The Junior Christian Science Bible Lesson

Religion can turn some people crazy, and some people, well, they were just crazy to begin with.

Case in point, David Leibe Hart. You may know him from two episodes of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! He's the guy with the puppets who sings. What most of us that don't live in or around Los Angeles don't know is that hes had a show out there on cable access for nearly 20 years.

This show....I really don't know what to say about it. I think if someone were doing it with the intent to be funny it'd be horrible. It is honestly nothing short of spectacular, though I'd suggest watching it in short bursts. A full hour might kill you.

This clip from Screenwipe(still the best show you've never heard of, all 5 seasons are on youtube) describes it very well, and most of my thoughts only echo Andy Nyman's. So instead of ripping off every word he says, I'll just link the video.

The best part about it is that there are hours of this stuff online. 20 minute segments of a puppet and an old man sitting reading the bible aloud, much like you would in 4th grade when you go around the room reading from a text book. Its also just as exciting. Boring as those clips may be, you can't help but to be fascinated by the absurdity of what you're watching. These are the ramblings of a mad man. A man who believes he was abducted by aliens teaching children to avoid crack cocaine.

Its outright lunacy, is what it is. And you know I don't like to over hype things in fear of letting people down, I can get carried away with how good I think something is. This is not the case with The Junior Christian Science Bible Lesson. You can't possibly set someones expectations too high, because no one has ever seen anything like this.

Examples...

- A puppet named Chip the Black Boy
- A man with a guitar that he can't play and isn't in tune
- Chip's puppet wife leaves him for another man and develops a crack habit
- Satanic clown wearing a fez playing accordion
- Everything looks superimposed over an acid trip

Clicking these links will probably be the best decision you make this month, perhaps even this year. That's saying something, we've got 11 months to go.
