    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • 26 people put socks in toasters.

  • Although St. Paul may sound like an arrogant bastard sometimes... I praise him for being the first to say the Mosaic Law was bullshit!

    Fundamentalists Christians are as clueless as they can be today... if it wasn't for St. Paul they'd be stoning their neighbours for working on saturday!

  • I Corinthians 7:7 - "For I would that all men were even as I myself".

    Isn't that a guy who you'd want to go FUCK OFF?

  • see what happens when we take the bible out of society? Nothing but people stuffing socks in toasters, putting jam on magnets, putting their grannies in bags, and, unholiest of all, leaning on tuesdays. will you never repent, secularists?

  • Dear Paul brackets saint apparently, "Fuck off!!!'

  • funniest man alive. I adore him

  • Ah crap *scrapes jam of magnet*

  • Great, today I had been at a funeral, and as soon as the priest said: "Saint Paul to the Corinthians...", I recalled this and I had to hold my breath for an hour or I would have started laughing out loud in the middle of the service. Thanks, Eddie: you made a better person of me. :D

  • Has such a great knowledge of history and is a funney as, love every thing i have ever seen.

  • oh no, i leaned over twice yesterday.

  • "Always treat your neighbor like someone who lives near to you"

  • Shit, can someone help me get my sock out of the toaster?

  • Corinth ..... lol

  • Love and kisses.

  • I think there's a new facebook page *Eddie Izzard Fans* which I posted this bit on. Hadn't seen this page until recently and I'm pretty up on Ed stuff.

    I've just decided that *Definite Article* is my favorite since most of my fav bits are on it. Luv all his stuff tho.

  • Always treat your neighbour like someone who lives near to you

    Great stuff

  • Also a great actor as proven on "The Riches" and "The U.S. of Tara"

  • He looks remarkably like Julian Clary.

  • But it's saint apparently-lol. Too funny.

  • 23 people put a sock in a toaster

  • ...I shouldn't find him as funny as I do, but he's just too funny XD

  • What was the one after "Never throw your granny in a bag."? Was it "Never suckle the jizz out of a vampire?"

  • @Wackyfox

    Yes. Yes it was.

  • @Wackyfox Juice...never suckle juice out of a vampire. Although I wouldn't recommend suckling jizz either.

  • @Wackyfox Never suck all the juice out of a vampire.

  • @AngellusLovegood Or the juice out of a tractor :P

  • ROFLMFAO

  • 2:26 is the best :D

  • "never put socks in a toaster.. never put jam on a magnet.. never throw your granny in a bag.." comedic legend X3

    FUCK OFF JUST FU- WHO ARE YOU! you arrogant bastard to send a letter to an entire city!

    gotta love eddie izzard

  • God, he's brilliant! Absolutely my favorite comedian and has been for YEARS! Thanks for sharing this!

  • I absolutely love this part. And we just started studying it in school, so like a year later, i actually understand the context of the history in this show.

    EDD-IE! EDD-IE!

    "Writing a letter to an entire city?! You arrogant BAstard!"

  • @Zeila68 Haha, that happened with me and the whole WWII and Napoleon thing in Dress to Kill.

  • I absolutely love this part. And we just started studying it in school, so like a year later, i actually understand the context of the history in this show.

    EDD-IE! EDD-IE!

    "Writing a letter to an entire city?! You arrogant BAstard!"

  • ... You daft git! - Love & kisses the Corinthians ...

    Hahahaha

  • "You arrogant bastard, to send a letter to an entire city!"

  • omg this is awesome...i love eddie....hes so funny. there is nothing sexier than a man with a british accent.....

  • bahahaha.. he kills me with this part xD

    anyone can help me: what is he saying in 1:52-2:02? I understand it here just partly..

    thank you in advance! :)

  • "Whose idea was it to be a pen pal with St Paul anyway? He was supposed to stop doing it at fifteen, it's been years."

  • thank youuu! :)

    I love this british accent but it makes me 'eeeeer what?' sometimes...

  • @slabywielblad

    It's our language. You should learn to speak it properly, then you wouldn't go "eeeeeer what?" would you?

  • @sajica58 first of all I didn't mean to be offensive cause in my opinion british is absolutely great (otherwise why would I be here?) but you clearly didn't get it. and I hope you wise-ass can speak two other languages like me.

    cheers

  • @slabywielblad

    "Who's idea was it to become pen pals with St. Paul? We've gotten bum-*beeped* from it - usually people are about 15 when they stop doing it......"

    :D

  • thank you all!

  • @slabywielblad:

    That bit at 1:52-2:02 is actually:

    "Whose idea was it to be a pen pal with St. Paul anyway? That fucking backfired didn't it? You're supposed to stop doing it at about 15 he's been going on for yeeears..."

    Just had to be picky, haha.

  • "as you can tell from my preable, this is going to be quite a long letter..." XD

  • "Never suck all the juice out of a vampire". Brilliant !

  • classic!!

  • dear paul... bracket saint appearently

    FUCK OFF just FU who are you! why do you keep sending us letters?

  • honestly - does it get any better that this?!?!?!?! he is incredibly gifted...

  • @ellipsis000

    No. It doesn't.

  • Paul telling women they shouldn't braid their hair was pretty ridiculous- especially in the pre-elastic era. Trying to prove you're a special pal of god by telling other people not to do things is one of religion's oldest traditions. (And remember, god hates shrimp!)

  • Fantastic! I love Definite Article :3

  • "Never put a sock in a toaster" xD

    Cracks me up every time.

  • The Corinthians............... Corinth.

  • always treat your neighbor as someone who lives near to you...

    never lean over on a tuesday

    never put your granny in a bag.

    life lessons. <3 hahahahah

  • tusday the 28th.....of..somthing. hehe hilarious

  • "Paul (Saint)... B.A. Honors"

  • who is alistar cook?

  • He hosted Masterpiece Theatre.

  • He wrote a weekly 'Letter from America' on BBC Radio 4 for decades

  • Political Journalist famous for writing letters 'from America' which he read them out on British radio & hence shed light on American current affairs.

  • always treat your neighbor like someone who lives near you...

  • the corinthians, Corinth, HELLAS.

  • I just realized the Corinthians are those people. You have the Corinthian, Ionian and some other columns.

  • Doric is the third one :)

  • Thanks I knew it was something like that. For some reason I always think about Mycenea(know they fit in somewhere). I think Doric would be easier to remember if it was Dorinian.

  • "Dorian" is another word for it, that's where the male name also comes from.

  • Aeolian is another

  • Paul Bracket Saint

  • Comment removed

  • I am American and wasn't raised with any real religion. I was baptized and had my communion, but that was it. Maybe I am the exception in America.

  • well thanks for that.

  • hehe

  • No. You're more the rule rather than the exception. People have tradition more than they have religion.

  • In my own family, mother and 1 of my Uncles is not religious. My other 8 Uncles and 1 Aunt on my mother's side are some sort of Christian and you know I could never show them this stuff.

  • I know what you mean, but it is like even in my own family most of them are very Christian.

  • I love this man!

  • It's Tuesday, better not lean over...

  • dont suck all the juice out of a vampires!! brilliant. :) :)

  • "Never put a sock in a toaster"=LOL!

  • i saw eddie on baker street the other day - i stood about two feet from him!!!!!!

    so so so cool

  • AH i'm so jealous ^.^ i bet he's constantly saying sarcestic random things hehe

  • lol you arragant BARSTARD! to send a letter to an entire city .......... just FUCK OFF!

  • I love the way he says Fuck Off, it is sooooooooooooo funny.

  • lol, my friend dragged me to her church the other day, and when the priest mentioned St Paul's letters I almost burst out laughing

    I got a lot of stares because of the look on my face while trying not to laugh....

  • Actually I must say that having been forced to catholic church from child to teenager we used to get hysterical fits of laughter about all that nonsense. My friends and I were twisted with mirth about it and we could hardly ever contain it till we got out of the church on Sundays. Where did we go ? to an Irish Pub for a Pint. The Irish being the greatest hypocrites on earth. ( Well, they were when I lived there)

  • no one can say "fuck off" as good as this man!

  • @DanielGillberg As well as "you daft git !".

  • @DanielGillberg As WELL.

    Now tell me to fuck off, 'cause I hate correcting people!

  • @DanielGillberg absolutely agree!

  • The first time I saw Eddie Izzard, I was preparing to interpret a section from this show into Sign Language for my Deaf students (they were taking an intro to Drama class). Eddie's rapid-fire speech, the British accent - I thought, what is he saying!?! But he was highly recommended by the Drama teacher, so I thought, I'll give him a second chance. I rewound the taped and watched from beginning to end, and when he got to this bit about the Corinthians, I was hooked! He's brilliant (& yummy) :-)

  • When I was a little kid I was dragged to church every Sunday and when I heard the priest reading these extracts from Paul´s letters I didnt understand what " Corinthians" were. I thought he meant Currants !! And I could never fathom why Paul would be writing a letter to Raisins !!!

  • JAM!!!

  • LMAO

    Eddie ROCKS :D

  • haha, yes eddie is obsessed with jam

  • you daft git!

    LMAO

  • Eddie love the word "jam" dsnt he? Best comedian ever this guy!

  • He is a transvestite, so its a guy:)

    aaaand a fuckin' genius!

    <3

  • so you cant tell a guy from a chick?

  • so funny i almost cried

  • Im a christian and i find it INCREDIBLY FUNNY :D LOL

  • Fantastic ! Now reading the bible make sense. You should do a series on all the chapters or an idiot guide to the bible like those idiot guide to everything. Anyway carry on I really enjoy your humour.

  • Dear Paul [saint apperanetly,

    FUCK OFF! Just fu- WHO ARE YOU?? Whydo you keep sending us letters?? You arogant bastard to send a letter to an entire city! Just fuck off!!

    Never put a sock in a toaster?? Whats that all about??

    LOL Eddie is the man!! He rules!

  • He's very funny, but it must be a bit of a prison having to be glib, all the time, about everything.

  • It's just an act -- he's not glib about everything! If you've seen different shows he's done, a number of bits are actually based on something quite sincere.

  • could someone explain to me what exactly backfired? cause I can't make out what he's saying there...

  • He said whose idea was it to be a pen pal with st paul anyway.

  • "You daft git! Love and kisses, the Corinthians"

  • I don't think he was trying to be factual. Therein lies the humor. I also appreciate Paul ("saint, apparently" lol) and all of his letters and have read each many times. I think it's supposed to be 'understood' that Paul didn't say anything silly about sox & he was trying to draw attention to the fact that Paul wrote letters addressed to cities/towns.  Most Christians understand that he was addressing certain churches (not just the whole town), &that makes it funny. He thinks outside the box

  • Whats with yu people He agrees with yu and yu Still pester the shit out of him back off will ya

  • First: Learn some punctuation.

    Second: It's YOU, fucking dumb ass.

    Third: Learn some grammar, you can't just capitalize words willy nilly.

  • someone is either an english major or woke up on the wrong side of the bed

  • You honestly think that you have to type like a retard if you aren't an English major?

  • yes

  • idk, willy nilly capitalized words make the world go 'round. ;-)

  • Well said , do some people have no sense of humour?

  • // Sorry to be factual but this was a swipe at saint Paul, who never actually said "I am saint Paul" (or anything about socks). //

    Yes, so true.

    Paul reserved his comments for important matters like hair length, women speaking in church, and men who sleep with their mother. Nasty, eh? The mother bit ... not the other stuff.

    Scholars question II Corinthians as being Pauline in origin, and we 'know' there was a letter before I Corinthians that was lost.

    But, I digress... Eddie RULES. ; )

  • I'm here wondering what everybody's problem with my comment was? I have -2 and nobody was nice enough to tell me what the problem was- and rationalmuscle said essentially the same thing as me and everybody's fine (and I agree with you, too btw)... anybody care to elaborate?

  • I was not-so-subtly slamming on Paul for having issues with women and long hair. Just a joke.

  • He's UNBELIEVABLE,I'm in stiches..

    The stuff he comes up with,impossible =D

  • br1ll1ant just br1ll1ant

  • "dear paul saint (apperantly) just fuk off" that bit jus made me giggle n the rest that followed was good :D

  • at around 2:00 you can see the word "hobgoblin" in the background - what book is that?

  • I've read somewhere that he was dislexic. Anyway - what is it with Eddie and jam?

  • Eddie Izzard is like one of those freaks back in school who never opened a book but always still seemed to know everything. He's like a bottomless hole of knowledge with a histerical twist.

  • just put in eddie izzard: Elephants n' skiing (4/9); there you will find all of the definite article bits in longer clips in the related videos box.

  • does anyone know where I can find the next bit of that, with the elephants? We translated a passage about that in Latin last week and my prof wants to see it.

  • You know, I always wondered how Paul got any letters back, being constantly on the road and all.

  • "Dear Paul,

    When you addressed your last letter to "The Hebrews", did that mean just us in Cappadocia or all of us? We're just going to forward your letter to the Roman ghetto and pretend it never happened, okay?

    Sincerely

    Joshua bar Ehud

    Simon bar Malachi

    David bar Judas

    etc."

    "

  • ...always treat your neighbor like someone who lives near to you...

  • we were watching a video in Religions last week and they mentioned St Paul- this was all I could think of. That always happens in religions and history- Eddie takes over.

  • This entire tit-tat heap of comments is a comedy in itself. Go ahead read em all.

  • Can't you just enjoy good comedy, coacaz?

  • Actually, I love Eddie Izzard!

    Can't you be more judgemental?

    Anyway, have a great day..and don't put a sock in a toaster.;)

  • If you're gonna proselytize us to your particular mythology then yes we're gonna be judgemental.

  • SAINT PAUL SAID:

    "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (...) And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

    1 Corinthians 13

  • You mean he didn't say "Never put a sock in a toaster?" :(

  • AND I LOVE EDDIE IZZARD! I'm just telling you so you don't judge me.

  • Are you saying I CAN'T put a sock in a toaster and claim it's holy?

  • are you insinuating my sock's arnt holy...?

    i infact know they are sir...take it back...

  • That depends entirely on the translation of the Bible you read, actually. Most of them are quite different and if you read closely, not nearly as happy. No idea why people read this at their weddings.
