I got collared by Scientologists back when I was a student in Devon!
I was sheltering from the rain under an awning of what turned out to be one of their 'shops,' and they invited me in so I could be 'warm ' as well. And then it was "Oh, while you're in here, do you know much about what we do..?" They put me in this room on my own full of bean-bags to sit on, where I watched a video so boring as to be borderline hypnotic. It was about an hour long, and I kept toying with the idea of legging it out of there, but the combination of being slumped in a bean bag instead of a proper chair and watching this snoozeworthy video left me too 'can't-be-arsed' to try. Ans every now and then I was aware of the door opening and a head poking in to check on me and then going back out again and closing the door behind them.
When the hour was up, they took me back upstairs and gave me the personality test. It's a multiple-choice thing, not unlike those 'what kind of girlfriend are you?' tests they sometimes have in tweenie girls' magazines. And then they added up my score and shook their heads in despair. Apparently I was such a dysfunctional trainwreck of a person, the only thing that could save me from my own self was joining the Scientologists RIGHT NOW.
I asked for a day to think about it, then went home and was thoroughly depressed, with my self-esteem in the toilet, for the rest of that day. But then I woke up next morning and thought "what a bunch of devious tossers," and never went back. Amazing what a good night's sleep and a bacon sarnie can do for a broken soul ;)

I wonder if they've ever looked at the test results and gone "well, looks like you're already brilliant. Don't need our religion at all. Have an awesome life. Feel free to use our TV and beanbag chairs anytime for whatever".
melkor: I did the test in french a few years ago.I understood maybe 50% of the questions and of those maybe 50% of the replies offered.I gave the least like me answers to those ,the rest was just tick any box.When my 'results' came through I explained that everything he said was based on bs so it could not be true,apparently I was guided in my replies so the test was valid😀!I do hope my neighbour from the next street but one forgives me for giving their address and I truely hope the phone number was completely false or the local police
I wish no harm to anyone with religion or faith but please leave me alone.
@melkor: I'd probably have wrecked it all by eyeing up the beanbags and saying "Can I take one home? It'd go great with the traffic cone my housemate nicked while on a drunken night out."
The same thing happened to me when I was about 18 and was in Plymouth traveling on holiday. I was invited in to one of their places and, as I had about 4 hours to kill waiting for a bus, I went along. They gave me a booklet to read which was wittering on about how much ones soul weighed and that you could measure the reduction in weight at the moment of death and all sorts of other crap, and then some guy came along to talk to me and was saying stuff complete in contradiction to the content of the booklet and I started to pointing out all the contradictions and getting him all flustered, so he went away and another guy came in. I was starting to enjoy myself at this point and spent a happy half hour ripping this guys nonsense to pieces, at which point, I am very proud to say, three of them came in and they very firmly asked me to leave.
Funny how this is now a deleted scene, so the only way to watch this clip is on UA-cam.
+Stu Mackenzie now what would really have baked your noodle is if Richard had said as well as cat videos you can watch this very clip were filming now lol
+Rich West isn't that when you make your clothes less wrinkly?
+Sam Lee That was poor effort at sarcasm bud.
I only just caught that by Sam Lee thanks to a pop up from Bobandy. I now wish to be made exempt from this thread. I'm seeking a Threadexit. I can accept certain levels of comedic existence but Rich West has gone lower than I can tolerate. I realise I may De-stabilize the thread by leaving it but no worries, you can be sure if it doesn't work out for me, I'll be back and say I was just joking guys!
I wonder what caused it to be deleted. But youtube is always great place to find rare clips like that
What David described is exactly what happened to Jez in Peep Show?
Yeah, what the hell, that was the series 5 finale back in 2008. Is it possible that both David and Robert forgot about it in five years? Life imitates Art.
Maybe it was a sneaky reference to Peep Show, considering Robert was sitting right there I feel like one of them should've mentioned it.
His Peep Show character is just a caricature of himself.
Just goes to show these hacks have limited material.
billiepiperstits - God, you're a wet blanket aren't you.
I really love British humor and these shows and all, but the more I watch, the more it seems like the UK has about 15 celebrities total that they shuffle between all their comedy shows and panel shows
That's a bit much! 15 I mean...thought it was lower...
What's a really funny ad-lib American panel show?
We don't really have them, there were a few in the 70s and 80s maybe but they're not really on US TV much.
It's more a case of one or two agencies that are agents for most of the guys that are on these shows a lot-the people that are only on once or twice usually don't have the same agent or management as the mainstays
It's all to do with politics in the tv world
Me and a mate once did a Scientology personality test. they told him there was nothing they could do for him, but suggested they could help me if I bought their book. I was well gutted that something in there seemed to suggest to them that maybe I was a gullible twat
streams of consciousness
Dude, that sucks. On a completely unrelated note, I've got this bridge I'm selling...
damn! I just bought one last week! Can't wait to have it delivered...
that's sick, and it's not the modus operandi i was thought when i was a scientologist. The basic idea is that ANYONE can be conned into taking the division 6, ie starter courses. Then based on your tendency to tell them they're full of shit they might label you an SP, suppressive person, and tell everyone in their community YOU're full of shit.
You seem smart to me, good on you for not going down with their scam. On a side note, would you be interested in sending me an investment so I can get my time machine to market?
I feel the need to ask, Omar Khan. Why don't you send yourself the investment from the future using the proceeds of your successful time machine venture?
I took one of their tests. When they wanted me to buy the book, I told them I didn't have the money and asked if I could borrow the money. After borrowing the money, I told them I didn't have any money for food so it would be best if instead of buying the book, I bought something to eat. I'll return the money eventually.
I love this.
David was a great host,
here and on The Bubble.
He needs to get another show.
What the hell is UA-cam? They have videos? Sounds shit, why in the world would anyone go to that kind of site.
warning strong language
1. this is the internet
2. surprising coming from channel 4
what is this 'youtube' he speaks of?
FUTrading I hope to discover it one day.
FUTrading I think it has something to do with a hollow cylindrical object and a Gerbil...at least, thats what Ive heard around the Bingo table.
The Creeper And funny cats, don't forget!
+ChilliFish sadly all the cats have gone now, it's just music videos, angsty teenagers and people falling off things. I miss the cats. I did see a video of a parrot going apeshit, which was nice, bit of nature there.
What is? And why does it matter?
I did their test in France ,in french,a few years ago.25% I could answer accurately,25% I could answer in a vaguely accurate way and 50% I had no idea so I guessed.The man told me some old guff that applies to everyone and when I told him my results would be strange he told me that was okay because I would have been guided by some outside force.Anyway gave him the name and address of someone I didn’t like and left feeling that tea leaf readers and palmists put on a better show.
David is such a cunning linguist.
Hahaha, I enjoyed that
lygophile hi I know this was a year ago but the joke is "cunning linguist" = "cunnilingus"
oh that is what the joke is
Stephen Casey yeah, but how is cunnilingus relevant?
What did you call him?
Someone needs to have a channel, or something - that is nothing but deleted scenes and cut material from these types of shows.
It's like watching the edited and aired versions of Mock the Week (generally during the Frankie Boyle Era) and seeing a jump, where you just know that there was a good 15 minutes of material that they simply had to cut, and feeling a bit robbed because you know it would have been fucking hilarious.
Too many negative Orgones in this video. Shocked that Jared didn't say anything.
you obviously know way too much about scientology
I took a personality test once, but I flunked it. :(
atomicdancer That means you don't have a personality.
You're a comic genius, Conway.
I took one of those. It told me I might consider working in Human Resources, but also said - I swear this is true - that my answers suggested I care about other people, and 'people are not important in Human Resources'. The test was probably accurate...
I took a blood test and failed it twice.
@@ashleyhyatt6319 Your name doesn't sound Transylvanian at all.
I have been searching for this, where Mickey does the: "telling `em to fuck right off"
This show would be brought back
Someone pointed out that there is a stable of "fifteen" (I'm thinking more like twenty five) comics who occupy all the various u.k. panel shows. I'll suggest that it's because it's very hard to do well. If you watch these things way too much like i do, you may notice that attempts to grow the stable definitely happen regularly, and with low percentages... many try, few persist.
Watching this on UA-cam 👍🏻 It's the future!
I'm a bit concerned with cultists too.
well jokes on you, im watching this on youtube
I've lived most of my life about 8 blocks away from the LA center. Holy shit, those people are creepy.
I've just realised this show was advertised and I didn't watch it and why did I not do that? Ah well! the joy is mine now...
wow. I'm watching this on the internet right now!!
"Hello, you're full of dead space alien souls...and only we can help you!"
/Shorter $cientology
"hello, your immortal soul will burn in hell.... and only we can help you" any christian church
Why is there only one series? It's brilliant
watching this on youtube. oh shit
A UA-cam video about a TV show talking about UA-cam videos...
I'll have to mention this in my podcast. Hopefully someone will blog about it.
😷 Hadn't thought of that but you're right!
It's ironic hat this ended up on youtube
You can't top hat!
As an American, I’m embarrassed to say that British comedians are so much funnier than American comedians, by far!
Why does Jez constantly look like he’s about to burst into laughter and tears
I took the test.
Turned out I was perfect.
Despite having to perform stand up layer that day, I was the least stressed person they'd ever tested.
Managed to keep the needle on zero the entire test.
(I think this means I'm god)
I don't believe for a second that David M is "feeble minded" : )
Spare a thought for all those are a dying of it, friend.
You would be surprised. Many people think they are too clever to be manipulated, and so don't admit to themselves that it is happening (even if they are actually clever). They don't want to admit that they got duped or that the money they have invested has gone down the drain, and the deeper they get, the bigger the time and money investment it is, and eventually they are fully indoctrinated into the cult. Counter intuitively, realising that you can be manipulated makes you a lot less likely to be manipulated
Absolutely first class!
It's funny noticing who squirms at what topics. Won't name names because I'm probably just high and wrong, but there were some interesting reactions on the panel when this was brought up. Much to think about.
Not all of these were outtakes. Some of them were actually "intakes". Do wish they'd get another series. Loved the show!
I need to check out this... U-tube.
The internet is flooding FTA TV licencing. Actors etc need to update their contracts asap !
0:04 Tywin Lannister casually hanging out out off screen for most of the clip.
Oh, simpler times. Back when Gangnam Style & Scientology we’re our biggest problems
Or at least we thought so.
Now it's our inability to spell.
I think Micky Flanagan and David Mitchell is a genius combination
Courses are what you make of them. So why not just make it of what ever.
Yep, just by Goodge Street Station. I did it for a laugh. Turns out they tell everyone they fail the test afterwards, so they can flog the dianetics books.
he basically described what happens to Jeremy in the Peep show
vodka makes the world an interesting project worth investigating
be careful not to drink it with certain medications tho, i heard about a guy who drank vodka while on diabetic meds, vodka turned into formaldehyde in his body, went blind, and the hospital he was at didn't have any ethanol drips to counter it; fortunately they did have an off-license so they put him on a whiskey drip, in about 3 days his sight returned
CorvusCorone68 Hey, I just came from that QI video.
this stuff is actually funnier than the edited show they end up airing
Funny how this scene plus the scene about Tom Cruise were deleted from the same episode. It's almost like they were being afraid of getting sued.
I feel like Richard was trying not to talk about it.
The only thing I could think watching this is "What is Tywin Lannister doing there ?"
You are e a very funny man.
If there is a term that does not come to mind regarding David Mitchell, it's feeble-minded.
0:38 "im probably preaching to the converted" ... did he just call out that im going to be watching this on UA-cam?!
It would've been so meta if richard ayoade said that this might be on youtube
Well that was disappointing... I was expecting something with a bit more teeth. The idea of Moss laying into the farce that is Scientology (grudgingly capitalised) was worth the ticket price alone.
I thought so as well. But I here Scientologists tend to be very litigious so not only would the comedians might want to dance around it a bit but they might have deleted that from the deleted scene if that were the case as well.
I can see why they cut this out. Bit awkward
I blinked and missed the bit where they mentioned scientology.
I was the only person to pass a personality test.
So, basically british panel shows consist of the same dozen comedians, who trade places every other week? Doesn't matter, I still love it!
Beard suits him.
+Terncote What the hell do you think a beard is? A wig you put on your face after you shave?
I think what he means is that it's not properly sculpted.
Why was this censored? Mildest thing ever.
No just a deleted scene
Probably was just a bit too boring to make the cut.
Or because its about scientologists and they tend to sue anyone who openly disagrees with them...
Kalden_Gaming Which is why channel 4 published it on the internet. Obviously...
LeoMRogers You can get away with a lot of things on the internet that you wouldn't be able to on TV. I am amazed that this video hasn't been taken down however.
Why was there only one series of this??? :'(
Can't disagree with you on the merits, J. Harrison. But, it was fun while it lasted. If you told me that there was a show featuring David Mitchell, Mickey Flannegin and Richard Ayoade, I'd say "I"m in!" If you then told me that it was a show based, mainly, on them bantering back and forth about famous quotes from history, I'd say "I'm even more in!' Then, if you told me that they had guest panelists, and a guest reader, who also happened to me comedians, I'd say "Shoot me now, it doesn't get any better than this!" *sigh* Unfortunately, the show was shit. What are ya gonna do.
Man, this UA-cam thing sounds interesting. Anyone know how I can check it out?
"Fuck" and "bullshit" ... yup, real strong language there.
When was this on? Missed this completely :-(
I'm a struggling actor in Los Angeles, and I've done commercials for Scientology because they pay really well. For legal reasons, that's all I'm going to say on the matter.
What is Tywin Lannister doing there?
+Benny Yu Well you know, when you're planning a red wedding and you think to yourself this is exhausting, so you decide to stop by a panel show.
"Try the internet." As we all watch this on UA-cam.
"ehit'swerf'a'goinnit?"
For Vectron!
1:08 Feebleminded, yeah right. David, you're the fellow that felt even the slightest bit of goosegrass was considered an unethically alternative medicine.
It's the new wellness centre and Jared is going to go in
So they deleted the tv clip telling people to check out UA-cam and the Internet and then put it on UA-cam, well played channel four, well played
"This video has been removed by the Church of Scientology, for making Tom Cruise cry.
---
Sorry about that :/"
CHARLES DANCE!!!!
I don't think David would convert. I think after a dose of his angry logic, Scientologists would all renounce their religion
Charles Dance!
Hammer time!
I nearly became a scientologist once.
But then I realised that I'm not the kind of idiot that falls for that kind of nonsense.
So, when is David Mitchell and Richard Ayodaoe? ... Ayodoine? ... Ayoade! So when is David Mitchell and Richard Ayoade going to create their own show and just own all of UA-cam and the BBC?
scientologists approach people in pubs ? That's news to me.
this was hilarious
Moss for PM!
I think the reason WISIS got cancelled was not because of David Mitchell, but those other two goons, I am not saying they aren't good at what they do but the chemistry, is not just right on this show. David could have carried the whole thing himself and just brought on opposing teams with two people each each every week.
We are the converted.
DavidMitchell's orgone levels must be through the roof.
Didn't know this T.V. show existed, until I bought internet.
At "bullshit gathering" I fell irrecoverably in love with David Mitchell.
I'm a convert. Don't have a telly.
They try and sell you a book, whatever your personality..
Mitchell's fear here that he might get sucked in by it all is one I share.
Jez’s orgones were low in this
internet?
Whatever happened to this show?
Lmfao, it was worth a go...
the British humor, just fish out insecurities and shit on it lol
This could be risky. I've never come across a Scientologist. Could someone explain why people hate them so much. Just interested.
Scientologists are kinda creepy. When i was one we were taught a specific speech pattern to ensure the best communication possible. That's how they put it. Then we used it for handling, which is the term they use for manipulating people. But it's not like there's a course on handling. At least i think there isn't, it wasn't in my training program. It's something you learn by being handled and by other subtle clues in various courses. It grows on you and you start to do it without realizing it. While i was working there I actually suggested to divert money from the british front to other more profitable venues. Because of british language and culture, they are practically impervious to handling. Just as, in the second world war, Hitler's riling speeches wouldn't have worked on the british public. Of course they didn't listen, they never do. And i'm glad to know the british church of scientology is hemorrhaging money like an ebola victim because of this very reason. In conclusion, they're not all con artists like people seem to think. Most are decent people. And thick as pig shit. But some of us were world class cunts. Usually the higher ups.
Because it's based around the extremely unethical practice of playing on vulnerable people, and exploiting them for financial gain.
I think the panelist who didn't speak might have been a Scientologist.
that's miles jupp, glad to let you know he's not a scientologist
@@benjaminmorris7159 I see his bio says that he's a PK (Preacher's Kid) so perhaps he simply felt it wasn't good sport to pick on the religiously afflicted.
0:45
So, this was cut from the show? Scared of Scientology? Scientologists are scary as effing hell.
Well this is meta isn't it...
Who's the longhaired one?
Mickey Flanagan
