The One Where Joey Tribbiani Attempts to Speak Hebrew… and Fails

Don’t ask why the following video of the cast of Friends shilling for the “world-famous” Chabad Telethon exists. Or why Joey Tribbiani, aka Matt LeBlanc, from Friends, Joey and Married with Children fame, is so connected with the good people of Chabad. The video is at once baffling and, at the same time, completely understandable. You can’t really expect Joey to say anything in Hebrew without cracking himself up…

But the Friends/Chabad link doesn’t end there… in fact, the stars of the shit sitcom Joey also taped a little spot for the Telethon. And with good reason. If you’ve never seen the show, regardless of religion, it’s pretty much the most entertaining televised charity function ever. Picture Jon Voight deidle-deidle-deeing around a stage with a group of Orthodox Jews for 3 hours straight, and you’ll begin to get some idea of what it’s about. (The next one will air on September 13.)

Click ahead for the “LOLs”, as they say.



Here’s that above commercial in its final stage:
