Dr. Seuss Bible

[@BobBX542]

Up until about 2 minutes and 41 seconds ago, I was fairly confident I had seen every single sketch the Kids in the Hall had done. This was completely new to me, and absolutely hysterical.

[@cromandum217]

im pretty sure it was controversial when it first aired and might not have been included in all tv reruns

[@John_McDonnell]

@@cromandum217 Kids hate being told Santa's not real. It's a real bummer for them.

[@GeishaShattori]

I love how the word "spake" trips him up! XD

[@Zappalite421]

"What shall we do with this uppity Jew?" that line made me laugh for a good 20 seconds and I had to re-watch the rest of the sketch. They are truly the kings of situational comedy.

[@mooogn]

Can't stop watching this skit. It's so much fun (and Dave has never been more adorable). Pure perfection :-D

[@ChrisCa1601]

Randomly found this in my recommended list. I'm glad I clicked on this.

[@jeffeffery8181]

These puppets mustve been a whole seasons budget

"For they walk through this life in toe-crampity shoes."

[@frickenxpurplexshoes]

I just love how Dave says, "Bible." he's so precious.

[@MCO18]

Dr. Seuss was still alive when this sketch aired in 1988. I wonder if he got to see it and what he thought of it.

[@jabberw0k812]

Oh man, Mark's face when he's using the machine. haha

[@AtomicPunk23]

In the DVD commentary they talked about how some of the stage hands refused to take part in building the jesus crucifixion machine 😂

[@pineapplepenumbra]

Did they think it might be a bit dangerous? Snowflakes.

[@Algahiem]

I wish Dr. Seuss actually rewrote the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelations. I could just imagine what the first few verses would be: One day God said "I need and new lark..." "...to stop me from bumping around in the dark." So he searched his cupboard, he search on his porch, He searched his basement, where he found his torch. Turned on his torch, he shone it so bright, That God jumped for joy and said "Let there be light!"

[@leodougherty2777]

AWESOME!! LOVE IT.

[@Algahiem]

***** Thx! :D

[@grayson4614]

Genises 1:1 In the beginning there was nothing of worth, than God came along and made Hevean and Earth.

[@alexgough8521]

At the start there was dark So God let there be light And so he divided the day and the night But then, He decided the Earth was too wet And so he created some dry firmament And put there some grass and some fruit and some seed And some stars and the moon, and whatever He needs to think "It is good! I would like to live here! And anyone else in my image: a peer, or a thrall, or a friend, or a Who, or a Why, would be happy to live here and, well.... multiply!" Then he thought up a Man and a Woman and said: "That seems pretty good. Now I'm going to bed."

[@publius9350]

You added a little good moment to my day. Thx.

[@thebiglebowski9849]

This is so fucking offensive I almost pissed myself laughing. Love it.

[@zazuzazz5419]

DO or DO NOT. There is no TRY.

[@aerialkate]

Scott looks great with a beard. He should have sported one all the time - suits him.

[@DylanHouseShow]

When I was a kid, I prayed to god for a bike, but I soon learned the lord didn't work that way. So I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness- Emo Philips

[@MrMavstar]

Can I sue youtube for withholding this gem of a video , from the recommending list. 13 years this is up and I'm finding it now? I am happy for the channel putting this out. I just want to punch the people who run the algorithm. The algorithm that took 13 years? Thanks again for your video, I absolutely loved it. It will be shared.

[@pineapplepenumbra]

My problem is the algorithm that keeps hiding or deleting comments for no good reason.

[@redmercer]

Timothy Foo must be Bruce's son, he looks just smacking like him

[@mykelengieza7057]

It's got to be his kid....

[@wellesradio]

@@mykelengieza7057 Maybe a relative, but not his kid. Bruce didn't marry and have children until almost 10 years after the show ended.

[@Sollythesilent]

I love how hilariously accurate this also is in terms of Dr. Seuss books.

[@bvthedemon]

I love this absurd treatment of an already absurd idea, brillant!

[@hectorrosales174]

Classic. This is a bible story I could get into

[@Filidhe]

So. Very. Brilliant. How did I miss this airing: it's epic. Toe-crampity. /beam

[@BaronVonQuiply]

"Thus he spake" is somehow hilarious. Credit to Dave Foley.

[@Curas1]

I wanna hear the old testament done to the story of the The Sneetches But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches Would brag, “We’re the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches.” With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort “We’ll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!” HAHAahahahaaa!!!!!

[@bookworm65t]

Is Scott's "crown of thorns" made of party favors?? lol

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

Poppers?

[@seamac206]

This feels like a reference to the Smothers Brothers

[@Larommi]

Aye, it was on in the states. I even have it on tape somewhere. I used to record this show and filled up 7 video tapes...ROFL. I dont have anything anymore to play them on.

[@vmelkon]

the one you can worship while taking a snooze! lol

[@gaggle64]

I much would Dave charge to read me bedtime stories?

[@markabboud8564]

I know what I’ll do.....I’ll make lots of fish! Then you’ll have food on your empty old dish!

[@Shuda7]

That actually makes more sense than the real Bible....

[@tylersuter5061]

Perfect for a Dr Seuss Easter

[@FunnyBecauseItsTrue]

"Thus he spake..."

[@Cocarat206]

My friend, you are mistaken. There is not one God, there are five. There names are Kevin, Dave, Scott, Bruce, and Mark. Do not insult my Gods. It makes me cry.

[@slogear]

scott look great in this one

[@MCO18]

70 Christians took offense.

[@DurkMcGerk]

I wonder how many are named Helen

[@imcallingjapan2178]

@@DurkMcGerk They're called Karen these days. How is 2018?

[@DurkMcGerk]

More like 1991. This isn’t a reference to Karens but rather to a Kids in the Hall sketch called “30 Helens Agree”. Helens are better than Karens.

[@GreyfoxRaposa]

Totally awesome video.

[@GrandFunker]

I'm going to ask why I have to go to Hell. They're gonna tell me it's because I couldn't stop laughing at this sketch. I'm gonna shrug and say...yeah. Ya got me

[@NoorElahi1776]

This did not get played on Comdey Central in the 90's. Holy fuck that was hilarious!!!

[@NETWORK23STUDIOS151]

I am a Christian minister /bishop, and have ALWAYS loved this renditipn. God,I'm sure has a sense of humor.

[@billyb6001]

NETWORK23STUDIOS there is no god

[@Nope2479]

Billy b what's the point of oppressing others with your opinion. I agree with your message but not with your method. Cut it out.

[@billyb6001]

Cut me some slack. I was drunk when i wrote this. And it is not an opinion. Its a true or false statement.

[@davilathegreat]

@@Nope2479 Expressing one's difference of opinion is neither oppression nor prozelytation anymore than declaring one's belief. Either accept that people have differing opinions and allow them the freedom to express it, or uniformly oppose all expressions of opinion. You'd be wrong and an asshole for trying to shut everyone up, but at least you have a modicum principle to your approach. If one guy can go around saying they believe in something, but you chastise the person who disagrees, you're the asshole. The only reason it's hard for atheists to get along with theists is because everyone wants to shut atheists up. You'll never get respect from anyone while trying to silence dissidents. And frankly, if the minister/bishop who made this OP isn't worried about the guy's comment, why are you trying to be the White Knight? You're just being an asshole, itching to call someone what you're most guilty of.

[@cookedbread]

This is so beautiful.

[@ghostofandy]

About as accurate as Mel Gibson's movie.

[@BettinaBalser]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@evenflow5491]

Even better that Scott is playing Jesus

[@williamcrowe2576]

The most controversial book since "And to Think I Once Saw It on Mulberry Street".

[@k.pacificnw02134]

Fun blasphemy, but 'Life Of Brian' still holds the top spot for funniest blasphemy.

[@Neonapoptosis]

this is just pure win

[@NadiaFate21]

I swear, if there were a religious figure you could worship by sleeping I would stop being an atheist.

[@SgtPlmFry]

I love this sketch! I am Christian and don't see it as being offensive... it's brilliant! Also, Young Timothy Fue looks like Bruce. I wonder if they're related.

[@thelostone6981]

Would love to see them cover Genesis 38 or the prophet who called forth 2 bears to maul 42 kids who made fun of him for being bald.

[@matts8833]

This is just too awesome to start a flame war over.

[@matthewkearney9044]

Could you imagine playing this in a church? There would probably be few people laughing until the crucifixion scene. I would be dying.

[@ArchibaldClumpy]

I wonder how many evangelicals thought this vid was tasteless but took their kids to watch Mel Gibson turn Christ into Hamburger Helper on screen.

[@rayrayfad3654]

There actually was a religious kids show in America that illegally used Seuss characters in the show

[@bootblacking]

Happy Easter, everyone, don't forget to throw out your toe-crampity shoes!

[@tmgore64]

This is one of best moments for the Kids.

[@DemonWarp65]

Happy birthday Dr Seuss!

[@richdelgado3405]

When Comedy Central replayed KITH, I swear to God I don't remember ever seeing this sketch.

[@starofjustice1]

Guess there are just some people out there looking for something to offend them so they can complain.

[@bikebudha01]

There never was, or will be, a better sketch comedy show...

[@entroponetics]

ahhhhh! Best KitH sketch ever!

[@skywize]

Brilliant!

[@JulieanneMalamon]

That was fantastic!

[@ghostofandy]

And now a reading from the Gospel according to Seuss....

Pretty darn good, I'm glad your doing good, friend.

[@Galactus78]

I had a pair of toe crappity shoes once. Last time I shoe shop on Amazon.

[@Doughnut-0123]

How come it takes Christians an hour each Sunday for the rest of their lives to get through 3 min worth of story?

[@Guitcad1]

@NadiaFate21 What about Morpheus, from the Odyssey? He's the one who gave the Lotus to the Lotus eaters.

Okay, now I'm a Christian.... I don't see how this is anything but hilarious.

[@IanChiclo]

Yes, lots of the Kid's sketches were edited for US TV. Mostly nudity and religion.

[@auntbecky]

There are lot's of people talking about this sketch, (both pro and con) that seem to be walking with toe crampity shoes.

[@DeathToMayo]

I see a lot of recent comments that don't understand what happened with the Dr Seuss books.

The kid at the end is Dave's nephew. Please confirm. Sean Foley? I believe.
