Eddie Izzard Circle (2002) on Popes

[posro1988]

soooo yeah...

[MrKingofhats]

Could I take a moment of your time please. I have a competition with a friend of mine to get the most views on our video's. I don't want to loose. Please would you click onto my profile and watch one. They might even make you laugh.

[CelestiaLily]

Wait a minute... The whole "Pope John Paul George Ringo" joke was pretty funny, but if you think about it a bit more...

The Beatles was the band who sang "Imagine," in which 1 line was clearly: "... & no RELIGION too."

... Wouldn't that mean that this Pope would be AGAINST religion in some weird way???

0_o

[HorizonandCo]

@CelestiaLily No he'll just think he's bigger than Jesus =) (said by a "good" catholic)

[piemanpie2424]

@CelestiaLily The Beatles did not sing "Imagine"

John Lennon did.

[themidgetnumbah1]

"Blasphemy...Blaspheyou...Blas­pheeveryone-in-the-room!"

[EarthDefenceInferno]

Pope Pius the 12th = Pope Gutless Bastard the 1st

[kroschfoenigin]

Wouldn't Pope John Paul George Ringo have been soooo much better than that old creep Ratzinger?? And yes, I do feel bad for the alter boy...

[andersfranghettot]

Am I the only one who feels bad for alter boy?

[EarthDefenceInferno]

Hitler = Genocidal Fuckhead

[ukgreaterlondon]

@EarthDefenceInferno

and he comes from a christian nation , in the new testament they tell the jews to believe in jesus christ even then no one should convert to any other religion .

[Morgana0x]

There's no one like Eddie, he's unique.

[cold197]

i'd watch Popeman! XD

[THEotakuanimegirl]

Soo funny! :D

[Hakkai87]

NOBODY expects the Spanish Casual Chat!

[Ptolemaya]

@Hakkai87 :D))))))))))))))))))))))

[Tufty89]

'Could be a whole series........ with a lot of complaints :) ' amazing!

[jacksawild]

Something about the Queen saying "dogs bollocks" makes me laugh. I hope it isn't treason.

[vickidoney]

Eddie is lovely funny. God didn't make up religion. Be there great inspired books by the spirit of. But. My goodness fear rage and hatred. Spewing. What are theses voices protecting.  The fallen fearful pitiful self. Thank you Eddie. Blasphameee. On. Lol

[instereovideos]

"That outfit, the Queen, is the dog's bollocks."

[Heavylight17]

29 people got hit in the face with the body of christ.

[cold197]

@Heavylight17 lol XD

[TheHaiiiJuan]

Rubbish.

[rachelisinsane]

Don't you just hate how every video on youtube has some christianity argument on it??? even the ones that dont mention religion, some smeghead decides that it is immoral and goes against christianity and that they, as the only good, perfect, bible-bashing self righteous human alive must start whinging at the rest of us lowly people for having a sense of humour!!!! JUST LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!

[rachelisinsane]

the world would be so much of a better place without religion, think of all the wars and genocides that would never have have happened!!! and I hate making comments like this, because then I am the smeghead!! JUST LET IT GO!!

[Kazutoification]

@rachelisinsane On the other hand, don't forget that religion is a beacon of hope for several people who just want 'someone' to lean on when someone isn't there. I'm not necessarily arguing against you or 100% agreeing with you, but don't forget about the other side of the story, the other people.

[farmyardflavours]

HYSTERICAL !!!!!

[Sketto8]

@tantawi1992 Defense of the faith is not defined by ignoring real problems. A strong faith is one in which you use both your mind and your heart while living. You keep your eyes open and you take responsibility for your own sins. The church has fallen short of that. To be honest and admit it is neither an attack on Catholicism, nor a reason to call someone a fuckhead. Or perhaps that's what you mean by defending the faith - calling people names.

[sketto]

@tantawi1992 It's my church too, friend. And they can run a millions shelters and save countless starving babies - but charity in other areas doesn't cover up immoral conspiracy and coverups elsewhere. The Church is responsible for all of its actions - the good and the bad. But everytime someone wants some truth and accountability for the bad, someone like you starts crying about all the good it does. That's not moral accountability as is taught in the sacraments - that's dodging.

[sketto]

@tantawi1992 I know. Usually Catholic bashing is just depressing when they mention the facts about priests raping children, homicide in the name of god, repression of the status of women and all that. But he makes it all seem funny!

[MrKite1996]

i saw god standing there says pope John, Paul, George, Ringo

[a7xdude87]

LOL "Blasphemyyyyyy, blas for youuuuuuuuuu". I love a comedian that can make me laugh out loud, even when nobody's around.

[coolHalo2Glitches]

Pope Pius XII was supposed to castigate Hitler for being a "genocidal fuckhead"....with bunny rabbit ears (\_/)

[Poppy0109]

Jesus discs! x-D

[calisuni]

Far... too... inquisitive

[Stonegolem42]

@tantawi1992 Surely you's trollin'.

[Copper4head]

Bunny ears!

[DontSigh]

Blasphemy! And blaspheyou! Blasphereveryone...

[Copper4head]

@DontSigh

LOL Bunny ears, Pica ears, cutsie chibi bunny = Pica

[irishgalsal]

Just the dog's bollocks!

[dantheman931]

It's a good thing this didn't come out a few years later. I'm a little scared to think where he would have gone with Altar Boy otherwise...

[Copper4head]

@dantheman931

Religions aren't religions, really, but Philosophies instead? I'm confused. Is there any support for this theory / ideology?

[dantheman931]

@Copper4head Huh?

[Copper4head]

@dantheman931

Eddie Izzard was saying that religions are not religions, in actuallity, but in fact Philosophies with some good ideas & some f**kin' weird ones & I was just commenting on that.

[EbsNhexz]

@Copper4head Well the idea of a `creator` in itself is a good thing to speculate on, as well as moral codes of behaviour. But in a `religion` the image of a creator and the rules are permanent and inflexible, but when you look at them as philosophies you can evaluate what's good and bad without any pressure. I'm not a fan of the Church and have no clear idea/belief of God, but I agree with a lot of what Jesus said regarding morality and like the linguistic brilliance and imagery of the Bible.

[Copper4head]

@EbsNhexz

That is a very interesting answer. Merci beaucoup pour cette réponse stimulante!

[Shiftshock]

@Copper4head The problem with terms like Religion and Philosophy is that there's a lot of overlap - however, yes, there are many people that agree with what he says here. Talk to any atheist. :)

[countdumas]

@Shiftshock Michael Tsarion is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Dr. Bill Deagle, Leo Zagami, Jordan Maxwell and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well.

[SouthernPoint52]

he is the dogs bollocks

[KatieeeVol1234]

I was sitting in history class today & thinking :"I wish Eddie was my teacher!!"

[alevsener2]

sir, you are awesome!

i wish i could watch him live someday but i never get the chance....

[greatsayain]

that outfit, The Queen, is the dog's bollocks. do you call the queen "the queen" when your talking to her?

[trightmer89]

Holy water and Jesus disks? LMAO!!!

[ElvisBirdie1]

Me: Mum i'm going out to kill the 23 people who disliked this video

Mum: thats nice honey, what are you watching?

Me: Eddie Izzard

Mum: IM COMING TOO!

[raskalnikov187]

Pope gutless bastard the third. Now THAT should go into the history books!

[z3r0t0l3r4ns]

The whole 3 religions 1 city bit is good, but it's funnier, in a dark sort of way, when you realize it's actually 3 major sects of the same religion, in one city killing each other over how they worship the same imaginary friend. If only we could teach them to do it without killing the rest of us.

[z3r0t0l3r4ns]

Jesus Discs...

Also, the dog's testicles must be very good, with all the time he spends licking them

[z3r0t0l3r4ns]

Jesus Discs...

[doomrocker666]

Dog's bollocks lol

[Ms14787]

''He did apologize for the Spanish Inquisition though. Said it was far too inquistive. I was supposed to be the Spanish Chat'':DDDDDD Brilliance!

[IIShenaniganII]

Could be a good series....with a lot of complaints!!

[repoman1980]

It's a pity this is the last genuinely funny thing Eddie has done.

Sexie and Stripped were awful.

Come on Eddie, rediscover your mojo!

[rexana]

Pope Pius V in 3D!

"The body of Christ..."

Arrgh he hit me in the face with the body of Christ!

[phemyda94]

"with a lot of complaints..."

lmao

[DeadxBlackxWinter]

Popeman, Altarboy, healing sinners with jesus disks.....0_0

[kamatej]

circle is my favourite, no matter how mind-blowingly good dress to kill was. Sadly Stripped was a bit of a disappointment... Seemed both not "fresh" or "on the spot" and a bit unreahersed. Either way, he is the best. I just hope he keeps doing his thing, whatever that might turn out to be.

[acaspers]

lol popeman and altarboy. love it

[cerzule]

Nobody expects the Spanish Casual Chat. (lol)

[cerzule]

@cerzule - bollocks, someone already beat me to that comment. Oh well, I love the way this man's mind works!

[PaleMoonbeamEyes]

Lol brilliant... no longer shall I call them popes

[LarryBogary]

im fairly happy lol, Happy as larry?

[sosome57]

I love it when he dishes religion! Brilliant! James Mason as God!

[bagel4281]

"with funny rabbit ears"

[beckkah]

I was learning briefly in history about Pope Gutless Basterd the 1st...really was...Popeman before him was good though =]

[HisForever21706]

"Where as Protestants don't have anything to keep the flies away besides a gun!"

LOL!

[0Edward0Cullen0]

Pope Pious the 4th IN 3D!!

[phemyda94]

"Quick, Altarboy, there are sinners who need chastizing! ... put those candles out"

[grimordwow]

Popeman and Altar-boy hahahaha

[Leshelou112]

popeman and alterboy!

with.. holy water and... jesus discs!

lol

[TheaVetaria]

lol! the "spanish casual chat"

[snorlax42]

"It'd make a great series...with a lot of complaints."

[Tidde]

"It was far too inquisitive! It should have been the Spanish casual chat!"

[StrangerMcDanger]

Pope Pias the fourth: This time he's pissed off!

[somewayout]

...and he was renamed Pope Shit For Brains the 9th.

(that part isn't in this bit, i know....but its still funny as hell.)

[hacelepues]

Pius V: in 3-D!

[maskedracoon2]

Two words: Battle Pope.

[1234cm1]

Alter Boy!!!!!!!...quick put out those candles

LOL

[kestasjk]

2:43

[joshlgrant]

Blasphemy! Blas-for-you! Blas-for everyone in the room xD

[jedeye76]

dunno, but it is slightly ironic that a grammerking has no sense of punctuation. ;)

[GrammarKing]

Does anyone get the impression that he just makes half of this up as he's going along?

[jmthetank]

Yeah, it seems as though he's simply got his basic outline, and just freestyles everything else.

[Pheonix7777777]

Wherein lies Eddies genious, He is able to make everything on stage seem as if he just figured it out. Everything is fresh when he does it.

Compare it to for example Pablo Fransisco, who is hillarious the first time you see him, but he gets really old once you realize he just does the same 3 jokes over and over.

[HockeyHottie23]

@Pheonix7777777 totally agree with u!!!

eddie's my absolute fav and fransisco bothers the shit out of me

i can only take his voice for so long

[leotveter]

@Pheonix7777777, he's not the genious:) One of many. He didn't write most of this:-/ But hella good yes he is

[blingblingshineshine]

@Pheonix7777777 he does just figure it out.He has dyslexia so he doesn't really script for these things

[EbsNhexz]

@jmthetank He isn't afraid to test out new stuff as-well, and if it doesn't work as well as he hopes he makes a joke to the audience about the fact it didn't work.(I know your comment is old)

[dreamsquare123]

@GrammarKing he generally doesn't follow a script because he's dyslexic

[axil56]

pope gutless barstard I... or bastard

[Ninjamonkey767]

Could be a whole series... with a lot of complaints

[bachterman]

pope john paul george ringo?

[Setoke]

the beatles :p

[BalrogRocksDude]

People he's just a transvestite he is straight.

[icecat131]

He must have been raised Catholic, because he sure knows alot!~

[loopy620]

pope innocent III had children (learned it in public school) XD

[MrRagman2009]

also 4 Popes died having sex

1] Pope Leo VII (936-9) died of a heart attack while having sex.

2] Pope John VII (955-64) was bludgeoned to death by the cuckolded husband of the woman he was having sex with at the time.

3] Pope John XIII (965-72) was also murdered by an irate husband during the act.

4] Pope Paul II (1467-71) allegedly died while being sodomized by a page boy.

[jmthetank]

Partay!!

[SHMEXIEDRAGONGRRRL]

You just made my evening telling me that. Thank you. Thank you, very much indeed. XD

[jgonnerman85]

My, they went through Johns quickly! #7 dies in 964, and #13 ascends in 965! I think you'll find that John VII lived rather earlier.

[ceralgirl]

Nobody expects the Spanish casual chat.

[paddymourinho]

jesus discs....

[rexana]

Pope Pius V, in 3D! The Body of Christ!

OMG he hit me in the face with the Body of Christ! xD

[misterkami2]

hmmm.. I didn't expect that last part..

[Dmactyjc133]

hes wearing women clothes making fun of things yet he is so funny

[Ownaweasel]

I think Eddie Izzard would be the world's greatest History teacher.

He explains things a Hell of a lot better than anyone explained them to me in High School. XD

[critchlowfchc]

hed probably go off the point onto sumthing completely different and waste the lesson the go "oh shit, see you next lesson" lol

[1991Historybuff]

thats what my history teacher did

[DeadxBlackxWinter]

@Ownaweasel

his style is rambling, no one would meet the educational deadlines...but I did pass my history final thanks to him xD

[keeztea]

@Ownaweasel You are SO right about that! I despised history when I was in school because it was so boring. Eddie Izzard explains it in such a hilarious fashion. I feel a little smarter after watching his stand-up. I wish Eddie was my history teacher!

[Hakkai87]

@Ownaweasel What's amazing is he's completely accurate! He researches this stuff!

[meteosurreal]

@Ownaweasel Wow, weird. And fascinating.

[sshuerger]

@Ownaweasel And personally he makes it easier to explain to others! A lot easier to remember.

[PinakuratYlanan]

Popeman and Altarboy lmao wtf xDDD

I'm RC and I'm enjoying this much. Blasphemeeeeeeee, Blaspheyouuuuuu

[safcdude]

He aint gay.

Drag queens have that covered see...

He's actually a male tomboy/lesbian.

[John27346]

It's ok that he's gay or bisexual. What's important is that he's funny

[MissSmiffable]

But he's neither. He's straight.

[John27346]

It's not important that he is gay or straight. You should be more tolerant of people's sexuality.

[MissSmiffable]

I never said I had a problem with his sexuality in any way at all. I was just saying he was neither gay nor bisexual. I would find him just as funny no matter what he was. You shouldn't jump to conclusions on other people's tolerance.

[John27346]

So you have no problem that he's gay? That's ok so.

[MissSmiffable]

If he were gay the only problem I would have would be jealousy and depression that he was even more unavailable! I would love Eddie Izzard no matter what his sexuality but he is straight as he has pointed out in many interviews.

[John27346]

Oh, I see. He's a closet homosexual.

[Roxanne1456]

he isn't gay he is a transvestite but he likes girls, not guys

[defragen1]

yea I think its probably because the gay part..

[defragen1]

he looks gay

[TheHellBound666]

could be because he's gay..just a thought.

[Nightlightknight]

Holy Water Popeman!

[Succubus342]

Fantastic shoes!

[usedpumpkin]

"She'll be happy as Larry.. However happy he is.." XD

[tygr49]

love those pants.

[timelyshadow]

he is brilliant.

[HattieLouise]

could be a whole series... with a lot of complaints..

[mandaloin]

you know I find I don't even laugh at his jokes much or even understand them but f

for some reason I feel the need to listen to him...

[daftdader45678]

jesus disks LOL

[camorramerda]

SPANISH CASUAL CHAT! FANTASTIC!!!!

With jokes like that he would have been just banned in Italy. =D

[TrunksBigSis]

I don't believe in religion. It's all philosophies with some great ideas, and then a couple of fuckin weird ones....

[diogomor]

Blasphemy and Blaspheyou! Love it!

[CommanderHoskins]

Blaspheverybody in the roooooom!

[TheZiah1]

[LadyLuria]

"You sure shot them outta the sky!"

[BringerOfD]

[thomaseiler]

...with a lot of complaints....

[randomomen]

the funny thing is at 1.19 theres a comic book series called "battle pope" and the comics catchphrase is "if hes not serving mass hes kicking ass" haha

[BringerOfD]

lol...awesome, how the over enthusiastic christians keep trying to convert your kids

[God52495]

Oh i forgot!

"Well, he wimped out and is now renamed as Pope Gutless Bastard I

[God52495]

"...with Holy Water and ..um Jesus discs!

[stu382stu382]

Was in Church t'other day and at one point when I was crossing myself, a fly flew near me and I had to swat it away. Couldn't help but laugh... :-D

"could be a whole series....with a lot of complaints" is probably my favourite Eddie line.

[poirot89]

Fabulous!

[poirot89]

"She should be happy as Larry, however happy he is..."

[poirot89]

Well then, it all makes sense now.

[gallowglarse]

Quite so. Well, carry on.

[emogurl33]

pope-mobile!!!!

[shelly39]

how i wish i was clever enough to understand his topics

[Kobydg]

is he gay

[Vortex289]

He's a transvestite. But he likes women.

[Ohnoezhumenz]

He's married with a woman, so I don't think he's gay.

[Tweek2050]

Uh, He's not married. Source On that? But no he isn't gay. He's a "male lesbian" as he called it.

[PinkoPapist89]

Is this in the US?

[sahharmalta]

Indeed, its new york, I've heard him saying so in another clip.

[drumsmasher1]

haha.......

blasphome!

blashphoyou!

blashphoreverybodyintheroom!

[shadow6543]

[MaxiBonata]

Anybody is better than Dane Cook...except 99% of female comedians, ugh.

[Ahab2008]

Female comedians? No such concept.

[MaxiBonata]

Haha, true that

[timman268]

Pope Pias the first,
