Schisms & wars!? That feckin’ god-fellah, Jehovah, aka Allah, must be a sadistic pervert. But I guess it’d have to be to sanction hell, where some of the human beings it supposedly created are mercilessly tortured for eternity.
How the feck can the religious believe such obvious utter crap as Christianity, Judaism, or Submissionism, (the followers of Muhammad, piss be upon him)?

For some reason “Mathew” is no longer on youtube. Too bad, it was my favourite.
Just a bit of context for some of you americans. Thats a clip from the brilliant Lee and Herring. It’s from a show called “This Morning with Richard Not Judy” and went out on BBC2 on a sunday morning which was normal reserved for religious shows.
Stewart Lee went on to make Jerry springer the opera and you can see documentary about religion and the protests over his show here:
Well, obviously, it’s not meant to be taken literally. It refers to all types of baked goods.

I like what Stewart Lee said about himself and his co-author for Jerry Springer the Musical:
There was talk of the compose and I being prosecuted for blasphemy, but ultimately the case was not pursued, presumably on the grounds that it isn’t 1508.

The disciple Ian?
I think I’ll have to go light a candle to St Matthew now.
The title is a parody of “This Morning With Richard And Judy”, a popular morning talk show at the time.
Not bad for Sunday morning TV. I wouldn’t mind seeing repeats of that.

Thanks for the reminder Chris, I remember him saying it. It’s a pity that the text loses his style of delivery. Thee and me can doubtless add it in I suppose.

There being someone called “Ian” is a running joke through Lee and Herring’s stuff. Same goes for the “aaaaaaaaaaah” gag.
The programme that that clip is from is This Morning With Richard Not Judy. It was on on Sunday mornings at about 10.30 and consequently got quite a lot of complaints from the god squad. They had other segments apart from Sunday Heroes (“Pause for Thought for the Day”) which were also about religion. They aren’t well tagged on YouTube but here’s some more links:
“The State” (early ’90s sketch comedy show with Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and the rest of the guys from “Stella” and “Reno 911!”) also did a nice oddball take on the Last Supper: watch it here.
Oh, the Last Supper. It would have gone so well, if it wasn’t for Louie.
The Catholics were lucky it wasn’t “The Last Breakfast” or they might be swilling down consecrated chicken embryos and bloody marys. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
That’s good stuff, haha
So Jesus meant for us to be confused? Aaaaaaahhhh!
That video is great
The whole “sunday heroes” series is great
But… but… consider the lilies of the field!
Aaahh, the insane bullshit of it all!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…… Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh…..
Nope… Still don’t buy into the nonsense… I guess it only works if you buy the nonsense in the first place!
ha, perfect. Thanks for the good laugh PZ.
So, PZ, when you say you HATE Phil, do you mean it metaphorically or literally…?
The full set of Sunday Heroes is available in YouTube – very funny! Aaaaaaah!
Absolutely hilarious! Thanks for this.

It’s brilliant.

At Bad Astronomy, a poster said that when Phil the skeptologist refused to even try wheatgrass juice, he wussed-out.
Phil’s reply was “I am not a wuss.” Do you think he meant that metaphorically, or literally?
AAAAaaaaahhhh.
What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

I thought it looked familiar. Yes, I remember that from a while back. Stewart Lee and Richard Herring.

You might like some of Stewart Lee’s later standup which became more religion-based. There’s a few clips on YouTube of that.
Tony at 22 – there are full episodes of TMWRNJ / Fist of Fun on Stewart Lee’s website: http://www.stewartlee.co.uk/oldshows.htm

Thanks, Dan. That really is a find. I’d forgotten how good they were. That genuine Herring mistake over Baroness Young, the evil homophobic harridan and Baroness Young, whose views were the exact opposite, who just happened to be on the board of governors of the BBC (series 2, episode 5), is a classic.

Literally. But that doesn’t mean he’s right.
