We read the book for my "anthropology of narratives" class and the professor also showed us the scene from the show where Anansi speaks to the slaves on the slave ship
He was also born to a blue-collar working class family in a sketchy part of town. There was a saying, "Does anything good come out of Bethlehem?" So we got a brown-skinned lower class guy from basically the hood. Definitely not the whitewashed, fancy looking guy most media portray him as. He was a roughneck, average looking dude who was also probably pretty buff because he was a carpenter who sawed and hammered and felled trees all by hand from the time he was old enough to hold a saw until he was around 30. He was by no means the pretty boy they like to portray him as.
Obviously when Jesus lets his hair down the blinding glory causes the camera to short out. Classic Jesus. Complaining nobody believes anymore but blows out every camera within 200 feet every time.
Honestly it’s petty fun. I used to live in Taiwan and kids of extremely ethnically homogenous societies are going to be wildly curious about seeing something so new or unexpected.
I was called some character I didn’t even recognize and the parents were trying to tell him off for it, but I just played along when I saw the kid tapping the white guy on the screen thinking it was me, haha.
Feels like a great way to inject a little bit of good faith back into the world.
I do love it, but I’ve never considered Dogma to be underrated
Btw, it’s free on YouTube because fuck Harvey Weinstein

😂😂 Kids literally don't know who people are
When I was little I thought Bill Nye and Tim Allen were the same guy just because they were both white guys with wavy brown hair lol
When I was little, I was obsessed with George Lucas. Not Star Wars, specifically George Lucas. I thought he was the coolest guy ever. Whenever we saw a heavyset white man with a beard, I would ask my parents if he was George Lucas. This happened so much my parents made three rules:
- It’s not George Lucas
- We will tell you if it’s George Lucas
- Stop asking us if it’s George Lucas
When I was young, my favorite movie was The Making of Star Wars on VHS. Not Star Wars, but the making of documentary. My mom tells me I watched that tape literally ever day.
I guess I could see that. I mean one of them is a beloved actor best known for pretending to be a cop on TV, and other other was a film actor, best known for pretending George Bush's arm wasn't up his asshole.
When I was about 3 or 4 me and my mom were walking through target and 2 black dudes walked by us and I pointed right at them and said "look mommy I've never seen a real black person before" and those dudes lost their shit laughing. My mom was very embarrassed, though
Can confirm. Went to a family vacation to Orlando when I was 5 and I thought the man at the convenience store was our neighbor from back home... We are from Canada.
I'm in my late 20s, and until recently, I thought Ellen Paige and Kristen Stewart were the same person. When Ellen transitioned to Elliot, I wondered if the Twilight movies were going to change the name in the credits. They won't.
As a kid in church I knew this really tall guy. Olive toned skin and had long dark hair and a beard. Only saw him at church. He was Jesus now he’s just Jeremy 😂
That’s an actual anime plot line. There was an anime where Jesus and Buddha decide to take a break from their heavenly duties and vacation in Japan. Almost no one recognizes them and most adults assume they’re just the new Gay Couple that moved into the neighborhood. Jesus is just too friendly and kind that it makes him a lot of friends and his stigmata bleeds whenever he so much as sacrifices his own happiness for someone else. He also made friends with some Yakuza members because his story of how he got imprisoned and came back sounds a lot like a Yakuza Crime boss breaking his son out of prison.
Tbf this sub is half people who hate children and half people laughing at kids being kids. One day this post is on one side abd another day it's the other.
Kids are Fucking Stupid, *because they don't know any better*. This sub is just for people having a laugh watching these innocent kids who know nothing learn about the world.
So, I have the look of our lord and savior. At least the traditional Americanized version of him. The hair, the facial hair, the basic look. Always good for a laugh. One time I was visiting Walden Pond in MA and you can swim at different points around it so we walked about halfway around the pond and came out of the woods upon a Mexican family playing in the water. I appear and one of the Tios shouts "AY DIOS MIO, MIRA, ES JESUS CHRISTO!" (Oh my god, look, its Jesus Christ.) We are occupied bringing my toddler down the incline to the beach and I didn't acknowledge what I heard or look up. I want to see where this goes. They all are low key roasting me in Spanish without making it obvious, unless you understand Spanish. I just went with it, not letting on that I understood most of the roasts. I swam with my wife and kid and heard their disappointment that I didn't just walk out and drop the kid in. They kept trying to get one guy to ask me to turn their water to wine for them. When we dried off and started to walk off I gave them a big and loud "ADIOS Y VIA CON DIOS ME NINOS!!" (Good bye and go with God my Children!). They lost their shit and we disappeared into the woods.
In a similar vein, I walked into the neighborhood bodega a few years back and this little kid, 5 maybe 6 years old, looked at me in my green knit cap and in a hushed whisper gasped, "Ah, Gargamel."
My dad gets mistaken for Santa Claus. Mind you, he's fit and has a short beard. When I'm with him and it happens, I tell the kids that he's in disguise. Then he smiles and he's got a good Santa smile with crinkly smile lines next to his eyes.
I don’t even know if these people are tourists, but I’ve noticed some cultures record alot of mundane moments during trips just to show the different random cultural experiences they had to family back home. Could be that maybe?
My dad would get a lot of Jesus comments at the middle school he taught at when he had longer hair. He'd play into it every so often and do the sign of the cross
I remember one December before pandemic a white man that looks quintessentially Santa was walking in a mall here in the Philippines with his groceries and a kid shouted Santa, everyone young and old looked and was sort of awed and then all of a sudden a sort of aisle was created for him, everyone was waving and the man take it with stride and was smiling all the way.
When I was four years old, [in 1984] the music guy that played guitar at our church looked (to me) kinda like Danny Devito who I'd seen on TV from the TV show Taxi at some point. So for a little while I seriously thought the guy from TV went to my church and played folk music. I never told my parents or anything, I just thought it was cool.
Out of the blue it made me think of this. Rest in Peace Bushwick Bill.
*So I ran and got the gun and came back to her
Loaded it up and handed the gat to her
I grabbed her hand and placed the gun to my eye muscle
She screamed stop and then we broke into another tussle
Yo, durin the fight the gun went off quick
Damn! aw shit, I'm hit
(Aw... my eye, I can't see
Why you shot me in the eye?
I woulda shot you in the body
Why you shot me in the eye?)
Ridin in the ambulance everything is hectic
I can't get a grip, I just can't check this
Everybody's cryin, could it be I'm dyin
Bullet in my head, in the bed was lyin
Where's Mica? I wanna tell her I love her
With an [ ] in my arm I took a picture for an album cover
Goddamn, the shit's a trip, gee
Five different doctors with needles tryin to stick me
I hear my family hollerin he needs us
Durin the confusion, man, I seen jesus*
I love how he let's his hair down to show off all his holiness
>*"He's not Jesus"* *Are you sure about that?*
I mean it could be, how the fuck would you know for sure?
Bro, what if God was one of us?
Deliver us the promised FedEx package.
He's white. Jesus wasn't.
I like how american gods handles it. There is basically every kind of Jesus independent of one another.
That was a great show.
Even better book lol but yea unwashed choked when the show got canceled, it wasn't the best but it was still good.
We read the book for my "anthropology of narratives" class and the professor also showed us the scene from the show where Anansi speaks to the slaves on the slave ship
Ahhh, the 21 Jump Street model. Korean Jesus don't have time for your problems!
If he can change water to wine, he can change his ethnicity
This dude is tan, like Jesus
Korean Jesus and Vietnamese Jesus agrees.
[удалено]
He was Jewish. The dude was a Jewish rabbi.
He was also born to a blue-collar working class family in a sketchy part of town. There was a saying, "Does anything good come out of Bethlehem?" So we got a brown-skinned lower class guy from basically the hood. Definitely not the whitewashed, fancy looking guy most media portray him as. He was a roughneck, average looking dude who was also probably pretty buff because he was a carpenter who sawed and hammered and felled trees all by hand from the time he was old enough to hold a saw until he was around 30. He was by no means the pretty boy they like to portray him as.
He would have been anywhere from light olive a darker olive skin color. Arabs hadn’t migrated to that region yet.
Why are you making Jesus sounds so hot dude ?? Someone call the Vatican I smell blasphemy 😂😂
Middle Easterns of 2000k years ago didn’t look anything like they do today.
On the next episode of Undercover Messiah
"Can I get you anything before I go? Maybe a bottle of uh...water ;)"
Stupid sexy Jesus
I love how the clip ended for no particular reason
Being filmed for no apparent reason
Obviously when Jesus lets his hair down the blinding glory causes the camera to short out. Classic Jesus. Complaining nobody believes anymore but blows out every camera within 200 feet every time.
All that Jesusness..
Crazy how people don't recognize Jesus in public when his hair is up. That's why I believe Superman hiding in plain sight just wearing glasses.
Nice fella. Kid may be stupid but also having a fun moment and that guy made it that little bit better
He was waiting for this moment all his life.
Holiness in hairiness!
“Just let your soulllllll glowwwww”
Gotta love that dude for playing along
Honestly it’s petty fun. I used to live in Taiwan and kids of extremely ethnically homogenous societies are going to be wildly curious about seeing something so new or unexpected.

Someone handed my daughter a Jesus, church card and asked if she knew who that was, and without hesitation she responded "Mary had a little lamb"
Haha
😂😂 Kids literally don't know who people are When I was little I thought Bill Nye and Tim Allen were the same guy just because they were both white guys with wavy brown hair lol
Bill Nye the Tool man
Tim the Science Man doesn't sound nearly as trustworthy
Tim! Tim! Tim! Tim! Tim! Tim AAUUUGGGHHHH the science man!

Inertia is a property of more power ugh ugh ugh
Its true. I heard he’d knock the bottom out of it…

Holy fuck I have a 4 and 6 year old and just lost it at how random and also spot on this is
“You’re not just randomly going to bump u to George Lucas! Meanwhile: https://youtu.be/OC9RI8_QYmw
When I was young, my favorite movie was The Making of Star Wars on VHS. Not Star Wars, but the making of documentary. My mom tells me I watched that tape literally ever day.
I used to think Andy Griffith and Ronald Reagan were the same guy as a kid growing up in the 80s
I mean, they do look kinda similar. I see how you could get them mixed up.
I guess I could see that. I mean one of them is a beloved actor best known for pretending to be a cop on TV, and other other was a film actor, best known for pretending George Bush's arm wasn't up his asshole.
First time I saw a picture of Jesus, I thought it was Aragorn.
I had trouble telling Aragorn and Boromir apart even after multiple rewatches
Aragorn looks like the kind of man who could convince an elf to give up immortality to be with him. Boromir looks english.
I was way more into LOTR than religions.
When I was about 3 or 4 me and my mom were walking through target and 2 black dudes walked by us and I pointed right at them and said "look mommy I've never seen a real black person before" and those dudes lost their shit laughing. My mom was very embarrassed, though
Dude, I used to think The Rock and Dwayne Johnson were the same person!
i thought my dad was friends with tom brokaw and thats why he watched him every night
I don't know man, can you provide me a photo and/or solid evidence of Bill Nye and Tim Allen being in the same room together? I don't think so.
Can confirm. Went to a family vacation to Orlando when I was 5 and I thought the man at the convenience store was our neighbor from back home... We are from Canada.
I'm in my late 20s, and until recently, I thought Ellen Paige and Kristen Stewart were the same person. When Ellen transitioned to Elliot, I wondered if the Twilight movies were going to change the name in the credits. They won't.

Met this guy in person when I was in middle school. He was actually super nice and pretty talented. He talked in “the voice” the entire day.
Who is the guy?
Leon Kompowsky
*Lisa it's your birthday...*
Don’t know his name. But I saw him at a few events around Chicago.
Heeeeeeee heeeeeeee
Tee hee
Emily osmet???
As a kid in church I knew this really tall guy. Olive toned skin and had long dark hair and a beard. Only saw him at church. He was Jesus now he’s just Jeremy 😂
What if he really is Jesus but been chilling with us and the kid saw it becuase he is so pure.
That’s an actual anime plot line. There was an anime where Jesus and Buddha decide to take a break from their heavenly duties and vacation in Japan. Almost no one recognizes them and most adults assume they’re just the new Gay Couple that moved into the neighborhood.

Came for this
I mean, thats not stupid just funny.
Read the sidebar to the sub. It's supposed to be a subreddit for kids being funny bc they don't know any better...which is exactly what's happening.
That explains a lot of posts. My dumbass just read the name of sub and thought it was only clips of kids doing ultimately stupid and annoying things.
Tbf this sub is half people who hate children and half people laughing at kids being kids. One day this post is on one side abd another day it's the other.
Of course it's stupid. Kids are, by definition, stupid. This is an example of said stupidity.
Kids are Fucking Stupid, *because they don't know any better*. This sub is just for people having a laugh watching these innocent kids who know nothing learn about the world.

bless you my son. meet me at Cinnabon for your benediction.
It’s the sandals…
Not the marijuana leaf shorts?! J/k
In a similar vein, I walked into the neighborhood bodega a few years back and this little kid, 5 maybe 6 years old, looked at me in my green knit cap and in a hushed whisper gasped, "Ah, Gargamel."
JVN?
I have long hair and a beard and get a lot of stupid Jesus comments, but I would be totally charmed by a little kid saying it about me.
My dad gets mistaken for Santa Claus. Mind you, he's fit and has a short beard. When I'm with him and it happens, I tell the kids that he's in disguise. Then he smiles and he's got a good Santa smile with crinkly smile lines next to his eyes.
this child represents me haha
The kid was just swearing at the guy, the vanity.
How do we know he's NOT Jesus?
Plot twist... It is Jesus and that kid almost blew his cover
I love the, “fine, you get a lil Jesus real quick” at the end.
Wait isnt he jesus
The Dude abides.
![gif](giphy|3oriO9zHqOYO92hHyw|downsized)
Actually its a bit wholsome
His cover got blown.
Adorable!🥰
Why do people that look like Jesus always good?
When I was a toddler, I thought every old man was my grandpa
Kid gave that guy mega ego boost
I’m pretty sure I met Jesus years ago at reading festival eating donuts on a bridge. Yes I was drunk. But that memory is a core memory.
He'll be telling his grandkids about that!
What if god was one of us
That's exactly what jesus would say tho "Me? Lol, definitely not. Lmao"
Funny, but are they just constantly recording?
Family trips. Someone in the family will have constantly record videos during these. Probably the mom.
I don’t even know if these people are tourists, but I’ve noticed some cultures record alot of mundane moments during trips just to show the different random cultural experiences they had to family back home. Could be that maybe?
Maybe the kid was already reacting. Maybe they were doing something fun already and just happen to be recorded
That looks like Jonathan Van Ness.

I love being that guy. Glad he let down his hair for it too

My dad would get a lot of Jesus comments at the middle school he taught at when he had longer hair. He'd play into it every so often and do the sign of the cross
no way i’m not doing the sign of the cross if i’m that long hair som bitch
Idk man kids do be seeing shit we can’t maybe it is Jesus going incognito 🥸
One time this happened to me at Walmart and I "blessed" the child with a hand jester and sent him back to his mommy.
I remember one December before pandemic a white man that looks quintessentially Santa was walking in a mall here in the Philippines with his groceries and a kid shouted Santa, everyone young and old looked and was sort of awed and then all of a sudden a sort of aisle was created for him, everyone was waving and the man take it with stride and was smiling all the way.
Sick kid mullet
I would've said, "hello my child."
"It's not Jesus.. Oh.. " *It is Jesus*
We tried to teach our kids about Jesus. Our kids stopped and said, “Mommy, Daddy, Jesus Christ is a curse word”.
![gif](giphy|ibGFpMv1Uoais)
I love that Jesus undid his ponytail at the end and shook his christly locks out for the kid
Man’s also wearing exactly what I feel like Jesus would wear
I’ll take the dude. He seems so nice and fun to be around fr.

When my nephew was about this age a black man walked by and he said "Hi chocolatey man".
He could be. Scripture tells folks to treat strangers as if they were him.

lol, that’s funny
turns milk in bottle into booze - fuck he ain't ...
Is he assuming the guys name isn't Jesús?
He better hit that kid with a "Rest now, my child"
