Enjoyed every minute of that. Milton Jones is such a funny man. And in an age where expletives and smut are the order of the day, it's a delight to enjoy his humour and not have to be embarrassed because your children or your mother are in the room with you.
Sorry to disappoint you but Mock the Week has ended. Which is a problem for a topical comedy show. You'll have to settle for repeats, and excerpts here on RUclips.
He made Mock the Week worth watching. Just for those brief unique interjections is so wonderfully funny amongst all of the unfortunate crowd who think have to swear to make people laugh. You certainly get your money’s worth with Milton.
Mate (IF there’s one thing to applaud Milton for) then it’s his authentic brand of clean witted comedy,.,. proves there’s no need for carnality. WTG Christian Soldier!!
I wonder how much his faith informs this part of his act? When I think of openly Christian comedians, Miles Jupp stands out as a comparatively sweary one. Actually, scratch that: I completely forgot about Frank Skinner 😅
Despite being an Atheist since i was 6 years old, i really enjoyed seeing and listening to the persona of Milton Jones off stage and his take on comedy and religion. Being annoyed at people with different views is a Past time now or a hobby for many. Funny is funny 😁
As an Anglican(Church Of Ireland) Christian living in Northern Ireland I must say I really enjoyed this interview with Milton Jones. I didn't know that his Mum was from Northern Ireland and belonged to the Brethren denomination. I can see where Milton is coming from when he mentions his Mother's Christian faith and the fact that he is a Christian comedian. Over here in Northern Ireland I have heard Christian Denominations and not just the Brethren saying things like"Don't do that on a Sunday* and"That type of secular entertainment is unchristian" as if the Bible is some kind of a rulebook. Anything I do is done whilst I have my Christian faith. Comedy means laughing at myself even about how I live my Christian life. Heck people of other denominations have teased me about how often us Anglicans get up and down during services. I reply by saying that we do get a GOOD work out excercise wise😅😅 I have also said"I'd better get out of this church building/hall before anybody realises that I'm an Anglican" 😅😅 Does anybody take offence? Heck NOOOO!!! I'd love to see one of Milton's shows. Any chance of him coming to Northern Ireland eg Grand Opera House, Belfast. Personally I think a writting clean comedy that you can"Tell to the Bishop" is harder. God bless you Milton.🙏
A genius comedian and an honest and brave man in such a prejudiced Godless society we have - well done Milton - I didn’t even know you were religious- this makes you even more impressive.
I've always thought that same thing about comedy. It's a weapon of truth. Comedians are able to say taboo truths out loud by making them funny. Comedy is definitely a gift from God.
In 1971, when I was 5, my father asked me what team I would support. Me, being totally disinterested in all sport, (which is why I support Arsenal, I hear you cry ! 😂) replied Liverpool. Astonished and deeply offended, my Cockney father asked WTF, Liverpool !! I replied because they play in red. My father, a keen all round sportsman, who was a boxing champion, county runner, soccer captain, rugby captain, cricket captain, and did shot putt, javelin and discus; told me that if I was stupid enough to chose a team based on the colour of the home kit, then I should at least chose a LONDON team !! Hence I ended up with Arsenal. They did the double in 1971 as well. Unable to tell you anything about football, other than they kiss each other when someone scores, and they have mixed bathies afterwards. Hence, it never appealed. Rolling around in the mud with 22 ladies, umm !
@@polythenewrappedme6102 Hi poly.I loved the interview with Milton. I'm ike you but my UNINTERESTED football team is Tottenham Hotspur. Each to their own but,for me Football, is too simple. I love things with a bit of logic and strategy eg American Football 🏈,Who Dun It's?(Agatha Christie style) movies, Time Travel movies etc Heck I even play indoor bowls for a Church club! All this and I'm 52 years,old single and living in Northern Ireland. Even though I'm not really a soccer fan I DO understand the offside and the more modern passing back to the Goalkeeper rules.😁I just don't understand ALL the talk about strategy, special effects drawing and drawing around players I see on screen by football experts(?)

Great interview. Compulsory viewing for Comedians, Religious people, & Atheists. Love & respect the Audience, they pay the rent, & forgive your imperfections if they like you.
I love Milton Jones comedy heater very talented entertainer. Also, his philosophy and faith are to be admired. Can I add to his analogy of an afterlife being the next stage in a school process? I believe it will be more than that: The world beyond is as different from this world as this world is different from that of the child while still in the womb of its mother. - Bahá'u'lláh
I would love to have the chance to have a chat with Frank Skinner, to point out to him, from Scripture, the numerous jokes being cracked by God who is so witty.
Nearly didn’t watch this as I’m really uncomfortable with mainstream religion. But this was such a great conversation. I loved what Milton said about authenticity
Bizarrely recommended by RUclips algorithms - probably because I watch a lot of Alistair Williams ... Aaaaaaaaanyway! Milton Jones is rather excellent ... plus the two charming hosts ... I subbed because of THIS show ... will be checking out other clips. Very good insight into the mind of Milton!
Thanks. Humour is indeed a gift from God. I think more could have been made of its ability to bring people together. How often can people laugh together wven when they haven't grasped the joke. It helps to undermine the pompous (think of Jesus comment about the speck and the plank mentioned by Justin when talking to Frank Skinner). It can help break down barriers. Think of the 'Chuckle Brothers', Ian Paisley and Martin McGuiness in Northern Island.

I'm on the side of the Bible being very funny, but take Milton's point that a lot gets lost in the change in culture. What about the greeting to the frightened rabbit known as Giddion,'the Lord is with you mighty warrior'. That may have required a change of pants😂
Two jokes: 1) If granny knew what we spent on her funeral, she'd turn over in her coffee can. 2) Jesus, at tomb of Lazarus: Lazarus, Come Forth! Lazarus, poking his head out of tomb: Jesus! What does a guy have to do to get some rest around here?! Cheers!
It's a true art of being a talented ,creative comedian is when comedians don't use offensive or swearing, blasphemy, bc it's a complete cop out, they'll do it just for so called laughs for their own populutartiy, it's to difficult for them to use their imagination without using the regular fowl lines.
C s lewis wrote ‘we don’t have the right to be happy’ given the reality of the world in which we live. Comedy can be seen as ignoring the issue of HOPE. In comedy there can be no hope of a solution only a belly laugh of a situation. Comedy is being amused by the flaws of humans.
This is a popular fallacy. Actually it's only in true sorrow there is no comedy. There's humour for every situation Inc heaven. Comedy is based on absurdity, paradoxes, and contradictions. The essence is often joy, though it can be mean.
People of religious faith especially within christianity that endorse laughter due to comical effects as such is btw quite the opposite of what the tenets profess. The modern "christian" approach to mediate this uncomfortably chiming issue has been to water it down (read: cherry-pick and "interpret" beyond recognition) to a whole different version of what actually is written verbatim in scripture, which proves even the openly professing believers don't really want to take the commandments, rules and demands not to mention threats within anymore seriously than say claims being left without christmas presents lest exhibiting commonly considered decent behaviour through the year. In itself it statues as solid proof for reason and reality replacing superstition and mythology as arbiters in society.
Endorsing laughter because someone is funny is against the Bible, against Jesus? Never heard that before... Not found that verse. Found hundreds of verses on joy though.
@@KJ-lb4tj Strained laughter produced when the boss demands it after telling a substandard joke doesn’t in any way equal to relaxing comedic ridicule especially towards childish and silly views upheld by consuetudinary traditions claimed immune to honest and intellectual questioning thus maintaining undeserved respect due to privilege, ie. blasphemy laws leaning on the rabble being under the surveillance of some conceived authority under pain of repercussions spite rightly deserved mockery of the same. The abrahamic god not pictured being annoyed and cross even vengeful over critical remarks and puns about itself? Never heard that before nor found that verse either but surely hundreds of edicts and what not threats about smiting of those not living in immediate fear of the despot sitting on the power though.
A comedian should do a FREE concert for then since they the public have justification to heckle you since money was exchanged, equally, a comedian can heckle an audience for liking certain jokes. And if the crowd don’t like it, move to the next village like the apostles in acts.
I don't think it was crackly. However it did have a different frequency response curve to the other two mic.s and it would have been much better if all three mic.s used were the same. However that small technical detail did not prevent me from greatly enjoying this video.
Current comedy appears to have just shifted the butt, or target of the joke from minorities, to the majority. Not sure if this is progress, or just a cultural shift? Atheists making fun of Christians, for example, is this any different from mocking other groups? To me it seems hitting the target is more important, than making people laugh and it's intent is disingenuous.
Ephesians ‘Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.’. A christian comedian should be wholly different from a secular comedian. A christian comedian should make the public uncomfortable that they are laughing at something inappropriate. A comedian is like a very clever teacher. In for a penny. Then the penny drops.
"A Christian comedian should make the public uncomfortable that they are laughing at something inappropriate". That would involve telling them something inappropriate to begin with... Such a silly comment
@@KJ-lb4tj he stands with comedy that does do obscene jokes. You miss the point. He promoted obscene jokes by not denying other comedians the right to do obscene jokes. Jesus denied his apostles certain behaviour.
@@KJ-lb4tj a christian can say ‘turn the other cheek’. That makes the audience uncomfortable. He does not need to quote secularism. He only responds to secularism when the listener interjects about the biblical reference.
Being from the age of the mother-in-law jokes, I find the ‘planting’ of the non English homosexual in a wheel chair as a completely false agenda. Certainly people of that ilk are in the British society, but their inclusion by proportion is not necessarily funny, as all they seem to talk about in their act is their ‘condition.’ Similarly with the adverts on TV. Britain is being sold out to the minorities, and as such is tending to loose much of it’s white Christian identity, which has such a lot to be quietly proud of, despite what the Woke minority would have us all believe.
You are confusing two things here. Real Christianity isn't a "white thing", after all it's the worship of a Jewish rabbi who was nailed to a cross as a trouble maker, and who was raised from the dead, and it's good news to all nations, races and tribes. One of the revolutionary things about the early church was Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor included in the same community and given equal value. Now cultural Christianity is admittedly something else entirely different but far less valuable.
I don't see how it's 'completely' false. Maybe partly because some of the comedians aren't funny - just like lots of comedians. Christian tradition does have lots to be proud of, and coming to terms with truth being told is an important part of the Christian commitment.
Christian identity is not 'white'. Christian identity is following Jesus. Jesus wasn't white by the way, but middle Eastern. You're planting a false identity.
@donepearce ah, so this is all your fault 😉. The more atheists there are, the better the country is run, the more prosperous the inhabitants, the more just the laws?
You sound like the Taliban with such prejudice - why not let the man believe what he wants? Such a fascist statement you made. And I bet you call yourself liberal! Pathetic
Sorry you're having to deal with disappointment... That must be hard for you. IQ has nothing to do with religion, except more Christians go to Oxbridge than any other universities.
@@KJ-lb4tj The smart answer is that IQ also has little to do with intelligence (see The Mismeasurement of Man by S.J.Gould). If you knew anything about academic history you would know that universities were long under the thumb of the Church (see The Warfare of Science with Theology by A.D.White) and all dons were forced to take holy orders (unless they were Jewish, in which case they were entirely barred). This has led to the misapprehension that all of those clever Oxbridge scientists and mathematicians were very devout. The syndics have made sure that little has changed.
Enjoyed every minute of that. Milton Jones is such a funny man. And in an age where expletives and smut are the order of the day, it's a delight to enjoy his humour and not have to be embarrassed because your children or your mother are in the room with you.
A genuinely funny man, a rare bird in that he's funny and uniquely himself.
Like Tim Vine. Another Christian.
Thanks for doing this..

I live in the USA and just discovered Mock the Week. Milton Jones is outstanding. I really enjoyed this discussion. Very insightful.

High praise to Milton for standing up for Christianity (and Arsenal). What a brilliant person.
We'll have to agree to disagree about Arsenal 😂

Having been born the son of a vicar, I get his point entirely about the cure before the poison.

To me it seems hitting the target is more important, than making people laugh and it's intent is disingenuous.
Ephesians ‘Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.’. A christian comedian should be wholly different from a secular comedian. A christian comedian should make the public uncomfortable that they are laughing at something inappropriate. A comedian is like a very clever teacher. In for a penny. Then the penny drops.
I think you missed the point... He doesn't do obscene jokes.
"A Christian comedian should make the public uncomfortable that they are laughing at something inappropriate". That would involve telling them something inappropriate to begin with... Such a silly comment
@@KJ-lb4tj he stands with comedy that does do obscene jokes. You miss the point. He promoted obscene jokes by not denying other comedians the right to do obscene jokes. Jesus denied his apostles certain behaviour.
@@KJ-lb4tj a christian can say ‘turn the other cheek’. That makes the audience uncomfortable. He does not need to quote secularism. He only responds to secularism when the listener interjects about the biblical reference.

This is offensive to people from Essex .
Oh, you represent everyone from Essex?!?

Unwatchable - horrible distracting pointless text on screen
Man. That was dry...,😬
If you can believe in magic, myths, and legends you’re well on your way to Christianity.
If you only believe in science, you're well on the way to depression.
The Lord will be amused at your cleverness.
Here's a Joke. "Everything in the Bible is Inerrant Word of God". Always gets a laugh.
just the bible?
A Milton joke: "When my grandfather was in hospital the nurses rubbed his back with vaseline. After that he went downhill very quickly."
Why, you old doubting Thomas you...
Considering that only fundamentalists, not mainstream Christians think that, it flies over the head of a lot of Christians.
Don't think the bible claims, or Christians, believe that. You can always console yourself that ignorance is bliss?
Came to hear from Milton. Left when you started with the Christianity nonsense.
Such prejudice you have
Milton is a Christian and it's a Christian podcast... What on earth were you expecting.
Being from the age of the mother-in-law jokes, I find the ‘planting’ of the non English homosexual in a wheel chair as a completely false agenda.
Certainly people of that ilk are in the British society, but their inclusion by proportion is not necessarily funny, as all they seem to talk about in their act is their ‘condition.’
Similarly with the adverts on TV. Britain is being sold out to the minorities, and as such is tending to loose much of it’s white Christian identity, which has such a lot to be quietly proud of, despite what the Woke minority would have us all believe.
You are confusing two things here. Real Christianity isn't a "white thing", after all it's the worship of a Jewish rabbi who was nailed to a cross as a trouble maker, and who was raised from the dead, and it's good news to all nations, races and tribes. One of the revolutionary things about the early church was Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor included in the same community and given equal value. Now cultural Christianity is admittedly something else entirely different but far less valuable.
I don't see how it's 'completely' false. Maybe partly because some of the comedians aren't funny - just like lots of comedians. Christian tradition does have lots to be proud of, and coming to terms with truth being told is an important part of the Christian commitment.
@@evanhadkins5532weird since christianity is a big lie in itself.
Christian identity is not 'white'. Christian identity is following Jesus. Jesus wasn't white by the way, but middle Eastern. You're planting a false identity.
We have managed to largely shake off superstition, and we certainly don't need it back again.
You and who else?
@@jeremywilliams5107 The rest of the UK, which is now officially a majority atheist country
@donepearce ah, so this is all your fault 😉. The more atheists there are, the better the country is run, the more prosperous the inhabitants, the more just the laws?
@@jeremywilliams5107 that is exactly how it is. Great summary
@@donepearce can you point to any previous occasions of countries run by atheists, just so we can test the hypothesis?
Milton, I will no longer be watching or listening to you again .
Not an arsenal fan?
'Re-enchanted = go back to believing in magic. No thanks folks...
May not be the best expression..
It's going around a bit at the moment and makes me grimace most of the time.
I agree. Wholly inappropriate title.
As an atheist, I find his religiosity to be a great disappointment. Everything else is so clever.
Why are you atheists so judgemental? Why can’t you just leave people to believe what they want? And I bet you describe yourself as liberal’ - pathetic
You sound like the Taliban with such prejudice - why not let the man believe what he wants? Such a fascist statement you made. And I bet you call yourself liberal! Pathetic
Sorry you're having to deal with disappointment... That must be hard for you. IQ has nothing to do with religion, except more Christians go to Oxbridge than any other universities.
@@KJ-lb4tj The smart answer is that IQ also has little to do with intelligence (see The Mismeasurement of Man by S.J.Gould). If you knew anything about academic history you would know that universities were long under the thumb of the Church (see The Warfare of Science with Theology by A.D.White) and all dons were forced to take holy orders (unless they were Jewish, in which case they were entirely barred). This has led to the misapprehension that all of those clever Oxbridge scientists and mathematicians were very devout. The syndics have made sure that little has changed.
Love his humour, but sorry, so disappointed to discover he is religious.
