Today, of course, is the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the year. Jews around the world are fasting today and praying that they will once again be written into the book of life. And/or they are fasting today and writing a pop culture blog about trampoline accidents and Seth MacFarlane hand-tanning. And/or they are fasting today and reading a pop culture blog about trampoline accidents and Seth MacFarlane hand-tanning. The point is, if you’re anything like me, you can feel the yogurt cup being slowly pulled over your head. And there are still many hours left to go until all our sins are wiped clean (for 12 months). So what better time to take a moment for reflection and watch a few videos that remind us what this day is all about. After the jump, a collection of moving and thoughtful Yom Kippur related videos.
GOTCHA! (I can make amends for this one next year, right? This one is clearly in the 5771 column.)

Not cool.
YOU KNOW WHAT is the BEST? This sweet, SWEET bottle of WATER I am drinking from. MMM. So good!)
Dude, not cool. Your share of the gold and control of the media will be under review at the next meeting. Which, BTW, will be held at Sheraton Ballroom in Hoboken. Pot luck, I call kugel.
JEWS. So, so hungry.
Dammit, I suck at html.

Hmm, looks good!! Luckily I’m a catholic, so I’m just gonna eat now.
Constant Catholic guilt v. one day of no food to overcome 364 days of sins, sex and depravity. Your move, boy touchers.
Right. Because Jews have no reputation for guilt or self-loathing.
Haha, maybe I should’ve been more clear. We get to drink wine when we go to a service in our church.
(Also, even though my church doesn’t have one, as a catholic you can get into one of those cubicles where you tell your sins to the priest and He’ll forgive you).
Ew. You’re bitchy when you’re hungry.
People misunderstanding our caustic humour is one of my people’s crosses to bear.
Star of David to bear?
I’m pretty sure I understand caustic humor. I read Videogum.
Time for a turkey sammich. Take that Jews.
You’re gonna love it! Food actually tastes better knowing a large group of people are fasting.
I used the word “Jew” in a google search and, in a sponsored link, google apologized to me for the results as though I had complained.
“If you recently used Google to search for the word “Jew,” you may have seen results that were very disturbing. We assure you that the views expressed by the sites in your results are not in any way endorsed by Google.”
Also, at first, when you said 5771, I thought you were referring to methadone. I wasn’t sure what the reference meant, but I liked it.
I feel for you, Jews. I think we can all agree that telling people not to eat for extended periods of time is the worst atrocity ever committed in the name of religion.
Now excuse me while I eat this enormous sandwich.
What kind of sandwich are you eating? A big fat one with some kind of juicy meat on it?
Maybe its a BLT. Maybe its a Cheeseburger with bacon. And shellfish. Probably.
Shana tova, Monsters. May we all be inscribed in the Book of LOLz.
You dropped a hard “j” there, Gabe.
I love the last one. Action movie theme up your food preparation!
Also i have no idea why i watched all three.
Did you find the baby chick’s entrance in the first video terrifying? Yeah, I really thought that was a close up of an ear of corn.. not giant egg corn hatching babies. That’s not appetizing at all, right?
all sinking your teeth into a cob of corn, suddenly hearing the terrified painful chirping of the alive baby chick you just sank your teeth into?
all screaming at the dinner table, “I DIDNT KNOW. I DIDN’T KNOW”?
(yeah i was definitly freaked out too)
I enjoy a nice medium-rare steak every now and then, but I don’t want my food to have an intact fight or flight response.
I’ll be committing a double atrocity today: eating bacon. Self-loathing Judaism never tasted so good.
I know no one ever clicks on links to YouTube videos here in the comments (or at least I don’t, so my poll of one person turned up with a 100% approval rate of that statement), and I haven’t figured out how to embed videos on ViGum (maybe you can’t?). But this is relevant.

You can’t complain about one day, I just finished 30!

The Fasting and the Furious: Tokyatone Drift (Away from Food)
Wait, Gabe. Does this mean you’re Jewish?? I KNEW IT!!!!! Oh, that scruffy beard and furrowed brow belies your true religion.
In other news, I can now marry Gabe with my mom’s permission.
