Larry/Deity 06: Jonah and the whale

[2eelShmeal]

Hahahaha that's fucked up!....

[kaderoder]

I wish whales would eat japanese people.

[TheTjocksteffe]

@kaderoder Why?

[sulljoh1]

Ha! Wonderful! Amazing! I fear your humor will be lost on the majority of Americans (The most Christian country on earth, btw) who think Joan of ark was Noah's husband, and Moses was an apostle of Jesus.

[Kingkalty]

How can any single person really believe that they know and certainly so, anything beyond their personal experience? Religious fanatics stun me. Google Doe’s Account.

[Paxmax]

sad story.. poor Jonah!

[sageify]

Lmao That explains it i remember reading the jonah story and it ended with him falling asleep under some tree or plant... hahaha he was in a coma from fasting lol

[AndrewTJ31]

Not "I'm so hungry I could eat a whale"?

[misterdeity]

BTW, we are about to shoot a pilot of mine for a half-hour, one-camera TV show called, "Estranged." It's about a marriage and family councilor who comes home one day to find that his wife has left him just as his book ("Why divorce is not the answer") is about to hit the shelves. We're looking for a location to shoot the office scenes. If anyone has a Doctor's office-looking place we can use in LA, please contact me via my mrdeity email or the YouTube email. It would be one or two days. Thanks.

[RedNifre]

I hope that you won't smite me, but I don't like the Larry/Deity format at all. :(

It looks like "Hey, I got a funny idea for mrdeity, but instead of working it into an episode lets just talk it through".

Don't get me wrong, it's well written and funny and I know that producing a "real" episode is much more work, but I don't think that L/D measures up to mrdeity or words.

And since Larry is in China, I assumed you stockpiled L/D? How many episodes are there?

[misterdeity]

These bits were originally written for the Smile-A-Day. They weren't supposed to have the depth of a Mr. Deity episode. It's not laziness or anything. They're just quick little bits to make you smile. People wanted more Deity, more frequently and this was an attempt to fill that need. Apparently, it's not working for you. So, now you've ruined it for everyone else. Series canceled. I hope you're happy. Consider thou thineself smited -- and everyone else with you. That's how the Deity rolls!

[gagnashdiak]

Argh. Jesus saves, everyone else takes full damage - again.

[mjstillwater57]

Now come on, Sybil--er--Mr. Deity. Smiting is soooo Old Testament. No need to crucify the guy (wink-wink, nudge-nudge). Certainly you're not THAT petty. You keep up all this "and everyone else with you", I'm going to start looking for some really old guy building a boat and gathering animals. Peace, love and Larry/Deity for the masses!

[RedNifre]

"People wanted more Deity, more frequently and this was an attempt to fill that need."

Alright, I didn't know that (I prefer less Deity less frequently, but in the full episodes format).

If the majority of viewers like the L/D format please continue it and ignore my criticism as it is obviously not representative of what your average viewer likes.

P.S.: It's still better than the average TV show. :)

[mjstillwater57]

Call it "bonus material", Red.

[danastonn]

The "you learned the hard way", Lion and sheep episode is as poignant as it is funny.

[confession]: I come from a hard core Calvinist family in which religion was totally absent. Lol. Atheist Calvinists: an American specialty.

So, I was left having to do some fishing around to understand who 'Larry' is.

Ah!, he's the punctured Spirit. I get it ...

[SentinelConvergence]

Atheist Calvinists??? No way dude! Guess you guys weren't predestined by the almighty! =P

[adlucem5]

You should have seen the look on his face...haha...priceless.

[rayg350]

OMG so true there IS no such thing as great fish hahahah, love you guys

[DudeFromHaverhill]

(To Mr. Dalton) If you don't mind me saying, the cluelessness of Mr. Deity compared to your own obvious intelligence kind of throws me off every time I read your comments or hear you speak out of character.

[misterdeity]

I'd say that's just good acting. But I fear Amy, Jimbo, and Sean would say it's just great casting

[DudeFromHaverhill]

How DID you find this cast? I thought Amy was your wife or is that a secret I just leaked?

[misterdeity]

Yes, Amy is my wife. But she wasn't when we started this. It's a really great love story that may some day find its way to Lifetime. We've been married since January '09. Jimbo is my best friend. We met at a film festival (where I won the Grand Jury Award -- woohoo!) in 2003. He and I do video production together now. And Sean was in my first movie (the one that won the Grand Jury award) which I shot in 2002. He has been in everything I've done. I LOVE him!!!!

[DudeFromHaverhill]

That is quite the story. A lifetime special on Brian Keith Dalton would do well with your cult following and make Mr. Deity, Larry/Deity, ect. more popular.

[RayCathode1]

fish?...

..."casting"?

tehehe

[jchipol]

5 stars!!!

[nlytend1]

ha..."i don't think he ever came out of that coma."

[niginit]

If you don't stop someday, I will die of laughter.

[shubidubar]

lmfao

[fooby]

s there a link to details about this talk in NY? Is in in NY City? I don't see anything on the CFI NYC web page.

[misterdeity]

No. It's in Amherst on the 29th at 7:00 PM. I'll be doing an hour of questions as Mr. Deity and then giving a 45 minute speech titled, "It cannot be reasoned with." They are going to post the video of the speech on their site. I'll give everyone the link when I get it (somehow -- probably on our site). I'm headed to NYC for three days afterward. I wish someone could organize a Deity hook-up. Too late probably now.

[guitarmaestro078]

These guys are the shit, I wish they had more options for donations though, I really want to help but I am a poor college student that cannot commit to a fixed monthly amount...

Keep it up guys! You make me giggle like a girl.

[misterdeity]

You can donate $5 or whatever anytime you please. Check out our donate page.

[IdleGod]

ROFL. That was awesome. Just, awesome.

[Natura1Wyrm]

Great punchline. :)

Curious though, what's the centre of inquiry?

[phodgson1980]

Just beautiful. "Boy, was he hungry!"

Keep up the good work

[VitalApparatuz]

thanks guys!

[janeyanna]

*cracks up*

Mr. Deity, your performance is like a cake made out of 100% icing.

[Arominit]

Awesome vid!

[marniespeaks]

love the version of the music- who composes these?

[misterdeity]

That would be me. The fifties elevator version of the Mr. Deity theme was arranged for the PSA on finding money at the end of Mr. Deity and the scripts.

[marniespeaks]

has a little of that Percy Faith with a touch of Henry Mancini feel, reminds a little of Ernie Kovacs - well done

[misterdeity]

I love some of that really, really kitsch stuff that Mancini did. He might be my favorite movie composer. I love Billy May's arrangements too (no relation to the infomercial guy).

[marniespeaks]

when it comes to movies I'm a real Elmer Bernstein fan, but how can ya not wiggle in your seat when a Mancini tune pops up?

course I kinda pegged you as a middle of the road Percy Faith at the pearly gates type of guy watch?v=mERbQIvgJXs

maybe with a little bossa nova mixed in watch?v=05DL3dyudXI

no offense or anything

[leberpr]

That punchline is priceless. Well done, sir.

[Katalyzt]

Hahahahahaha! ★★★★★

[zemborato]

That joke was priceless.

[554466551]

Finally the inquisition turns its all-seeing-eye inward upon itself!

Loved the punchline, BTW.

[debbieomi]

I love these little short takes. :-D

[ShikaNinja]

of course he never came out of the coma, Jesus wasn't there to remove the starvation demons... Gah! what are you retarded?

[Caturdayz]

Three days of fasting, lol

[v2keener]

CFI? Aren't they all just a bunch 'o blasphemers? (Seriously, though, excellent show. Love the "coma" at the end.)

[ARCatholic]

Yep, entertaining as usual.  Good stuff.

[CousinoMacul]

Jonah obviously could've learned a thing or two from your typical stoner: get the grub FIRST!!! Damn! I'm beginning to think that most prophets have it coming.

[DemonMasterAnsem]

I don't think he ever came out of that coma.

[Cyrathil]

I'm surprised that Mr. Deity is doing something with CFI. Is there any place to get more information specifically on Mr. Deities talk?

[V1ktorix]

go to CFI website and look at their calendar for this week. can't post links here.

[Ravelmoore]

funny

[jeffhellraiser2]

First!

Great ep, btw
