Phreaky Phriday: Video Tract

Satan loves parties. If you love parties, you love Satan. If you don’t believe me, watch this. (And yes, you do recognize the girl playing “Jill.” It’s Judy Greer. I’m as confused as you are.)

    Oops, just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

    OK, I spent the whole time thinking it was a parody. How can it not be a parody, guys? The falling projector screen, the dumb music, Judy Greer’s acting (well, actually, not that last one). Come on!

    But it says “Chick Productions” at the end. It must be in earnest. Right?

    Yeah, I think it’s serious. But maybe I’m just a little pessimistic right now.

    I think its both. Chick Publications goes postmodern

    It’s…. so…. surreal.

    Here’s the original. The book is always better then the movie.

    It’s been too long, friends. Let us partake of the joy that is Chick Publications and Snoop Dog (not family friendly).

    I know that my timing is a little funny, considering that this is ‘flippant dick’ day for me, but I…can’t…help…it. [pushes Submit, runs away]

    A few years ago I ordered all of the Chick tracts….man they are awesome and there are hundreds of em. I remember being a little kid and going on cross country trips with my grandparents. We would go to church every Sunday in these old, dying buildings with old dying people and my brother and I were usually the only kids there. We were always given a handful of these tracts as if they were magical books that would keep us from ever wanting the taste of alcohol or the touch of a pretty woman. It was great, I learned about the evils of homosexuality, Islam, drinking, drugs, evolution, having any kind of fun whatsoever etc. They are so brilliant in their simplicity, the themes are in black and white and so is the art. Genius! As an 8 year old kid I laughed at them. Now I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

    And it’s got to be a parody…That’s French Stewart (3rd Rock From The Sun) as Satan and the dude at the end.

    Oh man, ‘rise! Now we got some giz-ospel up in the hiz-ouse!

    Jeremy - The vid might be a parody, but the cartoon original is for realsies.. You can read Jack Chick’s bio and Chick Pub’s Statement of Faith.

    Oh yes….I am fully aware of the seriousness of the Chick Tracts….that’s what confounds me and amuses me. Good stuff.

    You LAUGHED at them when you were 8? Aw, man, those things scared the shizzle out of me at that age. For real. You’re so lucky.

    You all have entirely too much time on your hands. Where do you FIND this stuff and when do you find the time to find this stuff???

    Gotta be a spoof, perhaps germinated under the affluence of inkahol — “Let’s act out a Chick tract, verbatim!!” (See the original tract for confirmation.) Or maybe somebody lost a bet. Not even the worst Christian films are this bad, and I’ve seen a few.

    I just figured out where I’ve seen the “Granny” who was in this video: It’s Norman Bates’ mother!

  15. 15 clint

    Yeah, the video tract you guys are talking about is part of a group of independent filmmakers’s series of unauthorized short films based upon Chick Tracks. Check out http://www.316now.com for details. They’ve made about a dozen or so last time I checked and they’re all pretty good. “Angels” is the best, but Judy Greer totally brings the hotness in her contribution. Didn’t figure out it was her until today.
