I recently received an email from Jason Sereno promoting his newest video on Funny or Die. He said, “I have a new comedy short on the front page of FunnyorDie.com today titled “Jesus Is Everywhere.” I think the video fits along great with your content. Feel free to post it to your site or anywhere else if you enjoy the clip.” I’m not reposting it because I enjoyed it per se. I’m reposting it, because I want to see what others think about the video.
The video was humorous enough. I especially enjoyed when the guy mouthed “son of a bitch” when Jesus was hitting on his girlfriend. However, the ending ruined it for me. If it is attempting to lampoon the whole footprints motif, it’s not doing it clearly enough. To me, any satirical message is diluted with the hokie pseudo-religious message at the end.
In my email response to him I said, “Thank you for the link. However, I must disagree with you when you say that this video fits along great with my content. The end of your otherwise humorous video ends in a very religious fashion with the all too cliche “footprints” text. Now if you had had the guy punch Jesus out for being a creeper and following him everywhere (not to mention, stealing his girlfriend), that would have fit in a little more closely with the theme of my website.”
What do you think? Funny? or Die?
IS there a “Die in the Worst Way Possible” option?
I loved it. It was very funny. As for the last part, you have to keep in mind, by this time, he was fed up, and wanting to just get away. Even at the beach, the ends of he earth, he’s still dogged, and its hopeless. Lesson, Jesus will be with you at all time alright. Whether you want it or not, he’ll be in your jockstrap with you; he’ll steal away your gf, and he’ll turn all your friends against you, or at least change them into people would wouldn’t like to hang with.
Thanks again for posting the clip. The ending quotes some of the best Bathroom Art of the 20th century. I was hoping the ‘unknown’ at the end would give away that it was a joke. You can see other Jesus-inspired videos at http://funnyordie.com/jasonsereno.
