Smokey Robinson Wishes Someone a Happy Chanukah, Hilarity Ensues

My mom grew up on the same street as Smokey Robinson in Detroit. So for Chanukah, I wanted to reunite them via @Cameo. But the video takes a strange twist. pic.twitter.com/IZ3S9WusiJ

idk why i found this so funny lol

i assume he's more familiar with the "Hanukkah" spelling

[evett]

lmfao

poor Smokey would not have been tripped up if they went with the superior "Hanukkah" spelling

[sandstorm]

Eh, I kind of agree with the people replying to the tweet - he tried, he's not familiar with it, why laugh.

[toxic_illusion]

I agree.

Smokey still got their 350 clams though!

Did this dude need to post this? Smokey Robinson seems sweet and was trying. I don’t know it seems kind of mean to post this in an effort to mock him

[britneyspears]

i thought it was more sweetly relatable than mocking tbh, and i hope most people think of it that way!

[lyra_loo]

this definitely feels relatable to me, i KNOW i have done things like this before. i think it's funny and cute!

Yeah I'm Jewish and I think it's cute/silly. I love Smokey lol shit I grew up on his music!

I guessed how he'd pronounce it before clicking and I was right lol, oh no. This was cute and sweet though!
