What he's saying is that people like two day weekends. For most Christians, they spend Saturday doing whatever, and Sunday for religious worship. For those of the Jewish faith, switch these. That is all he is saying

It's saturdays off, you can relax and go to synagogue in one day. Also are you Jewish? Probably not, so that would make me the higher authority on this.

I am Jewish.

I can tell you that days of rest and days of prayer are not technically the same thing.

[JohnyMcmuffin]

I am not, but I was trying to make the point emma just did

[Kawaiicaps]

that vid was similar to this george carlin stand up routine

what the hell was this video???? i didnt get the main joke till about 4 mins in and overall it just wasnt funny, also there was too much handheld camera and it was almost sickening, its like you guys were like "Andys here, this video will be super easy".

this post needs some George Lucas-ing

what i meant was, i didnt really get that many of the references, and im not that big of a fan of the long takes with minimal cuts, so it seemed like a waste of effort there imo.

What you meant was "I'm a douchebag who appreciates nothing."

Then you should know that saturday is the day of rest.

[The Pious Flea]

Then you should know that saturday is the day of rest.

Saturday is the "day of rest" you're supposed to spend doing religious stuff.

Sunday is that actual day of lounging around for Jewish people. Like Saturday for Gentiles.

[robothero]

Or like both days for atheists.

Or like both days for atheists.

True that.

hah, you get 1 day of rest, while we get 2!

Well that would be assuming that I actually went to synagogue.

[JesterJ.]

Every time Video Discussion is bumped I get excited.

...damn you all!

[Trademark]

So? What´s up with the new video?

[Lyinginbedmon]

I was wondering that myself...maybe it's an unannounced roadtrip or something?

Of course, I wasn't an active viewer during the last one, so I wouldn't know if they posted during the roadtrip or not.

[The Pious Flea]

As is discussed in the Late Video This Week thread, Graham's computer broke on the same weekend they made the trip to Nanaimo to attend the festival.

As a result, the video was late. It's now up on Revver, although not yet on-site.

[ZephCrow]

I don't know what I can say that hasn't been said before, but this video is fantastic. It really shows what the crew of LRR is capable of, and is very wonderfully different from past videos. The acting (and not just Andy's) is very, very good and professional.

[Bryy M. Miller]

Wow, that was full of SO MANY Biblical puns.

[whyarecarrots]

Very sorry for threadnomancying this, but I have just watched this for the first time and I am very, very impressed.

I'm not trying to put down the rest of your work guys, but somehow when Andy's involved with the writing it seems to go to another level: this was a wonderful premise, revealed at a good pace with some great jokes and fantastic writing. I also think the script brought out some of the best performances I've seen from you: I loved Morgan's buddhist. I realise this may just be adding another unecessary voice to the clamouring crowds, but more Andy please

[theaterangela]

I have to say this is one of the best sketches... I even got all my family to watch it. They all asked me to bookmark the site so they can check everything else out.

[Elomin Sha]

Can't agree with you more theaterangela. Welcome to the forums too.

[Flamefire123]

I feel like I have achieved true geekery. I am using this video as the single outside soruce in my Bible as Lit class. I'll teach you to give me complete freedom. I'll use LRR.

[Tim]

Lol, wow...

Careful with that one. This video isn't exactly... accurate. : P



Also, welcome to the forums!

[Master Gunner]

Welcome, and plus 1 to what Tim said. The video isn't even internally consistent as to who's who.

[Flamefire123]

It doesn't have to be accurate I just have to take anything with strong biblical references, analyze them, and then discuss my feelings on the subject. XD

It also only has to be three pages long and I already written that much.

Considering one of the suggested sources is 'The Simpsons Bible Stories' I feel I'm safe.

Also according to a girl in my class after we watched this; Andy sounds like a 'angry Kennedy'.

Sure.

[meowmixman]

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. It's the one that got me forever hooked to the site. Still one of the best written LRR videos ever. To introduce my friends to LRR I told them all specifically to watch this video. Great stuff. HI-larious

[RandomManA]

This is, quite simply, the most brilliant thing I've ever seen on the internet. I've been watching your videos for the past several days, and while all of them were impressive, amusing, entertaining, or flat-out riotously funny, this is (so far) the most intelligent, witty, hilarious satire I've ever seen. And, as if the script wasn't brilliant enough on its own, you do the whole thing in one take.

Constructive criticism: could've used a little more rehearsal. There were times when it seemed like the cameraman wasn't sure what he should've been looking at, and as I've seen mentioned before, Andy gets called by the wrong name a couple of times. That's the only piece of criticism I have, actually. I thought everyone was brilliant in their roles, the pacing was impressive, the script was tight, and shooting the whole thing in one take was not only gutsy but it also added a lot of tension to the scene.

I know this video is already a few years old, but I just wanted to say this was absolutely superb.
