I Impersonated the World's Most Successful Megachurch Pastor Joel Osteen
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 апр 2018
- Joel Osteen is one of the most famous televangelists in the world. A Houston based pastor, Joel is famous for his arena sized congregations, his globally broadcast sermons, and more recently, his refusal to open his church after Hurricane Harvey. Even Oprah is a fan. In this episode of Fame-ish, Vice meets Michael Klimkowski, a struggling comedian in LA with an uncanny likeness to the famous pastor.
After successfully crashing a sold out Joel Osteen event in 2017 in character as Joel Osteen, Michael has gained notoriety as the only Joel Osteen Pastor in the year. Will he ride this title to fame?

VICE Usa your food is fake
That's an interesting segue..
VICE BLASPHEMY
Blasphemous🙏
Mixalhs Fvs What food..oh..wait you mean the chocolate crucifixes right
An imposter impersonating an imposter. That's deep.
Imposter-ception
lol
Yeah, but he needs to do something audacious. So far, the pranking is a bit tame.
Word Unheard I don't wanna be 2008 but yo dawg!
Thought the exact same thing!!
I can see Joel saying " how dare you use my name to profit " as God rolls his eye's!
Chase Amen to that!
Eyes. Not eye's.
@@jamesprior2496 James not james
@@jamesmaynard9128 that was beautiful 👆🏽
@@spacegod2160 you are beautiful
Megachurch preachers: Have potential to be good and feed millions of starving families. Buys multiple jets and large homes instead.
Sad reality 😑
I'm wondering when y'all will make them
Because doing good with millions of dollars would be too Christian
So you absolutely have to give out every penny?
If they are Protestant based then you know it's shit.
Something is gravely wrong when you have to add "MEGA" to church.
2:04. That’s all I have to say. There’s more people in that arena listening to Joel preach about god, and not question his judgement than there would be if god himself came down and decided to preach a few hours on a Sunday
soon there will be "GIGA" church
Unless you’re MEGA Reverend John Oliver of Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption... 😉
What is wrong with it?
@Arikm7 so basiclly you went from one end of the world to the other because you have contempt for Christians especially when they organize to do a simple act such as praise God. However I'm sure you will say different. I think it is a beautiful sight and a beautiful thing to have so many Christians gathered together to praise God.
He seems like a genuinely good guy.
stranger danger yah I agree! unlike that douchebag Joel osteen
He is Osteen not so evil twin
Sebastian Tinajero LMFAO hahaha
666 likes. So ironic
I’m not clicking the thumbs up button leave it
When fake Joel saves your soul, and real Joel has you out here paper chasing.
Preach!
When the fake joel allows you in his house during a hurricane but not the real joel
Somehow fake Joel sounds more Christian than real Joel.
🤣🤣🤣😭🤣🤣😭😭😭😭🤣🤣
Are u on ur way to Church in ur pfp?
Fans cant tell the imposter from the imposter! love it
“They want the selfie, yeah they dont wanna talk about their favorite Bible verse. They just wanna get the pictures and go home”
-This is it chief, funniest part hands down
He could probably get hired on Osteen security staff as a body double. Make tons of money.
Jon honestly not a bad idea
But the Joel can get him a ticket right to the big party in the sky......
Pieter Steenkamp Yeah, sure...
We saw how well that worked for Padme's body double
Well Joel works for the evil empire so i don't think they will be trying to blow himself up any time soon.
( for anyone who misses the reference the church and the state generally share the same interests; real collusion for those who want to do useful things with their investigative time)
Yo is this foo baptizing people in echo park 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Zack W. Varela lmfaooo, i said the same shit hahahah
Zack W. Varela homie baptized ah damn chihuahua haha
my bong water is cleaner.....
Hell nah 😂😂😂
Y’all funny as fuck hahahaha
The best would be to prank the real guy, but have his real security guys in on the prank, and them escorting you into his office while kicking the real Joel out... and at the end show him it’s all a prank lol
Or not tell him it's a prank
Yes
Brilliant! That would be awesome.
Imagine if he just steals the real Joel's identity, the real Joel is on TV as the crazy impersonator while the fake Joel is the new pastor.
@@monkemode8128 how do we know they havent already switched
Is this strider Wilson?
Edit- it is, IT IS I saw my man JT Parr.
From benihanas to vice!!
Why haven't I seen this before. My stoke gauge is full
Good to see he got out of Benihanas
stoke up stokers
Stau stocked my dogs
He should also impersonate Matthew McConaughey
Linda Lindsay alright, alright, alright :D
"I m asking for beer but they got only soda"
Straight fired up for my boy Strider making it big. Stoked my favorite guest on the pod is on Vice.
my dog!
Facts I’m stoked as well
I stroked too
Facts that’s where i’ve seen his face before! Lmao it’s all so much funnier now
YO I SWEAR I HEARD HIM!
He calls himself “the fake J.O.” but he’s more real than the real J.O.
Joel only blinks a lot when he knows he's lying.
Thomas Trammell He should be blinking 24/7
Lol I see what you done there.. he always blinks a lot! 😂😂🤷
27/7
To me the creepiest thing of all is his perpetual smile.
@@PicoAndSepulveda PERPETUAL FAKE SMILE@!@
That’s Strider from going deep with chad n JT!
Check they recent videos bro! (I know this comment is old)
Strider!!
Dank
My dog!
This guy is as much Joel Olsteen as Joel Olsteen is as much a man of God.
Andrew Williams Well said.
Those pastors read too much bible script it brainwashed them, made them hallucinating
You can ask 10 pastors, at least 9 of them claiming to hear god replied them, only 1 left are still stay normal, while all the rest pastors show signs of high hallucination and paranoid effects.
@@beyonderssupreme
You can never read too much Bible.
@@beyonderssupreme They are not brainwashed, they are scammers who brainwash the dumb religious crowds.
This is too hilarious. His understanding about it all and the cult of personality is a huge plus
We all have a doppelganger somewhere
socalbby Apparently not only one either. There can theoretically be 7 look alikes.
Im sad for my doppelganger :/
I wonder if my doppelgänger has more sex then me 🤔 more cash to take to the part bash!
I have a few that I have found
i haven't seen or found any one yet
Maybe needs to smile a bit more maniacally to pull it off. And, I also see a bit of Matthew Mcconaughey in there, too.
ZombieMommy when Joel wears out Matthew is next
Just to clarify, he is not a Pastor, he is a motivational speaker, he has never been to seminary, also he preaches the "Prosperity Gospel" which is totally against Biblical Christianity ✞
Mishelved Absolutely
Mishelved I agree ☝️
Mishelved you can be a pastor without going to seminary.... you do realize that right? 4 commas in a single sentence? Smh, you need a few lessons from the grammatical gospel.
It’s sad really, too many people are blind to the reality of the false prophets in this nation
Mishelved amen
He got up stage bro🤣🤣🤣 God had a purpose for u and it was to wreck a Joel service with just a suit and a smile🤣
kevin lokits jr He works in mysterious ways 😉
😆
He waved to the cops at the stadium....they could care less. Lol
Couldn't care less. Not could.
@@jamesprior2496 why wouldn’t they care any less? 🤔
@@jamesprior2496 both are correct
@@theneification because is you “could care less” that means you actually care. It you “couldn’t care less” that means you don’t care at all. Come on....
@@stonerhenge7106 so then you CAN care less :)
Lmfao this guy, he does look just like him
not really
Especially when he smiles.
To me, he looks more like the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
A little bit kinda
Not really.
better title would have been “imposter baptizes people in echo park”
sus
You should have a borat style movie but as Joel lol
The black lady who said “that had to be him” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Plot twist:
He is actually Joel
So stoked to see my boy Strider coming up.
Who's strider ?
Strider Hiryu
I love how he's making the Joel osteen faces like he just mainlined a bunch of crank 😂😂😂
That's strider for ya, check out going deep with chad and jt they try to sneak into one of joels semilars or something.
The art of scamming 101.. but this is hilarious.
He's scamming a scammer.
Amalek ! What do you hope to fight ? Truth, Love, Peace ? No way....rather fight yourself or stop existing
"Let's go bless some people" - Michael Klimkowski 2018.
It’s 2019, bitch. Where he at?
Its definitely proof that somewhere in the world there will always be someone that looks like you.
The way those people gasp out “Joel?” when they see him coming 😂😅😂😅
He looks like a rip off Matthew McConaughey
Kyler Ford That’s exactly what I thought too
Kyler Ford You are right on the money with Matthew McConaughey!
ruclips.net/video/axHmx4JLVRI/видео.html
Only in Dallas Buyers Club though.
Alpha O'Mega I was thinking more of wolf of wall street
This guy is hilarious.....
Joel is a motivational speaker. He never preaches the wages of sin or hell.
he also really likes your money
I would be passing that collection plate around everywhere
The likeness landed in the hands of the right guy is all I can see. Would be wasted on someone without a sense of humour.
"I try to move around piously" hahahaha
You’re missing the baby eating quality that seeps out of the real guy
I never knew strider had a vice interview on this lol
Lmao stay stoked
"God wanted me to use the church money to buy a newer private Jet" - All megachurch pastors.
Alan Gonzalez I hope they enjoy the toys while the can...they will surely be called to answer for it.
He looks like Tom Holland and Benedict Cumberbatch's lovechild
Aw wadddup council. This gets me stoked
I watch this at least twice a year. Still hilarious every time.
"i get the biggest laugh i've ever had in my comedy career"
That lady's face when he said "I'm looking for a BEER"
Israel James it’s because the Bible is against drunkenness.
@@BeybladeDbzFan thanks captain obvious. I'm sure we all know that. It was just funny to watch
It probably would have been more accurate to say he was looking for some adrenochrome or something like that maybe a baby to eat because that's what they do the Satan worshippers allegedly
There’s nothing wrong with a beer
He does not sound like Joel Osteen. Michael would be really good if he put a little work into the voice.
I'm saddened that you actually know the real Joel's voice. For shame.
Dude, you have to let your hair grow a little more. Then you’ll be a dead ringer!
This is genius! You should pass an offering plate when you have a crowd gathered and then take out your wallet and start clumsily and hastily stuffing the bills into it. 😂
Love fake Joel, hate real Joel
Jesperado lmao
Kundai Mark lmao
+Constitutional. Conservative My troll senses are tingling
Jesperado fr Joel's a piece of shit.
Constitutional Conservative One of the most telling signs of Joel's true intentions comes from how he treated people in Hurricane Harvey. Not only that but his frivolous use of money and donation ticker are incredibly deceptive, tell me why he has a house worth 10.5 million dollars and doesn't instead donate that money. Why does he ask for other people to send in donations to Harvey victims instead of helping with his own funds that he clearly has. He is not a pastor looking to save people he is a con artist working to trick people into following him as if he is a celebrity.
He looks JUST LIKE that one preacher guy!
LOL
“GOD BLESS YOU “ ....... IN MY JOEL OSTEEN VOICE!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
3:15 😂😂😂 You just made my list of personal heros.
As a Christian, I find this very off...HILARIOUS! 😂😂...and real Christians know Joel is nothing but a motivational speaker.
I guess thats why they keep him well paid lmaoo
@@supremeleader9440 motivation speakers are well paid
Yeah... Like the pope
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just a motivational speaker LOL true that like Jesus just a motivational speaker no sarcasm here honest words
comedians are so pure
Comedians are dirtbags hahah. Always really nice though
Biggest test would be commandeering one of Joel's private jet for a joyride.
(never trusts the real Joel, he blinks too much)
He doesn't have a private jet.
Agree totally
He is nervous and also trying to remember his memorized message.
Keep up all the hard work man!
This man catches one hell of a W, well done sir in doing the Lord's work. Laughing is good for the soul, so as far as I can tell he's doing better than the real thing.
Absolutely hilarious, he also seems genuine and like an all around good guy.
That would be my luck to be baptized after a lifetime of sin by an imposter lol
Freakin Strider going all out with the dank impression!! I am so Stoked!!
Hilarious met this dude many times at UCB’s character open mic. Never once saw the Joel Osteen impression. Nice dude. Hilarious comedian.
I won’t lie if I was the real guy I would hire you just so I could take weeks day off
I'd watch Divorced Dad's Movie Reviews. 😂
I love him yooooooooooo he the real mvp impersonating Joel at an actual Joel event🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He looks like the dollar store version of Joel lol, hi from North Korea
We love you Michael.
LOL. I love that he pronounces it Awe-steen. That's how I'm pronouncing it from now and if someone corrects me I'ma double down, Awwww-steen?
6:00 As soon as I get out of work, I change out of my uniform and hang my Uber sign up in my car
Satisfying and mesmerising
He should get on a podcast with H3
Unicorn FUN H3 is cancer
Feels Train your existence is cancer
Rogan would be more interesting
H3 sucks
Super stoked to see my boy strider on vice
At the 3:01 mark, he’s literally within feet from the real Joel! There’s no video of him meeting the guy at the book signing????
Dude, please don't stop, this is Gold -- you can do this until that dude is old haahha, you found yourself a lifelong career. It is amazing though -- people's reactions, questions of faith and spirituality, deep topics for the best and most important comedy.
people come up to him saying wow your Joel Osteen and he just goes along with it that's hilarious
Stoked on this. Strider fricking killing it my dog
This is hilarious. God bless this young man lol
Life is one big circus act/ social experiment.

"This is about the thrill of wearing another man's skin. Feeling his innermost wants and desires and being in control of his every single move. That's how you get off. Now don't you guys want to get off with me?" - Dennis Reynolds
That quote in the beginning is my lifes motto now
To be fair I was in Houston when hurricane Harvey happen and there was no access to the church and I literally lived about 10 minutes away from the church it was really really really bad
Remember how the guests trashed the Superdome at Katrina???? Some rapes, violence and the facility was TRASHED. would you open your private asset up to that kind of liability?????????????
So a fraud copying a fraud lmao the world we live in
This dude didn't do anything fraudulent bro.. I see what you're trying to say, but fraud isn't the right word. It presumes that this innocent guy has done something wrong when he hasn't..
Jearmey Morgan he even said where is Joel's entrance lol they thought he was speaking in 3rd person
@@guzlemuzle yeah, pretty funny video really.. kind of shows how gullible and ignorant most religious people are.
Yeah like Franklin impersonating CJ 🎮😜
@@jearmeymorgan8297 No, just shows how gullible people are in general
Why dont both of you just become Tim Allen impersonators
This guy playing a reinterpretation scene of Matthew McConaughey playing Joel Olsteen. The matrix
Chad and JT got our boy out of Benihana's?! I'm feeling the stoke, no doubt no doubt!
I will never trust Joel. He shows too many teeth when he smiles.
Showing teeth is a sign of submission in primates.
It's because he has to make his Dental Arch look larger than his wife's. Otherwise people might catch on to what they really are
MelRay interesting, can you explain further what you mean? They’re both trans?
Joel Osteen was probably a Teeth model for Colgate before becoming a pastor.
He's showing off those veneers you can't afford
Rather hang out with fake Joel for sure
Real Joel probably has better drugs
A lot of you people say you hate him. But none of you say why.
He's a wolf dressed as a sheep. Discernment is a blessing.
@@trentsc4929 Well he takes no salary from the Church. He could sit at home and write books instead of preaching for free if all he wanted was money.
Android Miller
That wouldn't sell books though.
My boy Strider! Glad to see u out of Benihana!
Soo fricking dank dude
I love people with a sense of humor. dope
Strider got out of Benihana!!!

Infiltrating the Joel event... that was hilarious. ahhahaha
You running the streets would be the give away for me. I live in Houston and if Joel was in the streets people would be shocked!!!
