My Persian Family

Persian boy introduces his American girlfriend to his family

A "The Office" style mockumentary about a Persian boy who's hiding the fact that he's dating an American girl from his parents. So in otherwords, this is a fake documentary. Your joking yourself if you think this is what really happened.

I laughed so hard my tummy hurts. Especially when his dad said "Pedarsag!!!"
very funny. I think the gf who dumps a A+ guy over a silly thing like this doesn't deserve him. You should find an iranian one next time, but then again LOVE doesn't know boarders.

Not so bad

by programmer craig on

I didn't think those parents were so bad at all! I could tell worse stories from a white-guy American guy's point of view. I thought the girl in this clip was a bit "off" - she didn't seem like she was trying very hard to make a good impression. I would have thought she'd work harder at it, even if there wasn't a cultural gap.

Off the track... even for a comedy clip.
The naneh babaye bikhabar az donia who were
so overly stereotypical was way out of line.
As my cousin always says... che beemazeh!

You either get it or you don't! And if you're not raising kids outside Iran, you probably don't get it! You'll just have to wonder! :)

I LOVE IT!!!

As an admirer, and avid dater of Iranian men this girl should know better than to act like a moron in front of Iranian parents. I do not like the way this clip portrayed American women in general.

I think people should date, and be with whom they like. It's all up to you at the end to hold on to your culture, language etc.

A true person would want to learn the Iranian culture, would have dressed appropriately, and spoken to one's parents with respect.

A spoof all together, I was laughing all through it... Very well done for a good laugh.

Thanks for sharing!

I know it's a comedy. I know it's supposed to be funny. Unfortunately it's not funny. I'm tired of this javad style image that iranian families living overseas carry in medias. Specially iranian medias.

Funny but unreal

I suspect that most Iranian families would show a lot of hospitality.

There could be the long lecture afterwards i.e.

have you thought were this could be going?

We had some plans for you etc.

Otherwise, it was funny, I enjoyed it.

cute, but....

not real.  I can't imagine any girl going to her boyfriend's parents house under those circumstances.  ESPECIALLY if she is American and he is Persian.  I was a friggin nervous wreck when I started meeting my husband's family before we got married.  She was way too theatrical in the whole video.  But... it was funny...lol.
