Nux is reacting my new video, which means he will be regularly pausing the video to accidentally predict my jokes moments before I say them. Also, definitely in on the not-a-cult business, I can see the millions already 🤑 Been waiting for this though, glad you enjoyed :)
I saw this video a few days ago on your channel Blooms, and now I'm 100% down to rewatch it with Nux's reaction!!
Keep it up Blooms!! Your South Park videos are INCREDIBLE!! 😊
you were indeed right, so many jokes predicted
Pffft, I would take it as two great minds thinking alike! Great videos as usual you two, maybe you two could collab on one down the line :3
I had a maraton of your videos starting with this one. Crazy to see nux react after
I was worried the Nijisanji situation would make your video fall through the cracks, but I’m really glad Nux saw it. Despite all the vindication I think he needed a pick-me-up
Nux: "Do they have a Mormon episode?"
South Park: "Dum dum dum dum dum"
Joseph Smith, he was a prophet
That episode is pretty damn accurate too. I mean it's not as hard to research as they're public about everything the show discussed. And their proximity to members of the church growing up helped.
@@angrytheclown801Yeah theyre happy to share, meanwhile Scientologists wont share anything without a major cash "donation"
The problem is south park acts like Mormons are so kind and pure
And they said that even if the religion was faked by a racist, pedophile con man
That if it makes their lives better it's okay
Meanwhile they've made the whole of Utah a medieval purity play.
@@angrytheclown801fun fact Mormon religion literally condemned black people
saying their skin color is because they are heathens descended from Cain...
It was only after the US government threatened to remove their tax exempt status
In the 1970's, that they allowed black people into the religion
And sort of gloss over the whole racist doctrines of half their religious text
But South park has helped to conceive everyone Mormons beliefs are goofy but they are good
Meanwhile in Utah they have literally made the state a Christianity denomination Saudi Arabia
I don't usually watch Vtubers, but something about Nux's avatar feels a lot more natural and matches his personality, not to mention how cool it looks. Props to the artist and programmer who made it!
Yesss, I really want him to try and get it rigged up with mo cap. I thought that would be super gnarly
Fr
Same here, he's literally the only VTuber I watch 😂 but something about it does catch me
For me its the bounciness
It’s actually a very far removed derivative of the human Sans fan art he ripped off of google images.
When he got told that he didn’t have permission to use it he ended up dip changing it to a similar yet distinctive design that eventually evolved into this
Fun Fact: Tom Cruise planned on becoming a priest before deciding to become an actor. Think about that!
Scientology allowed him to become both.
Tom cruise is based
Bro he thought that there wasn't anything wrong with removing himself from his daughter's life. Literally the dad who went out for a milk and never comes back. Unironically the best decision to ever make for his daughter.

The ultimate sign of a cult is when you aren't allowed to learn about it until you join... like the WEF sacrificing human effigies to the giant owl in the woods.
You aren't allowed even when you join you have to donate millions to even get to otp 4 and out of the three otp 8s is two people and basically bart Simpson cause nacy Cartwright is otp 8 waiting for John whatever to come back and give her the remaing otp 9 and 10
Also otp 4 is when you learn about xnew basically otp 8 is where you learn of the second half basically otp 1 through 3 is basically hard labor and sweatshop stuff basically
Secrecy and insular, restrictive tenants that threatens punishment if you attempt to leave, let alone reveal the secrets of the cult, such as scientology and its weaponization of the legal system. Christianity almost certainly has sects that are cults for sure, but it clasifies more as a religion because their tenants are generally very well known (so the secrecy aspect isn't an issue) and mostly don't threaten their members if they want to leave. Mind, parents can be a major exception, but that is as much a display of bad parenting as it is purely occult behavior. For it to be cult behavior the organization itself has to be in on it and actively involved in the threats, rather than merely parents being psycho or excessive peer pressure.

Isaac Hayes (the voice actor of Chef) didn't actually leave South Park by his own volition, he was sick and someone resigned FOR him while he was indisposed.
Yeah, the Church of Scientology did it. His son came out after the fact and supposedly said that Hayes would not have quit South Park over this, and I recall Matt Stone and Trey Parker being rather ashamed of how they disposed of Chef once it became clear that Hayes was not really to blame for how things turned out.
It was that fruity little club of Scientology.
Yes. I watched the video too
That twist was so heartbreaking to discover. Imagine the guilt of blaming your friend and coworker for something they had no control over due to illness. Sick.
@@AnomalyINC damn that sucks
@@cdogthehedgehog6923it's definitely was his choice of religion
The creators of South Park are buying the rights to Isaac's voice from his family to bring chef back via ai
source pls not calling you out I actually want to read about that
Same I'd hope that if they are it's to show how messed up the idea of it is
Don’t they already have the rights? They used him in the video game. Or was that a one-time contract thing?
@@kazeryu4834 one time thing
Nice.
The Mormons are probably the one religion south park respects since the church did not get mad at them making fun of them. In south park they establish that Mormons are some of the most happy people. And in south park all Mormon’s get into Heaven
Yeah, the Mormon Church tends to take things in stride. Their response to the Book of Mormon musical was basically an ad campaign saying "the book is better"
Considering they got their episode AND a full broadway musical to roast them, they took it extremely well and even leaned into it. Probably the best example was when the LDS church advertised by piggybacking off The Book of Mormon musical ('You've seen the play, now read the book')
@@thepavilion7625Honestly? Weirdly based. XD
Mormons may believe some things that are odd to a lot of people, and have some peculiar practices. But they are generally good people.
Yeah, that was actually pretty wild. I'd respect Mormons a lot more if they didn't groom children
The story of how humans came to be from the game Destroy All Humans is a lot more believable than Scientology.
It’s bad enough Scientology exists, but the fact it’s the reason we lost one of the best characters of South Park is a true disgrace. 😠
Agreed. ):

Rest in Peace Chef
Isaac Hayes!
We never lost out on Cartman.. (the literal driving force of the show..) we lost out on a "follower" literally a man who said vague bullshit..
@@he.art."One of the" read before you reply to people
Isaac Hayes was a long time Scientologist , he didnt quit the show to become one, he was already one for many years.
And supposedly he was in no condition to quit himself at the time, he was recovering from a stroke.
His scientology handlers quit for him.
Yes, the video mentions that
Also I think his son came out and said sir Issac didn't want to leave the show but they forced him to after he had a stroke.
Actually the person who voiced chef didn’t quite the show
It was his assistants who made a letter saying he is quoting South Park
He didn’t want to leave South Park
His son can confirm this
i think he was sick or something at the time
@@wilsonweiseng6485exactly
@@wilsonweiseng6485he had a stroke it’s mentioned close to the end of the video
Isaac hayes quote after the episode aired : "Well, I talked to Matt and Trey about that. They didn't let me know until it was done. I said, "Guys, you have it all wrong. We're not like that. I know that's your thing, but get your information correct, because somebody might believe that shit, you know?" But I understand what they're doing. I told them to take a couple of Scientology courses, and understand what we do. [Laughs.]"
He didn’t took it to heart and knew they were just doing typical South Park humor
Yes, that’s explained in this video
If scientology is a religion, then why is tom cruise so short?
This makes no rational sense but is hilarious so take my thumbs up
@@thehoodedteddy1335it makes perfect sense. Tom cruise paid the church of Scientology to cure him of his evil aliens so his life will be better and he’s still short. That means the religion is a sham.

Nux: "Do they have a Mormon episode?"
South Park: "Not only a mormon episode, but a whole musical play about it."
Lol, it was awesome! Loved it!
The Internet vs Scientology War that this caused was beautiful and absolute Karmatic Judgement!!!
9:40... That... Is actually a very apt description of how cults and religion differ.
Yeah not like churches actually have things like mandatory tithes
Did you know that for most of history churches literally had their own taxes upon those sanctioned by the monarchy
There's a reason why the Catholic Church is among the top of the richest organizations in the world

@@mckenzie.latham91 okay and? what group wasn’t corrupt in the Middle Ages?
@@emeraldfinder5 I don't think they want a discussion, they want to shut down one by generalizing things they disagree with. In reality most things have a spectrum. There's plenty of people who believe or don't believe who are decent people who think for themselves. A lot of these people who shut down discussions are set in their ways and feel there isn't anything more to say. South Park even pointed out that Mormon family was cool people even if the entire episode poked fun at what they believed. More people should think about that point and not be so douchy if they believe in different things.
I think it's a good lesson that it matters less about what people believe and more about how they treat each other.
Except that Scientology has in fact the status of religion officially, so they get the benefits and are so powerful and rich now that no one seems to be able to touch them... Secretly I hope something like the FBI is building cases against it, to take it down one day.
Xenu isn't even a god, he's a shitty Freeza from DBZ
L.Ron Hubbard once Told Isaac Asimov "The real money is not in science fiction, its in religion"
I made this comment before watching the whole video. No idea Blooms would cover that
"I hope you _don't_ have a nice day"
Never before have i seen such scathing vitriol from Nux
The funniest thing about this episode for me was I thought it wasnt that funny, but then Tom Cruise pulled the episode from rerun and it became one of the funniest of the season to me.
"How dare they speak unkindly towards the Axis Cult!!” ~Average Scientologist
Bro I forgot about, "and then I PULL OUT MY GUN!" I used to reference that with my friends all the time.
All the "we dont believe in medecine for your head" is still very true, a Canadian journalist infiltrated the Canadian branch with a bipolar disorder diagnostic. They redirect him to a fellow doctor who immediatly want him to get off every med for it. Just this part is so crazy and dangerous its hard to think it goes even further. And by the way i just love your Blooms reactions, he make such great content 🙃
Just recently within the last year there was the lady who lit herself on fire and shot herself because they wouldn't let her get proper help.
At 34:14 Nux talked about a Mormon that didn't know what Mormon's believe. I'm a Mormon and first started going at 14 years old, and within two months I learned the history of how it started, and they give me a list of the main truths they try to fallow. Back in the day our church was 3 hours long, first hour is sacrament and spiritual talks, second hour is Sunday school on the bible, Book of Mormon and more; and last hour we break up for meetings with different groups in the church. We stopped having meeting on Sundays making it 2 hours long. I think Nux friend is having a skill issue with his Mormon Skill tree.
There was one point when I was much younger (and dumber) that I thought I might want to join Scientology excatly because I thought it was the Church of Science.
Now that would be a cool one! I always thought one focusing on putting all efforts to space exploration/travel in order to make sure we survive the suns explosion (whenever that is lol)
Eh . They’re about as smart as most atheists.
The best part of the episode was the caption "This is actually what they believe."
My ninth grade teacher used this exact episode to explain to me what Scientology was
the parody laws for copywrite is basically tailor made for southpark to do what they do.
*copyright
That’s unfortunate, as a Mormon a lot of members grow up in the church not putting in effort to understand what they believe.
This is what I was going to say. Actually pay attention in classes instead of be on your phone. That stands for everything not just church
I mean... let's hope they don't believe any of that bullshit in the first place
Mormonology literally is so bad
You have to respect that Christianity for the snake and apple story
The fact that Joseph Smith was a con man was my first clue the whole thing was BS.
If 8 people give Nux a dollar, he'll have enough to do something fun. That's just physics.
im not going to lie xenu sounds like a failed attempt to make cthulhu
He totally heard it and was like “hmm what’s a cool space version? Oh! I’ll add an x to it!!”
It sounds like a Pokemon that evolves into Cthulhu.
Nuxpentious finally posted 😢
AND THEN HE PULLED OUT HIS DEATH RAY
South Park: replaces the credits with John Smith and Jane Smith
People named John Smith and Jane Smith: Uh oh
Just think of all the times John and Jane Does die.
Im a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints(Mormon) myself and Nux's friend who doesnt know how it started is someone who never even thought to look into it. Or paid attention in Sunday School. Everything to learn about us, all our scriptures and learning videos are easily accessible online. I've been a member all my life and If I ever wanted to learn something about the religion, I was able to find it.
Yeah I've never met a Mormon who didn't know the basics at of their faith at least. Don't know where nux found that guy but I think he's the exception
Edit: to qualify I've met several who don't know the history though. Kinda shocked that whole Missouri thing could be left out of the basic education
My favourite part of the Mormon religion is
How Joseph Smith was a lying con man, a racist, and a pedophile
And all his BS actually got people to believe that Eden was in Mississippi
Natives are Jews
And black people were heathens descended from Cain
Which is why they were banned from the church until the government literally threatens to strip Mormon of tax exempt status and bam
They change their doctrine over night
And people still buy it.
Yap

Scientology: You should pay at least five million to have this taken down. Act now, before the word spreads even further. The more people talk about this, the fewer people who will buy into your religion.
"Religion is founded on faith, cults are founded on greed."
Both are founded on FEAR.
So Scientology wants you to believe in aliens and ghost... So it's Dan Da Dan
I actually remember when this episode was aired...just like the Mormon episode, it was hilarious, but I thought, "They are going to have a huge legal fight on their hands."
Omg, I had no idea about the "die of phnemonia" thing. I had a friend in High School who's family were Scientologists and I made fun of the religion because of South Park. The funniest part was I ended up getting phnemonia and having to leave the school to go live with family who were actually taking care of me (because at the time I was living with my dad and grandma and both refused to take me to the doctors). I wish I could have seen the look on his face when he realized I had phnemonia.
Scientology is just an expansive MLM.
Fun fact: the KKK was an MLM, it was tremendously profitable to see the white hoods and membership cards.
Hearing the comment at 41:12 about there sarcastically being no backlash, then seeing how much of the video is left
One of my favorite parodies of Scientology is from the Dead Space series… which featured the Church of Unitology.
A totally not inspired by real-world cult religion with massive power and influence that keeps its beliefs largely secret until a member provides significant support to the cult in the form of monetary donations or political influence.
The Church, of course, makes everything worse in the game.
I saw this episode when it first came out. I had heard about scientology frequently, but as mentioned, they didnt let anyone know what it actually was. I was floored by the information in this south park episode, I could easily dismiss it as exaggeration, except for the big flashing letters on the bottom of the screen "THIS IS WHAT THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE"
"If they charge you before telling you what it is, it's a scam."
And what if they charge you after telling you what it is?
"Then there's a good chance it's a well constructed scam..."
Yeah the Catholics literally make you give up 10% of your income as a mandatory tithe for all followers of the church.
One thing I definitely did not expect when watching a Nuxtaku video was a reasonably competent elevator speech version of the Kuzari argument. 23:37
Well done, my friend!
South Park also helped to cement the Streisand effect.
Also Nux, my Mom was wondering when you were coming home with the milk.
It would be funny to see Nux react to that one banned Mormon cartoon. It is too comical
The fact that one of their beliefs is practically a Boondocks episode is wild.
28:30 Henceforth known as Stan’s stans.
40:50 Best credits joke ever.
There is quite a considerable overlap between psychological and neurological drug therapy, especially during recovery. It's all about "specific targets" in pharmacology, and the "targets" being "aimed" at in psychological therapy for brain neurons are very much the same "targets" for all neurons through the body in Neurological therapy. Same cell "type", same cell "targets".
1:21:35 Blooms also said Psychotropics which are used to help cognitive recovery after a stroke.
They absolutely have a mormon episode! It did so well that the creators of South Park made an entire musical called The Book of Mormon, which was super successful. You should definitely react to both!
There's been quite a few references to the Mormons over the years. Largely light hearted teasing. And then there's Cannibal: the Musical which goes into an obscure Mormon tale.
South Park's verdict on Mormonism seems to be: "It's weird even for a religion and their prophet was acting like a con man, but unlike most religions, Mormonism raises nice people, not assholes."
They have a whole 2 hour Broadway musical about Mormonism. It’s amazing 😂
The worst part about scientology, is that it starts as a pretty believable premise, but they kept adding details that make it completely stupid.
Nuxanor just got labeled as an "SP" by Scientology.
I'm an SP myself, you get super powers from it, it's neat.
Tf is an SP
@@themaxterz0169 Supressive Person. Essentially an enemy of the church of scientology.
@themaxterz0169 Scientology term SP for Supressive Person to describe all people who have been declared by the church who they are not allowed to associate with. Former members who are declared SPs are completely cut off from all friends and family who are still in.
@@tinkercat8268 Precisely
South Park, Hitman WOA and youtubers in 2024 all combined showed me that nobody is in literal or figurative sense is untouchable
It's all about sunk-cost with cults. They find vulnerable people and lull them into the belief that the cult can solve every woe the person has in their life, as long as they joing and help the cult. It may start in the small gestures, doing small favours or even small paid amounts, but it slowly increases and becomes more and more demanding. At some point, the person will be so deep into the cult that they have given them their entire life. And from then on they are lost.
The craziest thing is that Scientology used to be literally just a group of scientist who wanted to teach science and theory between religion and science and how they can coexist and then it turned into this bull
52:34 pretty sure that’s the gundam unicorn soundtrack, or at least Hiroyuki Sawano
What's funnier is that the crappy scifi movie Battlefield Earth, starring John Travolta, is pretty much scientology's Passion of the Christ. The movie is beat for beat about their cults beliefs. So their actual beliefs were out there, without people realizing it, since 2000.
26:35 it gets worse Nux, they have ads for it on UA-cam or atleast I've seen them no more than a week ago.
Remember kids: if they’re happy to share their beliefs before asking for money and want you to share those beliefs with everyone you know, it’s religion. If they ask you for money before drip feeding you their beliefs and they don’t want you sharing your beliefs with anyone who hasn’t spent money, it’s a cult.

Last I checked Moses was the one who communicated the Torah to the Israelites in the desert.
There is always a necessity for trust in somebody in any religion.

Want a wild story. Look into Hubbard's life. From sex magic with Parsons to cruise ship voyages where he would have his followers search for gold.
Honestly tho, Scientology sounds like the first ever real life roleplaying game with pay to win. You get more lore and a better character by spending more money
Nux is the troll we deserve. He sits on the bridge of truth. He lets you pass and gain the knowledge you seek. The only thing he asks is that you open your eyes.
Nux we all love you.
Don't evangelize.
This sort of talk ends up with cutting out your spleen and swinging it around in religious zealotry.
Neurology and Psychiatry are not the same per se but they most definitely go hand in hand. Neurology is the study of brain structures, their functions and variations that produce mental disorders or disabilities (among MANY other things obviously). Psychiatry takes the knowledge that we have about brain structures, clinical psychology and brain chemistry to essentially alter the brain chemistry in order to provide a cure or treatment for an affliction. Damage caused to the brain by a stroke is something that Neurology studies, the treatment itself is psychiatric
There was a church of Scientology right across the street to where we would perform our live nativities and there was some pretty creepy things they did while we were there. They’d just stare at us and pass around these weird doll things. It was freaky.
56:02 To be fair, from walking in the door to OT-VIII costs over _Two Million USD_ Each "grade" costs more than the last.

My favorite fictional religion has but two rules. 1) try to do more good than harm in your lifetime. 2) spend 15-30 minutes every day self reflecting and thinking about how you should go about solving your problems.
One of my favorite flash animations that was made years ago called "You Are A Fucking Moron" (or YAAFM) roasts Scientology so hard. xD
Let's compare Scientologists and Mormon's
Scientologists: We're gonna Sue you!!!!!
Mormon's: We're going to buy ads in your playbook about the Play and say "You've seen the Play, Now read the Book. The Book is always better."
Dude!! How do you keep watching videos I already watch?? LOL
Coz there very interesting to learn about and spreading the word is good 👍🏻
We know the OT documents because of one guy that Scientology tried to sue over his NDA and leaving the organization. In retalition for bringing the lawsuit, he submitted _all_ of the OT documents as evidence.
This screwed them royally. If they denied the documents were legit, then they would lose the lawsuit and commit perjury since his NDA didn't cover fake documents. If they amitted the documents were genuine, they win the lawsuit, but commit their OT documents (worth literally _Millions_ to access) to the Public Record.
And that's why we know, for example, that the OT-VIII document calls Jesus a Pee-3D0.
IIRC, Operation Clambake still has the original court documents available somewhere.
Still never as powerful as the “church” of Billy
The ironic part is that I got an ad for scientology before I clicked on this video
Analogy, South Park took off the goggles of a disgusting person and revealed how far apart their eyes are, the rest of the criticism stripped them naked
My only criticism of Trapped in the Closet is it made Scientology into a joke but in fact it's dangerous, they've tortured people, killed people, driven some to suicide, abused kids and destroyed lives. I know that's hard to fit in but I think until series like Leah Remini's Scientology the Aftermath they got away with more because no one took them seriously. The episode is brilliant and it really helped get the ball rolling against the cult and probably stopped people joining but it made people dismissive of Scientology when anger and outrage are what we really need to take them down. They're still huge, rich and powerful. They need to be stopped.
On Mormons, there are Mormon cults - usually an evil old man and 20 wives who he groomed from childhood plus their extended families.
Also, I saw a clip of it in the video, check out the SNL Unitology music video but watch the original Scientology music video first. That was another superb parody.
I mean people joke about 9/11 and the Holocaust and I think those have a bigger body count
@newusernamehere4772 true but those are historical events as opposed to ongoing ones.
And then there's the Mormon episodes. And Satan's series long arc. 😂
The R Kelly gag is because of his song series "Trapped in the Closet" he sang a song about hiding from a cheated on spouse it's good and horrible and they're riffing on the story.
John Travolta made a terrible science fiction movie attempting to discredit psychiatry, he was also a scientologist.
Had they stay chill, the Streisend effect would not have taken hold nearly as much and they most likely wouldbhave rode that wave unscatted.
As a child, my family and local church thought Scientology were a bunch of atheists trying to copy the churches business model
Hey Nux, if you got back far enough on any timeline, ALL RELIGIONS start with just one guy.
I still find out it insane that back in the 90's the church of Scientology hired Tool and another band and pulled guns on them because the opener was saying something about the church being a scam. Like dudes you knew who you asked to play, Maynard is not and never was Edgar Winters
57:03 the summary is basically correct, except the dictionary is closer to the Urim and Thummim you can read about in the old testament.
John Travolta also made a terrible movie about Scientology, Battlefield Earth, where the aliens destroyed the world and everyone turned to cavemen and the aliens are like a corporation and the cavemen take out the aliens that are enslaving them with fighter jets.
If that sounded like a child's ramblings, don't worry, it's even more deranged than I made it sound. It was so bad (but also so accurate) that Scientology had to publicly disown the movie. "You are not affiliated with me!"
If you really want your stomach to turn the latest stories about Scientology is about Danny Masterson and the connection to the church is a major reason his trial has been delayed and potential tampering with his trial. Also I remember watching a lot about the church back during project Chanology and videos from Mark Bunker who covered the corruption in the church from around the late 90s.
8:16 I would most certainly disagree with this point wholeheartedly. South Park is most definitely woke. It is also nonwoke. As someone who has been watching since it first dropped in 1996, they have mastered the art of parodying both sides. It's been my favorite show for most of my life and one of the reasons why is because they highlight the strengths and ridiculousness of both sides and placed them right next to other right in front of your eyes. You could easily make the argument that South Park is plenty "woke."
Not to mention, if you grew up when I did you had the Comedy Central lineup of South Park, The Chappelle Show, and the Daily Show back-to-back-to-back.
15:55 Astrology falls under the same category as the name would suggest "the study of stars" when in actuality, it's a bunch of useless mumbo-jumbo.
Astrology is at least based on something that was believed at some point. Scientology doesn’t even have that defense.
i think astronomy was the word you were looking for cause astrology is actually useful

I've gone down the Nuxanor rabbit hole today, and I have to say, you're pretty based. Subbed.
The best follow up to this video is Whang's video about 4channers memeing on Scientology following this very episode. The footage of a bunch of weebs in Anonymous masks Caramell Dansen infront of Scientology buildings. The fall of Scientology was smeared in shit. And boy was it fuckin funny.
There's a channel on UA-cam called "scientology audit" who makes it his goal to basically sit outside the scientology building in L.A. and discourage people from entering. He also mildy gives shit to all the workers. It's a range of emotions funny, sad, angering.
