Jesus People - Snatched Up (the music video)

[revray66]

This video is causing my bowels to churn in discomfort.

Aaaargh...

[bluesoljacrip211]

jesus bless ur soul people he is coming bacc father forgive them for the dont know better

[WolfIllyrian]

This series is the funniest stuff I've ever seen regarding Christians. Keeping in mind how gloomy they usually are, parodizing them this way has been a major achievement of this crew. It portrays Christians with all their hypochrisies, shallowness, bigotry, cabalism, stereotypes and narrowmindness. Zach is a Christian star, and everything is less than him is not a real Christian. His stupidity reminds us millions of lives caught in such a dry language, sterile rituals, and obscure conducts.

[michellesings]

my only response is...wwjd to respond to this???

jk



[matboy891]

@43tikitorch why would a christian says fucked up? Isn't that suppose to be bad?

[matboy891]

more...more...MORE!!!!!!1

[FollowHim4Eternity]

I just want everyone to know that I am a Christian, but a lot of us aren't as closed minded as people tend to think we are. I'm a Christian, but I have Jewish friends, Hindu, Muslim, agnostic, atheist, and even a Wiccan friend. I will admit, some of us have a bit of trouble laughing at ourselves, but a good portion of us are really open minded and totally cool with jokes, just as long as they don't go too far. Also, I'm totally accepting of the gay lifestyle, and I'm a supporter of gay rights.

[coolspindrift]

This is so funny because IT'S SOO TRUE....Years ago I was in a Christian "rock band"..........what a bunch of brain-washed, lame humored, witch hunting, homophobic pack of nonsense it all was!!!!! This is fantastic!

[ac360lover17]

this is way better than any christian song i've ever heard..

[Katalyzt]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­haha!!! This stuff is hilarious! ★★★★★

[DatSkinnyWhiteGirl]

i wish all the christians would be snatched up already

[Grykus7]

Oh god this is bad. I want to cut my ears off now.

[steeflo7]

Ahahahhahahaha!!! awesome! i love it, i went to a christian school til the 8th grade, and some of the characters soooo remind me of people i knew then and have met now, i sure hope ALOT of christians watch this and recognize how terribly hypocritical they can be.

[Mxsharpie1]

i miss jesus people. they really reminded me of what the world views christians as and all the stereotypes we need to prove wrong. and they were funny.

[ikanaide]

@Mxsharpie1

Why prove them wrong? If you want to change how the world views Christianity, you need to change Christianity, not everybody else ...

[Mxsharpie1]

I'm not saying we should change everyone else, that's not right. I'm saying it's stuff that I can work on to improve myself. To show everyone else how Christianity works. I apologize if I offended you in some way. Also, to all the other commenters, thanks for sharing on what you guys think about Christians. I'm sorry us Christians can be so annoying to you. Stuffing the religion down your throats is not the purpose, but even Christians can be misled. We aren't perfect.

[y0nd3r]

You mean all that stuff about how being gay is not normal and an abomination to your god when science so obviously says you are wrong? You mean trying to get your religion into gradeschool so that it can be taught to defensless children of parents who don't believe the things you do? Ya, we're sorry about that too. Sorry to come off so mean spirited, we have just Had It.

[QuartuvLarry]

Science? Has gayness been genetically proven, finally?

I mean, I have a fetish for giantess vore (being eaten by a giant woman) but I never made a parade for it, nor attempted to use it as a shield for inadequacies within the workplace. Can my sexual proclivities be proven through genetic science? PLEASE?

[y0nd3r]

First mistake. Equating gay with fetish. Nothing you wrote after that strawman matters. Thanks for your insight, I'm sorry I find it boring.

Do some research. Science has proven that it is not a choice, they have brain scans showing the difference.

People put on parades for all kinds of stuff. You.have.a.problem.with.one.pa­rade.

But you dont have a problem with xmas, right?

Fact is, you can't stand that we are not as ashamed as you want us to be.

Go wank or something.

[QuartuvLarry]

Are you trying to scandalize me or outrage me or something? I don't have to WANT you to be ashamed, I can just sit back and laugh at the silly bird-men wearing their silly bouffant feathers as if it was supposed to mean something more profound than parade-strutting.

[y0nd3r]

I am trying to get you to stfu, firstly, and secondly to do some research before you open your public mouth and flash that public education of yours around, you nazi, skin-head, racist, etc. (oh yes, straight from your profile)

[QuartuvLarry]

You can't read context, can you yawnder? Can you? Noooo, no you can't. What you said is not straight from my profile because you've very OBVIOUSLY twisted the wording! Any SMART person you don't want checking out for themselves could see THAT! Hahaha!!

And no! You will NEVER get me to shut up, because you don't DESERVE to shut me up, mmkay?

[Amuseme08]

I thought this was right on the spot too, especially episode 3;-D

I'm a churchorganist and a pianist, and I've always been annoyed about other christians claiming that you have to love christian rock , because that's the real "christian music"... (They could have a longer debate with people working with traditional churchmusic on that one...;-)

[slokela]

I'm a human being and I've always been annoyed with people who have the unmitigated gall to tell others what God's "program" is. It's everyone's human right to believe what ever they want to believe, but telling others what to believe is insulting to human intelligence. This video is insulting to Christians. But hey, they instigated this pissing contest by insulting others with their evangelizing, so they deserve to be slapped back. I just wish it never started because it may never end.

[leahcalypso]

A men

[monpetitchou618]

I think this is really funny. and being a pastor's daughter, i know that the stuff they are making fun of are real issues that Christians have, and they need to get in check... most of which having to do with an inability to relate to anyone who is not in a church setting all the time, and also an inability for Christians to laugh at themselves. at least these people are addressing these issues in a funny way.

[BishopBigans]

I know people just like this and that is why I am laughing. I can laugh at "myself." Oh, I am a pastors son, and a minister myself.

[HGbunny]

I need more Jesus People! Let's see them at a CD signing at the local Dove's Love Christian Book Store, or maybe on a concert tour. This could have gone so much farther. I subscribed to ICN because of Jesus People, but nothing else I've seen even comes close. I'd remove my subscription, but what if they made more Jesus People? How would I know???

[Cosmoses88888888]

cross my fart!

[Charky06]

this is way gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mirtika]

I wonder if they'd have the balls to make fun of Muslim doctrine and figures. Hmm. I dare em.

[marspyramid]

This is like Spinalk Tap meets the 700 Club

[HGbunny]

marspyramid , that's a GREAT analogy.

[IanBlaque]

The 'Rapture' was the product of a delusional Scottish pesant girl. Two gentlemen caught wind of her halucinations and jury rigged bible verses to fit this idea(much in the manner of a CHarles Manson or Jim Jones). BTW, one of them was an adulterer and convicted embezzler.

[xfenwrathx]

reference please

[bdouvill]

Poof!

[thespia]

There should be a free download of this with the "Left Behind" series!

[Tings77]

heya =)

im naked ;D hu

[CR84]

Don't we all dream of being bathed in heavenly oils while th heathens suffer boils ?

:D

See ya in ...the air... with the Lord.

lol

[IvanisovitschGrozny]

No...

[CR84]

Jebus loves you anyway. :D

[IvanisovitschGrozny]

Who's this "Jebus"? I mean a boy or a girl?

Sorry, but that matters to me!

[CR84]

It's a fictional typographical error in Bible.

Like the whole thing wasn't one. ;D

[beretcat]

More episodes please!

[TheKinkyShrink]

I second this! I NEED MORE JESUS PEOPLE!!!!!!!

[ynnam92]

It's seems like the people in this video are making a joke of God. They make it seem like christians don't care about non-christians, like just because we're saved we can relax and do nothing about those who don't have a relationship with Jesus. Example: "While the heathens suffer boils, I'll be bathed in heavenly oils." Where's the sympathy?

[saintee1000]

They are making a joke of Christian dogma. You are taking it for granted that there is a God and that he had a son that was himself who he chose to sacrifice to save mankind despite the fact he didnt sacrifice anything because he is omnipotent.

[ynnam92]

About a week ago, you replyed to me. I'm sorry for not getting back to you quicker if that's what you wanted. I found it hard to understand what you were trying to say. Please explain in a more clear way. I'd love to hear your viewpoint.

[moopsycho]

more.. make more. too funny.

[WildRepublican]

I love Jesus. I'm sure yes I'm sure.

I don't know why people thought this was "hilarious" ... maybe the rapture seems "silly" to them ...

but it's not silly it's real

Jesus loves us all, forever, no matter the time, remember that

Love,

WR

[gryphonkeen]

its because its a satire... look up their videos... its part of a series...

[rabbit116]

Hilarious!

[codyofga]

horrible. just horrible. have mercy

[pleaseman1]

That was f%$&^ng hilarious..excelent job!

[didileo]

more episodes please!!!!

[tiggerrrr01]

wow thought it was going to be a slam on Christianity ..I loved it ..very cute .

[Talk2ben]

Are they making any more Jesus Peoples?

[hoorayformeallright]

Uh, wow.... that was a little hard to sit through. Oh well. Friggin hilarious.

[shannonkish]

The fact that the video looks cheaply made only furthers the humor with this because if you have actually ever seen any Christian Music Videos, they look as cheaply made as this one.

[CaliKEM]

I was expecting Kirk Cameron to walk across the screen at any moment. From a person who was RAISED in a "snatched up someday" environment... you made me throw up just a little in my mouth... in a good way. In other words....good job. :-)

[WavyGravy22]

LOL XD I have to admit that was pretty damn hilarious what you just said there "CaliKEM". Oh and sorry you were raised in that sort of a household, honestly I am.

[CaliKEM]

HUG?

[jdawey]

i don't undrstand what this vid is trying to say?

[WildRepublican]

Hi Jdawey,

Blessings. This video is saying that Jesus will come

again, in the clouds, returning with open arms to gather

all the people who have accepted Him into their life and

heart as Lord and Savior. The time of His return is very

near, as many many biblical prophecies have been fulfilled, and we see the rest of them being fulfilled in our current time ... be prepared, be aware, love the Lord with all of your heart mind and soul. bless you. WR

[jdawey]

oh i remember this video, but it seems like they made it just for fun,

[jsteudl]

Don't they know "one should be married BEFORE GOD" before being snatched up.

[kittykittypaw]

I believe this was soooo awesome you guys did a awesome job I loved it.

[HGbunny]

Need. More. Jesus. People. Episodes.

[lilyannlucas]

Are you sure? Gonna take a chance?

I'm sure!

[OrangeDawn7]

that was strange.

[Partisan5417]

Im rapsure.

[TechnoFreak202]

Gay and stupid

[YorMomIsHot]

more episodes?!?!?!?!?!

[Genius523]

Funny

[Genius523]

they need to make more

[kuanthepho]

Wow! I can not believe I just sat hear and watched that! Maybe they could find some talent to at least put in the background (but then it wouldn't be as funny) Can't wait to see more!

[pshakes]

WTH.

[mandini76]

Yay Jesus People! I love this video. I can't see why Christians would be offended by this song or lyrics... considering they actually believe this stuff.

[kuanthepho]

Not all Christians believe in the whole "rapture" thing. There is actually only one account (Biblically) that it can be pulled from. Though I don't know what will happen, not all belive in this stuff.

[speakman7]

so if there is one account it can be pulled from bibically it must be true right?

[Genius523]

Read from and pulled from are two different things.

[johnr25ks]

BLASPHEMY

[DarkJediDan]

3:07 the fat guy free styling lol

[zincyams100]

lol that was hilarious!

[harrydotcom28]

I want more episodes!!!!!

[R0SECR0IX]

What I meant to say, of course, was that this video is amazing. Will there be more?

[andytoz]

brilliant

[YorMomIsHot]

hahahaha i was in a test and was singing

"i'm enraptured with the rapture cuz its my soul he's gonna capture"

[Dums1985]

can't wait for episode 7

[soaringturkeys]

amazing!!!

[rmains]

as someone who was in that industry for a while...i just gotta say this series is the "spinal tap" of CCM. it is so close to the truth it's scary.

great job! if you're ever in nashville during the GMA awards, i hope you have your cameras rolling.

[kehoobler]

It's sort of catchy. And terrifying.

[kehoobler]

It's sort of catchy. And terrifying.

[DeeperThanMost]

As terrible as that video was...it has some of the best theology I have ever heard in CCM...not such a good thing for CCM. These guys are HI-LARIOUS!!! though.

[megatron103]

more webepisodes please

[kingrichard089]

I can't stop watching this video. I think it's my new favorite song!!

[adkwalker]

Come on!!! You guys are holding out on me... Let's have a new episode, already!!!

[Tomlinite]

Haha the guy with the firey shirt made me laugh

[enigma88]

i am addicted to this song!

[japesteeni]

That's great...makes me feel so awkward. I love it.

[ElfFiend]

"Contemporary Christian Songs and their accompanying videos are soooo formulaic and so predictable, that they nearly beg to be parodied."

I'm pretty sure that every kind of music today is predictable and formulaic...you can't blame the christians for being like everyone else. When was the last time Beyonce, J-Lo, or even Green Day did something really original?

That said, this video is freaking hilarious.

[abevil30]

Great Work ;)

Bert

[checkunderyourbed]

if ur making fun of the lyrics: THIS IS A PARODY!!! the lyrics are supposed to be poorly written for humorous effect. Excellent job ICN! i just cant get over the church being boring part! hilarious

[squishie427]

For some reason I can't get over "rap-SURE"... it's extremely funny... I love puns waaaaay too much.

But yeah, good job, AMAZING graphics.

[AnotherGoddess]

We WHICH are alive.

????????

What kinda English is that????

That being said, let me know when the CD comes out. I sure don't want the Devil to catch up with me and make me Gay.

Ha hahah

another 5 star performance

[melvasaiel]

I think I saw whats-his-name (the one that plays the angel) in a TV commercial...

[roxxytans]

Hey fellow Jesus People! I have created a Facebook Group for fans of the show. Search for Jesus People Appreciation Society!

[woofer1992]

lol! what more can ya say

[TheYolk]

this is too funny to handle :D

[Loneninjaturtle]

Oh my god so awesome I love this series!

[mutcluck]

Loving those highend FX. Sick Green screen work.

[equisnextplease]

I didn't even notice the "N is for knowing" until I read the comment below... Thanks for pointing it out! Veru funny video guys... good job.

[missiejoy]

As a Christian, I find this video hilarious! No one should take themselves too seriously. Christian can be pretty ridiculous sometimes! Please keep these videos coming.

[bkirk21218]

I am moist!!!!

[moaningmyrtle24]

hahaha, great.

[kimboluvr]

LOL!

[isaacwm72]

Just painfully hilarious. I don't know whether to laugh, or hold back in fear of being struck by lightning for thinking this is funny.

[JonIsRandom]

"N" is for the knowing LOLOLOLOL

[ollowert]

I think the white dude is in denial. Bet he comes out at a later time ya think?? great stuff.

[inmypajamasxD]

Bwahaha NICE

[ReturnedSecrets]

LOL! That was aces! Painfully funny...I wasn't sure I could hang in there, but I did!

[stefandruzdzel]

lol rapSURE

fucking awesome and really ballsy i didnt think you guys would actualy make a music video

[AugustHovel]

Whoa! This is so much better than Rebecca St. James's "God" video. You guys should work with dc Talk! Are they your influence!? Praise Jesus! Glory! Amen! After that I feel like someone dumped a bucket of the Holy Spirit on me! I spoke in tongues! Does shun-day-day-bo-bo mean anything? Glory?

j/k. Loved the video, though. You should add it to the Jesus people playlist, though. I didn't know it was out yet until I looked at the icn channel.

[Santaanacanyon]

You got that right! Contemporary Christian Songs and their accompanying videos are soooo formulaic and so predictable, that they nearly beg to be parodied. I'm betting you could put this on TBN and no one would know it was meant as a joke.

[hollywoodartchick]

I was thinking the same thing - I doubt that some of them would get the parody!

[jaimebakulic86]

this was funny! the subtitles helped a lot. My English is not that good.

5 stars!

[HGbunny]

So we gotta try and obey...before the Devil makes us gay! I'm so lovin' this stuff.

[earthmother]

perfect casting.....oy

[FinalVideo3]

OMG best musci video ever! lol

[megatron103]

i thought they were a christian dance group

[pkalvyn]

FANTASTIC

[WhatsUptonProduction]

hahaha, "I'm rap-sure" LMAO!

[Namari12]

I'm not sure how I feel about this and how parody-like it actually is, but like a previous poster, i haven't watched many "christian music videos" so I have no idea how accurate a parody it is.

[maxxewell]

Great stuff.

[Riffel949]

lol I'm RAP-Sure this is the funny shit I've seen all week, thanks for making m night guys, can't wait for the next episode.

[skeptic723]

so we got to try and obey

before the devil makes us gay!!! ROFL

[wiriness]

Try doing this about islam and see how many death threats you get

[youngxmarvolous]

why u mad?

[wiriness]

no, i'm not mad, i'm an atheist. i'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.

[mustafa128h]

err chil out mate, there was no need for that

[mustafa128h]

err chil out 'WIRINESS', there was no need for that

[mattpwsmith]

I don't think Wireiness is having a go at the video as such. What I think is that this shows it is Socially ok to poke fun at Christians. Sure you'll have people unhappy. But you won't have protest or violence over something like this. Try doing the same about Islam and you only need to look at what happen to the Danish Embassy Bombing in Pakistan. That was a result of Danish papers publishing a Cartoon that joked/poke fun at Muhammad, which the people found insulting.

[mustafa128h]

yo mattpswith, thanks for your response, but have a look at this video, its christian people doin christian video, they are not insulting christianity either, the cartoons made in denmark where made by a non muslim, on the muslims nations leader, Mohammed, what they done was insulting, there was no need to start doing comparisons

[R0SECR0IX]

These people clearly aren't Christians. Don't confuse ethnicity (or even nationality) with religion - for all you know they're all Buddhists. The original point was valid, if uncomfortable - there is a fear of poking fun at Islam that isn't felt with other religions - and this isn't a fear born of respect, but of fear itself, which, frankly, reflect badly on every one of us. As for the Danish cartoons, their only crime was that they weren't funny.

[speakman7]

lol what?

[WeedMIC]

I really really want that black shirt with the flames

[peppermeg]

...wow...

[possiblyJB]

ha ha ha this was awesome

[whiteh12]

I didn't like this one much. Seemed a bit too lame to be funny. But I haven't seen many "real" christian music videos, so if those videos tend to be as awkward as this one, maybe this is actually a great immitation...

[fatblueman]

Awesome. I wait longingly each week for the next episode...

[sedna273]

Heh...I love how the pastor's wearing a flame shirt, nice little detail there.

[emanolie]

LMAO

[cassjamminx]

cross my heart sucks so bad its so funny i love it

[bigpinkTT]

hahahaha...love it!!!

[rnistuk]

Gloria is totally hot!

She makes a hot whore!

[chessmastor]

VERY FUNNY!

[tjf311]

LOL YES!
