"Jerry Falwell's God" is on my CD "Homeland," available through my website and on iTunes. Here, I perform the song at the Skeptics Society conference. - Комедії
You know you struck comedy gold when you listen to this almost 20 years later and it's still ring true. 😂
15 yrs ago and this still is relevant
"I am no heavenly host but I throw a decent party"... genius!
I must say, Roy, you have got to be one of the single greatest comedian/musician/satirical performers I have yet to see, a huge thumbs up to you.
This guy is my kind of crazy!
"I am no heavenly host but I throw a decent party"... Priceless !!!! :)
Christopher Hitchens said: "If you gave Falwell an enema he could be buried in a matchbox."
LOL! Yup! genius way of saying how full of shit Falwell was...
One of his best quotes ❤
Wish he was still here on the forefront, we need more like him rn.
@@scottblack7182 wasn't Hitchens a big proponent of invading Iraq?
@@eldrago19Yes he was. Hitchen’s views were all over the place. He was against the Vietnam War but after 9/11 he abandoned his anti-war views. I followed Hitchens as I am an atheist, and he was a brilliant atheist!
even after all this time i still come back to listen to this song. it's a classic!
Roy is in fact one of the sane voices in America. Learn your history, man. Also: lighten up.
Great points made, especially on "What Jesus would NOT do!"
Jerry Falwell puts the "MENTAL" in FundaMENTAL!
Another great satiric ditty from Roy Z.
I'm impressed that 117 folks from the 700 club watched this video!
It's up to 4000 after 17 years lol.
"And I thought, 'Man, you ARE the town square.'"
That one took me a moment.
Roy Zimmerman is my hero, together with Penn&Teller... Keep on winning point positivists... uauhuahuhahu
Bless you my child, that was freaking good
Rocket
man no matter how many times you see this vid it never gets old.
a zimmerman classic!!
Being in heaven with Jerry Falwell is the same as Hell. There is no way an eternity with pure Evil and Hate can be good.
man, you ARE the town square!
"You ARE the town square." *dies laughing*
man, you ARE the town square! always gets a laugh from me.
yess weekly segment on the daily show is very much needed
Roy Zimmerman is by far my new favorite artist.
5 STARS!!!
That was so cool, I don't even know what to say.
That's awesome! I'll have to remember that one.
you songs are fantastic!
"and he made the lame walk, now these were my friends. they were still lame but they could walk!"
best line in the whole song :)
Dude, you're hilarious, and you have great musical talent. Keep this stuff comin'!
Some people never outgrow the need for a security blanket; in a perverse way I'm thankful there are so many of them; it lessens the competition for many jobs, especially in the sciences ... it also dumbs us down from our collective potential.
Some people never outgrow the need for self-indulgence and wear their fanaticism and ignorance as a badge of pride never realising one goes with the other.
I *adore* Dorothy Parker. Such a witty lady and one of my favorite poets! Now I just love her more. Thanks for letting me know this!
I enjoyed hearing this song in church last week. If only RZ were there to perform it live. Come to Michigan Mr. Z.... It is only 2,500 miles away and our weather is so lovely...
Oh My GAWD!!!!! How fabulous was this?!?!?!
This is a great tune, but, the best line comes from the comments section: "What about the good Jerry Falwell has done?"
Now that's comedy!
LOL!
against some forms of insanity which will not listen to reason, mockery is the most appropriate response.
"and he made the lame to walk. and these were my friends, so they were still lame but they could walk!"
Best line: "You ARE the Town Square"!
"....and he smote me."
GOLD.
God yes, yes, and yes.
Well if you have ever listened to Falwell, Robertson, and that ilk you may realize that there is a tragic misprint in the Bible where it says "He made the lame to walk." The actual interpretation according to the International Just Logical and Not Necessarily Theological Association of Realists and Medical Marijuana Growers is:
"He made the lame to TALK"
He also said: The masses are like an animal that obeys instincts AND Only the fanaticised masses can be guided AND What luck for rulers that men do not think AND The art of all popular leaders consisted at all times in concentrating the attention of the masses on a single enemy.
He was brought up Catholic and observed how power was used; he learnt from the best. You don't have to be too much smarter than average to be smarter than average.
"That was... out loud did you know that?" XD
"Jesus would not wreck a guy's party"
This comes into my head at least once a week
well he tries to join in but the siesta music sucks
Dang it all Roy, How the Hell did I miss this one???, It's>>EPIC :)) Sincerely Gee☆Lee.
« Everyone of us will be standing before God oneday »
If it exists and gives everybody an audience.
« all God required(s) of humans is to believe in Jesus Christ »
And to obey his commands, et cetera. Don't worry, you're not required to be a good, moral person, as long as you believe and obey.
Though personally I'm happy being a freelance moral philosopher. No self-important beaurocracy to wait on, no history of hypocrisy or violence to justify, and I get to be happy with the moral decisions I make every day. Plus I get to have fun by studying various religious and secular philosophies from around the world. It really is an eye-opener into both sociolgy and psychology. I do adore Ebon Musing's "New Ten Commandments," though!
totally absolutely one of my favourites of yours! classic
AWESOME! 5 stars, favoured, and bought the CD!
Putting Jerry Falwell in his place! Well done! Priceless! Now, please, Roy, do the same for Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart, the Pope, George W Bush, Dick Cheney, and Rush Limbaugh. You sure have alot to work with here!
Blessed are the comedians for they shall give pause to all religious zealots, hypocrites, and other uncritical thinkers that revel and wallow in this fear-based catastrophe of a society!
I love Roy. I don't think he's a Christian, but he's written so many songs that point out how far some people disconnect their beliefs from what Christianity is really about, and I love that he acknowledges that there's a difference between people who do things in the name of a belief system and the tenets of the belief system itself.
This is WAY excelent!
Pity I'm living in a country of non-believers they don't know how much FUN christianity can be.
i favorited this one many yeatrs ago and i still love listening to it :)
thxs roy :)
I just watched this song and the creationism song. You are just one heck of a priceless man! Great job!
Yeah, that film is quite interesting. Food for thought, definitely.
While I feel (some) empathy for the Falwell family, I can not help feeling relief and a little joy at Jerry Falwell's death. Because of his constant hate-spewing, I can never tell my grandparents about my religion, the people I hang out with or the people I love. It is because of the hate of him and his ilk that I my friends are beaten.
That is his legacy to all those close to me.
So bravo Roy, for one of my favorite satire songs. Keep up the good work.
Ah,that was indeed refreshing : ]
This is brilliant! So witty, so acutely accurate. Brava!
Amazing, I watched all your videos. I expect I will have to buy the album. Great Work!!!
So fitting a tribute to he dead - Jerry - thank Gawd. Great ditty man.
Thank gods for this video!
This guy is briliant...a satirist of the finest calibre!
OH! Laugh my arse off!!! Fantastic!
What a great performance to bad Jerry's not here to listen to this wonderful song!
He may well have done way back when (he died three months after this video went online). I hardly reckon it reduced him to tears.
Just enjoy the music. It's funny, and fun!
This was brilliant!
clapping my hands as i watch this keep it up
The ending was ridiculously hilarious.
I love this one! Thanks Roy :)
Thank you SO much for summing up exactly why I left Christianity.
That was a great song, Roy! Those 111 people who disliked this video obviously have no sense of humor or sense of real decency...
Actually, as a Christian, this video causes me to ponder what is the nature of the God believers display in their daily life. I believe we deserve the mocking, and not God, for displaying a parody of Jesus. But when He will ne truly revealed as He is through His body, the Church, (and the evidence of this will be wonder-working love), then the world will wonder, and many will come to Him. Thanks, Roy... you're only helping us get there sooner!
It's a COMEDY ROUTINE folks. Lighten up this guy is AWESOME!
"you are the town sqare"...!!! XD I cried!
By the way, I commend your service in Vietnam. Whether or not the war was just, you guys deserved better when you all got home.
I just bought 16 tracks of his from ITunes last night. My non-UA-cam favorites: "Everybody's Ugly", "Fucking for Chastity", "Kill a Doctor for Christ", and "When the Saints Go Marching Into New Orleans" (as a cajun funeral march = brilliant!). "America" has sharply hilarious analogies as well. :-D
This guy is awesome- Sometimes the "TRUTH" Hurts
Brilliant conception. I smell sitcom.
"and he smote me" !!!!!!
Absolutely love it
amazing.
Beats the hell out of church music!
made me smile man. keep it up!
you are alright rebecca and I think you know in your deepest heart, the part where you are truthful with your self, you know whats right and wrong and just because a religious figure like a priest or nun or reverend or whatever does some terrible thing doesnt mean God is to be blamed. God is into a personal relationship not a representative relationship--peace
Jeereee Falweee's Gooood...
HUA!
This guy is awesome lol.
Happy Easter!! :-) When a talented poet challenges the authoritarian folks with wit, good humor, and truth, it sure seems to bring out the crazies in the comment column... Nice video Roy!! I heard this song for the 3rd or 4th time on Robbie Osman's radio show, so decided to look it up on UA-cam! Thanks for sharing!! Outstanding!! :-)
"Man, you are the town square" ROFL, it took me like ten seconds to get that
Jerry Falwell does have some damn good points, at the tips of the horns on his head.
Bravo!
'god is everything' aparentley
Dude! We have the same God! Mine's at the Beach too. ,
He's a hell of a surfer XD
Because I want to make up for clogging up Roy's comments with troll food, I gotta contribute some kudos.
Roy Zimmerman = awesome. Keep posting the fantastic funnies!
love it. keep it up.
your my god Roy!
i like this guy.
That's an excellent summary of his most important point: that people only absorb themselves whole-heartedly into a(n un)holy cause when they're feeling weak or insecure as individuals. Same goes for all bigotry in general. It's all about feeling like you're high enough on the ladder of success because there's still someone below you. It's dumbfounding how much of the crap people put each other through is explained by this.
I've been singing this at work.
this is great :)
this guy is pretty awesome
amen to that...that would be amazing.
Great video mate, well done =)
yardy14...thank you for saying that...I love you.
Man he's so lucky to be able to do commentary music like this and (presumably) get paid for it. Awesome.
