European here! One of these rallys came to my city when I was about 7. I was in catholic school and they came there handing out flyers. The nuns told us kids not to go because these rallys were run by bad people trying to use the lord's name to spread hate and make money by misrepresenting Jesus. When my mom picked me up she saw some flyers and got annoyed. She said something to a nun walking past and the nun scoffed and said "Don't we all have better things to do than yell at homosexuals." It's ingrained I'm my memory because it was the first time I found out there were other Christians and that some of them were "mean". It blew my little mind. And I'm not saying catholisism is flawless, but I will forever be grateful for Sister Justina and her insistance of us all loving our neighbors.
Fellow European here and although it was in a completely different context, I also distinctly remember the shock of learning that there were mean Christians (also in the US) who use faith for hate 😅😂 weirdly universal experience apparently
Usually if I want to show a creator how much I appreciate them, I will say I love your work/videos. Not only is it more accurate, but it comes off less creepy. That being said, I think most people would understand you didn't mean it creepily. :)
Genealogist here. I did some cursory research. I found a family tree online for Copeland's father. That tree does include connections to a Native American Chief in the Carolinas, Nicholas Keziah, via a marriage between his "daughter" (may be his sibling/cousin) Sarah and William Winchester. While there is no "proof" of this connection, the family lore regarding this connection is strong enough that within a generation or two, descendants were being named "Keziah." There are hints online that the tribe has their own lore that seems to validate the assertions. I also discovered that while Copeland is mostly of English Puritan ancestry, he also some Spanish, German, and Irish ancestors. Oh, and it appears he is related to Elvis Presley.
Firstly, apologies for length; If I were him I would lean more on being related to The King (his singing abilities actually give a little bit of inherited trait argument, though ironically I suspect more people would flip tables about that claim...) Since I can't see your source, and admittedly I am not personally invested enough to track it down myself, (though for the record I in no way doubt your professional credentials - I would *never* do that and want to prevent my next portion to be misconstrued as doing so) I'm a skeptic regarding family trees - especially due to personal experience reviewing others and especially my own, typically constructed before the golden era of ancestry and other similar dotcoms... Things get murky even if documents exist (which I've found to be rare in the cases of celebrities and ones created and passed down by an individual family archivalist, typically a layman who 'traced their history as far back as...') this leads to forms of heritage "lore" that creates confusion and/or contradiction when explored externally. Or the documents are inconclusive, incomplete, have potential counter documents - even in our 'modern' era. There was a situation where an in-person request was made at the records office for one of my grandfather's official documents; after a rigorous search via the computer the clerk went to the cabinet and produced the only document the state had as proof that he ever existed - his death certificate. My grandmother was horrified. Luckily she did not have a heart attack because he had gone with her. But it was indeed *his* death certificate with his full unique name, SS, location and date of birth, and, obviously, cause, time and date of death - twenty years prior. He was *very* much alive when this happened (something the clerk was foolish enough to try to argue with him about when he was concerned about his wife's emotional state) until he provided all the evidence necessary *and more* and they have been planning to present in order to get what they had originally requested. (Tangentally he wasn't even in the area documented at the time the DC recorded. It also made a bizarre mess when he *did* die 15 years after their visit... 35 years after the "first" time.) Myself as an example: the main archivalist for my family tree, on her side, was my great-grandmother. Due to her generation, the era, and technology all was done "by hand" (e.g public records, documents, ect) before my mother was even born. This was a passion project for her and obviously a painstaking process she spent at least 3 decades on. *Yet* - despite it accepted as the complete 200+ years of history on the subject there were *glaring* issues: - many of my great aunts and uncles (her own children) were not included. No falling out or animosity there was no reason for this omission. - "Family Mythos" without disclosing too much that would partially dox me (and unfortunately omitted is more related to your original comment) many incredibly well-known names are on the list but the claim that cannot stand up to any scrutiny is "also from direct descendants of Jesse James" - who had *no* children. TLDR: IMHO, when it comes to public figures making public statements especially to get a certain amount of personal gain *especially* if the gain is at a personal and most likely financial expense of the tremendously underprivileged when the individual is exact opposite *and* what they're claiming is something verifiable for any middle-class household (and all that concerns you about being of The People is putting their name in your mouth - not even lineage, history, or culture?) - DNA or it didn't happen. If Susan up the street was able to mail in a swab and hair sample to get a full profile in 3 weeks (and 1/2 the people I know have done the same thing for their *dogs* to determine their mix and they're on SS) - I think Ken can get a panel run.
@@thelibrariansupermanny I appreciate you reading all of that. I know the formatting was a nightmare and many of the segue examples I gave are things/scenarios you're probably quite familiar with (once again you're the professional I am not) and therefore likely didn't require 1/10th of the detail provided. Also I must say that was very fast tracking on his family tree and great summary.
I feel like he kinda knows that but like kinda just embraced it. I don’t condone his actions or how he gets his money, but I kinda admire his gumption to just lean into his own weirdness 😂
Ha! Like you pretty much. Cuban dad, born in PR, American mom. Raised in mostly Cuban and PR community then Spain and learned English from mom. I have a non regional accent like mom. Never heard anybody talk with that accent. My dad always complained about Scarfaces accent cause he, too, was a Cuban refugee.
Not Cuban but grew up in South Florida with a lot of Cubans…I don’t know WHAT that is…Its like he watched the Godfather and tried to fake mixing it with some kind of vaguely Hispanic accent taken out of a book with accent marks
"I don't do payroll, my heavenly father does payroll." I must assume that the heavenly father also took care of permitting, taxes, and whatnot too, then.
I’m just at the beginning of this video making this comment, BUT, why is it that when white people claim to have Native American ancestry it’s ALWAYS Cherokee?
Because part of the Cherokee nation helped the Confederacy during the Civil War because they promised to protect their land rights if they won (modern day Tennessee and Wilson Lake Valley) that then caused lots of Cherokee and Chickasaw to marry into or be 🍇 ed into white southerner’s families that and close relationships with French,Dutch and British settlers during the War of 1812 especially amongst translators and linguists where they also again married into European families…so that is why lots of white southerners claim that they are 1/25 Cherokee or have a “full blooded great great great great grandfather".
Indigenous person here who has been part of the First Nation tribes for a long time: it's also because of a long-standing myth that "Cherokees had pale skin blonde hair and blue eyes" which is also why you hear Karen's say stuff like 'my great-grandmother was a Cherokee princess'. If you haven't hang out underneath the Mason-Dixon line for a while... You will.
Because you could literally buy membership to the Cherokee nation at one point and it's such a large nation that it's kinda hard to find out if it's actually true.
@@NUFAN1313 well his story about not getting results regarding having indigenous bloodline in DNA testing is *not* true (at least today) - considering the grants and government initiatives for people of heritage and the % requirement it takes more than a birth certificate, being a tribe member, or "trust me bro". (Mostly because they don't want to actually give out the reparation 'benefits' at all.)
So what I’m learning is KC wanted to be an actor but he got turned down so he devised a plan to make enough money to buy his way into playing whatever character he wanted whether that’s Wild West anti hero or reformed Cuban gangster.
Kenneth Copeland wants to be a badass tough guy but that’s not really in the Bible. So he has to make these corny ass movies to flex his toxic masculinity but with an Christian veneer slapped on top.
I think he just doesn't say no to roles anymore. Just to be fair to him, he's been nominated for multiple Golden Globes and got a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for Runaway Train in 1985. He is a good actor but...I'm pretty sure he knew this wasn't an Oscar nomination part.

09:00 as soon as you mentioned Kenneth's supposed "Indigenous" ancestry I just KNEW it would be Cherokee. I worked for a museum of Indigenous history, and if I had a nickel for every guest who, unprompted, told me they were Cherokee, I would have been able to quit that job and retire comfortably. Certainly some folks are/were, and who knows what's up with Kenneth, but it sure is the go-to "tribal affiliation"
@@phoenixfritzinger9185which is crazy, because these people could have easily gotten Trejo for like, fifty bucks and a plate, instead of whatever tf Copeland is doing.
I have 3 job interviews this week. Prayers appreciated if that's your thing. Good vibes appreciated. I think I will definitely treat myself with a Fundie Fridays hoodie when funds allow 💗💗
This is so interesting, because of course Latin communities have a long-standing historic tradition of Catholicism, and somehow a Christian pastor writing a story about them completely bungles the Catholic aspect of each character and their relationships.
His accent sounds like he assumes all Latinos are L.A. Chicanos. You'd think someone with a net-worth of at least $300 million could hire a dialect coach.
@@TaurusWitch29 As someone that makes "eggshell" look dark (despite having the most 'BIPOC' hair experiences) I don't assume lineage, I just call it as-is.
I think one of the most harmful ideas these movies (and many pastors) perpetuate is that you become a good person when you become a Christian. I work in a drug and alcohol rehab and have worked with gangsters, perpetrators of domestic violence, crimes I don’t even want to write here. And most of them identified as Christians the whole time. They (people who make movies like this) just make it seem like it’s so simple, but people are complicated. Also thank you for what you said about addiction recovery. It is very difficult but also very possible. If anyone reading this needs help there is so much support out there. ❤
My favorite streaming service is Tubi Full of Demons (also YES my local mall had a c28, or maybe it got rebranded as notw by my time. I remember getting shirts from them for Christmas in middle school!)
I worked in a C28. Sucked as much as any other retail job. But with the added guilt/stress of being required to 'evangelize' to strangers. Ended up quitting after a male coworker harassed me. He, of course, was never reprimanded.
0 shame to Mandy Patinkin but Kenneth’s accent sounds like he watched the Princess Bride before filming and went completely off of Inigo Montoya and only Inigo Montoya.
And father of Emma Roberts! And star of many many so bad they're good movies like the LMN "Stalked by my doctor" series which I think is currently five flicks and counting... No one does a cheesy made for TV villain like our Eric! (edit: Just saw you also noted Emma, sorry!)
My youth group used to pray outside of C28 and ask for the Hot Topic to go bankrupt (which was across from each other). Wild to see them plugged in the middle of this movie.
If you bought something in the store, you could select one of three Christian charities that the store would make a donation to. I always chose the cleft pallet surgery fund. And the cashier checking you out would ask if you wanted them to pray with you or if they could add your prayer requests to a prayer board so each transaction to so fucking long…
So my 3 degrees from Kenneth Copeland happens to be that Manifest rapper for the sequel. He came all the time to my 35,000 population small town (Moose Jaw) Saskatchewan and performed at the Christian youth (Chem free) drop in center, called Joe's Place. He would play for like max 50 kids, 14 volunteers, and like 5 staff. He was really nice to the kids and made a point to check in with them yearly and hear updates. Genuinely a nice guy. *ps I saw him probably 5 times over 5 years both as a youth and volunteer.
This movie has a really interesting mash up of like Italian Mafia and Latin gangs that just shows how these guys don’t know squat about how these types of organizations work. (My knowledge base is that I’ve watched the Insider ‘how crime works’ interviews.) They really said “Godfather but in LA’. Like they’re not going to actually reach anyone with a shitty movie that essentially makes fun of the gang lifestyle.

@@nonameface90 Let There Be Light is basically one of those books written by a kid who claims to have seen heaven while dying briefly, but it's a vanity project starring a fully grown Kevin Sorbo and for some reason with a Sean Hannity cameo.
It’s been so crazy watching your channel and confidence as a creator grow❤ you set a good example for others in the fundie snark content community and treat your video subjects with respect they often don’t deserve. You and James have done a lot of good with your little corner of the internet❤
I got an ad for a pastor selling his sermons on DVD when I clicked on this…. And I didnt even realize you weren’t gonna come on to talk about it for a couple minutes. Until my brain went “I thought this was about Kenneth Copeland” 😂😂😂
you should consider making digital copies of all the obscure media you have, either just to have or to upload to internet archive (you’d have to check the rights though)
I wonder how much the Latino actors were actually offended by Kenneth Copeland’s stereotypical “Cisco Kid” throwback accent and just couldn’t say anything…
“What’s even lower than that?! A Roku movie??” Hey now, the second Weird Al movie came out first on Roku, so that’s slander against our Lord and Savior Alfred Yankovic. /j 😂😂😂
This is the most painful FF's video ever. Dear lord I can't believe you made it thru the entire movie. I almost didn't make it thru the video. I stick it out for you Jen. You shouldn't have to suffer alone. 😂
There's very little art or creative media that i think adds nothing to the world by existing but I think these two movies are probably in that category. The only good that came out of then existing was this live stream. Which was a nice way to spend a Saturday night.
I am one of the few people in the world who has THREE copies of The Rally AND was in attendance at the ✨red carpet premiere✨ for The Rally LA at that conference in 2016 (weird flex, ik, but the premiere and second movie were so strange and self-satisfied I might as well talk about it). I'm sad to hear you had such a hard time getting a copy, I wish I could've pawned one (or two or three) copies off on you. (Seriously tho, my grandma was one of those little old ladies and I would love to get rid of them but don't want them hurting anyone susceptible to their BS.)
Kenneth Copeland's face reminds me of the carved coconuts for sale in Costa Rica, and Thailand. Little blue jewel eyes in an immobile coconut skull. I KNOW, I know that's an ad hominem but I can't get past it. Forgive me.
Eric Roberts is Julia Roberts' brother. He got into drugs and had a rough time, and never recovered his career. Dark Knight cameo was during one of the phases where he was trying to get back in the industry.
This video is a nice reminder to get writing that screenplay or novel you're scared of messing up, because these movies look fucking horrendous and they still got made 💙
Kenneth Copeland's fake accent sounds like Michael Scott pretending to be Greek.
I seriously thought he was trying to sound like Don Vito until Jen said he's supposed to be Cuban. 😅
Yea he sounds like my uncle.... We are mexican 😂😂

He's one dark dude. Crazy Eyes has got some issues, his soul is as black as his eyes 🙁
This is so interesting, because of course Latin communities have a long-standing historic tradition of Catholicism, and somehow a Christian pastor writing a story about them completely bungles the Catholic aspect of each character and their relationships.
His accent sounds like he assumes all Latinos are L.A. Chicanos. You'd think someone with a net-worth of at least $300 million could hire a dialect coach.
the equally dumbass people around him were probably like You’re SOOO GOOD AT IT 🤪
They probably did and this is still the best he could do lol
@@Ghost-lt4sfeven if they weren’t going to call out the racism or the badness, they could have at least told him it was making him inaudible
His dialect coach is Jesus. lol
His ego forbids it. This is giving The Emperor Has No Clothes
Nettie is like if you hired your mom to be your hype man.
Also also why is this toasted saltine doing a terrible Danny Trejo impression? 😭
EXACTLY!!!!
He is doing a Danny Trejo impression
@@phoenixfritzinger9185 Thank you for confirming it's not just me.
Toasted saltine 😂💀🙌
@@TaurusWitch29 As someone that makes "eggshell" look dark (despite having the most 'BIPOC' hair experiences) I don't assume lineage, I just call it as-is.
After that accent you know I'm beginning to suspect that Copeland might not be woke.
😂
PLEASE
He's totally doing Pacino in Scarface, which I'll remind you is not the kind of movie a good Christian like him should be watching.
Yeah, I think you may be right.
Like that watermelon comment???
I think one of the most harmful ideas these movies (and many pastors) perpetuate is that you become a good person when you become a Christian. I work in a drug and alcohol rehab and have worked with gangsters, perpetrators of domestic violence, crimes I don’t even want to write here. And most of them identified as Christians the whole time. They (people who make movies like this) just make it seem like it’s so simple, but people are complicated.
Also thank you for what you said about addiction recovery. It is very difficult but also very possible. If anyone reading this needs help there is so much support out there. ❤
My favorite streaming service is Tubi Full of Demons
(also YES my local mall had a c28, or maybe it got rebranded as notw by my time. I remember getting shirts from them for Christmas in middle school!)
Rick & Nettie remind of the summer camp directors in The Addams Family Values
Eric Roberts works like there’s a curse that will end him if he ever stops.
The accents were so uncalled for 😭
His eyes are just so unsettling. Also, your commentary had me absolutely dying of laughter which I’m sure my neighbors appreciated😅
Woot! The Wichita Slim video you did was one of my favorites
The fact that the pre-movie specials were filmed inside a private jet 😭
Lol, why does a Cuban dress like a Hollywood Italian mobster trying to mimic a Mexican accent?
I worked in a C28. Sucked as much as any other retail job. But with the added guilt/stress of being required to 'evangelize' to strangers. Ended up quitting after a male coworker harassed me. He, of course, was never reprimanded.
I love how he had to do that little speech from his private plane! 🤣🤣🤣 He’s so ridiculous.
Kenneth Copland has a very intense stare. I feel like he doesn't blink enough.
Kenneth Copeland is so scary, he should do more villain work. Oops, that's his ministry.
C28: “it’s not a retail store, it’s a relationship.”
😂
0 shame to Mandy Patinkin but Kenneth’s accent sounds like he watched the Princess Bride before filming and went completely off of Inigo Montoya and only Inigo Montoya.
wtf is eric roberts.. as in julia roberts BROTHER… as in emma roberts FATHER doing in this friggin movie
He's been blacklisted by Hollywood. Julia has a beef with him.
@@visaman interesting… what did he do to get blacklisted?
And father of Emma Roberts! And star of many many so bad they're good movies like the LMN "Stalked by my doctor" series which I think is currently five flicks and counting... No one does a cheesy made for TV villain like our Eric! (edit: Just saw you also noted Emma, sorry!)
That is a cartoon version of an Latin gangster. He looks like he's playing Tom Skerritt playing a C-movie gangster because he has bills to play.
My youth group used to pray outside of C28 and ask for the Hot Topic to go bankrupt (which was across from each other). Wild to see them plugged in the middle of this movie.
If you bought something in the store, you could select one of three Christian charities that the store would make a donation to. I always chose the cleft pallet surgery fund. And the cashier checking you out would ask if you wanted them to pray with you or if they could add your prayer requests to a prayer board so each transaction to so fucking long…
As a Hot Topic girlie this is killing me
@@Silvermoon424me too!
Praying for Hot Topic’s downfall is SO funny 😂😂😂
They have a lot in common with the goth kids on South Park. The goth kids were a lot more effective though since they just burned the store down lol
It's Kenneth Copeland mimicking Scott Hall as Razor Ramon
Fundie Fridays acknowledged me☝️😂
Actors are allowed to do accents but this qualifies as neither an actor or an accent lolol
How kind of god to not only resurrect Copelands character, but also fix up his shirt for him!
Watching this while I was cutting vegetables with a towel over one shoulder was a bit of a trip. 😅🤣
So my 3 degrees from Kenneth Copeland happens to be that Manifest rapper for the sequel. He came all the time to my 35,000 population small town (Moose Jaw) Saskatchewan and performed at the Christian youth (Chem free) drop in center, called Joe's Place. He would play for like max 50 kids, 14 volunteers, and like 5 staff. He was really nice to the kids and made a point to check in with them yearly and hear updates. Genuinely a nice guy.
*ps I saw him probably 5 times over 5 years both as a youth and volunteer.
The moustache airplane nonsense was so cringe, oh my god who let him release that to the world
God did! 🤣💀
This movie has a really interesting mash up of like Italian Mafia and Latin gangs that just shows how these guys don’t know squat about how these types of organizations work. (My knowledge base is that I’ve watched the Insider ‘how crime works’ interviews.) They really said “Godfather but in LA’. Like they’re not going to actually reach anyone with a shitty movie that essentially makes fun of the gang lifestyle.
“They do all the crime.” -Said in the same tone as these celebrities in Open Door AD: “They do *all* the landscaping.” 😂😂😂
Love your eyeshadow so much. Your videos have really helped me with my mental health the last few weeks.
Hope you have had brighter days since you posted 😊
@@sunnymeadow575 That is *so* lovely of you, thank you!! The last couple weeks have been like a car rolling over an embankment. Just waiting for the standstill. Your comment made my week. 🩵
@@Loren641 sometimes life feels like that! Just when you think you can't handle another thing, you get thrown another curveball. It's ok to just tread water sometimes. Hang in there :)
@@sunnymeadow575 My father has always said you meet nice people in nice places. Your support proves him correct. 🩵
Omg went to turn on a vid to listen to in my shower and I caught the premiere. Queeennnnn Reverend Jen. Yasss
Copeland wanted to be an actor and couldn't make it in Hollywood, so he took the easy route and became an Evangelical preacher.
I’m literally 15 seconds in and all I can think is “this has to be a deep fake”.
I don’t believe it is considering the length of the video so damn. What the hell am I in for?! He’s a freakin psycho 🤣
Something in my heart tells me you guys would nail a video about Kevin Sorbo and his oeuvre.
Oh YES PLEASE!!!! I will be in first row
@@nonameface90 Let There Be Light is basically one of those books written by a kid who claims to have seen heaven while dying briefly, but it's a vanity project starring a fully grown Kevin Sorbo and for some reason with a Sean Hannity cameo.
@@jessmstephens Jen's narration would be perfect for this. I hope FF will consider :)
It’s been so crazy watching your channel and confidence as a creator grow❤ you set a good example for others in the fundie snark content community and treat your video subjects with respect they often don’t deserve. You and James have done a lot of good with your little corner of the internet❤
“God told my grandfather to tell you that you should make a movie about a crime boss who turns to god” I’m 😭
I got an ad for a pastor selling his sermons on DVD when I clicked on this…. And I didnt even realize you weren’t gonna come on to talk about it for a couple minutes. Until my brain went “I thought this was about Kenneth Copeland” 😂😂😂
The Rally (2010) is giving watered down Breaking Bad (2008)… and Kenneth Copeland is a born again Gustavo.
Copeland's eyes are bone chillingly creepy. 😳
His accent reminds me of the South Park episode when Cartman play the Hispanic teacher. "how do I reach these kids" lol
The FUNGI FRIDAYS SHIIIIIIRT???? 😍😍😍
Kenneth Copeland has creepy eyes. Like they are staring into your soul to read your memories without consent
the noises kenneth makes while being shot sound like a very old dog trying to force a poo out and i CANNOT stop hearing that instead of a man dying
Everytime I see a Kenneth video I just think man he just should’ve perused music 😭😭 his voice is great we could’ve done without his personality 😭🤣
He could have made a good living as a gospel singer, but his ego required him to be a charismatic scammer
you should consider making digital copies of all the obscure media you have, either just to have or to upload to internet archive (you’d have to check the rights though)
They could afford a private jet, but not a dialect coach.
There is a fine line between acting and offensive parody
“We don’t do payroll. God does payroll” is wilddddd
I wonder how much the Latino actors were actually offended by Kenneth Copeland’s stereotypical “Cisco Kid” throwback accent and just couldn’t say anything…
It's funny Eric Roberts is also in The Righteous Gemstones, the entire premise of which makes fun of people like Kenneth Copeland
The dialogue changing being them literally just doing improv😭😭😭😭
To quote The Drowsy Chaperone - "He truly was the man of a thousand accents. All of them insulting."
“What’s even lower than that?! A Roku movie??” Hey now, the second Weird Al movie came out first on Roku, so that’s slander against our Lord and Savior Alfred Yankovic. /j 😂😂😂
This is the most painful FF's video ever. Dear lord I can't believe you made it thru the entire movie. I almost didn't make it thru the video. I stick it out for you Jen. You shouldn't have to suffer alone. 😂
Jen this makeup look is so cute on you!! It matches with your hair and everything!!!! I went all heart eyes when you cut to it!!!
The accent sounds more like he’s trying to do Marlon Brando in “The Godfather”…?
Does anyone else hear how much his daughter sounds like the Duggar girls?
She sounds like teenage Jinger Duggar 😅
…that fundie mama/trad wife voice.
It’s the praying and out of breath in the airplane scene😂😂😂 like did we miss the marathon he ran?
Ken's gangster character looks like a rip-off of Al Pacino's and Robert De Niro's characters in Scarface and Goodfellas respectively.
Totally agree 💯
There's very little art or creative media that i think adds nothing to the world by existing but I think these two movies are probably in that category.
The only good that came out of then existing was this live stream. Which was a nice way to spend a Saturday night.
We should make satire promotional art for their movies and brand it as fundie Fridays
It's getting me through a boring Monday morning at work!
let’s fill this upcoming week with queer joy ❤ you’re loved. you’re needed. thanks for being here.
OMG m from Orange county CA and there's still SO MANY notw stickers all over 2000s cars 😂😂
Every time I think that he can't stoop any lower or get any more ridiculous. I find myself being blown away.
I am one of the few people in the world who has THREE copies of The Rally AND was in attendance at the ✨red carpet premiere✨ for The Rally LA at that conference in 2016 (weird flex, ik, but the premiere and second movie were so strange and self-satisfied I might as well talk about it). I'm sad to hear you had such a hard time getting a copy, I wish I could've pawned one (or two or three) copies off on you. (Seriously tho, my grandma was one of those little old ladies and I would love to get rid of them but don't want them hurting anyone susceptible to their BS.)
I love all the new designs, and I appreciate the relationship you have with your artists!
Oh! Rick is the guy Joey Tribbiani lost the role of Al Pacino’s butt to! (sorry, my millennial is showing)
That's so funny. I'm the youngest of the Gen Xers. I never missed an episode of Friends 😅
Kenneth Copeland's face reminds me of the carved coconuts for sale in Costa Rica, and Thailand. Little blue jewel eyes in an immobile coconut skull. I KNOW, I know that's an ad hominem but I can't get past it. Forgive me.
“Thays n dey bihbel.” - Cuban Kenneth Copeland
Just wanted to note how beautiful your (mostly) make-up-free face looks in the beginning! Your make-up is also always stunning too. 💜
Your eyeshadow is so SHARP and VIVID. how do you do this MAGIC ❤?????
Eric Roberts is Julia Roberts' brother. He got into drugs and had a rough time, and never recovered his career. Dark Knight cameo was during one of the phases where he was trying to get back in the industry.
The merch designs are incredible! I had to pause and immediately order the Fungi Fridays shirt.
Dude, I used to watch Kenneth Copeland’s westerns when I was young and they were actually good to me… As a young person. I would love to revisit them
👁⭕👁 - I need him to stop staring at me like that, please.
