In God We Trust (or Give Me that Prime Time Religion), the Marty Feldman classic

Back on DU2, we were chatting about this gem. The closest we came was a used VHS tape. Now it is out on Vimeo/Youtube. This movie really captures the evangelist bullshit culture of forty years ago. And Marty Feldman's slapstick and physical humor is not to be missed.

Are there any other Louise Lasser fans here?

I still get a laugh out of "Armageddon T. Thunderbird" played by Peter Boyle. Andy Kaufmann stole the show, though. Enjoy

That user has a large number of Marty Feldman videos up. I don't know how to determine. If the host was the studio, I would think it was official. enjoy

I haven't seen that movie since the first theatrical run but some of the lines have stuck with me.

This is just all kinds of awesome.

As an aside, has there ever been a more stupid motto? I mean seriously, what does that even mean?
