Cross-Dressing Jersey Mom Puts Bells on for Broadband Emmys

Did you ever see “Christmas Tree” by Clay Weiner? It’s this short online film where a dude, impersonating somebody’s ultra-New Jersey mom, hustles an invisible family through the dire process of buying a Christmas tree.

That video got Clay nominated for an Emmy.

To spread the love he put together “Make Your Mom Proud,” a promotional video for the 2008 Broadband Emmy Awards. The video was commissioned by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

We laughed. And cried. And flashed back to Moonstruck.
