If you ever want to understand where I come from and my sense of humor, welcome to my people!

This is hysterically funny and deadly serious.

This is so funny.......I, too, am Italian and completely understand how they talk. It's normal to me!

@Cookie2025 I don't think it was included in these clips but one mayor wanted to know why everyone had become an Olympian all of the sudden. "I know you. You haven't had a run since primary school." 😂

@Laura14 , I saw some of these earlier in the week, and I just love them.

@Patriot3 The sarcastic outrage really is an art form unique to us. It was like having my grandparents and 10 thousand aunts and uncles screaming at me again.

I saw this early this morning while I was having my coffee and immediately fell in love with each of these men.

My grandparents came from Scicily as teens -- their marrige was somewhat "arranged." They lived in Brooklyn, and we would visit every summer.

Hearing them speak to each other is one of my favorite memories. Even when they were angry and yelling, it was like music.

Such a beautiful language....such sadness for a wonderful people and country.

@Witchy Woman I am a first generation Italian/American. My Dad came from southern Italy. Yes, they did yell a lot, but always ended up w/a smile. Love our people.

@Laura14 Oh, I know! It was hysterical when they would all yell. But, as I said in another post, it all ended w/a smile and laughter. Some people just don't understand our humor!

@Patriot3 Amen!

During Gov. Cuomo's Sunday daily press briefing, he described his Italian family's Sunday dinner gathering. It was wonderful to hear his description of his childhood experience surrounding this time. His words give me comfort and hope, hard things to come by lately.

@Laura14 Too funny!

Some of the men in that clip reminded me of Sophia Loren in the movies Marriage Italian Style & Divorce Italian Style. Italian females know how to give a "beat down" w/their (Italian) words. As a non-Italian I didn't understand a word she said, but I knew exactly what she meant.

@Mz iMac I don't think they could do an Italian female mayor version. Between the language and the broom and/or foot up everyone's behind, it might be deemed criminal behavior. 😂🧹

Love it. I lived in a predominantly Italian and Greek neighborhood in Queens, NY for almost 20 years and grew up with a lot of kids from Italian families on Long Island. This was funny stuff here. And I totally get it.

Doesn't remind me of the OP, however.
