"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?"
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
'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.'
this is good...all you humourless fellow Christians should get a life. As a priest I think this doesn't mock the Lord, it mocks clergy...particularly of the Anglican variety...and as one of them I can only say "good thing too"!
The lesson here folks, is to never upload anything vaguely to do with religion. Even if it is hilarious and brilliant it will be reduced from entertainment to a bunch of hotheads who want the last word arguing.
Don't sweat it, I think they're new, and most atheists think that they find it appropiate to discuss religion just to call their opponents immature and blind.
God loves you, Jesus died for ALL our sins. Jesus is the exact representation of God's love for us. For God SO loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal LIFE. John 3:16
"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?"
'And the crowd went absolutely bananas' get's me every time XD
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

Same
It's evil what your kind are doing to America and our freedom.
One of the most versatile comedians of all-time right here...from slapstick to monologue...just pure comedic genius!
I never get tired of this -it's brilliant!
I agree.
Great stuff
I never laughed so hard at the phrase "How the Hell did you do that!?" xD
"Behold this, for it is a carrot"
i want a T-shirt out of that!
Humour and joy will overcome human insanity... eventually.
and the Lord said: no
this part always makes me laugh
Kcnbk j
Me2😅
I'm a christian but I find this one of the funniest videos I have ever seen in my life good job Mr.atkinson
This is pure awesomeness! We're never seen anything like it...this is great!

No, that's not from this sketch
That's the version I remember
I can never get enough of this one
This is brilliant. I'm Christian but i don't find this offensive because it's hilarious without being crude. Rowan Atkinson is a legend
This can never get old!
this is brilliant stuff..on so many different levels.
Behold this, for it is a carrot.
+cumulo25
And all about him knew it was so.
For it was orange, with a green top.
Brilliant! His phrasing is perfect.
its time for the most awesome church service ever with Father Rowan Atkinson presiding.
"And they were filled with joy!" This guy is hilarious :D
This man is a treasure!
I wish this guy was the pastor at my church.
Oh my god this was absolutely GENIUS!
Absolutely brilliant
If church was like this I'd actually go..
That should be useful in response to affirming churches
A man of very rare quality and very eloquent and articulate
Never fails to make me laugh.
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.
Yes just like the children with leukaemia…. Your beliefs are as myopic as they are appalling. 👍
Absolutely hilarious! One of Rowan's best. The other Rowan (Williams) should try this one.
He is a legend.
Rowan Atkinson is the man!
AND ALL WERE AMAZED AND SAID THIS GUY SHOULD GO PROFESSIONAL
he's a legend..ROCK ON!!!!
WTF - you cut off the punch line!
There are many brilliant comedians, but Rowan Atkinson is one of the few who can be called a genius. He's at his best when he satirizes religion.
Come on people its comedy. And damn funny comedy at that.
This is brilliant.
That is clever! Well done. Now try using that intellect to understand the world without bias. Good luck and much love. PL
im just so fascinated on the way he talks cuz when i see him, all i can think is "bean" xD
Brilliant not seen this before ni like his work
Lolol, love that "Wait wtf did I just read?" look on his face at 0:48.
Funniest part in my opinion - 0:34, when he says "whence". LOL Rowan Atkinson is hilarious...
@InfernosNinthCircle WOW. i love it when truth lies there naked.
Tell that to those who died for it.
It's not canned laughter it was recorded live at The Huntington Theatre in Boston in 1991.
omfg i think i actually enjoyed this 30second ad
When you realize that you are in the wrong church🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Rowan Atkinson is so good. He can say all the comedy without laughing
Rowan is such an expert that even some christians can appreciate this
I love how you show us all your "christian love".
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
Love Rowan Atkinson.
Rowan Atkinson is the Legend Of Comedy....The Greatest comedian after Chaplin :P
Correction
The world has waited two thousand and eleven years for this.
This guy is so amazing that i think that even when he wants to be serious he is funny
I'm Christian and I think this vid is hilarious!
And the crowd went absolutely bananas

I'm a christian and don't believe my God is unhappy with me being happy about this!
I'm Christian, but this is brilliant
Now this is clean and funny humour - without strong words or farting - only a real comedian can achieve this.
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!
you are awesome
Click 0:00 to skip the commercials and go back to the beginning.

Thats true. I think this one was cut.
Atkinson is amazing@@
'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.

I wish sermons were this funny.
I would marry this man
Stunning comedy!
How I wish that our pope was Rowan Atkinson! :)
This is a pick me up. Everytime things gets staid & dull I watch. By Jove it works. 😊

The cure for all sadness: Rowan Atkinson

Bravo, bravo.
