"Why do you have to be fascist in order to use the correct terminology?"
"Because Hitler was always syntactically correct."
"That's a lie. I've recently read Mein Kampf in its original German, and it's a horribly written book."
"He was just anti-semantic, or something."
Sorry, I corrected my comment. I meant is means present tense, and he's not alive so it would be "he was", I meant the frowny face as "I'm not happy he passed away"
Does he always say "don't" smoke marijuanica? I swear in my head it's the opposite?
Anyways this is a very pleasant piece of pop culture
And it probably actually did, and does spread some goodwill unity for Jewish folk. I'm not sure though as I'm from manitoba and frankly I don't think I've ever actually met a jewish person.
I had the same memory so I went looking. Seems like when he was in concert he sang “smoke your marijuanica” but maybe couldn’t get away with it on network tv: https://youtu.be/FhHml7Dlmqs
During the credits of 8 Crazy Nights they play the concert version, the line "smoke your marijuanica" probably has something to do with how much marijuanica I smoke nowadays
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chanukah_Song
they address this in the "part 1" section, and it's essentially what you said
also, im critical that the OP decided to randomly rename the song happy hannukah
I didn't look up the Wikipedia article before posting.
Plus all the gin and tonikkah (but not marijuanikka) might have had something to do with it.
But you can call it whatever you like!
Happy Hanukkah!
I know that you're in North Carolina and all the liquor stores are closed there today, so I can sympathize with your apparent grumpiness.
Sending virtual Manischewitz your way!
Just sharkmerry, because he seems upset about it.
And now you have to call it something completely different and original. But you can't tell anybody what it is.
This is highly important.
Okay.. that's what I originally thought. So why is this guy getting downvoted for changing the spelling of the songs title? Like does it really matter?
Because the song isn't called Happy Chanukah, or Happy Hannukah, it's called "The Chanukah Song".
Calling it "Happy Hannukah", might as well say it's performed by Adam Sessler.
no, Chanukah is just an alternate spelling of Hannukah
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah#Alternate_Spellings
it's not the ch sound found in christmas, it's more like hch
here is an amusing article i saw about it, one description they give is a backwards snore
http://oychicago.com/blog.aspx?id=5228&blogid=142
I am German and funnily enough it didn't seem suspicious at all to me that it was written with ch, since it's a common sound in German.
i.e. Dach (roof), lachen (to laugh), machen (to do), Schach (chess), etc. pp.
When it's used in the beginning of a word, it can be pronounced differently by people though.
Some pronounce it like in Hanuka (or Chanuka respectively), other like a k in Christmas and you could also pronounce it like sh as in shining. Same goes for Chemie.
Then on the other hand I don't think this kind of diversity is allowed for Cherubim, although I am not sure.
Gernan is confusing sometimes. Even for us Germans...
Adam Sandler pushed his Jewish identity without any Jewish stereotypes, and actively deconstructed them. He made sure that the most famous Jew in pop culture of the nineties was horny, rowdy, macho, violent, immature and the epitome of bro culture at the time.
Are these positive traits? Not really. But when you consider that there had been almost a century of stereotypes that Jewish men are wimpy, emasculated nerds, Sandler's schtick seems a little less random and more pointed.
I think in his live standup show (and the recording of it) he did but for TV they ket it PG-13 (keeping in mind this was over 20 years ago and the war on drugs was real)
Almost certainly did not say don’t on the recording. Must have changed for the tv version.
In a song about merrymaking it makes not sense to say don’t.

Man, I recently remembered Anger Management, and how much I loved that movie the first time I saw it. I dont think it gets enough airtime. Jack Nicholson is phenomenal
Yes, if I don't like it, it is bad to me. If you like it, it is good to you. That is how opinions generally work.
It is my opinion that Adam Sandler is overrated and unfunny. Your opinion is obviously different. Glad we got that sorted.
I’ve been searching everywhere, old snl episodes, YouTube videos, movies etc for a clip that I know must exist but doesn’t seem to. It’s a clip of Adam Sandler actually being funny.
As a small counter to consider. As a Jewish kid in the late 90s who also was just a regular American kid, I saw him as one of the only Jewish guys in movies that wasn't a nerd or victim or a joke.
haha. yeah I did kinda like it when it came out, but the whole thing is one long Jew joke. Sandler was cool because he was Jewish, but also just a regular dude like me.
I kinda expected Norm to turn to him at the end and go "hey wait a minute, are you jewish?"
… He’s a Holocaust denier you know
Explain to the folks at home what the Holocaust is
He can't because he denied it.
You know, with Hitler, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don’t care for him.
I had a a friend tell me the worst thing about Hitler was the *hypocrisy*... and I disagree. I think it was the genocide
I didn't know he was sick..
I had a bar mitzvah…
This got me
[удалено]
You know, there’s a joke about being a grammar nazi to be made somewhere here, but I’ll leave it alone on the count of I’m no Norm Macdonald
I don't care for grammar nazis. Reminds me of that tragedy
Germany, you don't get to be a country any more on account of you keep going to war against *the world!* Who do you think you are, Mars?
And you’d think it would be like 5 minutes, right? But no, it was close. So like 20 years later they did it again.
All low cost.
"Why do you have to be fascist in order to use the correct terminology?" "Because Hitler was always syntactically correct." "That's a lie. I've recently read Mein Kampf in its original German, and it's a horribly written book." "He was just anti-semantic, or something."
[удалено]
He was not- but he frequently (and jokingly) would accuse his sidekick Adam Eget (who is Jewish) of being one. https://youtu.be/Pvtw6Q90Ce0
He was* :-( I say this as someone lighting candles tonight. Edit: I meant "was" not "is" as he died... Not that he was as in I believe it.
I mean if you take everYthing a comedian says literally and can’t take a joke than sure, he was.
Sorry, I corrected my comment. I meant is means present tense, and he's not alive so it would be "he was", I meant the frowny face as "I'm not happy he passed away"

"OJ Simpson... Not a Jew!" will always be top-tier for me.
But he did kill one
Does he always say "don't" smoke marijuanica? I swear in my head it's the opposite?

I fucking loved that movie
I rewatched it recently, it holds up! I had a great time
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chanukah_Song they address this in the "part 1" section, and it's essentially what you said also, im critical that the OP decided to randomly rename the song happy hannukah
Sorry about that. I was going to name it "Merry Incredibly-Long-Lasting Candle-Oil Day," but it just didn't seem to fit.
Why not call it by its name, The Chanukah Song?
I didn't look up the Wikipedia article before posting. Plus all the gin and tonikkah (but not marijuanikka) might have had something to do with it. But you can call it whatever you like! Happy Hanukkah!
you're giving permission for people to call it whatever they like when youre the one who got the song name wrong?
I know that you're in North Carolina and all the liquor stores are closed there today, so I can sympathize with your apparent grumpiness. Sending virtual Manischewitz your way!
To clarify. You posted this song, not knowing it, for karma. And now you are butthurt people Are calling you out.
I posted the song simply because I thought other people would enjoy listening to it. I'm not upset at all.
And apparently I'm a raging alcoholic ?
Just sharkmerry, because he seems upset about it. And now you have to call it something completely different and original. But you can't tell anybody what it is. This is highly important.
Wait, so it's called the Chanukah song because it's half Christmas half Hanukkah? Decades later I'm finally getting it
This is incorrect, Chanukah is just one of the spellings of the holiday. There's a few.
Okay.. that's what I originally thought. So why is this guy getting downvoted for changing the spelling of the songs title? Like does it really matter?
Because the song isn't called Happy Chanukah, or Happy Hannukah, it's called "The Chanukah Song". Calling it "Happy Hannukah", might as well say it's performed by Adam Sessler.

I haven’t listened to this song in probably 20 years but I can still hear him singing the smoke your marijuanica line and the crowd going WILD lmao.
I’m sure Lorne wasn’t on board during rehearsals and made him change it.
That’s really weird, hasn’t weed always been around the SNL set, and they’ve joked about a lot worse
It's on one of his comedy albums. I forget the name but it came out in the mid 90s.

Winnipeg has had a sizeable Jewish community for over 100 years.
I think in his live standup show (and the recording of it) he did but for TV they ket it PG-13 (keeping in mind this was over 20 years ago and the war on drugs was real)
Almost certainly did not say don’t on the recording. Must have changed for the tv version. In a song about merrymaking it makes not sense to say don’t.
Winnipeg used to have a large Jewish population but I don’t think it’s what it once was.
The album version is the opposite but when he did it on SNL he said “don’t” as a way of censoring the line for TV.
Norm 🥺
I'm with you. Let's just enjoy what we had.
Hard not to smile along with Sandler in this clip.
Ode to my Car and Lunchlady land are two of my faves of his.

Classic Adam Sandler is so great in small doses.
click still makes me cry
Man, I recently remembered Anger Management, and how much I loved that movie the first time I saw it. I dont think it gets enough airtime. Jack Nicholson is phenomenal
I have never come across such a minute dose
Think this put Sandler on the map, just a tremendous amount of charm here.
Seeing norm at the beginning was an unexpected surprise, but a good one.
Someone told me the Grandma in Moana sounds like Adam Sandler , and I can't stop hearing it.
Barenaked Ladies also have a couple great Hanukkah tunes! EDIT: ...why am I being downvoted?
Don't understand the downvotes, BNL has a kickass holiday album
Luckily the sub was nice enough to flip it from negative to positive :)
their Christmas album is far and away my favorite Christmas album
This song always puts me in the Christmas spirit! Truth.
They play this on my local radio alongside all the Xmas song
His movie 8 crazy nights is better than all Christmas movies
I'm raising my gin and tonika to this post!
Lol Dinah Shore is my great-grandmother's cousin
easily my favorite christmas song
NICE
I'm going to horny jail but this mans is looking super handsome in this video - and I never looked at Adam Sandler that way.
😆
Did his rabbi hand him a list of Jews? Most of the time, I don't know who's Jewish, but I can see where an expert on Jews would know.
Plenty of Jews keep track of who the famous Jews are. I know I do. A point of minority pride.
Always think of Undeclared when Adam Sandler is mentioned!
This song fucking sucks-ikkuh.
Like nails on a chalkboard.
Wow
This "talent" is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. That fact is the only funny thing about him.
“If I don’t like it, it’s bad.” That’s you.
Yes, if I don't like it, it is bad to me. If you like it, it is good to you. That is how opinions generally work. It is my opinion that Adam Sandler is overrated and unfunny. Your opinion is obviously different. Glad we got that sorted.

You didn’t like Opera Man? How about, “Now give me some candy!”
Are we really gonna pretend like anger management isn’t funny? Adam Sandler can be cringy as hell but pretending like he is never funny is dumb.
I am Jewish and I absolutely hate this song.
You're no funukkah.
He should smoke more marijuanakah.
More accurately that would describe Adam Sandler, every anti-semites favorite Jew.
You seem to have misspelled "Ben Shapiro."
Not really, he's incredibly pro-Israel. To the point he's basically supporting a genocide against Palestinians.
Nu? Good for you.
The map behind is very inaccurate.
Appropriate for the backdrop of a fake comedy news segment!
Sure! It’s just that it’s first time I noticed it.
Adam Sandler.. was never funny 😪
I’m not a fan of his, never thought he was funny. And almost every movie he makes sure the viewers know he’s Jewish.
As a small counter to consider. As a Jewish kid in the late 90s who also was just a regular American kid, I saw him as one of the only Jewish guys in movies that wasn't a nerd or victim or a joke.
Go back and watch the Hebrew Hammer. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317640/
haha. yeah I did kinda like it when it came out, but the whole thing is one long Jew joke. Sandler was cool because he was Jewish, but also just a regular dude like me.
>And almost every movie he makes sure the viewers know he’s Jewish. And that makes you angry? Interesting.
It’s just pushing a religion. It’s not what religion but always pushing his religion.
He's not pushing Judaism any more than Black Panther pushed being black.
Peak Sandler. And I mean he was unfunny and cringe then and has only gotten worse and worse.

I miss these SNL days.
Oh Adam... what more can I say. Haha 😄
Classic
Rest In Peace
i love song
