Dec 2019 What I love about all the 9 & 10 year old comments is that people think they are replying to each other, but they are actually making new comments.

Hello to the late 2019 herd
This was before the office, but back in the 80s/90s there were a lot of documentaries that were set out in that way, Gervais is just using them as a basis.
That's what struck me, too. I'm a bit surprised, having thought that Gervais' idea was original. Take away the costumes and it would be the Office, completely.
When I first saw the Office those kind of documentaries were so common I thought I was watching a real one, until I thought "this guy can't be for real" it was brilliant. Same with The Day To Day, there was a moment when I thought I was watching a genuine news programme. I think it was the explosive dogs news item I tuned in on and it was just on the edge of credible. I suppose now we have streaming channels those magic moments when we land on a channel mid-programme and take a moment to orientate to what it is you are watching will never happen again.
@@ComicGladiator hmmm,so Jesus never prayed nor did he ever give thanks? Let's see,so the last supper whwn he broke the bread and lifted up the cup to give thanks that never happened neither did he pray when he was on the cross,right!
I was immediately aware that this was not the real "Lord Jesus Christ", when he did not pray before taking a bite of his sandwich, nor did he pray over the plastic spider to bring the breath of life into its lifeless body...then command it to go in peace, and wash in the river Jordan to recieve its sight, but to tell no one how he recieved his new life and restored sight.

I watched Big Train back when it was originally on air. I was young but I have always understood great comedy. Like Brass Eye, Alan Partridge, Father Ted, an unseen episode of BigTrain was genuinely exciting. You had no idea what was coming. Miss it. Miss great comedy.
I bet all those saying this is boring must like Little Britai, Catherines Tate (especially the "am I bovvered though") Lee Evans and the like This is subtle situalionalism and is welcome when most comedy (See aforementioned comparison) is obvious, gimmicky catchphrase led lowest common denominator driven tat.The fact that Tramadol Nights or Kevin Bishopwas ever given a slot is testament to the tragedy I lament. HOwever, when I hear guys like Doug Stanhope I know that there is a chance for us!
The Bible does describe Satan as being the ruler of this world. One example is in Mathew 4 is where Satan offers to give to Jesus all the kingdoms of the world.

"You've always got an answer, haven't you?"
"No."
😅
😂😂😂
I like that Jesus would still give him a reference.
He is Jesus, after all.
Well he's a pretty nice guy.
Well, they are brothers
@@marianadesilva9174 ...?
no
He's known for his forgiving nature ;p
So much for forgiving seventy times seven, eh Jesus?
One of the funniest sketches ever. I love Big Train.
Geez you are HOT!!💥
I love how he says I'm sacked
very brent like..
Don't worry, Old Beelzebub will always have a job in Politics.
I heard he'd quit politics because it had gotten too dirty. "I have some standards you know!" says Devil.
Why have I never seen this show before it’s great
Gervais I think (effectively) got his inspiration for his tv series office from this clip. Some words, phrases and lay out seem so similar
1:40 I always thought that was very Brent
yeah wow this is David and his bosses' entire relationship in a nutshell

I think some inspiration may've also come from the sketch in The Day Today also named "The Office".

They would kill jesus if he visited israel today.
And then call him a terrorist.
@@alikool0001 isnt Jesus the messiah israel was looking for? just questioning

This show was gold
Not give him another chance, give him other 490 chances😆, dig the hole by yourself🤣

5 out of 5.
😂
Thank you RUclips big time for this recommendation.
Ha ha! Big Train was always great. This sketch was a lot "The Office" like wasn't it? I know it was pre-Office though.
Yep Ricky and said there isn't one original idea in the office lol, this must be where they got it from

Hello to the late 2019 herd
People were replying to each other by making another comment, there was no reply system, so they just mark them down.
@SuperKratosgamer You're right. I remember that RUclips from a decade ago.
This was before the office, but back in the 80s/90s there were a lot of documentaries that were set out in that way, Gervais is just using them as a basis.
Gervais is not using a thing, he did not even thought about it.
That's what struck me, too. I'm a bit surprised, having thought that Gervais' idea was original. Take away the costumes and it would be the Office, completely.
no gervais nicked it like he nicks everything, overrated arseall

“Do not use God’s name in vain”
A one minute sketch dragged over three
Does Jesus have a Human Resource to go to?
God 😘🕊🌳
My favourite line is 'it won't be a glowing report', when talking about giving a reference, unlike the glow from the fires in hell it would seem.
Ohhhh that's pushing the boundaries
Pre The Office - think about that
Ok……………….
@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 Yeah but for clarity the English version with Ricky Gervais
Hell is other people! 🤣🤣
Hey, is that Graham Lineham as the interviewer?
His English is pretty good . Thank you uk for teaching the almighty.
Jesus got nailed to a cross; didn't even put up a fight. He's hardly mighty.
Graham Linehan! It's Graham Linehan's voice! *bows*
I'm pretty sure that the guy speaking to Jesus off-camera is Graham Linehan.
waldron76 You are correct
Chris Morris narrates the "Artist Formerly Known As Prince" sketch
waldron76 graham linehan was the guy who was the focus for hbomberguy’s livestream right
Friggin genius.
It s just a banter jesus !
Good luck to him, I think he can find another posistion
I’m sacked 😂😂😂
When Jesus was stil nkjust bruhmm. His crown XD this is so funny
I think it was Milton that described Satan in those terms, not the Bible. People confuse them all the time.
And gentlemen, we present to you, congress. :)
I think we all know where Satan went to work next.
I never knew Jim was Jesus 😮
lolx how can they keep a straight face :D
The dryness is giving me anxiety!
FUNNIER WITHOUT LAUGH TRACK!!
"The office" was orignally on Chris Morris's the day to to, check it out its jokes, Steve coogan as a butcher
Satan found a job with a rival company
That also explains how people live their life nowadays and just dont care
Neat!! Good job, awesome! Know one died! brilliant
But that's Brian from Spaced! I need to watch this show :D
Haha spaced was the best
God, Mark Heap!
the devil looks cute
91 people don't understand comedy unless it has a punchline.
Not sure that's why people are disliking it. We get it, you think you have a superior sense of humour.
But in reality it is always the other way around .. Jesus getting sacked .. you got it wrong!
Jesus has a Visit Israel poster in his cubicle.
Jesus didn't give thanks before eating.
@Zend Avesta Jesus always gave thanks to his father.
@@cuqiie1 "Thank you me, for this sandwich."

Why because evil always loses
From a book written (and rewritten) by humans , a long time ago
Go on , humour me !
I dont remember reading this on the bible
It was 'in' the Bible, that's why you missed it.
It's all in there. Read it again.
this isn't Big Train, it's Horrible Histories.
No, it isn't.
Rob Fraser *sarcasm
Just noticed that's Graham Linehan doing the interviewing.
Before his breakdown
@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 He's not had a breakdown. He's campaigning for what's right against this trans-waffle.
So under ‘strengths’ you’ve put ‘accounts’.
Don't worry - you won't go to hell as it doesn't exist.
I was hoping to see him get a job in the government as that would have been a great end to the sketch.
Is that mr bean laugh
I think it is, actually. Well spotted.
can anybody give me the Engsub?
thanks so much.
I thought this was very clever because it presented Jesus as a decent, dignified guy.
Sarah Sherwood we all know a satan.
@@Delta-ei7im you can say that again
dude i thought the same thing!!!! so feel better about your comment.
It's probably based on the Devil, there.
I like Jesus
The Eyes of this Jesus are amazing but the real conversation between Jesus and Satan are more Epic and no Comedy!!!
Bit of an exorcism.
Jesus could do well with beige knickers not dark 😮💨
I like jesus more than anyone else😍
was it "Big train" that had christ in the desert being tempted by the devil- by popping bubble wrap and the air seal on coffee jars?
mrspivvy that was the Mary Whitehouse Experience, I think.
Jesus

Very mild. Can't help but think this could have been a lot better.
They seem to have done it first, and inspired other people worked out how to do it better over time.
10/10 comedy.
A vit like some of the sketches in Fist of fun.
haha yeah I wonder which came first
hahaha ah ah this video is a good time video
Jesus make angry
Haha sorry. Bad day I guess hahaha.
I’m gonna go God
lol
Jesus is British
Ah, source material for RG unearthed!!
Merci Jésus
The whole point of this sketch is the reveal of the devil, i wish you'd just titled it as "jesus office boss" or something
(😊🙏🏻I Love Papa jesus 💚😇)
