In a recent video circulating on Reddit, comedian Max Amini delivers a side-splitting yet controversial performance that has left audiences both amused and "offended". The clip, which showcases Amini's interaction with a sign language interpreter, has sparked a wave of reactions and discussions online.

The video begins with Amini asking the interpreter to sign various languages, starting with "Farsi". His exaggerated and humorous interpretations of the signs quickly escalate, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings. For instance, Amini suggests that the sign for "Farsi" translates to "a bunch of nonsense coming out of your mouth." He then moves on to "Spanish", which he humorously interprets as a sexual gesture, causing roars of laughter from the audience.

Amini's comedic riff continues as he addresses the sign for "Arabic", likening it to a "rock and roll" gesture. He humorously speculates that Arabs must have paid a premium to have the coolest sign, while making the Farsi sign appear less favorable. This playful banter highlights Amini's sharp wit and ability to engage the audience with his unique perspective on cultural and linguistic nuances.

The video has garnered a plethora of responses from viewers. One user humorously commented, "Wait til you see the sign for [abortion.](https://youtu.be/v0NbSnzhTiE)", while another expressed interest in exploring the full range of signs for different languages. The conversation even delved into the complexities of sign language across various cultures, with one user noting, "Each language has their own sign language. In the video, we only see how to sign those words in American Sign Language."

Max Amini's performance has certainly struck a chord with audiences, as evidenced by comments like "who is this guy, that was laughable" and "Max Amini has bombed all my feeds on Yt and reddit." However, some viewers questioned the accuracy of his interpretations, with one user pointing out, "It would be funny if any of the signs the comedian made were actually the ones the sign language interpreter was making."

Despite the mixed reactions, it's clear that Amini's comedic take on sign language has resonated with many, sparking both laughter and thoughtful discussions. For those interested in exploring more of Amini's humor, this video is a must-watch.

I’m now interested in the full gamut of signs for languages

Yeah but at least Farsi speakers have Gulf naming rights. Arabs would swap sign language signs in a heartbeat for the world calling the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf

Each language has their own sign language. In the video, we only see how to sign those words in American Sign Language.
