Q: "I'm being bullied at school, what should I do?" A: "Well the first thing you should do, according to the story of King David, is find yourself a sling and five smooth stones..."
AT first, I thought this was just a corny, cringe-worthy parody of veggie tales, but you took it in a whole new direction. This is great. We need a veggie tales version to teach the faith to adults like this.
I love how Jerry is so shocked he breaks character, but Jimmy just keeps going. If you ever need courage just remember the time Jael snuck up on Sisera while he was asleep, drove a tent peg though his skull with such force he was pinned to the ground.
As very big fans, my family and I always watch new Lutheran Satire videos together. You cannot imagine how awkward it was for me to watch this with both my dad and my 11 year old sister with no warning 😂😁
Maxified at least this will actually teach kids something rather than be obscene for the sake of being obscene. Peppa pig and spider-man knock-offs I would be looking at you, but you all disgust me. woot! I love these animations, they always bring some new insight to my walk of Faith.
Because the Elements of Harmony are basically ripoffs of the Digidestined crests and tags. Also because I could care less about Gatomon and Renamon I decided to make my own stuff since no one but me thinks an adorable seal creature with a dry sense of humor beats feline cat morphs. Also, it was because I don't have an editing software and making digimon ponies in Microsoft paint was my way of doing some semblance of image editing. Mostly because I am a poor college graduate and I grew up mostly on books, not computers so I am not a mogul on that stuff... though I work to improve every now and then. Plus since I searched google images four years ago and there was no pony form of it I was jokingly thinking to myself "If it exists there is or will be a pony version of it XD".
Not on purpose. I was trying to mimic that "wah wah wah" music that's in every 80s sitcom establishing shot, but I'm not musical enough to figure out what the chords are. That was the closest thing I could come up with and I didn't realize I'd yoinked it until after uploading the video:-)
I approve. Suitable for all ages...especially if you're a pietist who thinks children who have been circumcised are not old enough to hear about circumcision or that hearing about Jesus' circumcision is a good reason to miss the Divine Service on New Year's Day. Well done.
There is more to the circumcision story. Abraham got impatient, and had sex with his wife's servant, who gave birth to a son. But this was a 'Son of the flesh' so to speak, not the miracle of God that had been promised. Circumcision was God's way of disciplining Abraham for trying to do in his own strength what God wanted to do. As Paul wrote, these things happened to the ancients as examples for us. For the Christian, the meaning is clear- we cannot save ourselves, or serve God in our own strength. "It is not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord."
I remember being in children’s church and the teacher was reading directly from the Bible and read about David killing the Philistines and cutting off their foreskins... then someone asked what is a foreskin.
Blushing here, and totally empathizing with Jerry Berry. My kids were all big Veggie Tales fans as kids (and my autistic son remained one well into his teens). The above parody video would probably have a place in college and adult religious education classes, but absolutely could not be used outside one's own family with children or teenagers. (I would get banned from teaching CCD lickety-split if I ever were crazy enough to use this with my Gr. 5 & 6 class!)
Daniel Buehring inside joke with him saying oh my heck. past episode on this channel. Donnell and Connell explain why Mormons are going to hell in 40.23 seconds or something like that.
It is supposed to be a children's show about basic Bible stories with simple morals, but one character wants to get into the deep theology of awkward rituals involving genitals.
*blink* *blink* That... was not... what I was expecting... at all.. pretty much ever. wow. I'll decide whether or not to like this video when the room stops spinning.
Veggie tales does have some issues, but I thought their retelling of David and Bathsheba was pretty tasteful for the target audience. Although yeah they would still need to learn the real story later
well - that was different. However, the suggestions over to the right for things to watch next is all for kids, and how to spell/say/sing about fruit. hmmmmmmmmmm
*awkward cough*... You promised me a video with Frank the Hippie Pope and Martin Luther NEXT WEEK. Instead I got a Veggie-Tales parody with weird child-inappropriate material TWO MONTHS later. Which, by the way, was being watched by three young children. I'm feeling a tad gypped. Plus I think I missed the point of this whole video.
First time I hear of this "VeggieTales". Guess that's why I didn't get it. But even with that... that makes it just a "reference" type of parody. Where's the theology punch? I mean, usually LutheranSatire videos involve some satire about nonsensical wordly views on christianity, heresy, or something like that. Here is just "oh look, a kids show talking about chopping off your foreskin". Sure there's also a biblical explanation on the meaning of circumcision, but I don't know... either it lacks something or I (admittedly) don't know enough about that VeggieTales thing to get the joke.
radornkeldam the satire is the fact that there are topics that are almost never talked about to kids and here they are using a parody of VeggieTales to talk about something that is almost never talked about to little kids.
Stephen Travis that video has been put on hold for now due to an issue with a nodule in his vocal cords. The FB page has a little more information on that.
And actually, all the Lutheran Satire videos are pretty hilarious. I don't mind waiting because a lot of thought is put in each animation. If you're constantly under the gun to produce a new video at a certain time, maybe the creativity leaks out.
Good point. No pressure, Pastor, no pressure...it's just that the orthodox faith is being attacked like never before, from within and from without, and it just takes one to go viral...
Mixed reviews for this web site; Scratch a Lutheran and a sectarian bleeds. Lutherans will allow a non-Lutheran into heaven but when doing so they will harbor the idea that if someone is not a Lutheran he is just an enthusiast. It as if Wycliffe and the Waldensians never existed. Lutherans need to read the Letter to Diognetus [c. 110-120]; it would humble them.
"God used circumcision to cleanse and purify the particular bits of Israelite flesh that would be responsible for siring the Messiah." Except he was conceived of the Holy Spirit and *Virgin* Mary. There was no penis, circumcised or not, responsible for producing Jesus. Just had to nitpick. Hilarious video!
The Virgin Mary was still Jewish and born of the circumcision. But Jesus' genealogy in Matthew seems to mostly be saying "look at this pedigree Jewish line and see how it too is full of non-kosher stuff: the bad kings, the fishy story of how Salmon and Rahab, the Moabite Ruth, David's adultery with a Hittite's wife, Judah's treatment of his Caananite daughter-in-law". The Torah does a very bad job of keeping Israel pure - in fact, as the Apostle Paul points out, it increases sin in Israel. Israel is where sin amasses, so that the Messiah can deal with sin fully. Circumcision is far more about it being God's grace through damaged people, not man's will or perfection, that creates the seed of Abraham. Where Abe's seed will come from is put to the knife and every male manhood in his house is likewise mutilated.
Q: "I'm being bullied at school, what should I do?"
A: "Well the first thing you should do, according to the story of King David, is find yourself a sling and five smooth stones..."
Or if you like camping, get a tent peg and a hammer

LOL!!! That is too funny. But I'd play it anyway!
More Churchy Fruits please,, hilarious.
I've been waiting for an upload forever, PATRICK!
flyfishjones yeah, come on Patrick. Let's see some more uploads Patrick.
Get with the program, Patrick.
I find it funny how Jerry's voice changed
it's been three years. We need another Churchy Fruits episode.
Please
Now it's 3 years since your comment and I still agree.
had to explain circumcision to a 10 year old who was sitting in the adult class. you could of heard a pin drop in the awkward silence that followed.
I am crying, the tears are just flooding my cheeks.
That was just beautiful.
This channel is the best thing coming out of the LCMS. More please
Wow, and you know kids are going to come here for a family friendly video. There are kid videos recommended! This is hilarious though!
Maxified at least this will actually teach kids something rather than be obscene for the sake of being obscene. Peppa pig and spider-man knock-offs I would be looking at you, but you all disgust me. woot! I love these animations, they always bring some new insight to my walk of Faith.
I'd show this to my kids.
This is beautiful. You are truly doing the Lord's work here.
this is the funniest thing I've seen today. I watched this like 5 times now and still laugh at it, especially the pen.. part
Oh my if Veggietales did a sex education video XD Love it!
crestofreliability Wait...did you make Gomamon into an MLP OC? Why didn't I think of that!?! XD
Because the Elements of Harmony are basically ripoffs of the Digidestined crests and tags. Also because I could care less about Gatomon and Renamon I decided to make my own stuff since no one but me thinks an adorable seal creature with a dry sense of humor beats feline cat morphs.

C'mon, they dont even have hands or legs let alone the necessary anatomy for that!
Joe and Gomamon are my favorite characters from that show. So you get a big thumbs up from me. :)
well that was different. got a good laugh out of it.
Read the title as "The Churchy Fruits Learn About Carthage" and was only marginally disappoined by the child-inappropriateness of this video.
Who was more salty? The fields of Carthage when Rome salted them or the Israelite men when they learned they had to be circumcized?
Definitely Israel.
Vader scream > Wilhelm scream
Truly a work of art, keep up the good work.
Jimmy sounds a lot like a cucumber I know
Veggie Tales on budget cuts…..
Is that the Nation Wide jingle I'm hearing?
Not on purpose. I was trying to mimic that "wah wah wah" music that's in every 80s sitcom establishing shot, but I'm not musical enough to figure out what the chords are. That was the closest thing I could come up with and I didn't realize I'd yoinked it until after uploading the video:-)
LutheranSatire reminds me of the music in the Netflix show "Schitt's Creek"
I thought it was that as well...
the need to fast track more of these episodes. this was too funny
I approve. Suitable for all ages...especially if you're a pietist who thinks children who have been circumcised are not old enough to hear about circumcision or that hearing about Jesus' circumcision is a good reason to miss the Divine Service on New Year's Day. Well done.
Probably my favorite video of this channel and the one I laughed the hardest on. Wish this channel had more consistent content!
Wow... that was hilarious... I do hope you make more.
Seriously, make more videos, this stuff is gold!
I want too much to have kids in order to show them this
This is probably the 10th time I'm watching this (not in a row, though), and only now did I understand that this is a parody of veggietales lol.
that darth vader "no" got me good xD

That green one looks more like a slice of kiwi to me.
"slice"
I love this! You are such a blessing your videos are hilarious! 👍👍
ranks as either #1 or #2 of your funniest videos! I still love HORUS RUINS CHRISTMAS.
Oh man, I LOVE THIS.Thank you, Lutheran Satire!
What's that going down the crapper? Oh, it's my childhood.
Sharing this with my peeps at DTS
Oh Mu Science, I wasn't ready for this lol Dirty humor had never been so biblical
I remember being in children’s church and the teacher was reading directly from the Bible and read about David killing the Philistines and cutting off their foreskins... then someone asked what is a foreskin.
I wish this form of Christianity was more mainstream
Nope. It requires thinking about truth.
Doesn't get much more mainstream than Confessional Lutheranism.
Lol, this is great!
Was that the Darth Vader scream you used at the end? This is hilarious
How did i miss this one?
This was wonderful :)

Thanks for splitting my gut!
Needs more Horus. ;-)
Please include an adult only warning! This is funny though.
I must say, I LOVE this vid. SO funny.
You went after my beloved and sacred VEGGIE TALES! NOOOOOOOO!
Oh my heck lol that's great
Collin Hernandez you must be Mormon I presume?
Wait, WHAT?! Mormon?
Daniel Buehring inside joke with him saying oh my heck. past episode on this channel. Donnell and Connell explain why Mormons are going to hell in 40.23 seconds or something like that.
pursuing222 OK, I just rewatched that video.
I used the exclamation ironically for a while but now it's unironic but I'm not Mormon lol
You've killed me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now here's somethin' for the ol' youth group! xD
I almost fell over laughing.
i love how you tube actually thinks this is kids show, all the suggested videos here are knock off veggie tales
I enjoy Pr. Fiene's cutting wit.
Hah. Cutting.
Oh right in the childhood
Hey Hans, somewhere you have a video about the use of Humor in Theology. Ayn idea where that one went?
Found it. Nevermind.
You know what I find funny. I have never seen vegitales do the death and resurrection of Christ
They show it through stained glass windows in An Easter Carol but the original writers had a rule that Jesus would never be depicted as a vegetable.
I 'get' the rest of LutheranSatire 's videos, but not this one . . . ?
It is supposed to be a children's show about basic Bible stories with simple morals, but one character wants to get into the deep theology of awkward rituals involving genitals.
That. Was. Startling...
Hahaha! That was hilarious
PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE
44 Baptists watched this.
Whenever I feel scared, I just remember that time David circumcised two hundred dead Philistines....
Zac Slade David used the foreskins to make a wallet. When he rubbed it, the wallet became a suitcase.
*blink* *blink*
That... was not... what I was expecting... at all..
pretty much ever.
wow.
I'll decide whether or not to like this video when the room stops spinning.
i love your channel
OHMYGOSHWHATDIDTHEYDOTOMYVEGGIETALESWHENIWASINCOLLEGE?!?!
VeggieTales on budget cuts.
Help please, what was the main idea or creators purpose?
Is it satirizing how kids aren't taught these things because well it's 'not pg'?
Mi Les It is a parody of Veggietales. Yes it is satirizing.
So now it's not on RUclips kids anymore hmmm 🏋️🏋️
Ok what was the point of that ? I mean what's the lesson here ?
The theological significance of removing the Israelite foreskin known as circumsion
@@Chiller31916 I'll just take your word for it.
This was great. But where's Frank the Hippie Pope?
This is hilarious!
My favorite
Wow
Yes, the Scriptures testify about Christ or it's circumcision.
Mooaaaaaar!
Veggie tales does have some issues, but I thought their retelling of David and Bathsheba was pretty tasteful for the target audience. Although yeah they would still need to learn the real story later
this is hilarious XD
Hahahahahahahahahaha too funny
also: FIRST!
So don't get circumcised. That's the point, right?
What does THAT have to do with ANYTHING??
As a parent who avidly hates Veggie Tales I loved VERY HARD
What's wrong with Veggie Tales?
well - that was different. However, the suggestions over to the right for things to watch next is all for kids, and how to spell/say/sing about fruit. hmmmmmmmmmm
LOL!

Maybe I'm being a tad slow today, but what's the main point of this video?
I honestly don't understand what's going on at all...
It's a parody of VeggieTales that mentions circumcision, which is not something you'd expect out of a video made (apparently) for kids.
First time I hear of this "VeggieTales". Guess that's why I didn't get it.
But even with that... that makes it just a "reference" type of parody. Where's the theology punch?

Jerry Berry .. Is he related to Al Kieschnick?
He's right, Pastor! You PROMISED a video with both Frank the Hippie Pope AND Dr. Martin Luther, or was that an April Fool's joke, too?
Stephen Travis that video has been put on hold for now due to an issue with a nodule in his vocal cords. The FB page has a little more information on that.
And actually, all the Lutheran Satire videos are pretty hilarious. I don't mind waiting because a lot of thought is put in each animation. If you're constantly under the gun to produce a new video at a certain time, maybe the creativity leaks out.
Good point. No pressure, Pastor, no pressure...it's just that the orthodox faith is being attacked like never before, from within and from without, and it just takes one to go viral...
That’s why Sunday School teachers don’t go straight thru the Bible.
So are you making fun of Veggietales for not teaching this stuff, or actually teaching this stuff?
Hilarious
man old testimate was brutal, good thing now the messiah came you only need to be circumsized of the heart
well, i guess pastor fiene is going to hell for making this video....and we are all going to hell for laughing at it
How?

That all seems to go beyond Biblical literalism.
I have more questions than you have answers
