Mike Birbiglia Christian Rock & Mormon Rock

[jelliclekat24]

I'm a christian and I find this hilarious and completely true XD. Thumbs up if you agree!

[pagieoochick]

@Cheerum *drool drool* funeral potatoes!!!! I luvs them so very much!!! XD

[nemommm32]

Total Christian here. But GUYS! I swear that might be a real song.... :)

[yoitsrami]

LMAO! ....and christ is gooooodddd GOD GOD GOD... LOL

I woke up in the morning and i had some transubstantiated toast lol <--- wtf is that? lol

[AirKIng74]

Let me ask something... what the fuck makes you think joking will shut up the religious nuts who were upset by a joke. I'm all for finding your spirituality and all that, but I don't think god needs people to defend him, after all, it's GOD. Just shut up and watch the comedy, ignore the idiots in the comments screaming sacrilege even though he never even made fun of any religion, just it's worshipers.

[DownClownTownFrown]

@AirKIng74 PREACH IT BROTHA'

[PitchingAcademy]

I believe this to be true

[ALANFROMTJ]

YOUTUBE: Where all the angry loners with no sense of humor will debate you about everything.

[C1Era]

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT imma solve this religion issue right here right now aight?

Mormons: You're FUCKING insane

Chrisitans: You're FUCKING insane

Muslims You're FUCKING insane

Hindus: You're FUCKING insane

Jews: You're FUCKING insane

Scientology: I love Tom Cruise

Buddhists: You're FUCKING insane

[MonotonouslySporadic]

@C1Era While I mostly agree, I feel a little disinclined to trust anyone who intentionally types "aight".

...Christ is God.

[C1Era]

@MonotonouslySporadic AH THE WORLD IS ENDING...sorry bud, just like your book written in the bronze age by a bunch of non-educated, self serving idiots, it is incorrect

[blizzard4422]

@MonotonouslySporadic your dumb

[MrPerezCabrera]

@C1Era yes 90% of the population is insane..you happy now?

[C1Era]

@MrPerezCabrera Insane may be the wrong word. Non-questioning fools more so, not so hard to believe. At one point most of the world believed their was a God of the sun and a God of the moon and a God of the rain, etc.

[cleorule]

dude if you dont like what he is saying get the fuck off the page and let the others enjoy it. Im catholic and it really doesnt matter cause guess what it is a flippin joke

[Potatoe227]

20 people have aliens in their head

[InterWebSpecialist]

This guy is funny just laugh

[ARbenSRbarGR]

transubstantiated toast ROFL

[xSmittyxCorex]

yeah, i DO have to admit, overall pretty non-offensive...although what's meant by Christian "rock" is the question...what he says is true of CONTEMPORARY.......but rock is rock, Christian rock bands sound just like any rock band, there just aren't many radio stations that play REAL Christian ROCK, just the light stuff mostly.

[The11colek]

@xSmittyxCorex

what the fuck do christians have to rock about besides the fact that they have a sexual obsession with a Jew who lived roughly 2000 years ago

the problem with christian rock is what they sing about, i mean nobody but Christians gives a shit.

[xSmittyxCorex]

@The11colek nobody except those who have been through what ANY rock band is singing about gives a crap...that applies to all music, you write about what you know. and there are alot of "Christian rock bands" (i actually am not sure myself what i think of the term "Christian rock," like i said, rock is rock, i wouldn't say "christian" is a genre) that write about life in general as anyone can relate to. you just need to hear the right ones. like RED or Thousand Foot Krutch.

[The11colek]

@xSmittyxCorex

Bull shit for the first part of that statement, at least to my knowledge none of my friends has ever been a pimp or hustling corners or any of that hip hop rap stuff they sing about yet they seem to enjoy the fuck out of the music. I have also never been a crazed drug addict strung out on tour for 8 months or had a physically violent argument with ma bitch and yet songs about both i relate to and enjoy. I mean i guess i don't give a shit about that stuff... ah i see your point

[piemakesmelol]

@xSmittyxCorex- Christians shouldn't be allowed near rock music, it's not their thing. they shouldn't be allowed to taint the best genre of music with their shitty preaching. I couldn't give a fuck about Jesus, in fact I detest the bastard because he inspired the biggest cult in the world and set the human race back a few fucking centuries. Rock is rock, anything Christian is shit. 

[bilhelm]

He's funny without being offensive, I think religion is nightmarishly insane and stupid..

[thecolormaria]

you gotta admit, he has a classy way of making fun of religion

[DinoDude65]

I was expecting him to say something about how all contemperary Christian music pretty much uses the same four chords. Usually in G, so it's G, Dsus, Em, C2.

[IceTalonHawkFang]

oh my god i love this guy he is hilarious =))

[K20a3RSX]

mike birbiglia's witty comedy = epic win

[Fender1976uk]

I can understand that Christians praise God etc. which is fine! BUT when they start seeing Christian rock as cool and entertainment??? that isn't very cool! I had an argument with some guys over whos the best guitar players in the world?? they were blabbing about Christian guitarist?? one guy ive heard who SUCKS!! and they were trying to say these guys were as good or better than Clapton??? PLEASE!!! go away!!

[Rawk4Life]

You're hearing the wrong Christian bands then. You need to hear Rex Carroll, former guitarist for Christian metal band Whiteheart. I'd be shocked if you said he didn't sound as good as someone like Steve Vai.

[BloodstainedTuxedo]

@Rawk4Life Rex Caroll is talented but I wouldn't exactly place him anywere near Steve Vai... ever

[Rawk4Life]

Have you even heard his solos such as Nagasake and The Eternal Fire? Or how about the solo he does on his new album?

[Rawk4Life]

Oops, I mean Whitecross, not Whiteheart.

[Ardiceo]

@Fender1976uk heard of phil keggy?

[Ardiceo]

@Fender1976uk heard of phil keaggy

[nocturnezero]

He's got some balls singing that song in Utah.

[ltaltman]

oh shut up with the religious banter. it was HILARIOUS!!!

[pilottim79]

How does Mike know all these Mormon culture jokes.  LOL.

Like:

Jello

Gosh

Darn

Heck

It his really funny, just wonder if he has spent time in Utah.

[obiwanda]

@pilottim79 I don't know about Jello, but basically any of the more prudish conservative factions of Christianity use those curse euphemisms; he could use the same bit (minus the jello) for other denominations too.

[SamBendsIt]

dude im a christian, and there might be three at THE MOST christian rock songs i like bahahaha most of em are terrible

[vikesman28]

The Christian rock one is so funny, Christian rock is some of the worst music made

[SalSanMar3]

I'm a Christian Universalist and I totally agree with you, it's incredibly terrible. That's why I only focus on the lyrics when I'm in church.

[entropie]

FYI Mike regarding Latter Day Saints: As one; I believe that we call ourselves the restored church. Hence no we are not 170 plus years old. The Lords Church was restored that long ago. Our church is as old as Adam as I believe it is the same church that was given to our Greatest Grandfather.

[ayviolinist]

lol this is funny

[Trixxieheart]

mike birbiglia is awesome, momons suck and so does christian rock srry but it's true

[HollyAmberBryan]

you're a dumb ass

[pilottim79]

I think people who post about other people who suck suck. Sorry its the truth.

[adder80]

@pilottim79

lol.. "Sorry its the truth" makes you right. o_O

[fratboyfrat]

Haha, the Christian Rock thing is funny because it's true.

[MissBasura]

Mike Birbiglia is adorable. Also, is there something specifically Mormon about Jell-o for breakfast?

[IareDewey]

"The region has also been identified as the "Jell-O Belt", referring to the 20th century Mormon cultural stereotype that Mormons have an affection for Jell-O (a gelatin-based food). In support of this image, Jell-O was designated Utah's official state snack food in 2001." - Wikipedia "Mormon Belt"

[Cheerum]

don't forget the shredded carrots in the green jello! Funeral potatos anyone?

[hoserkid]

The sad thing is, I've had jello for breakfast

[lijawan0]

Haha. The sad thing is, I'm mormon.

[pilottim79]

Its not sad, I am Mormon and find this very funny.

[okkoohawhosre76]

it's parody :P joke is the meer name of "christian rock" is hypocritical (and presumptuous on other schools of thought, but i won't go there....) LOL!

[DoctorCreamsicle]

2 out fo 2 Wading River NY Atheists find this HYSTERICAL! WOO!

[HannahTawni1]

1 jew in salt lake city. ahaha

[72fj40]

I'm Mormon...I thought this was funny!

[DanaKatharineMulder]

We can't just enjoy a funny Birbigs comedy bit on Youtube without a religious debate? Do we have that little to do that we have time to debate the existence of a God with people we don't even know, who just visited this website to laugh? It's a little amusing.

[ATOwned1]

i agree. laugh it up

[okkoohawhosre76]

actually, it adds to that comedic irony thing rofl

[lysolbombs470]

@DanaKatharineMulder

Christians don't understand this.

[PALINZlabia]

@DanaKatharineMulder

I did acid with him

[erniesilk18]

@PALINZlabia Birbiglia? or God

[theenlightenedvan]

@DanaKatharineMulder HAHAHAH SO FUCKING TRUE!!! that is the thing about youtube..it brings out all the EXPERTS!!! lol

[YerKiddinMeRight]

You want to suck his dick? Tell him, don't tell us!

[misstoad]

Oh yes please, I'd love to! Let me tell you all about it.

[lanidar]

one for all of us secular humanists, thanks Mike!

[FrankieKins]

Thanks for my smile for the day. I really enjoyed this video.

[jumaine12321]

Birbigs is coming to the University of Michigan! Get tickets on ticketmaster

[invidosa]

oh I cant wait for the show! I was so excited he was coming to Ann Arbor :D

[EricEqualsMCSquared]

what EXACTLY do scientologists believe?

[dobsonbell]

nothing logical

[dude19288]

@EricEqualsMCSquared 

[crosscountrytc]

"I woke up in the morning and I thought I had postpartum depression but then Tom Cruise told me I didn't and..." lol! That one's great!

[magnificent56]

Scientology Rock was hilarious :D

[interested976]

National burn your bible day December 25th 2012

[ilovekatic]

If we make it that far...

End Of The World - December 21st 2012!

Do you believe it?

[philster08]

No.

[shellymorrison]

Oh, yay! I've been looking for this forever, but couldn't remember who the comedian was. But does anyone know where to find the atheist rock song included???

[fjdksla243]

i wish the quality was better, i wish someone would put up the comedy central episode

[freetheligers]

"a nice guy sure but dont get too excited"

lmfao.

[supanekochan]

lol theres aliens in my head

[Atticusssssss]

why no atheist rock included in this video haha?

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

Why would atheists want to be grouped with religions?

[avarisilver]

..Because religion pertains to your belief towards god and believing that there isn't own is still a belief.

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

Thats not what I said. Learn a little reading comprehension.

[avarisilver]

Oooh, you must be one of those rebellious nonconformist atheists. I see where you're coming from and it's just bullshit stemming from misguided teenage angst. Waa waa. Did mommy not love you? Was daddy not proud?

REAL atheists care enough about their beliefs to not have them be ignored.

It's their BELIEF, why should it not be mentioned with other BELIEFS?

Scientology and Taoism are nothing alike, but they are mentioned in the same breath when people talk about religions.

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

Youre pretty good at making false assumptions about subject you do not understand. I am not an athiest. Youre also a complete idiot who is incapable of understanding a simple statement on a youtube video. The original comment I made on this video had nothing to do about the actual beliefs of atheists. it was a simple statement that most atheists would not want to be lumped up with mormons and scientologists.

[staticradar]

Actually that's false.  An atheist by definition is lack of belief. It's not something I really think about each day, I don't randomly go up to people and be like "There is no god." Religion just holds no part in my life. It's lack of belief rather than belief in nothing that makes an atheist. It's a subtle difference, but you can't really say an atheistic view is a belief when it's not it's lack of belief.

[Addiction747]

You said it.

[omiolo]

At least he is an equal opportunist! He probably should have included atheists though.

[taukid421]

at the show in milwaukee, he did an atheist rock song, where he sang "there is no god."
