OOF!!!!......😅🤣 Yeah I my self am Christian and I'm all for telling your problems but God knows as well as us that sometimes you need a TANGEBLE PHYSICAL voice or shoulder to cry on that talks physically to you
I guess he really should’ve remembered two age old sayings said by the grown-ups in his childhood that he clearly never learned to take to heart. “Quit crying or I’ll really give you something to cry about.” and “One rarely appreciates what one has until it is gone.”
I think it's funny how at the end showing him now, Brad says he looks like the kind of guy to hang out in a toy store not buying anything, while next to him the TV screen says, "Godloveskids.com." Yeah, I'm sure God loves kids the same way you do, Phil.
Yes. Little girls have to like She-ra instead of He-man because relating to a character is *totally* defined by having similar sexual organs and not defined by, say, similar life experiences or general empathy.
That whole "Smurfs represent death because their faces are blue" idea is what caused my mom to throw away a Captain Planet toy I got from Burger King. Couldn't explain to her that his face was blue because it was symbolic of the Earth - no, it was blue because he represented death...
I completely understand these men. I was seduced by the occultic sexiness of Skeletor for years, but the truth eventually came and set me free. Now I only worship Christmas Skeletor.
The Curious Thing is that they say Adam transforms in the He-Man It's a wimp transforming into this powerful being...... are you for real? Adam was jacked
If anything his transformation in the original series maybe alluding to the abusive young boys in the religion. He draws a phallic symbol from his backside recites his prayer/mantra and turns into the Avatar of their God/ savior basically by means of the magic energy emanating from the phallic symbol flowing in and around him.
@@funkyweapon1981 personally I prefer Shwarma, but Falafels are okay. According to people who like Falafels more than I do, the best ones are ones that have a pomegranate seed in the center, but those are harder to find.
I’m Christian. However stuff like that is what drove me away. Because parents see that and turn kids into social outcasts, I came back on my own terms not these idiots.
@@Caldella That's typical fundie Christian thinking in a nutshell... "People like this thing I don't understand and it makes me uncomfortable, so it must be Satanic."
By using their logic, Gary and Phil are promoting BDSM because they mentioned bondage in their show. It doesn’t matter if it was mentioned in a negative context, mentioning anything means that you promote it no matter what context is used.
Hello everyone. I know you're all having a good time watching this, and to be sure it is pretty funny. Lol! However, I am one of the unfortunate children that actually astro-projected myself into a Masters of the Universe action figure (It was Trapjaw). Problematically, I was never able to escape my plastic prison and have been on the run from the church authorities these past thirty-five years. I've tried blending into a new life several times, but there is only so much work for a six-inch cyborg with a laser-gun arm that doesn't actually work. Recently though, I have been touring comic-cons. I show up on a Dragon Walker and sometimes even get to ride around betwix the enormous breasts of a Lara Croft fan girl or two. All in all, life as a MOTU action figure isn't all that bad. Save for the times when that rubber cord breaks that holds my legs on and I have to wait weeks for a replacement. Anyway, excelsior!

The fun thing about the D&D bit, is that going against your players, that makes you a shit DM. You want to challenge and counter your players, make them work, but you aren't trying to "win" against them.
I am a Christian and I can't believe what I am hearing and seeing in this so called film. My parents allowed me to pursue my interests in the occult: witchcraft, ouija board, tarot, and numerology. My pastor is a Star Wars fanatic, and every Halloween he dresses up as one of the characters. These people would tell everyone in my church we were going to hell because our members include people from several different countries (some are illegal aliens), various races, same sex couples and transgendered people. And, believe it or not, we are in Alabama! I would tell the people in this movie that it is a good thing to enjoy the secular world God created for us, and God and Jesus loves everyone the same, no matter what their race, social background, politics or sexual preference. I have atheist friends and we love each other. I would never try to convert them, and they respect what I believe.We have so much in common, and never discuss religion. I am sick to death of these so called evangelists. They embarrass Christians who live in the real world, and my state.
The uncomfortable fact is that though you are a much moral person, these nutbags are actually much more faithful Christians. More liberal Christians simply cherry pick the parts of the Bible they want to follow (as any decent person would do) - but they're guilty of choosing the bits they want and ignoring the rest. The only way to not be a hypocrite is to discard the whole nasty, evil book, and live your life the way you already do, with empathy, kindness, and according to reality - without the religion.
@@cosmicmuffin322 I see it as "separating the wheat from the chaff", separating the Divine from the Demiurgic. Therefore, "cherry picking" is perfectly fine.
I've always wondered how these religious types would react to anime and the many series like Evangelion and Hellsing which uses strong religious iconography almost purely for the visual aesthetics.
@@Aging_Casually_Late_Gamer My face when I'm torn between wanting to high five someone who's heard of Bible Black and having to admit I watched that degeneracy.
I can picture them making a big that in Hellsing/Hellsing Ultimate, the Alucard is Drucula backwards, they want you to root for Dracula which is evil. Of course, Hellsing is very much not a kids franchise, but they're just out of touch enough to think anything animated is for kids.
I've noticed that "a certain demographic" is fine with using other religions as a base for fiction, whether it's Loki and Thor or Genies and Djinnn. But when another culture decides to use Christianity as a source for their fiction it's suddenly an endorsement or an attack. No middle ground and no room for inspired fiction.
This must have been before the NRA started running the Republican Party like it does now. Now these moral panic types are the ones who are pissed off because stores are removing toy guns.
As soon as he brought up the 14 day fast, that automatically told me he was insane out of hunger. I mean fuck, if I fasted for 14 days, I'd probably hear/see voices too.
He-Man has a Cross on his chest....he is a goodie goodie 2 shoes prince that transforms to barbarian looking superhuman with qualities of a shinning knight. In one of the shows lessons of the day they tell you if you have a friend that uses drugs(DANGEROUS DRUGS LIKE Cocaine) if you use drugs you should look for help talk to your parents, your teacher or your minister or rabbi. Even in the Christmas special Skeletor a literal bone head of Dark magic has been influenced by the spirit of Christmas teaching kids ''Hey you know what not everyone is bad to the bone'' but yeah i think these guys scared people in buying their DVD's took that money and bought wasted it on Drugs.
Skeletor's Christmas spirit actually made him MORE POWERFUL, too! He took out a giant battlecruiser in one shot, all because he wanted to save the children!
For every Gary and Phil there’s plenty of crazy evangelical types to take their place if they disappear. Like if these two disappeared the crazy bitch from Jesus Camp would take their place.
These suckers really grind my gears. This kind of stuff worked on my mom scaring her into doing things like throwing away and breaking certain video game cartridges and music tapes. I got Altered Beast for the Genesis from my grandparents for a birthday gift and it was mentioned on one of these shows so she yanked it out of my system and literally burned it in our backyard. They had some hardon for He-Man also so I never got to see as a kid. Stuff like this even scared my mom into forcing me from never seeing my best friend back then because she found out we played Dungeons and Dragons and Magic the Gathering at his house. They knew how to rile up parents in the satanic panic listing arbitrary media as satanic to keep parents afraid so they would continue coming back to them for advice, oh and to flash their number on the screen to get money from parents by claiming even that big corporations that make that stuff are actively trying to stop their message and need their help to keep going. What they are doing is what's truly evil.
Dream The Endless As someone who’s been raised to believe a lot of this stuff myself, I really resonate to your story. Many Christians have really done a lot to allow ignorance to flourish in the world. Condemning everything we don’t understand is one.
I snuck Harry Potter because my mom thought it promoted witchcraft (which...fair I guess) but my friends were really into it so I wanted to be included She eventually found out but decided to read the books herself Couple years down the line I'm fed up with the HP fandom but my mother still adores it and wants the couple books I didn't have to give her for her birthday lol. Got her an adult coloring book of HP creatures for Christmas, and my brother bought that non-JK HP play script book for her. She was also VERY upset our Christian friends let us watch Lord of the Rings with their kids, before the HP stuff. I dont recall exactly when but she eventually found out C.S. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien were friends, and BOTH Christian, and now doesnt remember getting upset about LoTR. ("What? But hes Christian!") I think I only skidded by with these as major incidents because my parents were also Trekkies. Sci fi isnt far from fantasy so... Sorry to hear you had a worse time of it. Really sucks that people would think their own parents are trying to poison their children or something. EDIT: she also adored/adores Scooby Doo now that I think of it...and Looney Toons was fine. Weird things she decided to take issue with.
I remember bringing MTG cards to school and the teachers freaking out - public school btw, and not in the best neighborhood. To them, it was like gambling (cuz cards) and DnD combined and their heads exploded. It was 1994 so we werent too far removed the satanic panic of the 80s. I found it so ridiculous cuz MTG kept me and my friends out of trouble, and teaches you anything and everything that something like Chess does. My parents never had a problem with any of that stuff, thank goodness. No freaking out about Mortal Kombat or anything like that. I wish I still had those cards though.
My parents were the same way back then.. My mom would change the damn channel every time Momra said ancient spirits of evil.. Same as my brained washed parents thought KISS stood for Knights or Kids in satans service.. Man just pisses me off just thinking about it..and its because of losers like these two stupid clowns
@@jodipearson567 no, Etheria was a different planet. Though with how many times She-ra crossed over with He-man, you wonder why it didn’t just all take place on Eternia.
I think it's funny that the next generation of pearl clutchers is upset that they don't find her sexy enough. It's almost as if they're just a bunch of busy-bodies who enjoy being angry at nothing.
Funny that Brad finally combined this two-parter together into one epic episode, and yet Tarantino, despite teasing it for over a decade, STILL hasn’t given us Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair!
Tarantino should just re-edit both movies into one 2.5 hour movie. There was no reason to split it up, especially when the second one had about twenty minutes of story.
My uncle was a fundamentalist minister back in the '80s. In 1986, around the time I was 5, he - no doubt influenced by Phil Phillips or acolytes of Phillips' propaganda - convinced my mother to throw away my sizeable toy collections of Return of the Jedi, Masters of the Universe, and Thundercats. (Fortunately, my Transformers and G.I. Joe toys were spared, even though they were also targeted by Phillips.) It remains just about the most traumatic experience of my childhood. I remember panicking and hiding any of my new toys from my uncle whenever he visited, lest they, too, be deemed "harmful" somehow. I could never even play with my remaining toys the same way again, always wondering in the back of mind if they were "evil" somehow, and afraid that they could be taken away at any moment like my MOTU, etc. It left such an impact on me, that, to this day, I still feel somewhat uncomfortable being around my uncle or letting him see any of my possessions. (During the 1995 reissue of Star Wars toys, I went crazy trying to recapture the joy of my original collection and amassed a new SW collection which I still own.)
@@amanoj318 To this day, I'm not certain what happened to all those toys. I was told that my ROTJ stuff was given to my cousin, but he didn't want them, so they were kept in the rafters of his dad's garage. Asked about it years later, and they said they gave it away to someone else/didn't remember what happened to them. As far as I know, the MOTU and Thundercats may have just thrown away.
LOL...though much as I hate to defend those two nutjobs, Galoob actually did have a 1985 female-geared action figure line called "Goldengirl" (no relation to the sitcom), which likely flopped b/c unlike He-Man and other more successful franchises, it didn't have a tie-in animated series. Would also explain why almost no one remembers it some 35+ years later! 😆
Saying that The Thirteen ghosts of Scooby-Doo is satanic because of the demons is like saying the Bible is satanic because The Devil is in it. The Devil is the VILLAIN!!!!! You're not meant to root for him, but it doesn't take away the fact that he exists in those stories.
I don't see the difference between them and RU-vidrs today. Bad presentation. Lies. Exaggeration without expression. Offending for clickbait. Hating on people who like what they don't. Complaining about memorable nostalgic media because they didn't grow up with it.
If Brad ever brings back DVR-Hell, as in making new episodes, and not re-making the old ones with better quality, and occasionally having a line in there that sounds like how he phrases/delivers his takes on things like this now... He should totally do another video of these two. No way this is their only collaboration, the Gods of both comedy and fail would not allow it.
I'm a Christian (a preacher's daughter at that) and I can confirm Brad is right. This is hilarious. While my parents and the majority of people i know weren't this crazy, I did know a few kids who's parents were so strict they weren't even allowed to use the phrase "holy cow" as it was considered cursing. Maybe I just wasn't as much of a dumbass as a kid, but I knew the difference in God and the stories and the Bible, compared to the Lion King and Alvin and the Chipmunks. Also I knew Barbie was plastic and not real. What was real was my mom and her example for me to follow.
I had a friend who was not allowed to watch The Smurfs because Gargamel was a practicing sorceror... or wizard.... or whatever the hell he is. Used to think that was a one-off crazy family rule til seeing this. Maybe his parents were followers of this nonsense.
I’m Pentecostal and luckily didn’t have Apostolic parents that are controlling and extremely religious so much that they’re nihilistic towards non Christian paraphernalia. That’s this 1985 video in a nutshell.
@@amanoj318 True Sorry but I don't beleive in"Boogie Man"Christianity!!! Kids toys and games aren't evil!! And I don't think Satan created D&D either!! "Byron figured Jesus wouldn't mind.Apparently Jesus don't like the Apache.:-Russell Crowe"3:10 to YAWN
Yeah, the thing that irritates me most about stuff like this is that I grew up around a ton of evangelical Christians and stuff like this makes people who don't have a lot of firsthand experience with that community to believe that everyone in it is the worst sort of stereotype. Most Christians are just normal people and good folks and like any large demographic group they have a wide range of views and opinions. Stuff like this just ends up poisoning the dialog from both ends.
My parents are Christians and we live in Alabama. I was able to watch and have He-Man and She-Ra toys. My dad became a minister after I grew up and he took my son to buy Magic the Gathering cards. Go figure🤷🏿♀️My husband, son and I are atheists, but it's not an issue with my momma and daddy.
In other words, it comes down to how the one chooses to practice their faith. It's too easy to simply say that Christianity - or religion as a whole - is all misinformed scare tactic propaganda crafted by greedy, narcissistic sociopaths in order to indoctrinate. That's some cult stuff if I ever heard it.
@@PaceBreaker According to the book, it should be all you described it was 🤣🤣🤣🤣There are just some folks that took bits and pieces(thankfully) and have committed to not being ball bags to humanity. My mom was also an Easten Star and my daddy was a Freemason. Our family is so weird and I loved it. I knew god needed to kiss my ass when he wanted to demand that I love him over my parents. Kick rocks, god, and eat a big one🤣
I don't know how Brad can watch these things and not stroke out. Like, just seeing the clips he shows has me holding back bitter rage. 😆😆😆 You're a trooper, Brad. Thanks for taking so many for the team.
For some, the absurd scare tactic crap that comes out of these people's mouths loops right back to being funny or entertaining. Like someone who smokes watching Reefer Madness and knowing that's nonsense.
@@PaceBreaker Yeah, for some. But the rest of us can't shake the knowledge from the back of our minds that _there are people out there who 100% believe this._
@@Takeshi357 Personally I'm a little of both. It's funny, then it annoys/angers me as they keep going and then sometimes it goes back to being funny because these kinda of people had to do some ridiculous mental gymnastics to convince people. It's like reading what some of the internet fans of professional wrestling think despite having no hands on experience in the wrestling business.
The biggest problem for these geniuses is they can't figure astral projection, witchcraft, mind control, levitation, etc. Are not real. It reminds me this Jack Chick comic about D&D where teen players learned real spells. Basically they're out of touch with reality. Strange because, as a kid, I knew pretty well that I could swing my plastic sword as much as I wanted, it wouldn't change my mom's grumpy dog into an armored battle dog. These guys should have been in Dr Phil's show instead of making their own.
Well, I'm from a generation that still had adds for sea monkeys, learn-how-to-Kung Fu-manuals and x-ray glasses in comic books. All which I called bullshit on, as soon as I had learned how to spell... these guys obviously ordered and "believed"... :/
@@fenriz218 Hey I had sea monkeys and they survived in their little plastic tank for years. Even long after they finished their food bag. Of course they looked more like little tiny shrimps than what was depicted on the box but still, it was kinda cool.
Phil: The Lord directed me to go on a 14 day fast and during this fast I did something unusual I walked into a toy store Are you sure you were in a toystore Phil, and not a hospital because you passed out from not eating?
I'm curious what these fundamentalists think about the Avatar series. That show is steeped 100% in Eastern philosophy and a bit of theology in some manner.
Not to mention the second Avatar we see, Korra, goes both ways and ends up with a girlfriend. Oh and don't forget the Red Lotus. Mako kills one of them, another commits suicide, and another has her fucking head explode.
Late, but I'd love to see not only they reactions to the series in concept, but actually having to sit through all of it. It's better at understanding and forgiveness than these guys.
They'd probably find it to be violent, you know because they wouldn't actually get to the part where Aang refuses to kill the firelord. I think they'd also call Aang's tatoos pagan or something.
"The LAWD gave a raging CLUE! My clue pointed me to the toy store, alerting me to the lil' muscle'y blue skeleton man an' those furry little trunks of his."
I've watched this video several times and just realized that these men have a problem with any toy that allows girls to do anything beyond be a mommy or cooking.
Id just like to point out two things that I'm sure I already did on other versions of this; 1) there is absolutely a christian martial arts demographic, which is catered to with things such as groups and books and forums. My father ran a Christian aikido club for kids at our church for awhile where my mom read from a martial arts prayer book (I wish I could remember the name) and has been interested in various martial arts and the philosophies behind them for as long as hes been religious. 2) As someone who grew up with Barbie as a major role model for herself, I never noticed her "perfectness" or compared her to myself physically until I started hearing people talk about the epidemic of girls starving themselves to look like Barbie. I know there are girls who genuinely want to look like Barbie, but Id argue that the issue started the other way around; they had issues to start with, and Barbie unintentionally exasperated them. After all, her hips were crafted so small to help tiny hands keep hold of her figure and get her clothes on and off.
I was telling my dad (who grew up catholic) about this video and he told me about one of the priests at the church who got a black belt. Apparently, my dad's friend from school who got along with this priest decided to scare said priest as a joke, and got grabbed by the throat and almost punched before the priest recgonized him (it was dark outside). So basically, if priests can get black belts I'm pretty sure martial arts are fine.
I liked the different careers Barbie had and that even though she had Ken as a boyfriend, she never married him. It showed that girls can grow up to have any job and didn't have to be married. One of the first I liked was Day to Night Barbie where she was an office worker and the power suit changed to an evening gown. Now I'm hoping for Editor Barbie, Book Reviewer Barbie, or Librarian Barbie. You'd bet I'd buy her.
Oh man this brings back memories. I knew sooo many people that went to this extreme! Worked in my favor once. The after school program let us watch cartoons. Boys wanted TMNT, girls wanted MLP. Teachers sided with the girls because Turtles was too violent. But then i pointed out that Ponies had 'magic' and we won! It was the day I learned how to use a rigid system against itself, religion in particular. That came in handy when I became a born again atheist.
Gary and Phil: So they say that the Bible is violent but it was written hundred of years ago. *Jesus walks in* Jesus: Hey guys don't stand up for me stay where you are. Gary: Jesus Jesus: Shut it and listen. Yes the Bible was written Hundreds of years ago but i don't understand is why are you guys constantly on the Old testament and revelations? Phill: I dont - Jesus: I mean was teaching to love someone else besides yourself so bad? I mean I told to everyone who were about to stone Mary Magdalene to death if they believed they had no sin cast the first stone. Phil: And it was the right thing to do Je - Jesus: STF Up Phil an actual adult is talking...Do you know what you are doing? Your telling parents to do the exact opposite of what i teach. Gary: Be fair Jesus...you weren't specific enough... Jesus: Gary before i storm in here i met your grandmother she is a sweet lady but you are making it hard for me not to kick your ass.
AnΔatomik reminds me of the crucifixion scene in Good Omens. Crowley: "What did he say that's got everyone so angry?" Aziriphale: "Be kind to one another." Crowley *wincing*: "That'll do it."
When you think about it, the Old Testament were basically a long buildup on how people ended up being absolute jerks to a point they decided to send a carpenter to his torture and death.
BTW, anyone seen "Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" Turns out that these 30 minute toy based TV shows were illegal until the Reagan Administration....someone who Gary and Phil probably prayed to as much as God
I'm Christian and me and my family always loved this stuff. Halloween is also my favorite holiday and I've watched Die Hard every Christmas since I was born. It's also my pastor's favorite Christmas movie.
I remember that story about the kid in the parking lot proclaiming He-Man more powerful than god, except when I heard it, it was Superman. I'm beginning to think these guys are just making this stuff up.
I'm so glad these ( expletive deleted ) didn't see "Ultraman" in the late 1960's. That was a mind blowing show. Also gave me an insight into Japan and a love for higher thought. Mmmm loved Fuji ( the female on the show ).
@@johnroche I got to see the "66 series in 1970, on a UHF tv channel. After 39 episodes, the channel brought us "Johnny Sako's Flying Robot". The day the kaiju died.

@Phillip But that would mean God is fallible, and able to be tricked. Quick, we must come up with a way to cover this up, before people start questioning their blind faith in a fairy-tale! How about, uh... "It's all part of God's ultimate plan we just can't understand"?

A friend of mine had to get rid of all his toys because of this bullshit. His mother thought she was supporting devil worship by buying these toys; she was fanatical unfortunately for him. I always wondered where some people got these stupid ideas. Lets not forget that alot of cheap low budget parents used this bullshit as an excuse not to buy toys as well. Thanks for putting this video up!
So they talk about children being corrupted by violence and the occult in cartoons yet his final words are about spreading the blood of a crucified god all over every person in your family.
