    Um. Hmm. Uh. Yeah what the actual fuck? So, my takeaway (and I haven’t made it fully through) is that to explain the easter story they try to use fiction? Doesn’t that just reinforce the idea that the story of easter is fiction?

    Am I going to listen to Jenny Nicholson talk about church plays for an hour and a half?

    ​

    Yes. Yes I am.

    ​

    Edit: Joy Story is a real rollercoaster of a church play.

    I am literally subscribed to Jenny Nicholson’s channel and I’ve been waiting MONTHS for her to do a new video, and I find out she’s got a new one via Reddit?

    YT’s algorithm is *criminally* bad.

    This shows multiple Easter play parodies and each just gets better. Long watch but I thought it was worth my time.

    Oh man, i was literally just thinking about this channel today, wondering where she went. Checked the channel to see if I’d just missed some uploafs

    I startled the shit out of Jenny Nicholson by accident one time. I was in Orlando for Star Wars Celebration 2017 as an exhibiting artist and she was near the entrance/bar of the hotel I was staying in. I recognized her and approached her just to say hi (I don’t really ask for selfies or photos) and she jumped a mile. I don’t know if I came in too fast, or what, but I just told her I loved her work and if she was attending the convention that she should come by my artist booth and I’d love to gift her a free art print if she saw one she liked (I didn’t have any on me, I was on my way to meet friends at the bar) and she politely thanked me and said she would, and I left (the entire thing was maybe 15 seconds), but she never stopped by my table at the convention. Which is totally fine. Every time I see her videos pop up though, I wonder if I came on like a weirdo or if she was having an off day/moment (she was alone with some luggage, I assumed she was checking in), or if she just forgot my name and never made it to the artist area or what. I can be super socially awkward so these things keep me up at night.

    That Ace Ventura impression ain’t bad at all tho. Dudes got the whole body down but needs to work on the voice.

    Wow despite how cringe and occasionally offensive these plays are, they are also kind of endearing. And yeah those production values are kind of wild, though the pirate ship was the standout.

    That bizarre European Ken impression sounds familiar but I cant put my finger on it.

    Is it supposed to be Two Wild and Crazy Guys?

    How do you do a religious Star Trek-themed play and not shout out to “What does God need with a star ship!?”

    I watched the whole video. High quality entertainment. She has chart-topping crazy adult Disney fan vibes, and don’t think she would even mind me saying that. As a former whip-wielding 15-year-old Roman soldier in my church’s attempt to remake Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ in 20 minutes, I appreciate this church’s work so much. Keep on awkwardly rapping, youth pastor dude. Love that confidence to handle any material they throw at you.

    Reminds me of watching a video about Veggie Tales and the creators basically said “the one thing we can’t do is depict a cartoon, vegetable Jesus getting crucified. Because that would just cross a line we can’t cross.”

    And I feel like this church took that as a challenge to see just how many ways they could cross that line.

    I love the implications of a Monty Python-based Christian Easter musical.

    Where I live, it’s still illegal to show Life of Brian on Easter.

    So bizarre to see someone in my youtube subs talking about a church I used to walk by on my way to school. The only reason the name even stuck in my head was Arrested Development. “Solid as a rock!” indeed.

    Jenny is phenomenal. I’ve watched every second of her videos, even on crap I will never watch and have no interest in. Been such a wait for a new video!

    She was confused about the depiction of the Nazi’s in Raiders of the Lost Ark one as buffoon’s.

    They are the German’s from the old TV Show Hogan’s Hero’s. The impressions were actually pretty impressive.

    I am at the 28 minute mark and she has been confused by two jokes so far that requires knowledge of Manitoba.

    Manitoba has a lot of Mennonites in it. Mennonites tend to know Low German in that area. Altona is a Mennonite town, IIRC. Mennonites are “cheap”. Batman is looking for a meter with time still on it because he is “Mennonite on his mother’s side”.

    I am only at the 28m mark. I assume this is going to be an ongoing theme.

    EDIT: 29 minute… Altona has no weapons, passivists… Mennonites.

    EDIT2: 36m – Club Regent Casino is a casino in Winnipeg. So locality joke but not a Mennonite joke this time.

    I watched the entire video while working which is SUPER unusual for me. This was all-around great content…and so so uncomfortable. Not because of the plays, but because I kept going through my history of church musicals and skits and plays and trying to make sure we didn’t do anything quite so cringy…and I did. But not AS much.

    Jenny Nicholson actually posts really great, very well thought out videos. She takes a topic that initially you’d go, “fuck I do NOT care about that” and turn it into a super interesting hour long breakdown. 10/10 channel
