Four years ago, I found myself laughing at some satire some friends had sent to me online of The Farting Preacher, aka. Pastor Gas.
I remember watching these videos online, laughing with tears streaming down my face. The videos portray Robert Tilton, a TV evangelist in the 80′s that was caught in several scandals and been one of prime operators to give television evangelism a bad reputation of big-hair preachers convincing little old ladies to donate their last dime. It’s his kind of activity that would get Jesus overthrowing money tables.
Recently, these videos have surfaced again as I was watching them with a friend at dinner this week. To my surprise, my reaction to them has not changed. I was literally doubled-over laughing; the kind of laughing where there’s no sound coming out, I can’t breathe and my shoulders just shake.
Most people probably won’t enjoy this kind of base humor as much as I do, but I have to share anyway. Enjoy.

Oh my goodness! Totally have the tears coming out of the eyes! I’m forwarding this to a bunch of people. Thanks for the laugh!

Oh man, I don’t know when those will cease being funny, but it ain’t anytime soon. Farting Preacher 2 is still my favorite, I was crying the first 8 or 9 times I saw it I think.

Never saw this gas bag before, but I guess his “problem” should have tipped all those little old ladies off. He’s got no class!

There are two kinds of jokes that are always funny.
The poop (including farts, and anything that goes on in the bathroom) joke is one of them.

Brian…what are the other kids of jokes that are funny?
