so exodus says that aaron stretched out his hand over the waters and the frog came up and covered the land of egypt and while english translators usually render “frog” as “frogs,” today at shul the rabbi challenged us to consider whether it could in fact have been one giant frog so we spent literally forty-five minutes arguing about whether there were swarms of frogs from the beginning or rather a single monstrous godzilla frog that split into multiple frogs once people started trying to destroy it and the congregation got so worked up that even after we’d sung aleinu and were heading out of the sanctuary people were still excitedly debating the moral implications of one frog versus many so what i’m trying to say is @judaism never change

So. Story time. I work at a camp over the summer shadowing one of the kiddos. And one of the kids in the group was a grade-a meme lover and he had never seen this video before. So I showed it to him and he laughed hysterically, nonstop, for about 30 minutes, going so far as to keel over to catch his breath.
I thought that was the end of that, but no. This kid comes back the next day, holding a coin and recites the entire commercial that this god forsaken video was from.
He drops the coin and yells in the most dramatic fashion and so the rest of his friend group comes over and he teaches them the skit and pretty soon all of them are doing it at the same time, saying ‘ees nanarro HOH’ and then yelling.
And that’s how I got an entire group of campers to recite a foreign meme.
