+Tovah Feldshuh -- Tovah, I've been a fan of yours since the 70's. (Ssshhhh. We'll keep that between us that we've both been around that long.) Great to see you in this show. All the best.
+Tovah Feldshuh Tovah do you have any show's coming up? I heard a rumor you were going to be in the new Fiddler but I didn't know if that was true or not.
syafiqjabar I have a Mexican mom and she does the same, at least I'm married now so I Dont have to hear the "when are you gonna get married"...now I hear the " when are you giving me a grandchild"
I can relate to this song, my mother was very similar. To the point i laughed of it only because i don't have her in my life anymore. Can you call something "love" when you never respect and never listen? I think it's more like an egoistic phantasy about being so great, not love
Love is honesty, loyalty, compassion, respect, trust, communication, and empathy. If Naomi wanted to show her concern for Rebecca, she should have done it for the betterment of Rebecca. Not to chastise her.
@@bobsamuel5382 yes, but also she is a very broken person. She did what she thought it was right, but since she isn't a very good person, she screw over her daughter over and over. Love isn't of much use in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to love.
So... small detail that's really great, Naomi says "I wasted all that dough on Harvard and Yale" and I thought it was kind of weird why she mentioned both Harvard and Yale.... and then I saw the season 2 finale... not gonna spoil what happens there, but it shows that the creators of this show were really planning things.
The overwhelm hits so hard when she sings the line, “A bishop in Wisconsin said something anti-Semitic so the temple has decided to boycott cheddar cheese”
@@morbidsearch yeh sure antisemites don't exist. Jews are the most hate-crimed religious community in the US. Anyway, as a jew that line was still hilarious.
Is that a normal thing to say? You know that Jewish people still face antisemitism and violence. What's the point of dismissing it by bringing up a nation that far from all Jewish people support? You are being edgy for its own sake, bringing Palestinian suffering into an unrelated conversation.
@morbidsearch it’s anti-semetic to assume all Jewish people support Israel and actively harms the possibility for Jewish-Palestinian solidarity 🙄 it’s people like you who align the state of Israel with the millions of Jewish people living in other countries that provoke anti-semetic aggression against anti-Israel Jewish people minding their own business and make them believe that trying to change this narrative is a waste of time. i’m not even Jewish but a Palestinian activist literally spoke out against people like you months ago, and i remember her passionate speech. you’re bringing your own movement down…
People like you are obsessed with hating Israel, even though you don’t know even one actual fact about it and what you do know is learned from a propagandized instagram post. This is the only way you’ll be accepted in the circles you are in. You then feel the need to bring it into everything having to do with anything related to Jewishness. It’s sick and it’s definitely is from a hatred of Jews.
I cracked up, and honestly so did my entire Jewish family. I first watched this in a class at Hebrew School in a class about stereotypes of Jewish people on Broadway. Definetly a few stereotypes, but loved it.
@@songoffaerghusCame here from a FE3H x CEG crossover video, so your login name jumped out at me haha. though of course, adrestia is best country [this comment made by the Black Eagles Gang]
This song is more than perfect. I was expecting something good from Rebecca's mom coming, but this was more than i could wish! Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is my healing pill of all my disorders.
Dan Wilson Let's are used in a whole load of shows. same as Morley cigarettes. Since real brands can't be used they seem to have standard ones they use instead
I love how the music turns ominous at about 1:55 when she flushes. There was a tiny respite and now it's about to start again. Just brilliant all around.
Amazing job fitting in very typical and often unnoticed abuse many parents throw at their kids, especially in mother daughter relationships. 1.) Invasion of personal space, especially looking down her shirt. 2.) Infantilizing at the same time expecting adult behavior, but unwilling to be one themselves "Where's the bathroom, waaah, also you should make more money and be an adult! Your bathroom didn't have fancy soap, waaaah!". 3.) Blame of existence IE You owe me because I made you. 4.) Zillions of subtle and no less painful emotional/mental jabs at inadequacy, usefullness and character. IE fat, poor, emotionally damaged (Oh, I wonder why?!). 5.) The declaration that anything that any outsider can construe as un-okay behavior is fine, because "mother knows best/loves her child" 6.) A almost brief moment of realization coupled immediately by defense of actions that otherwise would never be okay to anyone else because "love." 7.) The idea that intent matters more than action, even when the actions hurt, if the intent was good, everything is forgiven FOR THEM, but not for you. 8.) Nothing but complaints and flaming. Feigned sympathy and a reaction of "You think you had it hard?!" Bravo. It's also telling when people see this and go "ha that's so my mother". No, that's abuse. It's just straight up abuse from the first line to the last, because everything out of her mouth is about how shit her child is, how much she owes her and how everything is her fault, even up to making the child think all these things with out the parent explicitly saying so. You don't owe your parents/guardians etc a damn thing. You being born into the circumstances and people who happen to raise you is not a choice. It's not a two way street relationship because of this. People choose to have kids, you have no opinion in the matter. The worst thing a parent can do is put this kind if "you owe me for having you" nonsense. You deserve to be here just like anyone else and if a parent, friend, spouse or anyone makes you feel otherwise or to question self-.worth, kick them to the curb. And if you think that about yourself, please seek therapy and get help. No one should suffer alone and everyone deserves to heal, especially from wounds they had no choice in having. Fantastic job from both actresses. That absolutely feels like a real dysfunctional not okay mother daughter relationship. This time in Jewish flavor!
So I watched this with my mother and without ever having seen it she was able to complete half the lyrics. She buries her hands and says "Oh god it's my mother. I'm not that awful, am I?" She's not, thankfully. XD
Nice to see that she has a lot of self-reflection on not wanting to be what her mother was like :) Unfortunately this is a common stereotype and reality of a person to deal with for a lot of people and that's really sad, because it's extremely abusive from the gas-lighting, emotional/mental jabs and all kinds of classic abuse tactics, in a fast paced anxiety fueled song. And the reason it perpetuates is because people don't see this as abuse, they see it as a caring if not stern nagging mother who only wants the best for her kid. Even if that's true, which I don't doubt that it is, this is not an okay way to treat any human being, especially not your kid. Intent matters, but it never defends bad action. Someone can love someone and abuse them, that's what makes abuse so difficult to see and deal with.
lol, in Israel will call it a "Polish Mama", the one who is always complaning, nagging, criticize and never satisfied with anything. Loves to give you the Jewish guilt. This video is so accurate and hilarious!
Shalom, I am from Poland... it's interesting that you call such a mother "Polish Mama", is there any particular reason why? are there more Polish references in Hebrew that come to your mind? thanks for any information :)
@@radosawkaas9803 There is another stereotype in Israel about the Polish (Jewish) woman/wife, usually very nagging, passive-aggressive and never satisfied. The common quote for her is "It's alright you don't have to come see me, I'll just stay here all alone, in the darkness, cold...." etc.
My mom is not as critical as this, but when shew comes to visit it does feel like a whirlwind, especially those first 10 minutes, so this hits the nail for me. The delivery from Tovah was amazing, and it is probably the song I have gone back to the most just cause it is such a fun performance and very recognizable.
If you look at it from a later point in the series, Momma Naomi sees Rebecca as her life gone right, before she had Rebecca. She was a high paid prestigious lawyer in New York, Naomi's dream. What Naomi never considered is that she could train to be a lawyer instead and live her dream herself instead of piling it on Rebecca to live through
Ive never been a fan of musicals, but Ive watched this particular scene 10 times today at least!! And Im ready to press PLAY again any second now. Tovah is absolutely brilliant!!
+Lynsey Brown You say that like the quanitity of suicides in your family has any bearing different from one, or none. Humanity is a spectrum, there are no labels worth defining us by except as a whole. Individually none of those typical labels exist
Very similar to my mother as well and I am Turkish. Maybe it has a lot to do with a tight family culture where "the child" is always treated like a child even when they are over 30?
Hey did anyone notice in the beginning when we first hear the West Covina song that it’s Greg’s mom who is the realtor showing Rebecca her new apartment? It’s so quick but she’s there lol.
How do I applaud Tovah Feldshuh via the internet? Or should I send the letter? Or a package with my severed hands tied together around spring, so when she opens the package they clap? After a moment I realized that sending the letter might be perceived creepy (who sends letters in this day and age), so...
"I don't mean it as an insult, I'm just stating it as fact." Is so relatable. The typical "I'm not being rude, but..."
and if you call them out it's "do you want me to lie"
my mom always says that to me
SO TRUE
Women projecting unrealistic beauty standards they suffer under onto their daughters is sadly way too fucking real

Have been a fan of yours for years. You were the best Peter Pan ever. Yeah, that was a long time ago!
I seriously hope this show someday gets adapted to Broadway as a musical. I can just imagine numbers like this bringing the house down.
zyxwut321 I immediately felt that brilliant Broadway spirit in the first episode! The creativity makes my heart burst!
Me too!
Why would a show this convoluted get an hour-and-a-half-long Broadway musical? Honestly, use the brain.
@@NovaLaMason It would have to be at least 4 hours (One per season) and that would be cutting a lot of songs

SO AGGRESSIVE
How so I can't find anybody in the comments talking about the line "Well, your house is DOT DOT DOT charming", that line had me rollin
Ohhh that's what she's saying! I've been relistening to this song but still wondering for years what she said...
Thank you lol it’s such a funny addition
@@aklevin same, I had no idea that's what she said. I thought it was a "Dah dah dah" for some reason

You gotta love the "when did you stop wearing makeup" when Rebecca is CLEARLY wearing makeup
Just having some subtle anxiety listening to this song, thanks to having a Jewish mother-in-law and a Chinese mother...
Oy.
😂
Oh, you poor thing.
Now I want to make the Chinese mother version of this
"Here's lots of food!"
I'm not even Jewish and this sounds like my mom.

korean mom. I can definitely relate.
Polish moms are the same. :D
Brazilian moms are the same.
Moms will be moms. It's one thing that unites all humanity
This song shows that love ISN'T enough for being a good parent. Naomi really loves Rebecca, but she IS a terrible and toxic parent.
Louder for the crowd in the back!
So true.
I can relate to this song, my mother was very similar. To the point i laughed of it only because i don't have her in my life anymore. Can you call something "love" when you never respect and never listen? I think it's more like an egoistic phantasy about being so great, not love

Tovah Feldshuh should at least get an Emmy nod for this great performance.
Jake Esmeralda The Emmys don't really give Crazy Ex Girlfriend its due in the acting department.
[runs around the house maniacally]
“It’s so nice to sit and talk”
I have a friend who's always singing this and he gets mad when I forget to do Rebecca's part
lol
PewPewGrrr friendship goals!
PewPewGrrr Well be a better friend and learn your lines lol
Honestly, your friend deserves better. Wheeere's yooour bathroom, where's your bathroom?!
HE?! Damn, I thought I was the only guy who liked the show and the songs that much :D
I mean, it's hard to be sympathetic if she really doesn't have any decorative soaps in her bathroom.
And no bowls of rocks?! The desolation.
Omg stop you’re giving me anxiety 😦
At least I have a bath matte
And she really needs a bath mat. It’s a safety issue.
Ever since I saw this, I feel some low level guilt that my bathroom doesn't have any bowls of rocks or decorative soaps.
So... small detail that's really great, Naomi says "I wasted all that dough on Harvard and Yale" and I thought it was kind of weird why she mentioned both Harvard and Yale.... and then I saw the season 2 finale... not gonna spoil what happens there, but it shows that the creators of this show were really planning things.
Wow! Well spotted! I didnt even notice and I sometime rewatch my favorite songs, of which is like number 3.
Rebecca went to Harvard for her undergrad and Yale for Law school
I actually just re-watched the series! They mention in episode 1 that she went to Yale when Paula talks about Rebecca's resume.
She spent all that money on HARVARD and Yale.
@@JustOneSpoon same! rewatching now haha
The overwhelm hits so hard when she sings the line, “A bishop in Wisconsin said something anti-Semitic so the temple has decided to boycott cheddar cheese”

dude why are you spoiling
She kissed Valencia earlier in the season.
Probably the highlight of the whole season frankly. Such a brilliant song

Tovah Feldshuh is a gem. She really lights up a scene. I still remember her from the early days of Law & Order.
0:54 I love the fact that she sang “well your house is dot dot dot charming.” 😂
It’s not ‘dot dot dot.’ It’s Yiddish ‘da da da’ like a long pause.
At 1:35, Rebecca actually holds her head with her hands, like she is on the verge of tears, 90 seconds after greeting her mother at the door.
My mother has literally said the bath mat line word for word. And my Bubby, the exezema thing is legit word for word
Most under rated cast member of the whole show. This is what perfection looks like.
This is the greatest entrance song in history
Ive never been a fan of musicals, but Ive watched this particular scene 10 times today at least!! And Im ready to press PLAY again any second now. Tovah is absolutely brilliant!!

Love the Jaws music as she waits for her mom and I always LOL at her startled look! 😅
I need to comeback here at least once a week and sing along to keep my mental sanity.

Greatest character introduction of all time.
The aggressive combing of the hair reminds me so much of my aunt and grandma. And also takes me back to their constant comments about my weight.

That’s why we don’t believe in Christ.
An accurate representation of having a Jewish mother.
TROOF
+Bees? or a Jewish grandmother
+Bees? There's a lot resemblance to my grandma (I'm Latin) and my relatives, lol
Very similar to my mother as well and I am Turkish. Maybe it has a lot to do with a tight family culture where "the child" is always treated like a child even when they are over 30?
Yea...my mother....the only difference is my mother speaks more yiddish phrases.
One of my favorite songs from any musical ever
Hey did anyone notice in the beginning when we first hear the West Covina song that it’s Greg’s mom who is the realtor showing Rebecca her new apartment? It’s so quick but she’s there lol.
Is that her? I don't think I noticed
Every mother's song and woes
1.) Where's the bathroom
This song is still so fun, funny, catchy, relatable, etc. Such a great way to introduce the mom character.
It just occurred to me how perfect of an intro song this is
I sent this to my therapist to TL;DR my relationship with my mom. It was really effective.
Yet another absolute pure perfection gem! Tovah was brilliant as Rebecca's mother. She totally killed this song.
This exemplifies every single conversation I have with my mom. 😉
Wow she should see a urologist (sorry I had to :D)
"if you're not gonna use it I'll return it to the store" 😂😂😂 this level of pettiness
"You're looking healthy and by healthy I mean chunky." I still love you mom and bubby.
I love how she sees not liking vases as more of a lesbian stereotype then not wearing make up.
my mom is an angel, and i have so much self-sabotaging anxiety that I get worried she'll act like this when I have any news
How do I applaud Tovah Feldshuh via the internet? Or should I send the letter? Or a package with my severed hands tied together around spring, so when she opens the package they clap?
After a moment I realized that sending the letter might be perceived creepy (who sends letters in this day and age), so...
Now sing it.
I love the jaws music when she is coming back. That’s exactly what it’s like
her mom's eyes are really blue they are so pretty
" it's the least you can do since you lived inside me for 9 months"😂😂😂😂😂

"When did you stop wearing make-up" Sure Rachel. Sure.
god, i wish my mom would sing like this everytime she's berating me
Love how they mirror each other at 0:46
I love how the captions for this are in ALL CAPS
This is exactly like my inner monolog. Fast, anxiety-inducing, and inexplicably musical.
I love this song so much. This feels exactly like a conversation she's had before.
Funny thing is, my mom actually found this show before I did. So instead of showing this song to her, she showed the song to me
"It's the least you can do" while combing her hair 😂
oh god this song makes me feel like I am living back home with my parents lol
brilliant song with brilliant acting
This song was so amazing because it puts you right in the stressful situation that Rebecca is on. Love when a show puts on a place like that.
I've been a fan of Tovah's since the 70's. She was an amazing actress back then and she's perfect for this role.
Just realised she said Harvard and Yale foreshadowing the fact she got kicked out and had to move
I listen to this song at least twice a week. It reminds me of days long past. The writers are geniuses, but you gave it life!
This song is so universal! Everyone’s mama has pulled some variation of this b4 😂
Eh...sad but true. 🤷
Best character introduction
i can't with that final 'agaaaain' 😂
nailed the over bearing emotionally abusive narcissistic mother so well.
