Mormon style

Post by _Chap »

I am sure many readers of this forum will have seen this, since it is one of the most watched Youtube videos of all time:

Here is a Romney version which is not bad:

But this is really funny and Mormon to the eyeballs (and hence relevant to this forum) - Mormon Daddy Style:

get the line "Heeeeeey - another BABY!"

If I was a Mormon, I'd want to have that guy in my ward. Is he in yours?

Lol, that Mormon Daddy Style one was pretty funny. Some very subtle criticism of the culture buried in there too, like the fact this guy is obviously overweight but obeying the Word of Wisdom, and of course the fact he's got another baby on the way when he's surrounded by very young kinds already. For something the guy did at home on his computer the production was pretty well done.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

It left me empty and depressed. :(

Also didn't he say that when you have your tablet out you can make people think you are reading your scriptures when you are really playing a game?

That guy is a survivor.

Yeah, no doubt. By the way, after being more active on Facebook in recent months I really miss the ability to "like" something. I wish we could "like" posts on this board.

I forgot about the thing about playing games on the tablet when the wife thinks you're reading the scriptures. That's pretty funny.
