That's Your Mime: K & K, The Christian Mimes

Not to be all Professor Mimes over here, but are these guys, who are your mimes, even miming? Does this count? Never in my life have I wanted there to be a Mime Court with a Presiding Mime Judge to deliver Mime Verdicts on whether or not mimes were actually miming, but I do now. This is more like interpretive dance, or pre-planned gesticulating. Where's the invisible box? Where's the OBJECT WORK? Marcel Marceau is le rolling in his le grave right now.

To be fair, posting the video was really just an excuse to post this link to K & K's official website. That shit has 2 be seen 2 be believed. (Via Mark Lisanti.)

I recommend that everyone opens the video in a new window so you can read the comments on the video of all the people inspired by this...I guess?

That is so not miming, and miming is so not Raven.

I'm really offended by this whiteface minstrel show. It's 2009, people.

It is good that they use the Monster Truck voice to sell themselves on their website. And that Monster Truck voice is supposed to be God. Which by my deductive logic means God must really love Truckzilla.

I remember seeing this years ago. I should've thought of it. DAMN WHAT A MISSED TIP.

Only when someone showed it to me they were serious, so. Yeah. I live in the south, obviously.

Please please please let them add a third to the troupe - a Kyle or Kurt or Klaus. Then the irony bomb in my head will finally detonate.

You guys back the fuck off. They're trying to show us the power of Christ! Open your mind and let them in. THEY DON'T TALK SO THEY DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF GOD'S VOICE. I mean, is it so hard for you guys to explore alternative means of worship? You fuckin hipsters are probably going to hate on some wonderful "Living Statue Street Perfromer" ministry next, aren't you?

Nah, I'm just fuckin with ya'll. This is weak as hell. Although sign me up if monster trucks are actually involved. Involved in running those assholes over. Cause that'd be fuckin SPECTACULAR.

Most sites with seizure-inducing flash animation have a 'skip' button. K&K have a 'replay' button. Your sin is Pride, K&K.

The geniuses who put together the K&K website intro also did this church website intro that I think was inspired by a Cirque de Soleil knockoff:
