Great work! I wonder if this was not translated in the original in order to show Gold's perspective and to make Mr.wrench appear more menacing. Having the translation shows the brotherly relationship between the two hitmen, and it gives you a better sense of Mr. wrench's personality. I second the request for a translation for the other clips.
I think part of it is to make the (non-signing) audience feel as off-balance as deaf people do in the many many many situations in which everybody is talking without bothering to tell the deaf person what is going on. And it’s also akin to a hilarious Easter egg for those of us who are fluent lol.
I know enough ASL to understand most of what he said, so while i was watching this show with my sister i laughed at the questions he asked and I got the weirdest look from her haha
Okay, that swordfish thing is cracking’ me up. I didn’t know he said all those things. Although I could figure he said something about sex position based on his gesture.
okay, so in the 1st episode. Lester was talking to a couple who were having a baby and was trying to get insurance. The man says he works in a library. but there is no library.. whaaa 🤯
hm. Perhaps Mr. Wrench saying they were gonna slit his throat was foreshadowing, much like the beginning of Season 2 with *THE MASSACRE AT SIOUX FALLS*
all this time i thought their sign language was invented and didnt really mean anything and still thought it was hilarious that they took so much time to anwser the simplest questions
nope. ASL is it's own language, therefore having it's own syntax and grammar. ASL's sentence structure is usually very quick and to the point, no embellishments. The type of signing you're talking about would be Signed Exact English, which has a sign or spelling for every single word in an English sentence. It's very exhausting to do, not to mention more time consuming. There's plenty of websites that explain the difference if you want to learn more about it!
This scene infuriates me, Minnesota is one of the state with the highest libraries per capita. There are two public libraries and a University Library, the writer badly failed reality in this case, and Bemidji is a city of 15,000 not a town of about 2,000 like the series portrays
The guy with his wife getting insurance at the start of episode 1 said he worked at a library. It’s not that there isn’t a library, it’s that someone here is either wrong, or lying.
I asked my dad (he knows ASL) to watch this scene with no subtitles. He started laughing pretty quick.
Mr Wrench is massive

The drums are so badass

Age, sex and location?
Please, please do the scene in Lester's office. Mr. Wrench looks so mocking; I'm dying to know what he says!

Mr. Numbers was my favorite character in the series
Lol he really asked about the tie? HAhahah that's great.
No Library? That's strange, because the young man that inquires about an insurance policy from Lester says he works at the library.
But in fact he works on car sales. He just lied to Lester to get rid of him.
this scared the shit out of me when i first watched it because i didn't know what they intended to do.
now i'm just like LOL
Could you also translate the scene when they first confront Lester?
Agreed!
Still remember watching the intro for this episode for the first time. Knew it would be a banger, how could it not be?

good point
its the same dude that works on car sales on the last ep
Probably why Wrench was so annoyed.
@@daneba9488ahh that's where I recognized him from. I just finished bingeing the first season.
Anything to get an insurance salesman to shut up
The swordfish bit 😂
Thank you for uploading this!
Omg this is so awesome!!!!
I don't think we needed a translation for the last bit xD
Wow this conversation is fucking hilarious!
Very nice. thanks.
Thank you so much 💜
Have a wonderful day
Thank you so much for this!

Gracias!
Oooo the hitmens sound is the best
mr numbers mr wrench
Came here for the drumline
Tell him that wannabe cowboy jacket makes him look like he’s on the spectrum
I love these two, man! 😭🤣🤣
while speaking no sign language at all, I though for some reason that they were just signing gibberish (imitating a sign language) in this TV show
Thank you!
all this time i thought their sign language was invented and didnt really mean anything and still thought it was hilarious that they took so much time to anwser the simplest questions
Thing is dosent asl in general have a ton of local dialect or is even completly different in other parts of the world ?
This was sooo fucking good!!
Is he the same guy eddie in friends show?
Yes
Mike got a lot more badass since the 70s
No idea who that is.
@@Highran56Chewy is referencing Adam Goldberg's character in Dazed and Confused, who was a very awkward and geeky high schooler.
if I understood correctly, for each gesture there's one word yeah? for prepositions too?
just a question

you're taking "this is a true story" quite literally man.....
The guy with his wife getting insurance at the start of episode 1 said he worked at a library. It’s not that there isn’t a library, it’s that someone here is either wrong, or lying.
Which is probably why he was puzzled the town had no library?
Duh what for
The music is obnoxious.
