  • right on. I mean – to the T.

    HI-larious. I’ve seen Benjamin perform at SL camp. He’s so funny.

  • c_w_s says:

    Funny…but interesting that he assumes all youth ministers are male, eh? “Got my goatee…” “Have you ever noticed that youth ministers have beautiful wives?”

    I mean, I was a youth minister and my husband is pretty hot but I don’t think he’d appreciate being called a beautiful wife. Nor would he want me to grow a goatee. 😉

  • @c_w_s I see your point. But don’t you think he’s probably just poking fun at the youth pastor stereotype in evangelical culture? That’s the flaw in satire built around stereotypes: it’s funny but never perfect.

    Pretty stinkin’ funny.

    The Irish Catholic version of this is Graham Norton’s portrayal of a youth pastor in the Channel 4’s hit show, “Father Ted.” He shows up about midway thru the episode.

    DON’T watch this around kids. They go very, very R-rated in Ireland. There’s Irish cuss words, and also a very non-titillating shot of a naked guy from behind. But then, there’s Graham Norton. Guaranteed at least a chuckle.

    I actually thought this was really funny (wasn’t planning on it) because I’ve been a youth pastor for years and he hit pretty much on the head.

    The Family Guy line cracked me up. That and the awkward side hug.

  • I think I have a new and future theme song. Not that I want to be everything described in this video, but mainly because it’s awesome! Thanks for sharing this!

    The awkward side hug! I know it well.

  • Jody Webster says:

    Awesome! From now on, I think I should play this song every time I walk on the stage to preach.

  • Olivia says:

    love it. thanks for sharing.

  • Have to agree that I LOL @ the family guy mention. AND the sidehug. We just had a hug seminar with some of the teens after service last month. And the Chris Tomlin and United mention was funny too. Thanks for sharing!
