Big Train - Jesus and Satan The Office Prankster Sketch

[Catalyst2]

This must be what The Office was based on.

[spacechief2000]

@Catalyst2 Also, look at the TV series "people like us", or "the pool" part of The Day Today for some more suspiciously similar antecedents.

[Phalanx3800]

Jesus is American.

That's how we know this is fake.

[alhez]

I think the Israel poster in the office and behind 'Jesus' in the interview scene when he's talking to the off-camera Graham Linehan is a great touch.

[jafka633]

You've always got an answer don't you? No lol

[hiawathabanias]

NO F***ING WAY that that little fag won. he's gay

[wonderdogger]

Dark UK sketch comedy with a hint of mint! This is our first video and we'd like to know what you think. Please comment, rate, subscribe!

[giodude101]

awesome video, british comedy is so funny.

[Duodenumfilms]

You can tell it's a fake Satan, becasue his horns are at funny angles. Amateur mistake really.

[Deadboy360]

@Duodenumfilms if you look at animal horns ((especially goat horns)) their horns aren't always exactly symmetrical :\

[aaronwolvesknowsit]

she was heading for a mini breakdown anyway

[WHO8ALLTHEJAFFAS]

With Jesus and Satan both being in this sketch it obviously had to involve Graham Lineham as he is God

[owendearlove]

The actors in big train are supurb very underatted series. British comedy. Best in the world quoting bottom

[villarule]

Israel poster behind, lolz

[pennydesouza]

Kevin Eldon is such a bloody good actor- he's so versatile...

[jamesjonesrocket]

mark heap is so under rated, he should be on the tv more

[TheEvilOyo]

gold

[Vehementi]

'Sall about Black Books.

Bill Bailey and Dylan Moran.

'Nuff said.

[johnball235]

ye black books is good..check out hardy bucks man ..not related to black books in anyway but its still very funny..think been irish helps to though..ha..btw its only on youtube

[stringera7x]

sory johnball235, meant to give thumbs up, hardy bucks is savage!!! "like siamese beasts!"

black books is king tho

[edaines]

lol israel

[vastariner]

Love the poster in the background...attention to detail.

[RTotaleXVII]

Am I mistaken, or is that the master Graham Lineham conducting the interview with Jesus?

Top stuff either way.

[andysott]

funny stuff....never seen this series, looks good..I am also an "american", not an arrogant yank though.....we did have some good comedies like, "Mr Show" and "Get a Life".

[talatsmum]

lmfao :D brilliant

[SparklersElite08]

omg .... the americans are soooo cocky ..... they need humour in them :)

[guitarist6787]

shut up hes suposed to be like thar hes conducting the interview i have familly there they actually verry funny people

[SparklersElite08]

so at least sum ppl agree wiv me :)

[joechaos13]

Americans do have humor in them; it's just you've run into a miserable one that fells better about himself via yeeling at random strangers on the internet. and the English aren't so modest. I'm sure there are some brits out there that think their so much better than otheres, including the americans

[Metallicman1985]

This kind of comedy is so sureal, i love it so british. you yanks could never come up with anything this funny!!, to much thinking for you lot. thats why John cleese is the GOD of comedy hes brilliant.. oh and thanks for Fucking up Kath and kim for us!!, ITS NOT FUCKING DAYS OF OUR LIVES!!!!. Yank twats.

[dragonballxp]

i love it how some ignorent yanks think British comedy comes only from what they have seen in US Media lol. That itself is a comedy in my book.

[gtjetpilot]

I love the big train series! Great skit (^^,)

[lopatamd]

not funny at all

[YOUD0NTKN0WME]

oh go read a bible

[yohendrix]

Read Two Bibles..

[lopatamd]

grow up

[yohendrix]

ohhhh so your taking offence to my comment! hehe..

[eradeziel]

"i've spoken to her since, and she was heading for a bit of a mini-breakdown anyway..."

Great sketch!

[hoss1962]

turn up the dial on ur irony-detection meter... I think the "minus 28 years old" should have given you a tad of a clue....

[hoss1962]

"You've always got an answer, haven't you?" "No..." ;>

[guitarrahero]

ZOMFG lol that is like uber funny

[scaryflakybiscuits]

Well that just shows what a genius Ricky truly is, only 14 years old and he came up with material like the funny German walk which he later referenced very cleverly in The Office. He was negative 28 years old when he wrote and played every part in the classic Marx brothers satire Duck Soup. If that doesn't make him a genius and not a fat little turd that should have been flushed years ago I don't know what does.

[JohnPaulSaylor]

British Jesus, YES rofl

[SparklersElite08]

i absoutley love simon pegg

[richiepimp15]

rickey gervais didn't have anything to do with Big Train. It was written by Arthur Mathews and Graham Linehan

I have no idea where people got the idea that he wrote it...

[dtv67]

Absolute genius!

[rossm21uk]

ha ha you big twat! lololol

[IceTruckKiIIer]

"I'll write him a reference: obviously it's not going to be a glowing report..." :D

[davewatcher]

I'm reminded of 'The Office' which this predates.

[IceTruckKiIIer]

there's loads of sketches that I'm sure inspired The Office. Shame that Big Train didn't do as well, Simon Pegg over Gervais any day!

[Mystergeneral]

Ricky gervais was one of the writers for big train. This was probably one of his.

[ukulazy]

ah, didn't know that. gervais has been on spaced with simon pegg too.

[richiepimp15]

rickey gervais didn't have anything to do with Big Train. It was written by Arthur Mathews and Graham Linehan

I have no idea where people got the idea that he wrote it...

[scaryflakybiscuits]

Ricky Gervais invented comedy. He wrote faulty towers, was every member of Monty Python, taught Peter Cook how to be funny, was both Galton and Simpson and was The Marx Brothers. He also wrote the Bible and invented reality. Credit where credit is due, I hate when people say he's an overrated fat little turd, it's just so unfair.

[Laelthas]

You might want to replace your sarcasm detector. Have a feeling it's out of warrenty.

[GeneralTitis]

I think he just needs to read the manual of that detector

[RedcoatMic24]

... Good job calling him out there. I mean when he said that Ricky Gervais invented reality I was nearly convinced.

[adamskiyo]

scaryflakybiscuits, are you being sarcastic?

Because if you are you've gone a bit over the top.

[Mystergeneral]

Ricky Gervais was on the writing team for big train. This was probably one of his.

[SturmMitfahrer]

i love Big Train!

tho my fav is the pit of eyes!

[maxine2win]

It's different to how I remember

And for the very very confused, yes that was the real Jesus and the real Satan, and of course Jesus is British because as everyone knows God is an Englishman

Jesus and Satan have been working as actors in British comedy for time now

[blaze1157]

Woah! I had no idea Jesus was british.

[fatma0011]

And satan is from Dublin :D

[Espeically]

that wasnt the real jesus, the whole thing was photoshoped...fake

[arizona80]

dude are you for real? is a comedy sketch, thats an actor dressed like jesus, yo better be a small child because if you arent then you must have soim serious issues

[meowludo]

But what about the satan? wasn't he real? there is no way that those horns are fo' shizzel...

[MrDobilina]

lol you fag, its called sarcasm and a joke

[meowludo]

are you being sarcastic?...

[fishlycoxwell]

fake what?

[fenn23x]

haha you big twat lol

[fenn23x]

haha you big twat lol

[jenhug8]

OMG! This is one of the FAVORITE COMEDY SKETCHES I've found on YouTube Ever! (I Swear I've sent it to all my friends!) Thanks Punchbear!!! :)

[phantomdoodler]

big train is great, but you can see the chris morris input. its like "jam" but with laughter and not really as dark at all. 2 excellent and under rated shows

[thupercow]

Is the interviewer Graham Lineham?

[Punchbear]

It is indeed.

[paddle9]

Graham Linehan actually

[geekchic7992]

hey sorry to ask but does anyone know if there was a sketch on Big train that involved someone being followed around by a tin man to weird jerky music? been trying to find it for ages

thanks

xxx

[TabbyTwitch]

OMG yeah, that was my favourite! We went round college doing that for weeks after we saw that! It was put in between sketches though so i doubt you'll find it on here but you never know...! Let me know if you do!

[dogggg1211]

The laughter track was added for Americans so they know when to laugh!

[BrainTwitch2]

I think you just about explained it.

That is so sad...honestly. We don't need canned laughter, not all Americans are mindfucks (damn stereotype)!! God, that ticks me off!

[dogggg1211]

I know I love Wes Anderson and Kevin Smith films I know your not all like that, we in Britain have dumb fucks as well! LOL

[delparian]

el proximo video de big train haganlo con subtitulos en español!!

yo se inglés pero como q me cuesta traducir todo lo q dicen ellos!:P

saludos y suert

[channel537]

One of the best sketches of all time.

[neat0dev0]

HAHA amazing.

[darwhi]

irish comedy writing at its best..

english comedy acting at its best..

who said we can't get along...... ?

[norsef]

The IRA? Late 70's comedians?

[BoyWithBlackWings07]

Lol, I'm with ya darwhi! XD

[DeepSevenfold]

right u, i wanna word wiv u LMAO

[hooweelewis]

Jesus, 'You've always got an answer.'

Satan, 'No.'

Champagne comedy!

[CarmenxSandiego]

haha, best part.

[Riverman1971]

still searching for the jesus/satan job interview sketch. any ideas? this is great

[Punchbear]

I'm very happy that so many people are enjoying this.

[kerarock]

BEST for a while!

[hkoppel]

Would be gr8, but some stupid c*** has added a idiot (sometimes also called laughter) track to it.

[George42c]

That's because it's from a TV sketch show in the UK from the late 90s to the early 00s

[o0micmac0o]

I think it might be shown to an audience & that laughter recorded, but I'm not sure.

[hkoppel]

I've seen it on TV - there was no canned laughter .

[o0micmac0o]

Furry nuff - I have a different memory to that. So is this from the new DVD? - did they add it just for that? that seems an odd & lame thing to do.

[r0gl0]

In case anyone didn't know, this isn't an entire program... it's just a one segment from a sketch show called big train. it would be silly as a whole program.

[SuperSexySascha]

This could actually be alot funnier, i like the concept though.

[MissSk8Alot]

lol very funny, He gave me the sack, im saaacked lol

[soryusernamebintaken]

Reminds me of 'The office' But this was on TV before that?

[HomeVideoz]

yeah, but its a sketch show with alot of different sketvhes only a handful are in an office

[michael1812]

there is the fact that they are satan and jesus in a office situation, but to put the entire thing in a (fake) documentary...that's just very daring...and hilarious...it looks real...but you know it isn't...and that's the joke...to be serious when you would like to burst in laughter...come on! You're dressed as the devil and you're jesus...so many things you could do, but they did this...brilliant...

[WATERVLOG]

That's funny. : )

[greenyshere]

XD so funny

[MRKRUNCH]

To put Satan falling from Gods favour, in an office situation is pure genius. fantastic stuff!!!LOVE IT.

[linsaybcool]

very subtle

[linsaybcool]

haha

[gracie1simonpeggrulz]

this is so funny. i honestly have no idea how they can b serious, whilst dressed as satan and jesus. its just comedy genius. ive allready made a comment but its so good, im making another 1!!!!

[Punchbear]

Highly recommended, this show is the most hidden comedy jewel ever. Genius stuff! And I think yer man Matthews is from the same town as me, but I may be wrong like cats burning in a sleeping bag.

[gracie1simonpeggrulz]

this is amazing. im so gettin this programme on dvd!!!!
