Old-Time Deaf Bing
Renca:
I’m at my Deaf friend’s house and you know the Deaf Bing!
[Renca gives a series of short skits showing her doing the following topics: “1. BANG ON THE DOOR, 2. DOORBELL LIGHTS, 3. WAVING THRU WINDOW, 4. TEXT/FACETIME, AND 5. RING APP/DOORBELL APP.”]
But you know back in the old days, there were different ways like this example…
[The screen has turned into black-and-white. Renca acts like an old-time character who is trying to knock on a door. There is a male inside of the house, napping on a chair. He does not hear the knocking. Renca’s character then sees a string hanging from the top of the door and proceeds to tug at it. The string then pulls up the male’s arm, waking him up.]
Renca: (KNOCKING)
Male: (SNORING)
Renca: (BANGBANGBANGBANG)
Male: (STILL SNORING)
Renca: (TUG TUG TUG)
…
…
Male: Someone is here. Hmm!
[End black-and-white video skit]
Renca:
That is an “OLD TIMES DEAF BING.”
