King Herod: Jesus Christ Superstar

[HappyMadisonDude]

OMG THAT'S PRINCIPAL ANDERSON FROM BILLY MADISON!!! LMFAO XD

[worras2007]

Ingenious!!!

[brettos10]

new Rickroll?

[1997gjbg]

lmfao is so pirate

[rjcripe]

Come on, king of the JUICE!

[rjcripe]

King Herod looks like he's having a grand ol' time... being a member of his entourage must have been a blast ;)

[Taterzz]

herod isn't portrayed as gay in this, it's a stab at the hedonistic lifestyle.

[ohmygianna]

mute, play "Sexy And I Know It"

[Dumpspace]

Movies from the 70's is my biggest and possibly only argument against legal and cheap recreational drugs. I'm not sure if it was being distracted by Herod's obvious modeling of his ass-less pants, but seeing it live in the 90's was much less painful.

[secondchapter]

This is the ONLY song I don't like from the soundtrack.



[josette4231]

Look that black Judas has a terrific voice. I saw him at the Sagner theatre in New Orleans,La. It turned m on. He didn't even need a microphone. I loved him I hate the New version.That Judas stinks singing.

[gahrzahk]

It only gets worse knowing they have a black dude staring as Judas...

[daleva187goligo]

wat the hell am i watching?

[Mileneum69]

@daleva187goligo Youre watching one of the greatest Musicals ever made.

[IAvzo]

I watched this in school && I couldn't stop laughing at this part

[Mee551able]

lol



[AlabamaGene]

Dude looks like Bernie Madoff



[ctburgh]

I wanted to see the original video because My Little Pony had a PMV with Discord.

[Anamar221]

Herod's island looks like a penis

[latinhero1818]

I dont know why but in the beginning when he says jesus, it almost sounds like he got kicked in the balls

[keatsblake100]

Long live the Israeli Mossad and may they carry out every operation successfully!

[ForeignKid97]

i love how super jewish he is

[MetalAddict345]

So much better than that shitty 2000 version lol

[MsStefias]

I SO love this piece :D

[Ryakki]

Not very historically accurate... no contemporary historian of the time makes a mention of Jesus. He wasn't popular or even known at the time, assuming he existed at all, which seems unlikely, given the evidence.

[blankmansuper]

@Ryakki

I suppose I could give you that, but a lot of things aren't mentioned in contemporary history. By this logic, a lot of people didn't exist.

[Ryakki]

@blankmansuper

The thing is it's a HIGHLY documented period of history. And mentions of Jesus outside of Josephus account which is almost universally accepted, even by heavily biased Christian historians, as a fraud? Not one. Even by people commenting on religions of the times... great natural events like earthquakes and darkening of skies that the bible says happened... he escapes mention in a way that just seems fantastically unlikely, if he really existed.

[blankmansuper]

@Ryakki

And I'm sure you will escape mention just as fantastically. Probably most people on this video will as well.

But don't worry. It happens to the best of them.

[Ryakki]

@blankmansuper

I didn't claim to be the son of a god or cause earthquakes or the blackening of a sky or assault a very large and profitable complex and somehow never get mentioned in any news or records.

I won't get mentioned because I didn't do much of anything out of the ordinary.

Which makes a lot more sense.

[blankmansuper]

@Ryakki

Jealousy is an ugly monster, I suppose. Don't worry, we all have out own talents. Just don't give up.

[Ryakki]

@blankmansuper

I have no need to be jealous of fairy tale men. We exist for but a very brief moment. I do not plan on spending my moment in thrall to the imaginary creations of iron age brutes.

[blankmansuper]

@Ryakki

You have spent a good amount of time enthralled by it, though. It's kind of why I feel bad for you.

[Ryakki]

@blankmansuper

Only till I was about 5.  I figured out Jesus was fake about the same time as Santa.

[gyan132]

I'm playing Herod for my schools production in 20 days. I am so not up for this!

[RH2451982]

Herod The Bastard

[InsanityVlogs]

xD I love it.

[zytigon]

So frustated following a star in spirals ,Magi asked nearest King. Matt 2v2-12. Magi: "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?" Herod the Great:"I have no new baby sons, What can you be thinking of? Wait! A thought has just been placed in my head, could this be The Christ? Advisors, do you know anything of The Christ?" Advisors: "Would that be Jesus Christ of Nazareth who was crucified under the rule of your son Herod Antipas, 34 years after you died?" Herod: "Yes, that very one",

[zytigon]

Advisors:" Follow the road 6 miles to Bethlehem, there you will find him, just round the bend, at '3 Christ was born here St.' in the stable of 'Time for a quickie? Inn'. Herod to Magi;"Did you hear that? Now when you find Christ, return at once & tell me where he is, that I may do something that fits with a verse of Septuagint".So off they set, fortunately there were cats eyes to follow as the star mentioned on the plans was bust & they'd forgotten to note which constellation it was in.

[zytigon]

When they arrived at the Inn they asked "Where is Jesus the miracle worker?" Innkeeper:" Sorry, you missed him, they had an appointment to fit in a random verse about Egypt", Magi: "Oh grief, I hope history will be kind to us" Innkeeper, "Yes slip me some prutah & I'll see that you get a glowing write up anyhow, but how you can call yourself wise or even astrologer , let alone astronomers & not mention which constellation the star was in is a mystery, you seem more like Roaming priests"

[blackout2189]

The 70s, huh...



[karmadhyana]

RICHARD SIMMONS!

Actually, the gent above must have something going on--he's surrounded by hotties. (harhar)

[SwedishLink]

King of the Juice

[thelibrarynerd]

On a scale of 1 to stilton this goes all the way to stinking bishop!

[dlauer90]

OH ho ho... FTFW

[Godaiseirei]

[Hakudohshi]

Unabashedly hilarious xD

[snLobstrosity]

If you like to eat rice, yes! Long grain wild rice...

[Drewnation07]

[TrueTubePoops]

@Drewnation07 Dimitri: JUICE!?!? WHO GOT DA JUICE!?!?

[KingCraze22]

Deeply, Deeply disturbing

[zzman305]

Lol, he throws a bagel at him. I never noticed that

[RandolphP]

King Newman is more like it.

[LolCaramelz]

Lol, more like King Winnie the Pooh

[lakotasue]

@LolCaramelz TOO FF!!!! I've never thought of him like dat!!! Seen it hundereds of times.. It seems!

[BeatboxDisaster]

i don't wanna be rude but ... has king herod really been gay?

[Ballom84]

@BeatboxDisaster yeah, cause being swarmed by ladies who rub your body is very gay :P

[MrSlendermanxLove]

@Ballom84 He never cared who it was. There were men there too ^_^ *coughs* Ugly men, coming from a gay

[Ballom84]

@MrSlendermanxLove Yeah, they are ugly. Btw, looove your username! :D

[painlessissuicide]

@Ballom84 I think he was supposed to be more of a typical '70s hedonist

[MrPerfle]

@BeatboxDisaster lol thats what i thought

[eaterofclams]

@BeatboxDisaster

Ben Gay?...no...that was a roman chariot racer...

rather flamboyant...always competed in a long pink flowing

robe..

[SolitaireMasta]

@BeatboxDisaster No. Actually he was basically omni. What I get out of it is that he'd fuck anything that moved. Kinda creepy.

[JOINTHEPOSSE]

@BeatboxDisaster Yes XD

[rex666777]

probably the creepiest thing set to catchy music

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[nessadavis71]

Some of these comments are having me laugh harder then the video!

[FlaEle29]

-.- this is Jesus's face looking king Herod -.-

[lgmmrm]

now we understand why jesus didn't fight for his freedom when Pilate sentenced him to the cross..

[lordfoxy23]

Do you think thousands of years ago, The great King Herod had any idea he would be portrayed...Like this... xD

[garthphantomlife]

He makes me laugh. :D

[thetwilightzone100]

no way near as good as mayall

[joinmebowser9000]

IN the 40 year celebration King Herod was some fine dude in a tuxedo with gay waitresses.

[Rayarena]

Hahahaha..The producers of the show made Herod such a queen! LOL.

[bigdaddyshane]

Great performance by Josh Mostel. Classic

[FlashFire20]

Press 6 for the absolute most epic moment in this song.

[Jakedastudly]

Historical Footage

[Miyuke1234]

I wasn;t looking at Jesus or listening to the song... I was looking at that flubby belly... I couldn't look away :S

[bilius19282]

Does it bother anyone else that, while a tuba part quite clearly exists in the music, none is found on Herod's dock/house/place? Not to mention the unjust lack of slide whistle...

[ryoushii]

That was a waste of some good bagels and schmear.

[TheMangoDeluxe]

Can anyone really blame herod here? Jesus is being a dick just standing there.

[TheBrokkoli611]

why is judas playing the piano : )

[CommandoOfWorlds]

jesus-...DEAR LORD JUST KILL ME NOW!

[AnotherSadSongToSing]

I can't stop laughing! XD

[gambit7775]

When i first heard this, i thought Herod would be slim, have a slight mustache, and be wearing a sequined suit, like you might see at broadway. I saw this, and realized... What you have seen, you can never unsee.

[MegaRockcool]

@gambit7775 Dude, go to the other king herod song

[gambit7775]

@MegaRockcool but he cant sing... oh never mind

[magicianmike1234]

This is actually pretty nightmarish.



[COOLIO12376]

Fatty lol

[sugargirl723]

Is it just me, or does King Herod look a lot like Jacob from Glee?

When I saw this thing I thought　”No freaking way, Jacob."

[Tom6093]

Harod has an anger management problem.

[ShadowPoet174]

@Tom6093 Nah, just a drama queen.  Hehehehe.

[redredlauren]

very weak voice.....I adored the actors father, this doesnt have enough emotion or strength in the voice,

[NameInVainProduction]

@redredlauren I like to think that it just adds to the character. Wouldn't the greasiest character fit having a weak voice?

[qwertyytrewq71]

i love herod hahahaha

[iAmTheGriff]

those 55 people need to lighten up a bit !!

[4IAMATITOK]

spare some change?

[moziz3]

madison sccouts

[SpacemanVisiting]

They are not mocking Jesus, they are mocking themselves because they have no clue.

Not the fault of them, just ignorant uneducated people asking questions in a song.

[SpacemanVisiting]

@SpacemanVisiting

Maybe they are educated and confused just like all kids these days?

Just keep it clean man, read the ten commandos, not much to look up to when our parents do the reverse?

[Epistolary8]

@SpacemanVisiting The ten commandos? Did God send down a bunch of guerilla soldiers or something?

[SpacemanVisiting]

@Epistolary8

Yeah, sorry about that, was doing a lot of other things at the time which made me rush my spelling lol, I was playing the ps3 on one foot, xbox 360 on the other, also having a go at the thumb piano whilst typing with my free hand. My third leg was getting attention from the nasty granny on her knees and I was also watching the matrix...

It's all go these days x

[Epistolary8]

@SpacemanVisiting Lulz. Right after typing that comment, I saw that Jesus was being escorted by ten actual commandos, so I thought that you had just made a joke that I didn't catch. I've never seen Superstar, but a friend of mine linked me to this video. Gotta say, Herod was really lulzy.

[grimlorex]

Herod=Pedobear



[bipree]

not good, mocking jesus is not a good thing

[rr3124]

@bipree Like you just did, forgetting to make it Jesus?

[AL3CZASTROW]

king herod = Stud lol

[sharpvamp]

Herod freaked me out as a kid.

still does a bit.

[clifbuel]

My favorite song this Snd.Trk.

[spongebobslushpants1]

This is so freaking disturbing on so many levels.

[Emmeyfish]

That's right... Duck and dodge the flying bread biscuits thrown by the creepy Herod having a temper tantrum.

[sorota23]

this is kind of disturbing...

[ivlfounder]

@sorota23

I think we're supposed to be creeped out by Herod the Hedonist and his harem of pervs.

Notice the temper tantrum at the end when Christ won't be reduced to a form of entertainment?

[NYrocknrollbitch]

Herrod looks like Richard Simmons nowadays.

[fremontdenver]

wow their eye makeup is beautiful....

[WillRennar]

Herod's 3-course meal:

Bread for an appetizer,

water and wine for drinks, and

ONE EXTRA-LARGE HAM FOR THE MAIN COURSE!

[insaneintherainCE]

The scariest part? Seeing Herod's close-up at the beginning. *Shudders*

[CoralBR98]

The first time I watched this, my initial reaction was:

"...What in the name of SANITY did I just watch?!"

Each time afterwards, it just gets funnier and funnier.

[thegorn68]

Best number in the musical! This is Josh Mostel playing Herod here. Great character actor. Some of you might remember him in City Slickers. "Scoop of chocolate, scoop of vanilla. Don't waste my time."

[nakebos666]

quo vadis motherfucker????

[PandorasBox909]

Walk across my swimming pool!!! www

[Hakudohshi]

The actual Herod was, according too most sources, quite a humorless and paranoid sort of person, not unusual for a man of his position, but this representation of him is a lot more fun and colorful.

[rodney1you1plonker]

when we watchied this in r.s. they paused it rigth when herod is face up to the camera..that image will haunt me for the rest of my days

[drewskione]

If this does not make you smile something is wrong with you. This scene is hilarious.

[giraffessuck]

makes nightmare before christmas seem so amateurish!

[giraffessuck]

enjoy? like we have a choice!

[frsboy]

Catchy! The first time is saw this, i couldnt stop laughing! :D

[fratmatt6969]

hahaha this is the most 70's thing i've ever seen!

[12Toodles12]

He has a really creepy voice for what he looks like.

[SMLV12302]

Love 2:00!

[Drivebytheology]

dont forget Herod massacred Jewish children and women, he was also a Jew

[loathedmouse]

I've heard so many versions of this song, but the hedonistic charm of this version reins supreme in my opinion.

[MayneX]

Танцы ёптить! ;)

[Lhetargija]

i see your dead bobby haha ha you daing in your vomit

[coloradie]

Why is Chuck Norris mentioned on here so much? lol.

[TalesofTruthahn]

Cheesus, King of the Juice <3

[Haihaihallo]

OHOHOHOOOO!!!!1111!11!!

[7171997007]

2:10

best smile evar

[PalafoEsMiAmor]

EPIC

[dapontemozart1989]

According me, Jesus is thinking: "And I thought the Cross was the most terrible of the tortures...."

[JubalCalif]

@dapontemozart1989

HA !!! 

:-)

[CoralBR98]

The pianist looks like he's having a good time.

[stfwho]

@TheAlivampire you forgot to add "insert comment that rips off comments that rip off comments" comment on the end

[leftyla]

@TheAlivampire You forgot, "I'm only *insert age here* but I like this music better than that Lady Gaga crap. I wish I was born *insert decade here*.

[nyrd722]

I always finger dance in the club

Also. Go Revolting Blob!

[teamfol]

Love this song, but i think i would understand/ enjoy it more if i was on some sort of drug. Im thinking maybe acid, or shrooms. Any suggestions rofl.

[Deira4ever]

O.o.... 0:23

[MegaRockcool]

0:25

[TheSamvadar]

There's a word that describes King Herod's personality, but I can't put my finger on it.

[effigyoflight]

@TheSamvadar Eccentric...? I don't think that's it though lol

[TheSamvadar]

@effigyoflight something like that

[bertiehair]

Great great song, slightly spooky though as we all know whats coming

[TheFuzzyLucario]

If I were Jesus, I would be disturbed too.

[inevs11]

45 people were confused by the guy after 0:26 .

[jaimekstillo1]

all the dancers are men????

[jcmjelve]

For the most phenomenal instrumental version of Jesus Christ Superstar, see YouTube's "1999 Madison Scouts". Your jaw will drop and you'll get goose-bumps by its sheer power!

[katcampbell1]

Zero Mostels son Josh rocks as Pilate

[Bethie13]

I need to learn the dance to the instrumental

[MegaFunniman]

Must be Gibby from iCarly's grandpa....

[MegaFunniman]

ACK!!!!! FAT GUY WITH NO SHIRT!! MY EYES HATH BURNEDED OUT OF MINE EYE SOCKETETHS!!!

[daisymay170]

READY.AIM.FIRE YOUR BAGELS! ;p

[masterpiggy5]

I'm digging the paunch though

[masterpiggy5]

king herods not much of a singer

[girlygunit3]

Love that guy :)

[NoodlesNCabbage]

This video is creepy LOL

[allmikau]

John 12:6 (Judas is a thief)

Acts 1:18 (Judas didn't give the money back according to acts, he bought a field)

[SussiDiaz]

Best song ever!!!! :D

[terenas5]

Funniest part of the movie.

[RaidAurora]

Actually, he does perform a miracle in this play. He knows that Judas will betray me and he knew that Peter would deny him. Foresight counts in my opinion. He may be able to predict that Peter would deny him, but not that he would do it three times in a row. Very subtle, but there.

[OleWhatshisface]

am I the only one who is creeped out by this?

fave part: oh ho ho! I am waiting...

[allmikau]

The most erroneous retelling I have ever come across

[BenApplegate]

@allmikau How can you have an erroneous retelling of a myth? This is as good an interpretation as any.

[allmikau]

@BenApplegate The story told in this musical is centered on the fact that Jesus' divinity was a myth

Jesus never arises, performs miracles etc.

Judas is a hero, huh?

That's why this play is erroneous

If you think Jesus wasn't divine then you'd like this

Now if you think Jesus never even existed then you're ignorant

[BenApplegate]

@allmikau He might have existed, but the Gospels, which were written at least many decades after he lived, incorporate so many elements from other Middle Eastern and Greek myths that it's hard to take them seriously as history.
