THE BEATOONS-Episode 1-"More popular than..." -(@alvar0rtega)

Ladies and gentlemen: THE BEATOONS !!!
Yes, so glad to present to you a new project: An animation cartoon serie with a Beatles parody characters. This is the first episode and also my first colaboration with the great Stevie Riks!! he made the voices and is fantastic. A splendid time is guaranteed for all!!!

[@jamesmachin8410]

It's scary to think that 50 years later people still don't understand this quote

[@LysLovesAlpacas]

Honestly. There’s still people who hate John Lennon over it. He was fucking KILLED over it 😔😭

[@cuda426hemi]

@@LysLovesAlpacas He was correct as far as I'm concerned but he wasn't killed over it. Catcher In The Rye is the key to why John got killed - the Holden Caulfield character HATED "phonies" and the rest you can look up. 👀

[@LysLovesAlpacas]

cuda426hemi yeah, that was one reason. But it’s also well known that John’s Jesus comment was one of the first things that made that worthless POS start to obsessively hate Lennon. He’s said so himself.

[@jackdarcen25]

i am an 8 yr old and still know that the beatles is more popular than jesus

[@cuda426hemi]

@@idonotownanything1432 lol. rrrrright. jesus is on the job making America great Again ! Love the Plague, what's next, Jesus?? A little famine? Sorry pal but there is zero proof your cult jesus ever lived - heck we can't even agree on "truth" in printed news a few weeks ago let alone thousands of years ago - and we know powers that be fake history all the time - Israel is trying to re-write modern history today with phony interpretations of archeological digs - talk about fake news! So no..just like the scientology space ship and your tooth fairy creating the world in 6 days - please get a life and leave once in a lifetime genius like the Beatles the fluck out of your fantasy world because unlike your fantasy the Beatles were real - not created by scared little tribes running around the desert when Rome ruled the world. 🎸

[@lucianhartt4841]

Actually, the Beatles WERE more popular than Elvis Presley, so when Paul guessed Presley, John should've said, "True, but no."

[@Jesus4UWH]

The fact is that when John died he came face to face with Jesus, the creator of the universe. If John didn’t make a decision to accept a Jesus into his heart, then he’s in hell today. It’s so very sad and it’s not a joke. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, but through me.”

All Beatoons episodes are based on a real anecdote related with The Beatles, but are fantasies, parodies. This is not a Wikipedia sucursal nor a biopic nor a list of guitars Used by j + p + g + r. The intention under some gags express personals oppinions about Political or Religion, all under my resposability but in syntony with Beatles ideology. So I truly thank all friends that have understood the meaning of my serie leaving comments and support. And also thanks to the others who express their disconformities, even the ignorants or trolls.

[@ClaptonsWig]

It’s a funny cartoon but still hits you in the feels knowing it was this quote the ultimately cost him his life. What’s even sadder was John Lennon even mockingly joked about being shot by a fan years before his death. Love the skit but obviously some morons out there can’t handle criticism with conflicting opinions

[@gortrobot578]

Yeah, because that's what Jesus (a man who never hurt anyone his whole life, preaching forgiveness and peace toward others and changed the world by dying on the cross) would want. Someone, demonstrating the love and forgiveness of Jesus by shooting someone who talked ill of Jesus's name in the head.

[@Dude0000]

ClaptonsWig was the nutcase religious? I thought he was delusional. Never heard anything about religion.

[@Dude0000]

@@laurengreedywiweedy8635 I think he was influenced by ‘to kill a mockingbird’ a lot. So if he was religious, he was a bit off track with it. I think mental illness was probably a factor but some people just see religion and think they know what the motivation was. Took him 13 years to kill him after that Jesus quote? C’mon man!

John was seriously misquoted and his remarks were taken out of context when he made this remark.He was relaxed and talking to a journalist friend Anne Cleeves about the Hamburg days. He remembered Jesus Hernandez the cloakroom attendant at the Ratkeller who stood 5 ft 5 ins in his socks. What John actually said was "The Beatles were all bigger than Jesus, even Ringo"

[@sonnyburnett8725]

brett symington , No, not really. It was a French journalist who intentionally took his remark out of context most likely to hopefully boost her career. But then John being the straight talking guy he was didn’t exactly deny it as he meant it but of course in a different manner. Of course then the press which was right at the point of becoming like they are today. Abusive and totally untrustworthy.

[@ruggerobelloni4743]

What really happened is that they hired a new roadie for that US tour, a NY Puerto Rican guy named Jesus (Hay-soos) very efficient but of small stature and John said "Hey lads, have you noticed we are bigger than Hay-soos?" but once printed... Anyway on the White Album anniversary there was a Radio Vatican special raving about the lads' creativity and lovingly describing John as reaching fame and fortune so early in life that no single quote can change the impact of his Art. Saint Peter slapped his wrist and said "Welcome, I needed a break from this harp music!" (My tip for a cartoon).

In the period before John was shot he recorded 2 songs: "You saved my soul" and "Help me to help myself". If he accepted Jesus Christ as his saviour then It doesn't matter anymore what he said in the sixties.

He was shot dead by a deranged Christian. It's a good thing Mark David Chapman was "saved", though.

I'm a very strong Christian with a heck of a sense of humour and I've been a fan since I was 11 and I'm 65. I belong to the Salvation army church. They won't think it's funny but I'm a fan of stevie riks and that lovely Dutch man who does so many of his videos. God has a sense of humour of the highest quality. He made us and all the world and the birds and trees . So I don't think He has time for silly things . He created this entire perfect universe in perfect order. So perfect in fact the isaac Newton studied the universe and dissected it like only he can. And his diagnosis was that the world could only have been created by design. It was NO accident that the planets all collided and the most perfect creation just "happened"

[@ALVARORTEGA.]

Interesting. Thank you.
