my sister knows someone that was on this show. it's pretty fake, most of them have been living in the city for years after leaving the amish. they just revert for the show and pretend they are just newly left
Would like to add that a lot of abuse against women happens in Amish communities. Generally, their women are treated like shit. They also have pretty harsh punishments when someone goes "off course" from the rules and beliefs. It can go as far as banishing the person from the community and their family
The men pick up a trade. Single women are discouraged from trying to take up a trade, as it is frowned upon. In Amish communities, women are 2nd class citizens who are meant to marry young, cook, clean, and have babies.
They've already left the Amish community. My brother lives near some Amish in Kentucky and they don't act anything like that. Shy, quiet people who keep to themselves. About the only interaction they have with the "English" (as they call everyone who isn't Amish) is selling them fresh produce, baked goods and jam at roadside stands.
+Jeff Morse My brother said that he seen a whole group of them at the greyhound station in Virginia. I'm not sure why that was so funny to me, but it was.
I took a trip to the Grand Canyon recently and saw some Amish people for the first time. As dumb as it sounds I was so shocked haha I would've loved to try some of their food or have a nice chat with them
THIS SHOW IS FAKE. Real Amish people don't behave like this, and they have accents...English is their second language. These are not real Amish people at all....
If you're ever in Lancaster, PA, try to stop at one of the Amish restaurants : ) Their breakfast is serious man ; P Much Peace and Love to Everybody : )
+houseofaction Do you know anyone at all who is amish? Since when is "Barbie" or Barbara a amish name? Show me one clip where these "Amish" speak at least one sentence in Pennsylvania Dutch. Anyway, TLC is such a trustworthy channel ;-)
KingWak first of all its actually called Pennsylvania German and second off all if you actually watched the above video you can hear them speaking in it. also Barbara is actually commonly used by the Amish.
Bit late, but yes they certainly are actors. Modern Amish might not have the heavy Pennsylvania Dutch/German accents that the older generations have, but they certainly do not have the Northern Californian accents these people display either.
Robbert van Eijndhoven everyone of the people on this show are former members of the Amish community this is an irrefutable fact. they simply had already left. i have met former members of the community and unless speaking in Pennsylvania German they have normal accidents
This show is such bull because these people left the amish community, so they're not really even amish anymore and they're just made to wear the costumes for the show.
+Joja Lee learn what rumspringa is please- just because one is on rumspringa, doesnt mean they have left the community or their ways- only when they make the final decision of returning to the community or to the church can it be said if leaving said community and church that they are no longer apart of the amish community- also keep in mind that once they have made the final decision- they can never return- like a form of banishment, meaning family, friends, neighbors, loved ones- if you choose english life- u leave behind all else- thus why some decide to spend years away while on rumspringa- so they understand what they are choosing and what they are going to give up for it
+VampireWillowRain There is actually quite a bit of controversy about just how staged the show was. This article gives a decent overview: www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/24/is-breaking-amish-fake-tlc_n_1909476.html This is a more detailed write-up with additional sources: jezebel.com/5949245/arrests-divorces-and-secret-children-breaking-amish-is-nothing-but-lies Google will turn up a lot of well-researched results if you search for "Breaking Amish Fake" or something similar. TLC was basically just exploiting Amish culture to get ratings (and the shows WERE really entertaining- I liked Amish Mafia, tbh- that was also faked)
i am white as them and on airport one irish man thought i am from his village but i am sadly not (i probably need to do DNA test? haha) in my fucked up country "people who think they are white" thinks i am ghost, dead or alien...but i don't get the hate, i love pale irish people-especially man :) -, i think more pale better, i especially like bleached pale man :), that is way i am watching this youtube channel (and because they seem witty and at the same time very sane which is rare in "my country")
No, rumspringa is a small period of time when Amish teens can experience the outside or English (as they call it) world. They either return to being Amish or leave the community forever. And yes it's German, they're descended from German immigrants.
+Pazuzu amish speak a dialect of old-german, rumspringa is the term they mean for when the teenagers go running around in the world doing crazy stuff, before settling down and officially joining the amish church. the parents frown upon it, but want them to get it out of their system i guess.
"You slept with my husband!" I've never really understood the logic behind getting mad at the one who wasn't in a relationship. And the way he points her out like "that's the harlot who made me stray!" lol no, dude. You strayed all on your own she just happened to be around to stray to.
JESUS! that girl with the flower in her hair is so pale it looks like she's never been exposed to sunlight. I've seen sheets of paper that aren't as white as that girl! She must be invisible in the winter.
i grew up near the amish, no patterns are allowed in the clothing and it's only very basics colors(mainly blue and black) allowed. they are all quiet, they're basically church mice. this would get them kicked out of the community.
Some of the best weed I've ever smoked was grown by an Amish couple in Missouri (before moving back home to CO, obviously :) They also owned this little shop on the side of the road where you could by a bag full of just the marshmallows that are in Lucky Charms. Some of the young adults going through Rumsprina would by "rave drugs" (that's what they called X, crystal, and coke) from a "guy I knew." The girls really like us "English boys", and became really friendly. Many of the girls, would shave everything below the neck.. everything (But every so often you'd come across a "bush-er", that is a girl would didn't shave anything below her neck.) I loved Rumspringa.. In a big city, I'd consider myself a 5 or 6, in a small town like the one I lived, I would say I was an 8.. but to a girl during Rumspringa, I felt like I was a 10. We called it an "R rating" or "R number", basically you get 3 points over what your looks usually are. Not to sound like a jerk, but they had no problem with you not contacting them after either; mainly because if they did have a home phone, they didn't want the English calling, or once they were done with Rumspringa, they went back to being regular Amish. Another weird thing, the guys really liked fruity cocktails and wine coolers..
this show isn't really about true amish. a show that does have real amish is "living with the amish" a show i highly recommend and is still highly entertaining while being quite informative.
Ok, I've never watched Breaking Amish. As someone who comes from a family of what is sometimes termed as "jerked over" Amish (my great grandparents left the community and were excommunicated and shunned), I can only guess these are Amish who have left the community and have (possibly) been shunned, decided not to be baptised after Rumschpringe (literally means running around. It's when Amish teens are allowed to experience outside things if they wish to before being baptised. Usually begins around 16), or they may be actors portraying "Amish". I've lived among Amish my whole life (in Elkhart and LaGrange counties in Indiana) and I've never seen Amish like them. Yes, some have cell phones now (You haven't seen funny until you've seen an Amish man in his buggy texting, not once looking up, while the horse trots along), and anyone raised around Amish will most likely know what an Amish phone booth is, some work outside of their farms and homes and then go home and work even more. Sometimes they do not choose baptism after experiencing Rumschpringe, and this is accepted in some Amish communities and they aren't shunned. They go out and have fun just like everyone else, I'm sure some may even drink, smoke, cheat, they are human after all. They are also very social. There are Old Order and New Order Amish and the differences are notable. I'm sure there are some that behave this way. It wouldn't be something that's common in my opinion and also from what I know, who I know and what I see. I wouldn't trade the sound of the clip clopping of a horse coming down my road for anything though 😸
There's some Amish around where I live and I was standing there with a crop top and a short haircut and they kept staring at me the whole time I was very uncomfortable
Breaking Amish:LA the 2013 season was one of the most drama filled. Pregnancy, broken limbs, "witchcraft", affairs, strip-clubs, engagements, and honestly just a lot of weirdness. I think that was the better season to watch.
"we can be as offensive as we like about the Amish and they'll never get to see it"
+Gary Kenny err… they are allowed to use modern technology. and the younger crowd will go online to see how they are being portrayed.
+Alvin Delgado my grandma was amish!
+fred soksabay Hm interesting, I did not know that. Would that be breaking some of the rules they live by?
+TheCsel Wait I'm sorry if I offended you :/ that's really interesting though, did you ever visit her community?
HAHA
"amish would say that these shoes would take me to hell"
"I would say that also"
my sister knows someone that was on this show. it's pretty fake, most of them have been living in the city for years after leaving the amish. they just revert for the show and pretend they are just newly left
That was obvious.
It's pretty obvious its fake
This was too short, I could've watched a whole hour of just this episode.
So true.
+Phil Nolan SAME
The show is actually about young people that already left the community. They play up the Amish as a gimmick, but this is basically Jersey Shore.
+Tuffy Logan Agreed and well said.
Too much WatchMojo
+James Russell that's how i heard about this as well.

Of all the fake reality shows, this one looks the most fake.
+Nonprophet Never watched it, but have ya seen Amish Mafia? haha
+HawkeyeNation19 There's another one called Amish Haunting or something and it's about ghosts. Never seen it though.
Any TV show about the Amish is pure bullcrap. They do not appear on camera, use tan beds, or have names like "Venus" or "Barbie".
@@josi7955sheer

+Jeff Morse There is a farmers market near me that has a few Amish stalls, they make killer food.
+Jeff Morse Well now, there are different kinds of Amish, you know. Some of them have no objection to using electricity in the barn.
+Jeff Morse My brother said that he seen a whole group of them at the greyhound station in Virginia. I'm not sure why that was so funny to me, but it was.
Yeah, it's not so much electricity that they have an issue with as the idea of the national grid. They use their own generators.
I took a trip to the Grand Canyon recently and saw some Amish people for the first time. As dumb as it sounds I was so shocked haha I would've loved to try some of their food or have a nice chat with them
Yet another insanely realistic and definetly not scripted US reality show.
Time to bring the Facts crew to America and let them experience it first hand.
I learn more about what's on TV in America via this channel lol. (and I live here lol)
lol me too
This show was confirmed to be fake.
Ryan and Paddy's reactions are the best 😂
Can y'all do a reaction of thethe bad girls club!! Its plenty of fighting I promise
YASSS!!! Do it! Do it!
they debunked this show and uncovered that the "amish" on the show had been out of the amish for a while.
I grab no shoes or nothin' Jesus...I ran for my life!
ain't nobody got time for that hahahahaha love it
+sootherbs hahah
Nadia Acosta I almost got bronchitis! But aint nobody got time for dat
hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
I went outside to get a cool pop"😂
I love the bog 😂🇮🇪🚜🚜🚜
Tractors? You blasphemous fucker! 😂😂😂😂
Did he say "was it the goat?"
Yup
😂😂 yep
"Was it the goat" 😂😂
U don't have hair like that in the Amish community
Damn straight u don't have hair like that in the normal community.
You should have showed them the first season! That was the best one.
THIS SHOW IS FAKE. Real Amish people don't behave like this, and they have accents...English is their second language. These are not real Amish people at all....
If you're ever in Lancaster, PA, try to stop at one of the Amish restaurants : ) Their breakfast is serious man ; P Much Peace and Love to Everybody : )
No spoilers for the season!! Amished the last episode!
This video got me totally hooked on that show hahah
Breaking Amish is fake af - None of the cheap actors look or even try to act like an Amish person.
+KingWak they are not actors they are just people who have already left the amish community
+houseofaction Do you know anyone at all who is amish?
Since when is "Barbie" or Barbara a amish name?
Show me one clip where these "Amish" speak at least one sentence in Pennsylvania Dutch.
Anyway, TLC is such a trustworthy channel ;-)
KingWak first of all its actually called Pennsylvania German and second off all if you actually watched the above video you can hear them speaking in it. also Barbara is actually commonly used by the Amish.
Bit late, but yes they certainly are actors. Modern Amish might not have the heavy Pennsylvania Dutch/German accents that the older generations have, but they certainly do not have the Northern Californian accents these people display either.

Fleeky eyebrows! Love you guys!
This show is bollocks, watch an actual documentry about the Amish.
Know any good ones? :)
Have actually watched the show?
They should watch hoarders next :D
+ndj7000 YES!
+ndj7000 watched that thing once and ended up cleaning my house at 4 AM.
That moment when they bring the Irish into this 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑 Leave us the fuck alone
"It looks like an advert for butter" 😂😂😂
Reality TV is anything but real. This show isn't an accurate representation of the Amish at all.
It doesn't claim to be so what's your point?
My point is, people are stupid and will believe this to be true.
Iosepa Conaleigh Of course people are stupid.
You guys should watch Laguna Beach next.
Love these videos love from Britain also the accents 😍 react to prank invasion
I'm about to start exams, I don't fucking need a new tv addiction!
I love ya’ll!!!! You guys make everything better!
"This looks like an advert for butter." EXCUSE ME WHILE I DIE OF LAUGHTER
why haven't i heard of this i need to watch it it seems great
That intro quote though XD
"Who did she cheat with? Was it with the goat?" OMG that made me laugh!
I'm still amazed at how pale they are lol. Love this channel
They might get to see it. They have a small community in Waterford.
he mentioned "if this was a mafia film..." Lmao, please watch Amish Mafia next! It's the best.
They really needed to show them the ones that ran off to New York. So much more drama.
The first lad wearing the O'Neills jersey is the fella from Rory Stories

XD
Oh The Handmaid’s Tale clothes LOL 😂
when will you watch the bridezillas XD cause you should
You guys should watch 'Amish Mafia' that was on the Discovery channel
I clicked on this expecting an Amish remake of Breaking Bad. I have never been so disappointed in my life.
I used to think I was white, until I saw Irish people.
comment of the year. love it.
I was thinking something along those lines but thought that it would impolite to write anything....
i am white as them and on airport one irish man thought i am from his village but i am sadly not (i probably need to do DNA test? haha) in my fucked up country "people who think they are white" thinks i am ghost, dead or alien...but i don't get the hate, i love pale irish people-especially man :) -, i think more pale better, i especially like bleached pale man :), that is way i am watching this youtube channel (and because they seem witty and at the same time very sane which is rare in "my country")
And now you're black?
'Ye find loads of stuff in the bog'
They should’ve shown the first season. That’s the best season😂
Can you do Vanilla Ice Goes Amish next? :)
This makes me unbelievably proud to be Irish
How did she cheat with "was it the goat" 😂😂
PLEASE tell me the red lipstick you use. It's amazing.
Everytime I go to the train station in the city near me I always see loads of Amish people in the McDonald's
Was anyone else shocked to find the quote in the description wasn't "Oh, bonnets are gonna go flying!"? Just me?
The woman with the blonde curly hair and red lipstick is like a sweet version of Heather chandler
I love plaid shirt guy!!
2:00 i don't think the amish life is about that XD
+kiah dale lol maybe he's thinking of polygamous mormons? totally different than amish lol
I liked the video right after he said "We can be as offensive as we like about the Amish and they'll never get to see it." QUALITY CONTENT
That Sean Connery TV show needs to be made.
If Facts. hasn't already done an episode of them watching the Duggars, they should.
Irish people react to kpop!
Yes, please!
"Bonnets are gonna go flying!"
"So it's not a p*nis it's tanning!"😂
he seems so disappointed 😂👏🏻
That town's name is "Rumspringa"? That is Bavarian/Austrian for "Jumparound". :D
+Pazuzu I think it's an Amish tradition where young people go on the lash for a while before settling down.
No, rumspringa is a small period of time when Amish teens can experience the outside or English (as they call it) world. They either return to being Amish or leave the community forever. And yes it's German, they're descended from German immigrants.

Ah, alright. Didn't know that. Thanks for the info, guys. :)
saw the northern guy irl the other day. took me ages to cop where I knew him from lol
I live in kentucky and i see amish people all the time, in walmart and at the mall and everything
"Go back to your own you've a great life there bring me with you." Same
That moment when you recognize the hostel the Amish people are staying in... I stayed in that place not two weeks ago lmfao.
Have they watched Amish Mafia? I can't recall. If not, git on that! ❤
"You slept with my husband!" I've never really understood the logic behind getting mad at the one who wasn't in a relationship. And the way he points her out like "that's the harlot who made me stray!" lol no, dude. You strayed all on your own she just happened to be around to stray to.
"Bonnets are gonna go flyin!" Lmfao!!
"I've been in rumspringa for 6 years" dude you are beyond rumspringa xD you are completely out ! lol
I like to get rumspringa on a Friday night, myself...
irish people react to jrock! (x japan, gazette, girugamesh etc)
GIRRRUGAMESH!
and Dir en grey
JESUS! that girl with the flower in her hair is so pale it looks like she's never been exposed to sunlight. I've seen sheets of paper that aren't as white as that girl! She must be invisible in the winter.
i grew up near the amish, no patterns are allowed in the clothing and it's only very basics colors(mainly blue and black) allowed. they are all quiet, they're basically church mice. this would get them kicked out of the community.
If this show was in the UK it would be called breaking muslim.
Some of the best weed I've ever smoked was grown by an Amish couple in Missouri (before moving back home to CO, obviously :) They also owned this little shop on the side of the road where you could by a bag full of just the marshmallows that are in Lucky Charms. Some of the young adults going through Rumsprina would by "rave drugs" (that's what they called X, crystal, and coke) from a "guy I knew." The girls really like us "English boys", and became really friendly. Many of the girls, would shave everything below the neck.. everything (But every so often you'd come across a "bush-er", that is a girl would didn't shave anything below her neck.)

In a big city, I'd consider myself a 5 or 6, in a small town like the one I lived, I would say I was an 8.. but to a girl during Rumspringa, I felt like I was a 10. We called it an "R rating" or "R number", basically you get 3 points over what your looks usually are. Not to sound like a jerk, but they had no problem with you not contacting them after either; mainly because if they did have a home phone, they didn't want the English calling, or once they were done with Rumspringa, they went back to being regular Amish. Another weird thing, the guys really liked fruity cocktails and wine coolers..
I want the first guys Easter rising jersey so bad😍
this show isn't really about true amish. a show that does have real amish is "living with the amish" a show i highly recommend and is still highly entertaining while being quite informative.
You should have them watch the gypsy wedding or Gypsy sisters lol
this is soooooooo fake. there are better amish stuff out there.
I had never seen an Amish person until last year when I went to Missouri.
It looks like they were on Rumspringa! Apparently these young people decided to leave their communities and not go back.
Irish folks watch love and hip hop Atlanta..... Please!!!

Mr. Salt and Pepper is looking good!!!
There's some Amish around where I live and I was standing there with a crop top and a short haircut and they kept staring at me the whole time I was very uncomfortable
How about Irish people reacting to Sean McGinnes and Mickey McGinnes from Hell on wheels or maybe just the show it self.
Please for the love of god do an "Irish People Watch Amish Mafia For The First Time"
this is soooo funny!!
Breaking Amish:LA the 2013 season was one of the most drama filled. Pregnancy, broken limbs, "witchcraft", affairs, strip-clubs, engagements, and honestly just a lot of weirdness. I think that was the better season to watch.
"There's not gonna be Amish sex scenes here are there?....I don't think I can handle that"
It ended. I want more! hahahahhahahaha
I don't know I live sorta near an Amish community, they just keep to themselves. And sell some nice produce.
