O.T.T. - Jehovahs Witness sketch 1982

[dbas1986]

Lenny Henry

[CoolBricks603]

this vid is a fail

i got here from watching mr bean

and the jehovah's witnesses that come to my door don't do that

lame

[fenbogle]

FUNNY STUFF.

[puppetshroom]

To whom it may concern,

I am usually not concerned about hurt feelings from people, but i figure this needs stated. A religion is only sacred to some people and can and WILL be made fun of. An attempt to silence peoples negative opinion(exaggerated or not) is a violation of our right to free speech. You are allowed your religion without persecution to stop you and we are allowed the right to laugh at it. It was also aimed at voodooism which is still alive in new orleans where i once lived.

[goojman69]

it was kinda gay.. no wait, it was super gay!!

[Professor6871]

I must do what Lenny does at th end of this skitch, the next time these fruite cakes come round my house and knock on my door.

[Professor6871]

Quite funny skitch but even more so when Lenny comes on at the end with loin cloth from his house.

[Professor6871]

There worse than the Free Masons at least they meet in secret and don't come round your house with their pervese literature. What sad religion who don't have either Christmas, Easter or birthdays. No wonder nobody can stand em.

[chucklepants69]

The good old days when Comedy,was just funny...

[missswildcardxx]

:( For your information not all Jehovah's Wittnesses come unprepared. Mind you the scetch was not only aimed to be offencive toward us but blacks (no offence intended). I would flag this but for some reason it does not say anything about offence to religion.

[JobecRichardson]

@missswildcardxx You have no sense of humor then, do you?

[missswildcardxx]

@JobecRichardson Not when it come to my religion.

[JobecRichardson]

@missswildcardxx Ah, I'm not holding anything against you man. Be your self :D

[missswildcardxx]

@JobecRichardson It's been my religion all my life and I love it, can you imagine how you would feel if something you loved was being riped of? Glad we settled this. :P

[Professor6871]

@missswildcardxx Who gives a fuck about your crazy fruit cake belief in Jehovah. I wish you lot would dig a big hole and bury yourselves in it.

[Professor6871]

@missswildcardxx God I hope it was offensive to them because that was the whole point of it. Any nutty religion like Jehovah Witnesses that stop people having life saving drugs needs to be ridiculed and mocked. Their churches need to be closed down and for them to be deported form this country. The sooner these weirdos are not here the better.

[HoweFactor]

Bird, bird bird, birds the word of joohoover

[dunkiep]

Cringe. Dawn French really had a go at Len for pimping himself out like this in his early career. That's just embarassing.

[Instrumentals4Sale]

@dunkiep

really?

didnt Lenny write this sketch?

I wouldnt say its hillarious, but there is something mildly funny about the idea of a unprepared JWs running into someone else with crazy beliefs.

hit or miss really

[mistofoles]

Nice to see Lenny as himself for once!

[TheAnxiousMan]

Chris Tarrant can't do comedy.

[SourProductions0]

casserole your grandmother? Chicken Song?

[kabogga]

Q: Are you a Jehovah's Witness?

A: No, I didn't even see the accident! ;-)

[PhilipWhitmore]

Very funny! It is true, some JW's really don't know what to do when someone says they'd like to hear what they have to say.

[Professor6871]

@PhilipWhitmore Well their brain dead anyway the sad f@@@@@s they are.

[mattwsims80]

racist?

[KensingtonModClub]

no of course not

[colinsmyth99]

no. Just shit.

[bluejeckett]

Rather like the similar gag in Black Books isnt it?

[mlcll]

except black books was 20 years later uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[BENJIVENIAMIN]

Excellent!

[painsey]

fucking class

[b4k4chan]

Rofl XD That was funny^^

[brinjen72]

Why was this video flagged? There is nothing offensive about it, quite hilarious actually!

[trap0001]

Because political correctness is still alive and kicking.

[RebelVoDKa]

Probably some Guardian-reading cunt thought he'd earn a couple of Do-Gooder points by reporting something for being racist.

[norsef]

If you must do a joke about race make sure it's completely absurd so that the only person being insulted is the person who takes it seriously.

[Professor6871]

@brinjen72 It must those those Jehovahs Witnesses flagging it on You Tube. Mind you I'm surprise because I thought they didn't have electricity in their homes.

[missswildcardxx]

@Professor6871 lol ofcourse we have electrisity >.<

[Professor6871]

@missswildcardxx You sure or didn't email from somebody else's home? Anyway the word electricity dosen't have a s in it. Anyway that was irony what I said about you lot there, not having electricity doesn't Jehovah Witnessess teach you that?

[missswildcardxx]

@Professor6871 spelling mistake i missed..

huh?

I really dont want to argue with you, and I don't really like the comments you gave me. Please talk to me about my religion if you have any problems, but as I said, I don't want to argue with you.

[Professor6871]

@missswildcardxx Arr you don't like my comments well stuff you then. There's a dictionary haven't you heard of it or is that not in your religion. Oh I have problem with what you believe in but you got an even bigger problem there, and that is your all a bunch of losers. I'm sick tired of you lot that why don't you disappear from the face of the earth?

[missswildcardxx]

@Professor6871 I'm really sorry I've upset you.

[singen1976]

Both dealing in crack and holding up liquer stores at the same time !?! and women say men can't multitask.

[pillthepower]

No your wrong bustadyme!The african black man is now dealing in crack and holding up liquer stores in the US.

[Granitoons]

'You too can learn how to casserole your Grandmother!'

[salvadormarley]

Fantastic sketch - Lenny Henry at last being put to good use.

[DiverforPort]

Thats one way to get rid of Jehovah's!

[nervouspete]

Almost amusing, points to the black actor (must find out his name) and Alexei, but unfortunately Chris Tarrant just can't do comedy outside of kid's shows.

[EBursey]

The 'black actor' is Lenny Henry... & I agree with you about Tarant. He's a prat!!!

[nervouspete]

Curious, I didn't recognise him, must be because - like Alexi - he's so young there. Lenny is tops, and he's a very good producer as well - Crucial Films have done some splendid dramas. (I think Lenny's a lot better nowadays as a straight actor though, than as a comedian.)

[CenturyEndSaviour]

Lenny Henry is the name of the black comedian

[nervouspete]

D'oh! Yep, I discovered this a whiles ago. And deep in the back of my mind I knew that my baffled You Tube comment would return to haunt me. Thanks for the post though, regardless. Other recent good things Lenny Henry has done is his voice work for Neil Gaiman's audio book 'Anansi Boys', which is about a young mild mannered man in London coming to terms with the death of his father, who happens to be an African spider God. Worth checking out for some excellent acting and narration.

[BustaDyme]

Ha, the sketch is ultimately poking fun at Blacks instead of the Witnesses. It is supported by the crass stereotype that the African black man is a canibal and practices voodoo.

[FabFM]

somwhat amusing, but hardly the greatest comedy in the world.

[giNgkoC]

Where's Larry Graham?

[mojoelem]

Or indeed Hank Marvin & George Benson.

[bornagaingeordie]

I never knew Chris had such big feet!

[andyee]

hahahaha!

[panicatac]

interesting to see again, but really just a reminder that TISWAS was a million times funnier!

[Cool2BCeltic]

This is a great sketch!

[LeboviciAB84]

Aaaah, innocent times.
