Jesus Comedy on Good Friday

In celebration of Good Friday, I present to you a rediscovered clip from back in 2004.  It features Jesus performing hilarious stand up for a Comedy Special for sale on DVD.  Watch the video below and be crucified with LAUGHS!  If this doesn’t give you a Good Friday, I don’t know what will!

It was originally taped for an episode of “Gettin’ Later.”  Although the acting could’ve been better, the skit hits its mark and gave me a few chuckles when I watched it today for the first time in years.

Gettin’ Skinny Workout Video

Few things are funnier than a fat guy trying to teach women how to work out and lose weight.  That was the mindset when writing and shooting this lovely “Gettin’ Later” sketch back in 2004.  Enjoy my attempt at improving with my backup dancers/aerobicizers.  After this was finished, I completely hated it, but aired it anyways because it was too late to replace it.  Looking back, I get a chuckle out of it and only mildly hate it.  Enjoy.

What Would You Do For Camera Time?

Here’s one from the vault.  Two people who were on my “Gettin’ Later” staff would do anything to get on camera.  Since they wanted air time so badly, I concocted an outrageous (for campus television standards)  scenario where one would eat a hot dog off the others chest.   I figured the idea would be rejected by them, but I was wrong.   They were more than willing, and it made for a classic “Gettin’ Later” moment.  Now, that moment is posted for you to enjoy in all its poorly edited glory.

My Favorite Opening Credits

Since it’s Friday and I was too lazy to do some actual writing, I’ll give you a wonderful video instead.  It’s of my favorite opening credits.  Surprisingly, or probably not if you know me, my favorite credits are from my own college television show. It’s nonsensical, humorous, silly, and sexy at the same time.  Please enjoy, the “Gettin’ Later” season 3 credits.

Jesus vs. X

nativity-scene_webTo celebrate the holidays, here’s an old “Gettin’ Later” skit that was group-written along with Ben Mitchell and Chris Demeglio.  Originally aired in December of 2003,  this sketch  has Jesus visit the “Gettin’ Later” set to spread holiday cheer. Things take a dramatic turn, however, when Jesus’ rival X threatens to claim Christmas as his own.  Some of the references are dated, but overall it stands the test of time.  Enjoy.

Thanks to Ben Mitchell for finding this.

Jesus
Hello my children.

Ben & Ryan:
Hey! It’s Jesus everybody!

Ben
So JC, to what do we owe this pleasure?

Jesus
Well you know it’s the holidays and that means only one thing…it’s my birthday!

Ryan
Oh, Jesus, Jesus.

Jesus
Don’t take my name in vain, Goddammit.

(Jesus sings happy B-day)

X
Wait just a damn minute!

Jesus
Oh no! It’s X!

X
That’s right…the NEW meaning of Christmas…I mean X-mas.

Ben
Wait…what’s this all about, Jesus?

Jesus
He’s nothing…just ignore him.

X
Yes (evil laugh), that’s what I’m counting on you to do. I’m coming up through the underground. People writing my name on boxes, on the backs of photographs, and as an abbreviation on television! All the while Jesus prances around celebrating his birthday on X-mas like it’s his divine right.

Ben
Well, it kinda is.

X
Silence! I’m taking this holiday back for the people! Soon…

(Lights go out)

Ben
Wait….where’s X?

Jesus
Well, the Lord does work in mysterious ways! (wink)

(Group laugh)

Jesus
Well, I’m out like an Anglican Bishop!
(Jesus leaves)
