Mom gets a call. Written by John Roberts/Clay Weiner. Starring John Roberts. Directed by Clay Weiner. Edited by Jesse Reisner. DP Drew DeNicola. Exclusive Premiere/HBO Comedy Festival. 2007
Shows just how much good acting can make up for a lack in props, set, etc... despite the makeup being (purposely) cheap and horrible he sells the acting so well that I only see the character.
I can't get over the fact that I watched this video years ago and now Bob's Burger's is one of my favorite shows and I had no idea that this is where Linda came from!
I can't thank you enough for putting this video up. My mom is almost 70 and she is SERIOUSLY like this. I show it to her and I have NEVER heard her laugh so hard! She kept pointing to the video and saying "OH MY GOODNESS! THAT IS ME!!" Thanks for letting us have a moment :-)
My best friend and I still quote this video to this DAY. Every time one of us has to let the other go on the phone, we say "Alright hun." Neva. Gets. Old.
I can’t get enough of it - you have to have lived this to pick up on every subtle detail 😂😂😂 coming from a New Yorker it’s so painfully accurate this is all of my Italian aunts
I can't, I'm dying😂😂😂. She is walking around the house with a short phone cord in the garage, in the toilet, and cleaning. Mean while there's a cordless phone right there on the counter. LoL 😂. My mother would do something similar like that. SMH 🤣
Literally this is so spot on I literally am not even laughing because my mom does this shit and it's almost like they are teasing you about you are not hearing and they refuse to tell you what's going on. Great video, we need to spread the word.
"She's losin' it. She's losin' it. That's what she does. No because if you don't--if you don't do it she--exactly." -> my mom on the phone with her sister about their mother.
Me on the phone with my mom about my dad, then calling my best friend to spill the tea lmao. I had no idea 14 years ago watching this, that someday this would be me 😂
LOL, this is such a Long Island person. I grew up on L.I. and I know so many people like that, walking around their houses and stretching out their phone cords. Freaking hilarious!
This is just like my mom on the phone with one of her friends. The funny thing is, I showed her this video and she thought it was funny, but didn't recognize herself at all!
Everyone on here can agree if you grew up in northern new jersey this is OUR mothers to a tee!!!!! especially the part when she shusses them to be quiet, and when she stops the vacumn cause of a reaction to the callers story, "with the kids in the car!' It scared me how acurate he was portraying this " Northern New Jersey mother" I am convinced he knows my mother! Great job had me laughing til the end! I NEVER get sick of it!!!!
HAHAHA John Roberts, i have watched this video like, 2.000,000.000 times. and i laugh everytime. You like created my laugter whenever i feel down i just quote "Cuz if you don't do it, ..... exactly" and i just LAUGH ahhahaha THANK YOU!
"Because he's an asshole, that's why" LOL... I don't know why this was so funny but I laughed my ass off! And for the love of god Bubbie... how long is that damn phone cord!
"Are you kidding me? With the kids in the car? I can't stand it. I can't stand it!"
I hate to say it but she's losing it. She's losing it.
The cordless phone at the end of the video always gets me.
violettheory j0
I think it's that she wore out the battery on the cordless so she's on the regular phone now.
@@DinoSarma i never thought of that, that makes sense!!
My mom died in 2010 but anytime I miss her I just watch this over and over. So her. So every NY mom. "All a sudden she's playin' dumb" 🤣❤️
Lmao, that would me. 😂🤣
And my condolences to you for your mom. I'm sure she was a gem. 💕
And my condolences to you for your mom. I'm sure she was a gem. 💕
I love it! I bet she was awesome
This is honestly such a work of art in retrospective. The aesthetic. The minimalism. The nostalgia.
Shows just how much good acting can make up for a lack in props, set, etc... despite the makeup being (purposely) cheap and horrible he sells the acting so well that I only see the character.
@@bubastis6306 Absolutely
Mum's are the only human who can use a vacuum and still talk and hear on the phone
“With the kids in the car???” pops into my head like once a month
It’s really insane how he NAILS the mom-isms. Brilliant acting and work! He so deserves what came to him. Love You John!
Now look at the tree!
i'm concerned that this is my mother. there are direct quotes
"she's losin' it." "GASP i can't stand it."
"Alright stay outside" (to the dog)
see kay ikr
are you my long lost sibling? I swear my mother said the same exact things. I remember avoiding that long twisty cord for dear life.
Right down to the hair 😂
The "All of a sudden she's playing dumb now." line always gets me. 😂
I wonder if she's on the phone with Ginger.
HAHA probably.
*Laughing hysterically before hanging up* "Gingers cat died.. BUT IN A REALLY FUNNY WAY HAHA"
@@astrowiz3544Ginger is getting something that rhymes with shmutt shmemroid surgery
😂
😂🤣
Definitely
I can't get over the fact that I watched this video years ago and now Bob's Burger's is one of my favorite shows and I had no idea that this is where Linda came from!
ChaoticMatters that is so beautiful
@@cg6267 I always forget about it and rediscover it every couple of years too lol
When i first watch bobs burgers I knew Linda sounded familiar. Took me a couple years to realize John did these videos before voicing Linda!
“I had no idea!”
"All of a sudden, she's playing dumb now."
Lol That's one of my favorite lines in this. lol
this is one of THE best videos ever uploaded to youtube
I can't thank you enough for putting this video up. My mom is almost 70 and she is SERIOUSLY like this. I show it to her and I have NEVER heard her laugh so hard! She kept pointing to the video and saying "OH MY GOODNESS! THAT IS ME!!" Thanks for letting us have a moment :-)
So true my mom too she was like oh damn I’m humbly accepting this roast
My best friend and I still quote this video to this DAY. Every time one of us has to let the other go on the phone, we say "Alright hun." Neva. Gets. Old.
showing the cordless phone sitting there killed me.
haha sounds just like my mom!! I laughed throughout the whole thing!!
Did not expect to see you here
2+3 = Rubik’s cube
In the Video he’s acting like a 51 year old woman
That's my aunt. 😂🤣
"Ah you kidding me?! STAAAHP-it!"
Still say this all the time. Remember watching this back when it came out! So good.
I can’t get enough of it - you have to have lived this to pick up on every subtle detail 😂😂😂 coming from a New Yorker it’s so painfully accurate this is all of my Italian aunts
These videos remind me of being a kid in Brooklyn in the late 80s. 100% dead on.
John roberts is THE greatest mother imitator
he's got that role down
I can't, I'm dying😂😂😂. She is walking around the house with a short phone cord in the garage, in the toilet, and cleaning. Mean while there's a cordless phone right there on the counter. LoL 😂. My mother would do something similar like that. SMH 🤣
11 years later and this is still my favorite video on UA-cam
OMG!! I grew up in Brooklyn, NY & this is so my mom!!
I agree that many NY moms act like this, but this is SO a NJ accent. Through and through.
No because if you don’t...if you don’t it then.. exactly
Literally this is so spot on I literally am not even laughing because my mom does this shit and it's almost like they are teasing you about you are not hearing and they refuse to tell you what's going on.
Great video, we need to spread the word.
this video is so ahead of its time holy hell
"She's losin' it. She's losin' it. That's what she does. No because if you don't--if you don't do it she--exactly." -> my mom on the phone with her sister about their mother.
One of my favorite lines from this video. 😂 I totally could relate to it.
WITH THA KIDS IN THA CAR??
*CAH
I laughed out loud at this. If you grew up in NJ or LI, you know have to appreciate this.
Long Island mom!
A million percent
That hangup and pick up at the end 😹😹😹😹
Any woman born before 1990 has done this with a cord phone
This guy is so funny.
He needs to have his own show.
“Guess who I just talked to. YEAH! HAHA!!”
So Linda haha
The apparently infinitely long cord sent me.
BEST PART:
0.10-0.22
you never get old!
Me on the phone with my mom about my dad, then calling my best friend to spill the tea lmao. I had no idea 14 years ago watching this, that someday this would be me 😂
the best is when he's wiping the cabinets and goes "right cuz if you don't... EXACTLYY" HAHAHAHA
I'm from a huge Brooklyn family and This is so real to life I can't stand it.
It’s painfully accurate for us
This is SO Long Island. I can't even deal.
"Well you just get there real early..."
right out of the bathroom
HAHAHA i died
LOL, this is such a Long Island person. I grew up on L.I. and I know so many people like that, walking around their houses and stretching out their phone cords. Freaking hilarious!

These videos are still some of the best content on UA-cam I love them so much
I asked my husband if I sound like this and he just started nodding and laughing 😂. Been out of NY 10 years and apparently this never goes away 🤣
"Alright, stay outside.." OMG me to my dogs. 😂😂😂
"With the kids in the car" God its so perfect
Linda when she is talking on the phone with ginger:
Still so good. Timeless!
0:17 - 0:19
My mom does these EXACT motions when she's on the phone!! Bahahahah!
"He's selfish!" Ahahahaha! Omg! Thats my mom right there. She talks on the fone and still does her daily routines!! Encore, encore, encore!
"I can't stand it" Hahahaha!!!
Classic. Forever a favorite!
This is a disturbingly accurate video
My mom was the queen of the landline wall-mount phone in our kitchen. I heard that thing get slammed pretty often lol
This is just like my mom on the phone with one of her friends. The funny thing is, I showed her this video and she thought it was funny, but didn't recognize herself at all!
Wait, she has a cordless phone right there! 😂😂😂 I love this
Definitely a new york mom, my mom to a T lol
It's 2022 and still watching this great video!
