendo of mishaps -- and Hannah's predilection comes out in the open -- it's an absolute delight of comic timing and culture clash.
Smart, witty and playful, THE SHABBOS GOY has a lightness of touch, but that sense of free spirit doesn't elide over the characters' social realities, which are deftly acknowledged in ways that don't interrupt the pleasure of the storytelling. Instead, it invents ripe comedic opportunity in playfully setting up a collision between contrasting lives and people -- and finding warmth and affection in the ways people can be there for one another, on the most basic level.
i lived in a Jewish neighbourhood and i was the only non Jew so a lot of times my neighbours would knock on my door and dramatically be like, “oh the timer on my lights messed up so now i have to sit in the dark, if only there was a good Catholic who was willing to help me”
Why can't they do it themselves?
My mother in law's Jewish.She used to tell a joke."Q How many Jewish mothers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A None,they'll just sit around in the dark."
@@snooberoid do you feel better? I didn't see that part when I commented. Stop saying literally smh. You're pathetic and I'm glad you got so worked up you had to literally be a twat
@@ShadowPlay1919 Did you even read what you typed lol
@@nituraa8147 yes, and there is nothing wrong with what I typed. Have a nice day
Um can this be a tv show with them as the characters, I’d literally watch this
As opposed to watching it hypothetically?
Hell yeah 🔥
Very glad to hear this! Follow @byTaliaOsteen & @TheShabbosGoyFilm on Instagram for updates on a longer format version that’s being developed! :)
Me too!
"Literally " is one the best words to abuse; the more inappropriate, the funnier.
That was brilliantly done start to finish - esp like how all that older women knew how it worked...
@Amo Rise "More like they pushed the story too much" my life experience tends to follow a similar pattern ... when it rains, it _pours_ ... which makes this story that much funnier.
Agreed. Brilliantly done.
(It is nice to have some nice light-hearted story every once in awhile, a departure from the gut-wrenching, mind-expanding typical stories from Omeleto 😉 )
My feelings precisely 👍
Yess, brilliant!!! 😂😂😂
c'mon, it's just one electric toothbrush
@@Sandeepan multifunctional 😁
"And that, kids, was how I met your mother."
Great reply
I definitely ship it. (Also, her vibrator was black.. maybe she has a type?)
"And that, kids, was how I got circumcised"
🤣 well quoted, sir or ma'm, well quoted
Milana Vayntrub is a great comedic actor who should be featured more!
She's an actress.
No. She's an actor. Actress is a term that has fallen out of favour. Equality... And all that.
Her solution was a bit... unorthodox. (Ba-dum!) Thank you, I'll be here all week!
😆 🤣 😂
@@fml5910 that's technically operating the machine.
👏 👏👏 😂🤣💀👻
She should have bed the black guy
I bet you don't get no respect! ;)
That black guy ran for his life hahahaha. I would've done the same thing! Looks like a trap from my angle. Especially when she yells "hey black guy" lol
Hahahaha!!!!! Yeah, I don't blame him, either! I'd be all like "I don't know what the hell this crazy ass woman wants, but I'm sure as not sticking around to find out!" which was exactly his stance, with good reason! 🤣
The subplot was Freudian AF! WJF chases SBM (MD! ) who symbolizes her one true love. 🤣😂🤣
@@kusheran Hahaha!!! OMG! I never thought about it like that, but you are so right! L! This puts an entirely new spin on the movie for me! 🤣
😂😂😂😂

He thought she was a Karen..lol 😆
I would too
😂😂😂
What man would be frightened by a beautiful dark haired woman chasing after him. I thought she was a "turn on"--lol.
@@daimonmarioperez9501 exactly!! lol
This is hilarious. I love how none of the women were surprised by the vibrator.
I like the "hand bra" when she runs.
The lady certainly has a magnificent figure, very funny video.
If there is anything in this world that could potentially break a white supremacist it's the khazar milkers.
she does that just the half way (((-:
I can't believe it took me that long to recognize "Lily".
Hey, when those get too much motion it HURTS!
This was so well done. I laughed harder and harder as each little scenario played out. These lines tickled me: "Well are you?", "Black?, "Jewish!" or "I've heard of the bible. Best seller."-LOL!!
"Do you know Drake is jewish? Do you know Drake?" :DD
The Challa bread, not the circumcision. 🙄
Agree! How about “germs?” “Jews” when he offered to shake her hand! LMAO 😂
in case no one noticed... that's AT&T's "Lilly"
She is a cutie!
🥛
Right away. Glad to see her in other things. Hope it continues for her. 💗
Keep it movin Lily!
How come the shadchan never sets me up with women who look like her?😝😱
Had a similar situation happen to me. I worked in an orthodox Jewish community and one night a family’s thermostat was too high and they came to my store to ask me to come turn it off for them, lol.
In my hospital where I worked, they were not allowed to touch the elevator buttons so the gentile passengers had to do it for them. lol.
Rideaux Baldwin That's really funny 😄
it's funny here .. but crazy if you think about it .
@Rising Sun no. You're not supposed to worship Jews, no (not according to Judaism at least. Idk who told you that. Worship God, not people. That would be idolatry!!). The Israelites were the last people/nation that God offered the Torah to, they were God's last choice. Others didn't want to do it and the Israelites were the very last people God wanted to ask.
You make one lousy business decision...
I find it hysterical that all the women knew what it was, even the one that hadn't actually seen it.
Maybe this happens all the time.
One of the best Beatles songs…. “ HEY JEW “ 😂😂😂
A lot of the ones I have watched have been dark. This was the second one that made me laugh.
KRB52 what’s the other one? :)
Was the first one with the "butterfly" sympathy card to his boss?
The first was “The Gunfighter”. I forgot about the sympathy card one; that was good, too.
I'm tired of the "dark" metaphor. Does dark always mean bad? Is that racist?
@@carocat5362 i watched this yesterday, so good🤣
"You know, Drake is Jewish. Do you know drake?" 😂😂😂
😆
Aye Tam_aye! of course I do. Do you know Ron? ☺️
And others: Lisa Bonet, Lenny Kravitz (well father's side), Rain Pryor (yes the comedian's daughter), Tracee Ellis Ross, Daveed Diggs (Law & Order atty.), Maya Rudolph, & Rashida Jones (Her mother, Peggy Lipton was Jewish).

She knew damn good what was going on🤣🤣
3:44 Do toothbrushes come in glitter form as well? 😄
Oy vey,shut it down....use the off button.
Dump it in water?
When he asks, "Blaackk?" Hahahaha
Oh My Goodness! I LOVE the guy's laughter when he sees her 'toy.'
"Tanya - Fascinating woman!" Hahahahahaha!
"Do you know Drake?" !!!!!!" I nearly died laughing!!!
Devere Rogers - you are a star!!!!
So that's what Lily from AT&T has been up to lately.
U know she's back at AT&T promoting that 5G hype right?
My thought exactly
🤣
So cute
She's just been vibin'
Oh the burn
But seriously, if you are not supposed to "work" on the Sabbath, wasn't all that running around more work than just flicking a switch?
It was just a plot device. No one explains how the toy got started. But electric switches are an issur de rabbanim, not from the Torah. There were obviously no electric lights two thousand years ago.
@@72Yonatan * 2020
There are I think 40 things that are considered work on shabbat, lighting fire is one of them, not running
Although electricity is not the same, they still introduced it like a work don't ask me why
It is faith, it is our way. You are not wrong, but it is our interpretation. I gently request your patience.
hahaha you also arent supposed to run. obviously there is more than one thing brought here that isn't ok according to jewish law.
Ugh. Mothers.
They have like a third eye somewhere.
Yeah, they do!
Lol, Jewish and Asian mothers!
Intuition
Isn't that what the toy is for? 🤣
Life experience.
Milana has great comedic talent and her sense of timing is spot on.
She has 2 large talents for sure
🥛 talent
She is a beauty!
Others may disagree but in my 75 years this is one of the funniest, warmest, most human things I have seen. Well done by all involved.
I'm 75 too and I agree.
As an Orthodox Jew, I find this repulsive and degenerate. I hate it.
@@tamarinds I am not the maker of the content. Are you telling me that you find my comment "repulsive and degenerate"?
@@jerryrufener9281 No, the content of the video.

« why do you think that because I’m black ? » this part is more than accurate 😂
The A T & T girl is so cute , And Love that she went to short movies.
I thought she looked familiar
I thought she was sitting at that table with a bright yellow hardhat😂🤣😂
I swear this was freakin' hilarious...Electric toothbrush🤦🏾♀️, just shove that thing in the linen closet between some blankets next time, lawd🙌🏾😂
Hahahaha!!!! Yeah, an "electric toothbrush"...🤣
Mom knew exactly what was really going on, because a mother always knows! Hahaha!!! And that just made that poor girl all the more mortified! 🤣🤣🤣
This is definitely one of the best offerings I've seen from Omeleto, yet!
Then it's batteries run down.
This is easily the most amazing thing I have watched this year. Brilliant concept for a short
Kudos to both Milana and Devere for these performances! Well done!
All the actors / actresses really. Nicely played
Clicked because Milana. Let's not lie, gents
I would post this, if it wasn't already posted. 👍
I am not above agreeing
Hey! She's a great actor.
I have no idea who that is but if its that chick then YEA SHE'S HOT !!!!!!!
M M the one in the thumbnail?
"I've done this for years, believe me" 😂
This has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen, and she is such a wonderful and warm human and actress!
Wait is this why when I was delivering amazon packages to a Jewish family in West Hollywood they asked me to flip the light switch?
Lol must be 😂
Thanks for your service!
I have´nt laughed this hard since the time (1977) when my Dad fell asleep in church and directly afterwards a Bird pooped on his forehead in the Parking lot.
Fricking funny!!!I loved it!!!its a breath of fresh air during the times of racism and religious conflict,to see there can still be a sence of humor in life
These are times of racism?
All goy will bow to us smarter Jew race
@@gonzalomascorro2225 You must be an antisemite since you're saying an antisemitic hate idea about Jews and using a term in a way we wouldn't. Visit us and get to know us.... you'lll come to appreciate us too!
@@Number1Camperhave you been living under a rock?
This is by far the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. The mom at the end! RONFL!
ahhahahahahahah
Haha this is perfect timing, just got home from a shabbat at my grandparent's home.
@Vasanthi And in the seventh day god "rested" (=shabbat).
Hahahahaha!!!!!! Wow! Yeah, the timing of this couldn't have been better even if it had been planned! The fact it wasn't just makes it all the more hilarious! The universe does strange things, sometimes!
@Vasanthi just shabbat haha yeah. For my family we had the dinner on Friday tho
@Vasanthi a Shabbat family dinner, basically the cultural food that you saw here, along with the whole family every Friday eve
@Vasanthi no Sunday is considered the first day in Jewish Bible, the 7th is the rest day (Friday eve is when the day starts in Jewish law, so basically Saturday starts Friday eve)
"I've heard of the Bible, bestseller" LMAOO
Yoooo I came for a laugh and got AT&T girl along with it, my day is conplete
I'll watch literally anything with Milana Vayntrub in it.
I hope you've seen 'Other Space', if not you're in for a treat.
YES.
I'd like to more of her action stuff... you know, just her, running around.
Lol my friends apartment building has A lot of Orthodox Jews. Lol she’s had to shut off things for them more than a couple of times.
any toys?
@@myfairlahey5738 ahaha no toys.
This is the most hilarious thing I've seen on here in a while.
They make a cute couple. We need more Black Man/jewish woman couples.
Oy vey

Every once in a while I revisit the short movie, and laugh like a hyena! The storyline set up was brilliant. The actors really seem to have fun with their parts. No pun. I recommend putting this on your saved list so you can watch it every once in a while and lift your spirits.
It is a common misconception that we don't use electricity because it is like fire. That is true (according to some Rabbis) about electric lights. But electric appliances aren't turned on and off becomes one is completing or undoing the building of a switch.
The "Work" prohibited is not all labor, but 39 specific types of tasks. Other labor is generally permitted (although sometimes prohibited by Rabbinic regulations).
Isn't the fact that she had to run to find help an act of "work" in itself?
@@commandercaptain4664 Nah, it's not one of the specific 39 activities prohibited on Shabbos.
Good to know, but it's still hypocritical when lots of kinds of work are allowed but some are not.
@@david203 That is not what hypocrisy is. Even if you want to make the case that this is inconsistent, indeed even arbitrary, senseless, even unprincipled, that is still not what hypocrisy is. That is not how the English language works.
This is way too funny.
But a good gives just another good glimpse into ourselves and our ability to laugh at what seems to be a perilous situation.
If you can't laugh at yourself, odds are you're probably not a very happy person.
Great video.
quite funny ...
2:59 reminds me of a joke (form a book about jewish humor and jokes written by a jewish author - so pls don't freak out)
a rabbi travels in the NYC subway and notices a black guy across the wagon,who reads a book (or newspaper) in hebrew.
he goes over to the guy and says : Excuse me, but being black was not enough for you ?
Hilarious.
hilarious
I'm a half Jew-writer/filmmaker/actor -atheist yet I'm aware of this lifestyle and I have to say, this is well done-and funny!
This is a great short comedy. Omeleto puts out quality shorts films. Milana Vayntrub is very funny! She is not afraid to let herself go, get into the role and not take herself to seriously. We need to see more of her!
At 3:44 My *EXACT* reaction _about this video_ 😂
4:50 did it for me 🤣😅🤣
Very very impressed with this play. Though it's 'adult toy business' type story, Jews and their practices made this beautiful comedy. Wise thinking and great screen play and beautiful action with charming background score. Hats off !!! 👏
This was 1 hell of a vibrating story.
OMG I’ve been orthodox Jewish my entire life and it’s amazing how accurately they captured parts of Jewish life. Remarkable film
A fine example and testament that multiculturism is alive and well in the good old U.S. of A.! In the true American spirit, we help our fellow citizens in their time of need, regardless of race, religion, or ethnicity. This video restores my faith in this country...and makes me laugh myself silly every time I watch it.
Milana is great in everything I've seen her in. I hope she becomes a big star. She's really funny in an understated way.
You know, this was a really great film for a lot of reasons, one of which is the fact that it was written as a short movie, rather than as the pitch for a longer film. Oftentimes, all short films are are pitches for longer films, where only a portion of a longer story is made into a film, and then is pitched as a short, in hopes that its popularity will give it the traction it needs to become a feature film. I don't fault filmmakers for doing that, but it often leaves the short film feeling unsatisfying, because the story is not finished. This, thankfully, at least very much feels as though it was written as a film short, making the ending far better written, and the movie feeling far more satisfying than the ending of most film shorts are.
Milana should really have her own show. She is such an underrated talent.
turns out she was in an unaired Marvel show. Squirrel girl or something. It was cancelled before airing.
She's def 1 hot #
I have no idea why, to this point, she doesn't have one.
The most kosher movie I've ever seen. Except "The Shtreimels" series of course ;)
At 2:44, she's trying with all her might to hold down her sweater puppies.🤣
I WOULD LOVE TO DEBATE THE TALMUD W HER TOO
I think is a lesbian and got married last year.
@@thomaswaeghe1527lesbian "marriage" doesn't exist.
Thank you for this!! I haven't laughed so long or so hard during this pandemic!
I'm Orthodox Jewish, and I'm laughing WAY too hard at this! It's actually pretty darn accurate. I've actually run around the neighborhood because my daughter accidentally turned on the light in the bedroom, and there was no way I could sleep with it on. I got to know a few neighbors that way, but B'H nothing so embarrassing as this!
It is a kind of occupational hazard of being orthodox...
Honestly this concept is crazy to me. I do more work breathing. But hey worship how you will.
@Derk guez Judaism is about works, not real faith in Jehovah God. Their religion isn't about a true relationship with God but rather God giving them commandments and they follow them to the exact tee. For Jews, works show their devotion to God.
the only inaccurate thing i could find is that they violated yichud when they were in the room together with the door closed
I'm sure god would have forgiven you for turning off the light. Would you have forgiven yourself though.
How come no one is talking about how this is the AT&T lady lol
If she was chasing me I would stop . She's gorgeous.
That was very entertaining! I’m willing to bet someone has had to handle this in real life. Bravo!
Well played, Omeleto!!!! I must admit I loved that. Excellent throughout.
WELL DONE!!! That gave me a great laugh to my morning. Very comical in what a woman had to go through to turn off her vibrator lol because it was the Sabbath.
However, we have to try and remember one thing, one important thing!!!
MOTHER ALWAYS KNOWS,
SHE'S HAS EYES IN THE BACK OF HER HEAD AND RADAR THAT SIGNALS ANY TROUBLE!! 😏🤣
This is the funniest thing I have seen on the Internet. Beautifully done!
Mt. Sinai hospital has a dedicated sabbath elevator that stops at every floor, so that no one has to press a button.
That's pretty commonplace in Jewish apartment complexes
Oh, my God! I don't remember the last time I've laughed this hard! I have literal tears streaming from my eyes from laughing so hard at this! I'll be honest--usually what Omeleto considers comedy is more my idea of drama. But this....this is definitely comedy!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Loved it! Hilarious and creative.Just found this channel and look forward to binging it. This reminds of a skit that Carley Adams (My neighbor Billy) did where she was making a business proposition at a fancy restaurant and dropped the remote control to the vibrator she had on. Some kid at another table found it and was playing with it while she made the presentation to some wealthy clients.
Be aware - many of the videos on Omeleto are not humorous and may be disturbingly dark.
I did not grew up in an orthodox home, but as a Jew I can relate. Loved this short film. I was wishing it were longer...
said most women...😂
I could not stop laughing. That was great!
They somehow manage to get the most gorgeous and talented actresses going to appear in these shorts.
Glad I am a Gentile.
You could make a full-blown TV series out of it ! It has so much potential.
This randomly popped up on my feed and I was skeptical, but I actually enjoyed it and laughed out loud
"Oh, I've been doing this for years" ROFLMAO!
This is the best! Please post more content like this :)
This... is by far... the funniest, and most realistic, religious experience I think I've ever had on TH-cam.
That was fun to watch. And, the bonus was "Lilly!!!" Her ATT commercials are my favorites.
I picture the Almighty having a chuckle over all the effort put into following a rule, when it would have been so simple to flick the switch and ask for forgiveness then go back to dinner.
That's exactly why he made it.

Thanks for posting this. It was very funny and very well done. Signed, a good Italian Catholic fellow.
As someone raised Orthodox Jewish, the line about Likutei Tanya is a gem that most people will not get.
I just assumed the Tanya in the name obviously isn't a woman, is there more to it than that?
@@krashd it's the name of a highly influential philosophical/ mystical book by the founder of the Lubavitch chassidic movement
@@zeev613 But the actual joke is that the black guy thought it was about someone called Tanya? Or is there more to it.
@@krashd See what Zeev wrote, and also that "Tanya" means "he taught" in Aramaic, which is a common way for the Talmud to introduce a particular idea.
@@zeev613 Remember playing Risk at Mark's house in Nachlaot many, many years ago? Hahahahaha. I think it was Shabbos. If you figure out who I am, don't announce it here publicly, but if I recall we met at the same institution of learning with a name similar to that of a popular Black comedian.
Never saw a sitcom with a klezmer soundtrack but if one exists it COULDN'T be any better than this.
The AT&T girl! She's so cute.
All that food makes me miss dinners haha.
Do have to say tho, poor gold fish! Such a tiny bowl
Electric toothbrush 😆 she's knows what's up
“Can I also interest you in a new phone from AT&T?”
Really funny. Shabbos Goy, one hand washes the other. We are all in this together.
My father did that for a Jewish family in his neighborhood in Minneapolis back in the 1920s-30s; he would light the fire in their furnace or stove etc. for them. I heard on a local TV history program that back then in some Iron Range towns (like Hibbing or Biwabik) the big shopping day was Saturday, but almost all the stores were owned by Jews, so they would hire a "shop goy" who would run the store on Saturdays for them.
Well done! It's good not to take oneself too seriously all the time.
Absolutely Hilarious! I about died laughing! A comic gem to be sure!
The funniest video yet. Omelet has some wonderful writers.
This was a great short. Great writing and acting and nuance.
I’m an African-American that lives in New Jersey in an area where there is a large Jewish community. I’m privileged to be one of the few goyim’s that’s trusted to help out especially during the sabbath. I’ve made phone calls, helped pump basements, did emergency repairs etc. during weather events and in general. Lol but never anything like this! I hope it never happens!
I remember when I was younger and was visiting a family member in the hospital and the elevator was stopping on every floor it was later explained that this was necessary so a Jewish person didn’t have to push the buttons, I was like ok. Also my father had a cleaning business and most of his customers were Jewish so thankfully I was exposed to the community early as a youngster so they were just another group within my diverse community/city so it was no big deal to eat Kosher Chinese food or purchase coffee from the DD without meat or drink Manischewitz Wine which my family and friends liberally supported.
