Yeah. That KKK guy was suprisingly Charasmatic. I'd sure join If begged.
And Safran just panned Bhuddism because he got beaten by those Zen Bhuddists.

I actually wasn't so big on the Catholic segment... the priest came across like the world's biggest asshole to me. Also, Segment #3 just seemed like a plug for the Music Jambouree DVD. Still, the KKK bit was hilarious. "I have blonde hair and blue eyes... I mean, I'm whiter than Hitler! If he went to school with me, I'd be the one beating HIM up for being a wog!" Wasn't the door-to-door atheist segment supposed to air in episode 3, though?

Nope, but did anyone happen to catch the code word for Friday night's All Time Greatest Simpsons? They aired Mountain Of Madness, but I missed it...

John Saffron vs God (episode 4).
Wow. This episode has managed to both disturb me and send me into violent paroxyms of laughter. The disturbing part? The goat throat slashing and testicle eating bit. Irk. Oh, and getting shot at and stoned. All part of the job. The laughter bit? "Bowling for Mallenstein". First up, it was nice to see a Jewish gun nut who upheld the Jewish world domination theory. 55 guns? Sure. However, the real fun kicked in when John admitted that his show was mostly watched by 'left-wing pinkos', and so adjusted his interview accodringly. What follows is the most hilarious Michael Moore parody I've ever seen (well, alright, the ONLY Michael Moore parody I've ever seen), except the humour is multiplied one hundred fold. And Bambi's mother? Totally priceless. The bit at the end was a pleasent, if unspectacular, epilogue. Qibla!
Oh yes, and one more thing...
"You're either a latter day saint... or a latter day ain't."

Extreme Mormons was hilarious - I can't believe those people actually thought it was a real trailer and started commenting on it. The voodoo bit was just a plain bad idea - after all, they did get that stone thrown at them & all. The bit where that guy squeezed the goat testacles & the stuff came out of it was just fucking disgusting. They definately shouldn't have included the goat slaughter bit - I spent most of that scene looking away. Still, you gotta hand it to Safran. He went through a LOT to make this series. As for Bowling For Mermelstein - pretty funny. It was more of a dig at political issues rather than religious issues, but still made me laugh. As did the Qibla bit at the end. Oh, and by the way - I've looked up next week's description on Foxtel Digital's TV guide, and it appears that the door-to-door athiest segment is coming up on Monday. Hurrah! Also, Merrick & Rosso Unplanned returns tonight. HURRAH!

And in the credits it said copyright 2003. So maybe it was filmed before the political crisis. I watched the goat bit with me Grandmamee. She likes Safran, and south park I tried to shield her eyes and said "Grandma, dont look!" But she just said "Oh, I've seen worse things than that in my life"

So, The Chaser Decides, eh? Not bad, but for me it had more 'oh ho ho, that's clever' bits than genuine laugh-out-loud moments. Still, I'll definitely be watching next week.

Did anyone see "Happy Tree Friends and Friends" on SBS last night as part of SBS' Cult animation initiative? They played 2 Happy Tree Friends Eps and 2 other independant animation shorts in at 10:50pm, and they are continuing it every thursday! Yay!

John Saffron vs God (episode 5) Heh heh heh... that priest was a nice bloke. Plus, the Mafia had previously blown up his Church because he was trying to lure young people away from organised crime. He's hardcore. This made the scene with John's 'confession' even more excrutiating to watch. I couldn't look at the screen. Oh my. Luckily, I was giggling a lot too. Hinduism's full of crazies? Cool! 'I was wondering how he was going to trick people into thinking he'd stuck the needle in my cheek... then I realised he wasn't going to.' And all that Dalai Llama 'bashing' (well, just pointing things out, really), was amusing as hell. Papal power! Oh yes... huzzah for door-to-door atheism! Realised at last!

Wow, they actually did 4 segments in this episode... The first segment with the priest was even embarrasing to watch as a viewer, despite the fact that I was laughing my ass off the entire way through. You gotta hand it to the priest, though - he took it amazingly well. The Dalai Llama bit wasn't as funny as it could have been, but it was still interesting. Man, the Pope has a bad reputation. Then again, I would've got most of the questions wrong myself, too. Hinduism had some funny moments, particularly when he got the needle stuck through his cheek - despite the fact it made me yell "Oh fuck!" when he really put it through. Heh, John should road test some more of the crazier religions, they're always so much more entertaining. Finally, the door-to-door atheism segment was also full of funny moments. Although most of the reactions were pretty typical, some of them were just plain priceless... Unforunately, I forgot what the rant at the end was about. Still, I'd have to say this was the best episode so far. Full of funny moments.

Anybody watch 'Merrick and Rosso' tonight? Best scene: Canadian Guy: I was wondering why you guys never talk about ice hockey. Merrick: Well... maybe 'cause we're not Canadian.
