Larry/Deity 05: Rest for the wicked

[Thornbrier]

Took me forever to figure out why your Punked episode with Tor Kamata (a famous 'bad guy' pro-wrestler) was so funny. Then I realized you meant Tomás de Torquemada when you said here he was in the Inquisition.

Finally, the last of your jokes I never got has been cleared up. I love your work.

[Frungi]

I have to watch this on YouTube because the version in the podcast just stops a bit past halfway through.

[leporidus]

Same here. Good to have options.

[MattMacLean1991]

Did you know there is a song called "No rest for the wicked" by a band called "Cage the Elephant" :)

[afsqkbs]

yes! its a great song!

[onestepbelowgod]

Frost/Nixon parody?? very funny, as always :)

[misterdeity]

Yes, Frost/Nixon. If you haven't seen the "trailer" for these, watch it. It's an almost scene-for-scene rip-off of the Frost/Nixon trailer.

[visigothic67]

There is also no rest for those on the way to Brooklyn. No wait,sorry,. there is no SLEEP till Brooklyn.

My bad.

[FTLNewsFeed]

Love how serious Larry is! lol

[misterdeity]

Here's our production secret. We shot Jimbo's side of these (first ten questions) about six weeks ago --- questions and reactions. Then, I shot three of mine a couple weeks after, and the rest last week. Then, I just grab reactions from his shoot and pop 'em in. It's amazing what you can create in the edit.

[Katalyzt]

Do not forget about carneys! There is no rest for those evil carnival employees, not to mention clowns! Hahahahahaha! ★★★★★

[bigdaddykenkuo]

Is this relevant to the song by Cage the Elephant?

[HappyApostate]

Too funny! Damn! You guys never run out of wit, do you?

[misterdeity]

If we do run out of wit, you'll be one of the first to know.

[FiestyKiki]

mr. diety you are a comic genius... your timing with the side comments you mutter are bloody hilarious.

[ARCatholic]

Glad pz myers introduced me to this channel,,, funny stuff

[misterdeity]

PZ has agreed to be on the show. He'll be in LA in October -- for an event we're coincidentally performing at, so we're going to find time to have him shoot an episode of Mr. Deity with us.

[pockets881]

I think this is the greatest bit of news i have heard ever...

[bonelessjesus]

Can't wait for that. I also was introduced to Mr. Deity via Phayngula.

[Caturdayz]

Love it, keep the humor coming

[misterdeity]

Well... alright.

[davemacdo]

If they got rest, they wouldn't be very weary, now would they??

[misterdeity]

Great point!

[misterdeity]

BTW, I believe the original saying "No rest for the wicked" (if that did indeed came first) was about how one's conscience wouldn't let the wicked get a good night's sleep. I think we all know better --- don't we Celine????!!!!!!

[ForgotMyGingko]

Woot. Seriously - today was a craptacular day. I log in to facebook, see this here linky-dink and suddenly things got a whole lot better.

Hm, how's an atheist bestow a blessing upon Mr. Deity without causing logic vortex?

[Antiunfunktasticize]

An atheist is not afraid of they vortex. Therefore no vortex happens.

[misterdeity]

I got logic vortex once. My doctor prescribed penicillin and it went away in about 10 days. Very painful though.

[debbieomi]

You guys are so incredible! I get positively giddy when I see something new has been posted by you. :-)

[misterdeity]

Giddy is good! Positively giddy is bliss --- not quite "ignorance bliss," but bliss nonetheless.

[mjstillwater57]

Ignorance is bliss. So, naturally I'm miserable. Finding a new Deity post is orgasmic....well, for those of us with genitalia.

[Chesterton7]

great.

was looking for a stronger punch at the end, but very funny.

[misterdeity]

Yeah, me too. I blame Jimbo.

[mjstillwater57]

You're going to punch Jimbo??

[CousinoMacul]

Give it a rest!

:-P
