Missing the start where he says the guy he's talking to is standing on a bridge ready to jump (if I remember correctly) and he's talking to him to try and change his mind. The joke still works without it but I think it's funnier with it, it helps you visualize what's happening and lets you kind of get immersed in the joke so when he then pushes a guy to his death it's even more absurd and therefor more funny.
Just noticed how the crowd initially laughs when he asks "what franchise?" early in the joke. I think the audience thought that was going to be the punchline at first. To those complaining about the delivery, that "persona" was part of his schtick at the time.
This is so uniquely Emo. You love the character's innocence, so the audience just follows along, and hangs in there. Emo tells you the story a bit like a breathless four year old, but the sense of childlike wonder taps into your *own* sense of wonder so you stay til the end. And Emo never fails to deliver!
This is the full joke: Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

Well it is funny but he tells that other joke about religion that I also find very funny. It goes something like "When I was a young child I prayed every day that God would give me that shiny new red bicycle that I wanted so badly. But then I got a little older and realized that God doesn't work like that. ... So I stole the bike and asked him to forgive me." It's funny but only because it's so true. In fact, it's bordering on being a little too true. That kind of truth might tend to make Christians feel a bit uncomfortable.
Thanks for clipping this, the original had 5 minutes of other stuff, and this sort of thing comes up in conversations a lot, and i like a concise reference to Emo doing this bit.

@@robertcrittenden3202 Yes, I'm familiar with basic logic. The point I was making...and you've taken the bait, is that two people can be saying the same thing and still fight about the way it's said. This is both pertinent and antagonistic to the thrust of Emo's joke.

I just wrote a 10 page research paper on the great schism of 1054 for my college religion class but honestly this video sums it up better
It reminds me of some of the political schisms we are seeing today.
But he doesn't even mention that schism. He skips that part and goes straight into Martin Luther, 95 Theses, when he says Protestant or Catholic.

The whole bit has two and a half minutes of Emo horsing around before it gets to really funny part about religion. The rest isn't as good.
you're right it makes more sense now

He STILL has it!! Easily one of the funniest comedians I've ever seen. :)
Have you seen UHF? He's absolutely hysterical in it.

And sadly, too true :)

Also the most accurate.

SPLITTER!
People Front!
I just pushed the 666th thumbs up, on a joke about christians. Oh well, I was going to hell anyway.
Worshipping a dictator God is for cowards anyway.
Same
It's actually a joke about religion.
It’s even funnier with the closed captions turned on!
Genius!
Why he movin like that?
Well done.
Emo was one of the funniest comics ever.
It gets better! He's not even dead!

And then, presumably, went to the afterlife of the one true God:
The God of the Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879
Hard core political types are similar to this when any of their kamaraden deviate in the smallest way from their party dogma.
Pfft.
It's human nature, unfortunately.
Brilliant joke and yet not his best joke about religion. “Is this seat saved?”
That is funny
YCSP
If you turn on closed captions it's even funnier because it's so bad!
this is perhaps the scariest thing that has ever been

The fuck are you talking about?
It's not a joke on religion. It's a joke on Protestant denominations splitting hairs.
Splitting hairs...over differences in religious doctrine.
trying to split hairs yourself eh
Great joke, terrible delivery.
I like Emo's delivery, I fear he is cursed, but that is why I like him...
The delivery and way he acts/talks is part of his act i believe
It was perfect. Your probably an ok person, but your take on humor is atrocious.
Ikr, my pastor told this joke last Sunday. It hit far better because he kept a normal tone and a straight face while telling it.
A performer putting on a act??? The nerve of some people!
Including one of the most genius of all: Andy Kaufman.
Others: Steven Wright. Sam Kinison. Even Steve Martin [yeah, he was a stand-up comedian before being an actor. Who knew? Right? But, I digress.]

The delivery sucks hard, no doubt about that, but the joke itself is perfection lol.
Hes delivering the joke as a character who is meant to be awkward.
