This Kid Just Won the Bar Mitzvah Video Wars

By Anne Cohen March 5, 2015

Move over, Sam Horowitz. I dub thee Brody Criz, King of Bar Mitzvah videos.

The soon-to-man has created what is probably the most insane bar mitzvah invite ever by parodying Pharrell, John Legend, Lorde, “Frozen” and others who shall remain nameless — gotta keep a little mystery.

I both love and respect this kid and want to die for him a little bit at the same time. Just wait until they show this at his wedding.

Kudos to his family for playing along with this (I would be the sullen brother in blue). Whatever you do, stick around to the end. You won’t regret it.
