Sam Fox, 54th Ward Elders Quorum President

[scara787878]

I love videos like this! :) They are so clean and funny! I dont think I am this good haha

[epsilon0072]

lol, I don't believe in the mormon church anymore but I still found this to be funny as hell :)

[dogbadgereye]

hahahaha that was awesome.

[andyottito]

Sam Fox was my companion in the MTC :) This is hilarious!

[orlovna2]

Settle for Mission Prez. of Ecuador?

HECK! Dallin Oaks was relegated to being Mission President of the Lilliputians of The Philippine Islands, for Fuehrer's Sake!

And, iff'n that rascal could become an Apostle, after all that genuflecting and posturing, then so can you, Elder Quorum Prez!

And, don't bribe them with doughnuts, dude! Give them a gift that keeps on giving: give them Enzyte. (Or, at least give them a colon cleansing!) They will thank you for that, someday.

Heil, Hitler.

With God as my witness, my grandma, a full tithe payer, a lifetime member, recently revealed, to my surprise, that the HOME TEACHERS have not been to her house for about a full year.

She is over 80 years old. Lives in Utah. She was organist of the ward for over a decade.

Her husband, my grandfather (now deceased), saw action in World War II in the Navy.

Where are her Home Teachers?

On the Internet, laughing???

[HHeresy]

Hey! Troy's back! I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away Troy.

That's too bad about your Grandma. Frankly, it shouldn't matter what she has or hasn't done in the church or what her husband has or hasn't done. Her hometeachers should be doing their callings. Shame on them but at the same time, Church members are not perfect.

Yet the fact that you make it out the way you did is reflective of you. You hate the church and you're looking for more reasons for your grudge.

[troy30k]

Sheer ignorance...

bye HHeresy

[garrettanderson983]

who gives 2 shites what people believe?!?! i don't even believe in this church anymore! leave people alone about their beliefs! (i hate it when mormons do that to me about not believing in the church, but i'm not going to stoop down to the lowest common denomonater like you are)

just leave the mormons alone and let them watch their freakin video!!!

[troy30k]

The mere fact that you post shows you care, have some interest... else why would you post?

?!?

[ladyarndt]

@brooklynlbc i have mad respect for those who have and those who are still fighting the good fight. my little sis is in the army, and she'd get a kick out of this too.

if you're going to get easily offended or insulted by things - the world is a bad place for you!

go take some paxil and mellow out a bit!

[troy30k]

@ladyarndt: Your paxil needs taken away!

Apparently you are so happy you've lost a respect for reality.

[38empleh]

The loss of mortal life is sad and should be mourned and respected. The loss of the life in the eternities is much worse!

Sadly, home teaching is not taken seriously enough across the board!

For those that think this is an insult to the Holcaust victims, you miss a greater sadness!

[ladyarndt]

bahahaha! this never gets old!!! XD

@brooklynlbc... seriously!? take a chill pill my friend!

[brooklynlbc]

i am chill. take some ritalin and develop a sense of respect.

[byronthejedi]

This is so bad, but so funny.

[brooklynlbc]

What is wrong with you people? You'd think Mormons would be a little more senstive about a topic involving the extermination of six million people. I find this highly offensive. Jokes surrounding the Holocaust are never funny.

This kind of intensity should be reserved for things that merit it, not a joke.

Get some class.

This kind of made me sick.

[halcyon2017]

@brooklynlbc: One chooses to be offended. And, this is a funny video. Just because we are Mormon doesn't mean that we don't have a sense of humor. And of course the Holocaust is a sensitive subject, but I'm sure that those that died wouldn't want us to be depressed about it. Life goes on...you have to live for those that can't do so themselves.

[brooklynlbc]

I'm sure those that died wouldn't want you to be depressed about it either, but respectful, yes.

[Justinator73191]

soooooooooooo gooood

[weathermizark]

dont send this guy to the Abilene Texas Stake lol... we have bad home teaching numbers

[sukiyhtaky]

:) very very funny...thanks for the link...i'll pass it on

[kgapelu]

+10 :)

[n8blake]

This was hilarious.

[dumahaus]

What? the Sam....

[DucRiderBang]

that was awsome, great job guys, that has got to be the funniest thing i have seen in a long time

[heyman537]

What response would this guy have had if the home teaching numbers were 23 percent, like my quorum had a couple of months ago. :(

[Woolfdanza]

Unfortunately I saw the original movie, before watching this. The movie is just too dark for me to overlook and appreciate the dubbed commentary. Cute idea, i suppose.

[Kinley1978]

What ever that was awesome and well done.

[kissa248]

lighten up

[greenwatt2002]

That was really funny!

[Jaromellz]

Brilliant! Mesa 54th is the bomb! Club 54!

[mufcthow]

Kind of ran out of steam at the end, but the the opening salvo is phenomenal.

[arah4ever]

That was hilarious! Fantastic!

[thehappythinker]

Anyone who is offended by this needs to chill out. This is pretty dang funny.

[garrettanderson983]

were not offended by the idea of having a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. we just dont do it.

[troy30k]

really? nothing offensive in drinking wine?

[BerylLasko]

It was fetching hilarious! People are just to darn serious!

[HHeresy]

Calling Troy30k. Someone else liked it. You need to yell at them! (Even though you said you were going to leave a week ago.)

[sobadsoccer]

Absolute classic~ ignore the haters, they will live and die malevolently.

[jacobgotime]

I take absolute offense to this video. I served my mission in Ecuador, and it's an amazing place. (I'm kidding about taking offense...as I know this is all just a joke) Besides...I imagine it would be better to be a mission President in a place where the Gospel is growing at a rapid rate. Ecuador falls under this category...and England certainly does not. (No offense England RM's)

[meme19191919]

Hey evreybody this video is pure fun I'm in the LDS faith and its pure entertainment we trust our prophets completely and we don't see our leaders as Hitler. We strongly disagree on his decisions. It was made because of the funny tantrum he was throwing.

[troy30k]

You are out of touch.

[naraicks]

lol dont be stupid, do some research on the lds church.

[troy30k]

naraicks, would you care to present me with some lds quiz questions? Feel free!

LOL !

[naraicks]

What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

[troy30k]

Hmmm... Saw the movie for the first time the other day. You came to mind, naraicks! African or European? :^)

[naraicks]

lol awesome, bet you laughed.

[troy30k]

Yes! Yes I did! :^D

[drewwolfert]

You're a joke. Your ignorance makes you look like an idiot. Stop making comments.

[troy30k]

Some of the LDS posters here believe that this parody crosses the line. I side with those that do.

Try to focus, drewwolfert on the subject at hand. Where do you stand?

Is this in good humor or does the "parody" cross the line?

Are you LDS? If so, can you do you see your leaders as HITLERS?

Very inappropriate parody IMO. Unless of course LDS leaders are a lot worse than I ever imagined.

[troy30k]

Vastly outnumbered on this forum, I know.

[gzmkt]

No one should take offense at this PARODY.

It was chosen because there are about a dozen other parodies using the exact same clip, so it was low hanging fruit for somebody to use it to make a joke about home teaching reporting.

See this youtube video for an example from a year before:

Hitler Parody (2008 NBA Finals) R08zhw8IfNY

Or this one from a year before that:

Adolf Hitler - Vista Problems! ExeyrNZwzwQ

Even we can't laugh at ourselves, there's always Hitler. He has it coming.

[troy30k]

LOL

Your religious leaders deserve no more respect than basketball and computer trouble?

...next

PS The person at the butt end of the parody is not Hitler, it is the Elder's Quorum Presidents. Do they have it coming?

[dewsnupd]

absoulutey hilarious....sent it to every current and former Elder Quorum I've ever known....

[troy30k]

Great. I hear the sequel is showing God the Father nailing His Son to a cross for not doing his home teaching. HAH HAH HAH! The parody!! You know!

You guys are absolutely freaking hilarious!!!

[droundyCubby]

Hey, this isn't about Hitler, it could be any movie. it is about some very creative visuals. This is funny. The submitter isn't trying to make a statement about Hitler or the decimating Holocaust. He is spoofing the fact that women are just plain more diligent at getting their visiting teaching done than men their home teaching. Look at it as it is, don't read into it stuff that just plain isn't there.

[troy30k]

Yeah....nothing ! There is NOTHING, absolutely nothing in the clip about Adolph Hitler, is there, droundyCubby...

Why the fact that HITLER was chosen is pure coincidence! A chance, an unlikely event of time.

Get real!

[spinsta84]

Lol. Awesome.

[riomuse]

we are a peculiar people, aren't we? LOL... this is great. love the sense of humor of who came up with this one.

[Why27]

haha thats funny.

you guys need to chill. seriously, its funny.

thats that.

[troy30k]

I think all you who are humored by this are a bunch of sacrilegious insensitive sickos.

And I do have a sense of humor. An appropriate one. Hitler and the 6 million Jews he gassed is utterly inappropriate for an organization that strives toward Christian ideals.

Crap like this is completely classless.

Get a grip, 54th ward quorum President.

If this is your idea of humor, priesthood holders, I pity you.

[muddero7]

Yeah, Hitler was a schmuck. A huge loser schmuck. That's what makes this even more humorous.

My spouse serves in our EQ presidency and they feel like this when you brethren don't fulfill your assignments and then come to church all holier-than-thou and act like you're doing all you can to show your support of them.

If you want to talk classless, let's talk NOT doing your home teaching. Let's talk about the offense you are giving to God!

[muddero7]

I happen to be quite educated on WW2, but I suppose my education stops when it comes to bashers and those who look for reasons to insult and imbibe rudeness into their beings.

The Holocaust (by-the-way this is the CORRECT spelling) was a horrific and terrible time in history.

This, however, is a parady, a joke. Perhaps, with your infinite wisdom, you can find some of that in this and see it is a dig ON Hitler and about him. Take off your sunny glasses and look past the end of your nose.

[bws71]

As a devout card carrying high priest - I think this was hilarious.

[troy30k]

Which goes to show why Mitt Romney as a presidential candidate was not trusted by so many Americans.

"Devout card carrying high priest" -disturbing.

[pointeyo]

Oh please! You CAN be a "good" LDS and STILL have a sense of humor. Maybe a little bit more self-deprecating from the members would promote better relationships with others..

[phillchristensen]

As a Mormon I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. This inside jokes were of course over played, but somewhat accurate. I love that others can have fun with who they are without worrying what others may think. This was well done... Thanks for the laugh

[JohnnyPolitico]

While this doesn't comply with the charge to "avoid all litemindedness and evil speaking of the Lord's annointed", it does have it's own little sarcastic charm, doesn't it?. 

It appears that Troy30k and solo2070 are more acutely aware of the fact that this will come across flat to many nonmembers, and will be further misused by anti-Mormons who will claim that this perfectly describes their experience within the church.

So nauti88s, are you a member or former member?

[solo2070]

oh great, I am being represented by the Nazi's and Hitler. Pretty tasteless.

[davea0511]

Do you focus on statistics & not on people? If so then yes you are represented by Hitler in this spoof & should be offended.

If instead you're motivated by love then no this spoof does not represent you, in which case you should laugh at this as impossibly absurd & silly.

That's why it tickled my funny bone. Our stats weren't always great but we did our best and served willingly & loved the people we served. IMHO all EQ presidents should feel the same. They're the most selfless people I know.

[solo2070]

No, I do not focus on statistics. I have always had issue with people that do focus on them alone.  I didn't like it on my mission, and I don't like it now.

I can have a good laugh at myself & the church also. I am the first often times to crack a joke. But I feel that there are lines that are tasteless when it comes to humor. "It is important to have a good sense of humor, especially the sense part." President Packard said that. Home teaching is not like the holocaust in any way.

[Vi007x]

what movie is that from?

[Jackienelsonart]

That was a good laugh! My husband loved it.

[teomner82]

I guess a 53% average isn't looking too bad anymore...

[rsbirk]

troy30k... get a sense of humor!

[hawstom]

Humor is better than anger.

[anitakaykevin]

Excellent!!!

[troy30k]

Very inappropriate.

About on par as laughing at the funeral of a child who died in a car accident.

Disturbing.

[1MoNoMo]

Take a double dose of your Prozac,

troy30k, and lay down a spell. This too will pass...

[troy30k]

Why don't you take a double dose of an anti-psychotic medication, 1MoNoMo, so you can grasp the reality of Adolf Hitler.

[mesatyler]

Awesome

[bcrosland]

That is AWESOME!!!

[sphevegirl]

You are hilarious!  This reminds me...must do VT.

[lovinmyskyhighguy]

Oh, how this made me laugh ~ Pretty much made my day! Great work on the video. My fav line: "Or how to call a girl on the phone?" Ha!
