YouTube Tuesday: Ramadan

It's that time of week again! One of my favorite channels is GoRemy. He's a genius. His parents are Iraqi and Lebanese; but he was born and raised in Northern Virginia. So he "gets" the culture, but isn't constrained by it. A rare man that, I hope, can have some sort of influence for good. One of his most recent parodies was even featured on all the major news networks. It's title: 'Raise the Debt Ceiling'. Pay close attention to "Sen. Fran Tarpington's" monologue. (1:26 - 1:35) Musical & magical!


"I got a monetary plan and it involves a lotta toner"

And maybe some of his Middle Eastern humor is only funny to me (it's so hilarious because it's true). You've got to listen to the lyrics a couple of times. He crams so much into each verse! This is his video addition for Ramadan.



Also, I think the magic of his vids is the re-watchability (yeah, it is to a word --> urban dictionary) I can't post all of his videos on here, but here's a few I recommend.

Hey there Khalilah
Oh what a day it's been!
The Falafel Song
Why they Fought
Hummus: The Rap
Shamkhwow
Saudis in Audis
