  • Too funny! You had me cracking up! I'm a worship leader and I think that covers the gist of it, hahaha...

  • @timfuge lol! Found my lost hamster. I will find my lost gerbil & share a laugh with Jesus who has a wacky & delightfully unusual sense of humour.

  • Loved this! I need a MOsH pit for flailing around with the joy I have for my King Jesus. So happy to call youse my brothers. See ya at the Lamb's table.

  • Sad.

  • I hope this is a comedy but even if it is, it isn't funny but pathetic.

    Worshiping a Holy God isn't a joking matter, EVER! Are you worshiping the Lord or showing off for man?

  • I love this!! They showed in my youth group and every one began to " aume position" lol

  • Where's the LOVE button? Like is NOT strong enough! Great job! So great, we'd LOVE to copy it & do the same at our lil' church! Would that be kosher with y'all? :)

  • I want a spanish version of this

  • cool video :)

    

  • This is right up my alley for laughs!

  • Dying lol.... It's funny because some people really think this is what you should do to really worship God lol

  • Love it!

  • What's the name of the song?

  • If your to embarrassed to worship god because your self conscious about what everyone else is thinking about you, then all your doing is just denying god. Jesus said himself, that if you deny his father, then his father will deny you before the gates of heaven.

  • I will not raise my hands in the church anymore (unless the spirit of God takes over and I forget that other people are in the room) because I know that once I do, I will feel self conscious. I'll be too busy thinking about people watching me and what they think, that it won't even be about God anymore and it won't be sincere. So, for now I just worship God through my life, by going to him in everything that happens, good or bad.

  • this is funny really funny

  • My question is..if atheists' are watching a worship video? Why? But this Is a great video if you want a chuckle

  • bros obvs a fag. funny though

  • @pinkthefloydable

    actually bro Jesus said this him self the most important commandment to to love your neighbor with all your heart. .and to honor God in the same way.. do this you do all the commandments. My question is if you don't believe in God then why does it bother you so much that people chose to believe something you don't? the fact is there was a dude in history named Jesus he went around doing good works and healing the sick(there are 1000s of accounts of this) and he died for love

  • @onthefrontline3 ok you realy need to get to the point cuz i don't know what your saying

  • I'd "like" it 7 times if I could!

  • Or we all can understand that EVERYONE worships IN THEIR OWN WAY................whether or not this is serious. This is stupid.

  • @PinkTheFloydable Just know: the first commandment of all is not to worship idols.

  • @1MaRiSs1

    No, it's not to worship FALSE idols. Which means anything other than YOUR god. And who said the commandments were a reliable source of information? You do worship an 'idol'. The first commandment is just hyprocritical.

  • @fleabag500 god is a spirit not an 'idol'. the blessings u get for following the commandments means its reliable.

  • Haha, The 'I've found my lost hamster' is also a good pose. Seriously folks, This is not a serious instruction video, Us christians need to learn to take the mick of ourselves on occasion. Lighten up and laugh a bit! Is it any wonder the general public think us christians are all boring, moaning, 'fun is a sin' type of weirdo's?

  • hilarious. simply hilarious

  • They are just being sarcastic about people who feel you must worship in a certain way

  • This is hilarious! Brilliant!

  • horrible. simply horrible.

  • I randomly seached up "worship" just to see what the first video might be, and this is it... Kinda sad. But I've def seen insecure worshipers. What's sad is that people actually search up "how to worship"...

  • Thank you supporting the carnality of worship.

  • hilarious!!!!!!

  • This is great lol!!!!!!

  • Satire done well! Those who get offended do so by their own choice.

    God has a sense of humor. Don't believe me? Look at the platypus.

  • @youwerehere that's evolution. 

  • i dance like 1:13 at my church :P

  • haha it's so superficial it's funny :P But people genuinely worry about these things!

  • I love how half the people commenting are offended. Haha it's clearly meant to be funny. It's not making fun of worship either. It's making fun of "religion". The type than bonds some people and causes them to not truly worship but to "play" worship. Great video. I had a good laugh :) haha

  • I understand everyone's concerns. Its all in good fun though. I can tell you, however, that this movie wasn't meant to take a stab at anyone. When I worship, I understand that my praise is real and that my soul cries out. Therefore, when I saw this video, it made me laugh. If it offends someone, then maybe someone is simply convicted because they are afraid that a simple video discredits or somehow invalidates their moments in God's presence. They aren't sure themselves, and it convicts, maybe?

  • I understand that. I'm all for a good laugh...BUT if someone that is new in the Lord seen that then they could take it seriously. Or someone might see it and think that the way they've been worshiping isn't the right way to worship... That's what I was (and am) concerned about....

  • You DON't teach people how to worship!!!! Worship comes from the heart.. NOT an instructional video!!!

  • @sarrie413 Have a laugh mate, it is clearly made in a comedic sense!

  • 50 people didn't get the joke =P

  • lol!!!! 1:52-1:58

  • Oh this is to funny Thank Tou nand God Bless !

  • I don't like this at all.... as someone who is a free expressive worshiper I feel this is making fun of me for my expression of biblical forms of worship. You should remove this video because it doesn't encourage people to be free in worship!!!

  • @praiseman62 ???? How does this encourage people to NOT be "free" in worship????? It's a joke! Seriously, lighten up and live.

  • @praiseman62 Shut up

  • I really hope this was a joke...

    Worship is between You and God. It doesn't matter what you are doing.

  • not saying i agree with this at all, but it was funny :P

  • ANY one that appreciates being worshipped or prayed to is obviously quite the sicko.

  • not funny. Gaylords

  • Hmm...I liked the first try at dancing.

  • does anyone have the link for the original video?

  • @Nandikins this is the original

  • Worship isnt something that has rules. You worship however you feel like, as long as it helps you come in contact with God; no one has the right to judge that.

  • @SirPhillipUnicorn This appears to be satire. What you say is obviously true, but there definitely appears to be a convention with worshipping. While this convention is mainly due to the body's actual physical reaction to worship most of the time, it can still be fun to poke fun at it. :P

  • yeah make a manual.

  • That is not how I worship!

    

  • I love this! It is great. Thanks for making it. Christians need a laugh too. And yes, I have done all those types of dancing during worship, not so much the face tho, gotta get that one down, haha

  • @spencar I do the face :L

  • Pretty frigin sweet

  • People...this is a parody! As a prior youth leader and a worship leader I love the lightheartedness of this video. This video would be used prior to a worship set to prepare the mood. Those who have never done this would not know how hard it is to switch gears and try and prepare students to worship right out of the gate. True, I can see how some could get offended, but the same would be offended by anything. Lighten up a little bit

  • Jesus freaks :)

  • @Hunger4Christ i very much agree!... iv also saw someone righting a comment saying this is a joke!! but to whos expense...i think its terriable that a pastor would encourage this and that youth use this in the church!!! to be honest.i dont beleive for one second god looks down and says ...he aint clapping right or he aint dacing right...thats the problem today people try to decide what god would like and not like what i do no is that u need to be carefull that you dont discourage new beleivers

  • Show this to youth groups of your church ? no chance , to worship the lord is heart felt and god can see your heart , what are you showing your youth in the church by showing them this video , yeah raising your hands to the lord is a good feeling of submiting to him but thats not for everyone if they dont feel comfortable about it , if your doing things like dancing and raising your hands just because joe bloggs next to you does it then you maybe need to ask yourself a few questions

  • 1:57 -2min is awesome

  • LOL i want this played at my youth group on our worship series!

    WORSHIP IS A LIFESTYLE, not just a momentary thing :)

  • our youth group like this vid

  • this is Toooooo funny! omg i love it!

  • Some people on here don't realize this was a joke...

  • @davidjunior2 yeah maybe a joke but not when some use it for their youth groups on how to truely worship the lord

  • oh my goodness. this is amazingly hilarious.  love the time signature bit.

  • I didn't know Justin Bieber was a Christian.

  • @signonymous2 That's not even the same hairstyle...try harder.

  • @signonymous2 I don't know if you were being sarcastic, but here goes. Justin Bieber grew up attending a pentacostal church with his mother. His mother prayed with her church elders before allowing him to go to Atlanta to record demo tapes. His film "Never Say Never" is replete with Bible verses and Christian themes, and he openly acknowledges his faith, having said "I believe that Jesus died on a cross for my sins" and "He's the reason that I'm here." So yes, Justin Bieber is a Christian.

  • @signonymous2 haha... the weird part is Justin Beiber is actually a Christian... I watched the movie, I'm too nice to my cousin...

  • Love it. We're going to show it to our team tonight at rehearsals.! AMEN!

  • "Breaking into a jig during a slow song is likey to make you appear insane." LOL

  • And people the technology of today can helps us tell people who God really is.

  • No actuality this is worship its worship that's going to get us through from day to day now this video may not show it but this is not worship at its full momentum. Ihave seen people jump up and jump pughs. Oh yea and people get saved over 145 people got saved. Last year at my church. Whoooooo that's God.

  • I love this. I am so glad I assist a church where their is freedom to worship God. Through Dancing Raising of the hands through tears and shouts. To God be the Glory!!!!

  • That isn't worshiping.

    We worship the Living God by obeying Him and by serving Him with an eye single to His glory. By making our calling and election sure by seeking out the spirit as a constant companion, which is only given by the laying on of hand by one hold true authority. We worship Him by trusting in Him and His Son, and by searching the scriptures and humbly obeying the quiet promptings of the spirit. This is a vain and spiritually idol nonsense.

  • @LightGnolaum This is worshiping. Every branch of religion has it's own way of worship, centered solely on praising God. Every believer has their own way to praise, so why shouldn't they. Because your religon says differently? It doesn't matter how they do it, its why they do it.

  • Hilarious! These thoughts have gone through my head many a time when I was so confused by what everyone was doing around me that I forgot that it's all about Jesus. Focus on Him :)

  • There are not rules on this except what the bible say about it so this video is not needed and if it was a joke? sorry you at that also failed

  • Worship...  with Truth and Spirit.... :)

    That is it :)

  • @Salvation2Praise , if we are to worship (through song and dance) truly, our thoughts won't be focused on mannerisms, but adoration and connectivity to His Spirit. Though, we also worship the LORD by being mindful of others' salvation and growth in Christ during worship services =D

  • @shamem701 .... I completely agree with you Shamem :) God bless :)

  • @shamem701 .... I completely agree with you Shamem :) God bless :)

  • This is pretty funny ;)

    Tho it should be made clear as to whether it is a spoof which is actually telling you how to worship, or just a general spoof saying you can worship how you want ;)

  • you dont study a worship. if you know who is your King you will worship, you dont even need a music. know who is your King.

  • Anyone else here from Slacktivist? He wrote a wonderful little essay about this video.

    TRiG.

  • for some good worship tunes check out Red Letter Hymnal

  • I thought suburban white people allus clapped on the 1 and 3, and they don't even mention this!

  • See, I was raised Catholic, so the more participatory worship model is utterly foreign to me. Thank you for allowing me to understand.

  • "Now imagine you're passing a kidney stone."

  • Hilarious! And the shaggy-haired kid is CUTE. I'd like to take him home for a little idolatry.

  • @criostoir59 Agreed. Can I have him next?

    And yes, very funny. It's a gentle, affectionate mocking, coming from insiders, which I'm not used to (I'm more used to Marcus-Bridgestocke- or Dara-Ó-Brian-style rants, or Tim-Minchin-style outsider mocking, which is also funny but in a very different way). This video was made by people who were laughing at themselves. And they're laughing at worshippers, not at worship.

    As an ex-JWitness, this style of worship is alien to me too.

    TRiG.

    TRiG.

  • Very funny! My wife and I enjoyed it. I've been a pastor for many many years and my message to the "religious" types who were so offended is this: "Pharisee, says what?" You guys make the rest of the Christians look bad. Now I'll let you get back to judging other people who are not as holy as you. FAIRWOOD. You guys should do a piece on "how to appear to be religious." First, find a lemon and suck on it for several minutes. Now you look holy!

  • @spectreoftime cant believe you said that "pharisee , says what ?" you do know that some youth leaders are using this video to say to their youth if your not doing all this your not truely worshiping the lord , yeah the pharisee loved to judge but they also like to be on show for all to see , i love to worship the lord by clapping and raising my hands to our lord but i also have a heart for god and its not just all show , god can see your heart and when young christians get disheartened -

  • @spectreoftime cant believe you said that "pharisee , says what ?" you do know that some youth leaders are using this video to say to their youth if your not doing all this your not truely worshiping the lord , yeah the pharisee loved to judge but they also like to be on show for all to see , i love to worship the lord by clapping and raising my hands to our lord but i also have a heart for god and its not just all show , when young christians get disheartened due to this vid is that right ???

  • Hilarious! Would God find this offensive? No! Why? Because it shows up OUR insincerity. Nothing in this video mocks God, it should be a challenge to us all

  • so true 

  • Hilarious! It really points out how we can get so tied up in looking normal and acceptable that we forget why we are worshipping! 

  • As a Youth Pastor dealing with kids who have not grown up in a pentecostal church, this is a PERFECT intro video into a sermon on worship.

    You guys did an EXCELLENT job!

  • looks like being overly well fed is a prime qualification... :P

  • lolllll...awesome...it was funny...an half that stuff people do lol...lolll @ 2:20 - 2:30

  • This video is pure win, how totally awesome! You guys rock!

    Now, to see if we can get this to play for our youth service... :D

  • @dustinthewind13069 yes brother

  • hahaha!! this is so awesome :D

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!! OMG.. this is SOOO gold!! LOL

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • i admit, this is really funny. but i think you should worship however you want to worship. if you want to roll on the ground and freak out, go right ahead. i dont think theres a "right or wrong" way to worship. as long as you're worshipping the one true God, you can do it however you want (:

  • Rofl I love it. God bless

  • Geweldig!!! Great!!!

  • this is not worship this is rejoicing, worship is defined as1) to kiss the hand to (towards) one, in token of reverence

    to fall upon the knees and touch the ground with the forehead as an expression of profound reverence

  • HIL-AR-I-OUS! LOL!

  • I love this hahaha so funny

  • This is hilarious

  • how on EARTH did the video get 20 dislikes!!? it's AMAZING!!! funniest thing i've seen :D:D:D

  • @TheGunShowdown

    Because there's too many religious people around :-)

  • You know this was funny, seen similar video's...going to favor it, and put in playlist. Put a smile on my face...love the satire. Thing is there is a bit of truth in this...almost got smacked in the face with a banner in one service. lol Good job guys...riled a few 'religious spirits' I see....oh well. keep it up

  • lol, this is so true!! haha my church is JUST like this!! :D

  • This is hilarious! I love it!! Thanks for posting.... : >

  • God told us to worship Him all through the bible... Wipe that layer of dust off the bible and read it...

  • Ex 3:12 And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will WORSHIP God on this mountain.

    Ex 7:16 Then say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you: Let my people go, so that they may WORSHIP me in the desert. But until now you have not listened.

    Ex 23:25 WORSHIP the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water.

  • LOL! Good job :)

  • The guy breaking into a jig during a slow song bit was funny.

  • Where did God tell us to worship Him? Israel never worshipped God.

    Only pagans worshipped their gods.

    The God of Israel wants a relationship with His children, not pointless worship.

  • @Darth3456

    Check out John 4:23-24. Jesus tells us to worship in spirit and in truth. Honest, genuine, no rituals and elaborate ceremonies. You're right, relationship is the goal. But worship can help us get there.

  • @Darth3456 You high, bro?

  • @EarendilTheBright He isn't high in scriptural knowledge, that's for sure.

  • @Darth3456 "Where did God tell us to worship Him? Israel never worshipped God."

    Tell me...do you actually read the Bible pages, or do you just smoke them?

  • @fmu93 Stop stealing my lines.

  • @fmu93 Why don't you hit a webcam for the Israeli Wailing Wall or some of their festivals dancing. You need to do your homework before you speak about something you know nothing about.

  • lol! this is awesome, praise God :)

  • you're all BANNED

  • wow some people a.k.a. the 20 people who clicked the dislike button dont understand that they are joking. behind it all theyre saying that true worship comes from the heart.

  • This is hillarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • yeah, people need to learn to recognize and appreciate a good satire. Obviously this was done in jest of those who do not truly worship God from their heart. And even those that do, there are a few things in there that I would do, not to be "more spiritual" but I dont want to kill the guy next to me, lol. overall, very funny very true, and very sad that people do do this for the sake of appearance

  • I think this video is making fun of the "rules" that people make up for worshipping, it's what so many people are thinking during worship and that's why its funny

  • this is AWESOME. :'D

  • "Or how to appear to"? ... Now I'm sorry, I enjoy going to services and worship my Lord...But you r supose to let the Holy Spirit move you, not do what others do, just because...Dont you know that God looks for people who worship Him in Spirit and in Truth...??? ... Living right is a way to worship, not just how much I move my body during a service...Ok.? Ok.! God bless you all

  • When I was an unconverted young man in a Pentecostal church, I did actually raise my hands to appear more "spiritual". However, in my experience at least, most of the others there were genuinely attempting to worship God.

  • They forgot the fire, you have to say that you feel the fire of God. After you said so you break down and the others will take you out of the event room. Then you are free and you can go and hang around in a bar or something.

  • I will give it to you that this is funny, but worship shouldn't be just about looking good in front of everyone else. This video just shows you how to look good in front of your peers. Worship is really about connecting with God.

  • When i first saw the title i was like "noooo this couldnt get any more degrading" then i was like lol

  • is it bad to say that THIS WAS HILARIOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. ?! haha.

    i love you God.

    _pOllY<,3

  • god is all emotions at once well with the exception of a few and he wants us to be alive and whole in him when I worship I jump I shout I cry I laugh I dance I do all those things worship doesn't have to be the same from person to person that's what's so great about it and this video rocks as long as it centered on god and biblical it's oh and btw in one of the verses in one of the samuels david dances to worship the lord so it is biblical to do this kinda stuff

  • This is hilarious!!! To the people who were offended, I understand how you feel. However, i think this video points out how we can be so caught up in how we worship instead of WHO we worship.

    Dance, sing, close your eyes, raise your hands- they're fine methods of worship as long as they are centered on God.

  • @1LG1116 - ahh; nice to see someone speaking the truth!! This is really funny stuff, and raises an important point the Church ought to pick up. As much as we judge other people's sincerity during worship, that sure isn't *our* place.

    Only God knows the heart and he knows whether our clapping, dancing, crying, singing, falling, whistling, waving flags, raising hands, shaking, praying or playing is sincere worship. <3

  • @1LG1116 I so agree! So many times we worry so much about the people around us. I know people who are tone deaf who sing their lungs out. In the Korean church the older generation claps on beats 1 and 3... It doesn't make it wrong. It's not about how. It's about the why.

  • LOL this is so killer!!! Praise God!

    A Giggle: How to Worship

    Ok, so some of you may be offended by this tongue in cheek video -- but I have to tell you that I laughed out loud a few times! I remember what it was like to be brand new at my church and feeling like I was out of the loop.

    Of course there’s no right or wrong way to enter into praise and worship. Clap if you want to or don’t, I’m not going to judge you

  • Worshipping God is a serious matter..and some of this stuff here isnt funny at all!

  • @Nunguni I laughed, but I felt ashamed that I did. This borders on blaspemy and mocks worship. Some people aren't afraid to go where angels fear to tread. God help us.

  • U gotta love it. . .

    

  • Don't worry about the "religious" folks, guys. God's not religious, either. You're right, He invented humor and loves to see us live with His joy. Fun video, hope to see more. :)

  • i love this :D

  • God is not laughing at this video, I am faaaar from a legastic Christian okay but this video demonstrates a church/people who do not have a proper fear of the Lord

    Without such a vision of God’s holiness, true worship is not possible. Worship is not giddy. It does not rush into God’s presence unprepared and insensitive to His majesty. It is not shallow, superficial, or flippant. Worship is life lived in the presence of an infinitely righteous

  • @MegAshleyPieroway I agree.
