This cut off the very end of the bit, which goes like this: "Then did the host of the party entreat unto the Lord, saying, 'Go thou up nigh unto Jerusalem and perform for them." And when the Lord asked why, he was told, 'Because that's where the money is.' So he did go up to Jerusalem, but, alas, they were a much tougher crowd, and he was absolutely crucified."
"And he cleft her in twaine! And there was much wailing and knashing of teeth!" lol one of the best parts! of course besides "How the hell did you do that?"
No matter how bad you think your life, wake up each day and be thankful for what you have. Someone somewhere is fighting just to survive. God still loves you.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong; but I saw this performance a couple decades ago and I remember it going for a bit longer; Jesus answers those who claim that he must be the son of god, saying that he's only a forebearer of Paul Daniels.
Paul Daniels is a very popular TV magician / entertainer here in the UK. He's been around since the 1970's and is still doing the rounds ! Rowan was just making a clever joke using Paul Daniels name and Paul & Daniel as the sketch involved magic entertainment and biblical characters ! I hope that clarifies your question !!
Less rage, but more presumption. But for the sake of discussion, it perhaps is important to recognize that, while it does comfort and soothe and bring peace to many people, sure, there's not reason to think it's true. That is to say, there's no reasoning.
I love the paused double take when he reaches the point where the reading departs from the actual scripture...where the preacher is trying to figure out if he remembers this properly. :D
@emptycorp respect is earned not given to those that dont deserve it, giving respect to people who dont deserve it causes alot of pain for alot of people who shouldnt have to suffer it.
If you refer to my posted video of my niece with the Jets outfit on, that's her Daddy's fault. He became a Jets fan that year after being a Packers fan for 20 years. I'll let you guess why.
'But the Lord said "Nay, I am but he who comes before", and they were sore amazed and said "Then Master, how shall we know the true Lord?" and Jesus said "By his name shall ye know him, and he shall have a slightly religious name, and he shall be called Paul. And Daniels shall he be called.". "Paul Daniels?" they cried. And Jesus said "Yes. Something like that". Here endeth the lesson.'
In the version i know, Rowan says "I am the one that comes before, and i shall be called paul, and Daniels shall be my name, PAUL DANIELS ??? - yes, something like that....That part seems to be missing.
@GODandPEACE Your are most welcome, Rowan Atkinson is a funny as man thou aint he. His career was truly full of entertainment and laughs that just don't leave my mind.
One of the most versatile comedians of all-time right here...from slapstick to monologue...just pure comedic genius!
As a devout Christian, I love this so much! I think God loves the joyful noise of our laughter.
Yes God has a great sense of humour, I think he would totally laugh!
Yeah guys awesome

"And he cleft her in twaine! And there was much wailing and knashing of teeth!" lol one of the best parts! of course besides
"How the hell did you do that?"

Humour and joy will overcome human insanity... eventually.
I can never get enough of this one
Brilliant! His phrasing is perfect.

I never laughed so hard at the phrase "How the Hell did you do that!?" xD

This man is a treasure!
Behold this, for it is a carrot.

I'm a christian but I find this one of the funniest videos I have ever seen in my life good job Mr.atkinson
I wish this guy was the pastor at my church.

This guy is so amazing that i think that even when he wants to be serious he is funny
@InfernosNinthCircle WOW. i love it when truth lies there naked.
"And they were filled with joy!" This guy is hilarious :D
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong; but I saw this performance a couple decades ago and I remember it going for a bit longer; Jesus answers those who claim that he must be the son of god, saying that he's only a forebearer of Paul Daniels.
That is clever! Well done. Now try using that intellect to understand the world without bias. Good luck and much love. PL
Rowan Atkinson is so good. He can say all the comedy without laughing

Bravo, bravo.
It's not canned laughter it was recorded live at The Huntington Theatre in Boston in 1991.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
he just class
awww...cnt we all just get along?
Rowan is da best
Funniest part in my opinion - 0:34, when he says "whence". LOL Rowan Atkinson is hilarious...
im just so fascinated on the way he talks cuz when i see him, all i can think is "bean" xD
Less rage, but more presumption.
But for the sake of discussion, it perhaps is important to recognize that, while it does comfort and soothe and bring peace to many people, sure, there's not reason to think it's true. That is to say, there's no reasoning.
Rowan Atkinson is hilarious!
Go Rowan!!!
Click 0:00 to skip the commercials and go back to the beginning.
And the crowd went absolutely bananas
omfg i think i actually enjoyed this 30second ad
Rowan is such an expert that even some christians can appreciate this
If church was like this I'd actually go..
I would marry this man
How I wish that our pope was Rowan Atkinson! :)
Rowan Atkinson is the Legend Of Comedy....The Greatest comedian after Chaplin :P
rowan atkinson is a genius
I love the paused double take when he reaches the point where the reading departs from the actual scripture...where the preacher is trying to figure out if he remembers this properly.
:D
Lolol, love that "Wait wtf did I just read?" look on his face at 0:48.
i'm christian , n im enjoy :D
i lI saw him to have fun
awesomeness!!!!!!!! :D
I wish sermons were this funny.
Classis Atkinson. Reminds me of the sermon he gave in the movie "Keeping Mum."
This is a pick me up. Everytime things gets staid & dull I watch. By Jove it works. 😊
I'm Christian, but this is brilliant
Correction
The world has waited two thousand and eleven years for this.
@emptycorp respect is earned not given to those that dont deserve it, giving respect to people who dont deserve it causes alot of pain for alot of people who shouldnt have to suffer it.
Thanks @aibo, awesome video!
I'm Christian and I think this vid is hilarious!
If you refer to my posted video of my niece with the Jets outfit on, that's her Daddy's fault. He became a Jets fan that year after being a Packers fan for 20 years. I'll let you guess why.
'But the Lord said "Nay, I am but he who comes before", and they were sore amazed and said "Then Master, how shall we know the true Lord?" and Jesus said "By his name shall ye know him, and he shall have a slightly religious name, and he shall be called Paul. And Daniels shall he be called.". "Paul Daniels?" they cried. And Jesus said "Yes. Something like that". Here endeth the lesson.'
Now this is clean and funny humour - without strong words or farting - only a real comedian can achieve this.
OH wow I haven't laughed this hard in awhile!! I wouldn't be suprised if this is how the story actually happened. Brilliant!!
bravo!
I'm enjoying the religious disputes going on here...just enjoy the humor like normal people
I'm a christian and don't believe my God is unhappy with me being happy about this!
I agree. Jesus had a sense of humor!
"how the hell did you do that" that was funny hhahahaha
Listening, closely.
"..and the whole crowd went, absolutely, 'bananas'. "
In the version i know, Rowan says "I am the one that comes before, and i shall be called paul, and Daniels shall be my name, PAUL DANIELS ??? - yes, something like that....That part seems to be missing.
What does it matter if you're a Christian or an atheist? Just shut up and enjoy the video. Rowan Atkinson is brilliant :)
2:30 My favorite line
Wow what a great christian you are, God must be very proud of you that you allow yourself to find this funny. How faithfull you are..
@GODandPEACE Your are most welcome, Rowan Atkinson is a funny as man thou aint he. His career was truly full of entertainment and laughs that just don't leave my mind.
I am quite sure there are no one in the world who can perform this joke in funnier manner than rowan atkinson.
Lighten up brother!
