I am now convinced this is how the Imperium of Man started believing in the Omnissiah. Someone just started saying "By the Emperor!" and "In the Emperor's name!" and soon it caught on, and now nobody has the heart to tell the tech-priests that he sort of never existed... :P

Reminds me of the time I was fishing. I’d just caught this huge fish, would’ve sold for a fortune. Anyway it wriggled about as I was unhooking it and I dropped it back into the water. “OH, MY COD!” I shouted. “What was that you dropped?” asked a nearby fisherman. “A dear cod” I said, thinking of how much it would’ve fetched at the market.

By Brexit...I mean Vectron, you're right!
@@simonhowles3646 Get Vectron Done!
The automatic captions on this are pure gold. 0:27 - in the name of the trauma i ask for for the mandate to pursue the antibiotic
It's as if vectron himself wrote those subtitles!
could THESE be the fabled scrolls from the first age of Vectron?!
I was imagining a Lord of the Rings version of this. Just after the Council of Elrond, some elf called Colin speaks up, so they get Saruman on conference call, and realise that they all got "Sauron's Ring" from a chance remark about a dodgy curry 3 weeks earlier.
Damn, this just really makes me want to be a part of the vectron cult 😂
Then by Vectron's light you shall be. FOR VECTRON!!!
I was amused when the Big Bad in 'Steamworld Heist' turned out to be 'Vectron'.
Immediately reminded me of this favourite old sketch.
Nice use of the Space : Above and Beyond theme tune. 😁👍❤️
I was about to mention the same thing.
BY VECTRON'S NAME, THAT SALUTE IS AWESOME
LOVE the robes of state!
We've all been there - had an afternoon off work, come back the next day, and they've started a new religion.
It's the will of Landru that Vectron be honoured. Fairly sure that Valon is onboard as well 🙂🤷♂️
Dungeons the Dragoning 40K 7.6th edition makes much more sense now...
By Vectron, who are the 38 people that cleary doesn't know his glory?
Should we not focus on the 4000 souls who have seen the glory of Vectron's kindly claw? Praise Vectron!
this sketch always speaks to me because in my family we also enjoy *really* commit to the bit as well, by Vectron's hoary breath.
I love how they all have a different salute.
“I ask for mandate to pursue the endeavour”
And this is a fine example of the danger in looking at things to closely.
Vectron is inspiring me to create a range of merchandise, yet i fear the wrath of the copyright monster. May Vectron in his wisdom guide me.
I am now convinced this is how the Imperium of Man started believing in the Omnissiah. Someone just started saying "By the Emperor!" and "In the Emperor's name!" and soon it caught on, and now nobody has the heart to tell the tech-priests that he sort of never existed... :P
Universe belongs to the Necrons 😝
I like how they're going to open a bottle of wine, loosen up with a few drinks, and see if they can "get back in the mood" of believing in Vectron... like when an amorous evening with one's spouse is interrupted by a knock at the door, the visitor is gotten rid of, and you've both returned to the make-out den but the lovemaking mood has chilled. 😂
Good lord what did I just read. How many fedoras do you own?
@@glenthemann : None. How many buttplugs do you own? Give me your mailing address, I'll have a few shipped immediately.
22 people are not smiled upon by Vectron. For Vectron!
Gareth Wilkins may mighty Vectron's talons rend them.
By my mighty name, I 100% endorse this skit.
Reminds me of the time I was fishing. I’d just caught this huge fish, would’ve sold for a fortune. Anyway it wriggled about as I was unhooking it and I dropped it back into the water. “OH, MY COD!” I shouted. “What was that you dropped?” asked a nearby fisherman. “A dear cod” I said, thinking of how much it would’ve fetched at the market. Anyways I pray every day that this never happens to me again, and my god doesn’t have a ridiculous backstory like this ‘Vectron’, though come to think of it, I don’t remember anyone speaking of my dear god until a few weeks after my fishing incident
Just discovered this show about a year ago. These guys are brilliant. Don't know how I missed it. Maybe it just didn't air in Canada.
