What are your Favorites lines from all shmuel kunda Z’L tapes?
I can’t believe he’s gone :'(
“Em…em…howaya you. My name is Mista Osbourne. And I’m an official for the Housing Department…”
“How many times a night can a two year old get thirsty?” “About levendy six?”
Wookie Jookie !
“and since when do I take orders from a fish?”
Heyyya Frrranky
Wookie jooky comes from Marvelous Midos Machine by Abie Rottenberg.
My favorite Kunda line is when Mayor Figalely La Gardenhose says, “And that’s a campaign promise!”
I’m calling on behalf of yeshiva lilmod u’lilamed…lishmar v’la’asos…ulekayeim…es kol divrei…talmud torasecha…b’ahava!
Heshy? He-eshy? He-sheeee! Are you sleeping?!
And now more than ever i use this line: How many times a night can a 2 year old get thirsty?!
I also loved his tapes, and I don’t doubt that he and his family are proud of them. I just feel like we can wait until the man is buried before his death becomes a reason to tell jokes.
Thread closed. Reopen after shiva.
Opened
In this time we forgot all the lines.
It’s starting to come back now, slowly.
I think the first one is “Light is compared to the Torah” – 613 Torah Avenue – Breishis. (is that his first?)
then there’s
v’ahavta l’reiacha k’mocha… I’m loosing the place.

Thanks for unlocking this thread.
Why limit it to our favorite lines from his tapes? Why not have a favorite line from every category?

Thank you Reb Shmuel! Your tapes were a major part of my childhood. My siblings and I quote them in conversation till today.

I gained a new appreciation for the tapes when my kids started listening to them. My father’s favorite part was the Shabbos guest (I forget his name) from “Baruch Learns about Shabbos” who spends 5 minutes listing out his entire family including “Rrrosy mit der runny nosey”.
I laughed a lot at the theme song (Lower East Side Anthem) from the first “When Zaidy was Young”. “We would handel on the price/Then return the merchandise/in that crowded little corner of New York!”
I really liked those baruch tapes. My favorite is probably the shabbos zemiros song that includes the tunes from different zemiros.
Anyone know which album this song was on? It went something like “In the days of the rishonim, … of the acharonim, in the days – in the days of the rishonim, … of the acharonim”. I’d love to get my hands on that album. If anybody can let me know the name of the album, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.
I think The Royal Rescue.

‘ song. i was going through a very dark period in my life, hurting lots of people and myself in so mny ways. i was very depressed, not knowing where to turn. while babysitting a niece i heard the song and it really struck a chord in what i thought was a soul beyond repair, a soul without hope. from that moment on, i felt like a changed person. reb shmuel, i owe you my life, seriously
And since when do I take orders from a fish????
Our family always talks about “bullzoders”.
I told you Wednesday night is not a good night for a bath Uncle Isadore…

On When Zaidy was young vol 3, there is a beautiful song called “Goodbye my little village”. It’s worth a listen even for people who don’t want to hear the whole story.
