This video is a lot funnier if you imagine that it is a trailer for the upcoming season of Big Love.
There are a lot of misconceptions out there about the Church of Latter Day Saints, but in reality, they are human beings just like me. Who hasn’t found themselves in the midst of a crisis of faith, sitting on the couch drinking Tea K.O. and making desperate phone calls to the cable company to have them unblock the devil’s MTV after we got divorced because one time our wife drank two beers? But then you remember that God buried a golden metal book in upstate New York over 40 years ago, and that gives you the strength you need to perform a tight five at the Chuckle Hut. Normal.

I just want to know why Steve Young thinks I’m such a Menace 2 Society.
It could have something to do with the 11 or so concussions he had. He got hit so hard in a game against The Cardinals that when doctor on the field asked him if he knew where he was Steve replied “San Bernardino”.
Steve Young is not only a Mormon, he’s actually a descendent of Brigham Young. Fact…
the phrase “tight five at the chuckle hut” is going to stay with me for a while. many thanks.
That guy is your polygamist boyfriend! He is all of ours! He is our boyfriend!
the source material for this (The Singles Ward) was actually poking fun at Mormon culture. which is not the same thing as the Mormon religion.
“The Singles Ward (2002) was followed in 2007 by The Singles 2nd Ward.“
Because I’m an alcoholic who frequently makes bad decisions, I just purchased both dvd’s from Amazon.
did you buy whoopula yet?
In my experience, Mormon jokes–whether cultural or religious–are total crowd-pleasers. Really they don’t even have to be jokes.
Religiousintolerancegum. But come on, Mormons, what’s with the intolerance, and Prop. 8-supporting, and special underwear? What’s with it?
Yes. It looks like a weak movie, but it’s clearly made by Mormons making fun of themselves. It seems kind of shitty for us to use it as a reason to mock them.
It’s not shitty to make fun of this clip; it’s a horrible movie. I’m all about making fun of my fellow Mormons for making horrible movies. I will say, however, that the joke is on whomever actually thinks this accurately represents Mormon life. It’s like saying Avatar accurately depicts life as a futuristic space traveler. We all know there will be more hovering. (It’s not like that. I’m just on a mission ((Mormon reference)) to work Avatar analogies into completely unnecessary situations)

BTW, you guys, Gabe and Max have a new 100 seconds:

PS Unblocking MTV is the path to hell.
If we may revisit “How am I Driving…” I understand that you are looking to keep journalistic integrity or separation of church and state or some such thing, but I think that the fine folks at Details as well as the monster population would be more than OK with you posting 100 seconds here as they come out. Until such date, thanks to wtw for keeping me in the loop.
I concur!
i agree! gabe, post these! or just have max post them! that would be great if he started posting here! and this 100 seconds was the best one yet!
they could easily be posted in the vgum twitter account.
Mountain Dew, MTV, 26 Years Old and Unmarried?
I’d be an official Menace – if I had these pants.
ENHANCE
ENHANCE
Then Again, I’m glad I don’t.

#mammaltoe
Nope. #DeerPaw for the gents
I’d always heard #moosknuckle
Oh god. I meant MOOSEknuckle.
The human race has expended alot of subtlety on euphemising “penis and denim.”
talk about a “tight five at the chuckle hut”.
i forgot for a second about how everything is terrible is the best thing on the internet.
second best.
Remember the 90s? All those Mormon ska parties with people getting engaged? Those were crazy times. We were all hopped up on Mountain Dew spiked punch, I’m surprised we still remember.
Allllllrite Rude Boys! Let’s tuck our polos in!
Pickitup! Pickitup! Pickitup! Pickitup!
Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
I’m really digging that lost Weezer track at 1:55!
I think you mean GOD’S ARMY, the Ramones for Mormons (Ramormons).
The Mormones! Hey Ho Let’s Go (to Brigham Young University!!!)
Just call me Betty Scuba!
There’s a whole market for Mormon movies in Utah (at least that’s what the billboards along the highways suggest). Find some gems here: http://www.ldsfilm.com/
And I know people who are 23 and ashamed to not be married. TOUGH LIFE!!!
I will watch anything from the producer of The Passage to Zarahemla. He is the best producer.
They are just jokes, and that makes it OK. – Gopher Trace
You know you’re living on the edge when you see MTV for the first time at age 26.
Somebody ought to help him out with an internet link – he probably has no idea what happened to Snookie during that 3 second blackout.
“They should plant all tobacco plants by nuclear power plants because science!” It’s not like there weren’t literally thousands of topics he probably knew better than mormon stereotypes, he just happened to pick the most WTF one. Also, if you start to bomb because you didn’t put 2 and 2 together when you signed up for open mic night at the Philip Morris Laff Factory, don’t use filler life experience jokes that will cause your only friend to start melting because her kryptonite is Jay Leno jokes.
This guy is cute! I would totes watch MTV and listen to Mormon punk with him.
that man is the mormon don draper. using a razor scooter with his girlfriend while secretly watching mtv and telling terrible jokes at seedy comedy clubs.
My boyfriend recently left the Mormon church and his ginormous family is all Mormon. Um…. I’m not saying all Mormons are weird, but his family is fucking weird. Also, my boyfriend totally still has his CTR ring!
We used to make fun of one of my (aggressively perverted) friends who had a CTR ring because his mom bought it for him, and he thought it made him look rich, because it was sterling silver or something. The most common joke was: for you, CTR means “choose the right hand.”
Is that still funny? I can’t really tell. It was ninth grade, after all.
Oh, come on Tammy! The Mormon bit KILLED! I was like vintage Jeni up there!
“I’d like to UNBLOCK that please” is what I will now say to anything I turn on or open.
Also its a good pickup line.
We got Mountain Dew AND a magician up in this bitch!
One minute you’re cruising through videogum looking for something new to mock, when you see a new post. You get ready for a hearty, derisive chuckle and start planning an appropriately sarcastic comment. But then you hit play. And you realize the obscure film presented is something you have seen. In fact, you actually paid money to see this film. Moreover, you have seen it several times with your roommates at BYU. Then you’re world comes to a halt and you are sufficiently humbled. For once, that really is your boyfriend. And it stings. It really stings.
So much for shrinking the picture to make it fit. The other “similar title” is The English Patient.
I think of it as the Mormon “Funny People.”
For some dome reason we don’t have Big Love recaps, what’s with that? Come on Gabe, make my birthday wish come true.
Everyone knows that that Mountain Dew and MTV are a direct path to starring in a Broadway production of Hair.
Looks like he traded in that six-pack for a SIX-PACK.
OH MY GOD THATS HOW I KNOW HIM!!
His face was familiar, but I just couldn’t place him. Maybe if he were naked I would have remembered. (Too gross? lol)
That dude isn’t Mormon anymore. In fact, he stars in the current revival of Hair. How do I know? Because I’m also Mormon, and I’m also in Hair. Kidding. But I really am Mormon.
I’m Mormon, too. I feel like we’re in that scene on 30 Rock where all of the republicans stand up and admit something about themselves (e.g., “My kids go to public school” and “I’m black”).
My boyfriend just informed me that he’s actually watched this movie. Apparently they played it at his church one time. Go figure!
My boyfriend just said, “Hola, ¿cómo está?” in his silly American accent. [Sigh], sometimes I don’t know what I see in him!
What if…Randy were Mormon? The untold story.
Dear Lord,
Forgive me for I have sinned. Today my buddies and I spiked the punch at my Cousin Erma’s party with the Devil’s Juice – Mountain Dew. Then I sat by and said nothing as my friend Billy spoke Spanish to some girls at the party. But the worst thing, probably, is that I’m 25 and have zero wives.
I watched MTV today and imagined the girls on The Hills were my wives. I wish there were a way I could further destroy my body and mind, but I can’t imagine anything worse than sugar, caffeine, or cable TV. Please don’t send me to hell. Unless hell is like The Hills. Then, don’t worry about it, we’re ok.
No joke, in high school I was in a ska band that got a gig playing at a Mormon NYE dance because our drummer was Mormon. Wait, I just admitted that.
Is this the standard “look” for crazy religious ladies?
Ahh caffeine and Downtown Julie Brown, to be 9 again.
Me and my old roommate got schooled by a couple of Mormons in game of basketball. Then they tried to convert us. So basically, they made us look foolish and then wanted us to bow down to their God. Shit like that makes me wish I had a sword.
did anyone else find that that sleaze in the middle (‘hola, como estas?’ etc) reminded them of AD
Miles in The Ten??
No no, this conversation is about cheese.
