This is such a different dynamic to what Louis normally does as this bunch are all very reasonable and accepting people, at least relatively. The guy on the right believes that the younger one is sinning and doing wrong, but goes on to say "he can whatever he wants", not imposing his belief on others. Same goes for the younger one who accepts that people have different beliefs and opinions and respects their right to believe in what they do. Oh and the guy at the back being completely neutral and doing nothing. Such a contrast to the normally obstinate and aggressive interviewees
This was one of the best episodes that Louis came up with. Getting all these people together was a fantastic idea. I loved the Christmas dinner they had. Really heartwarming
@@lnfreeman it isn't season 1 episode 1 I watched it yesterday and it's Louis weird Christmas, Google it. That guy on the left just went to a porn shoot and the old religious guy is mad af, this video is the following conversation they have.
I find it interesting that you’ve got: An Atheist who genuinely doesn’t believe in Christianity or other religions when it comes to spirituality. A Christian who was taught Christian morals but does not take every part of the Bible literally and accepts that Christianity is a religion. A Christian who believes that every single detail within the religion is reality and therefore can’t be considered a religion.
This is peak Louis, prompting a genuine and rational reaction from his subjects, which helps the audience understand their position. Whilst at the same keeping things civil and never overstepping the mark.
I really hope I can remember "you know, I have just one sentence for you - you're spiritually dead." That's a devastating line. Starts out friendly enough, and then just a vicious blow. So funny.
''I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas day, on Christmas day'' I love the way Louis plays it dumb to make the person he is interviewing really hang themself. ''Is being dead spiritually bad?''
lol "it's not a religion it's reality" The young guy's reaction was priceless. The "WTF" expression. Of course everyone believes that their untestable and unfalsifiable belief is "real", but since none of the 10,000+ beliefs can be demonstraed, we call them religions. How cocky to say "my untestable belief is different becuause I think it is". Well.. so does everyone else.
I think the young man is really intelligent, he seems to understand and be tolerant of other people's beliefs. Which is interesting to see these days. His dad, the old man, did a solid job of explaining his faith imo, and it was clear Louis was backed into a corner at the end, he didn't want to talk about why there were Christmas lights, more or less, he didn't want to acknowledge the old mana point in what Christmas is in this country. Interesting as usual.
This was on tv just before or around Christmas time..this was so funny to watch...Especially when they all sat down and see a guy who was possessed by an alien and started to talk like an alien..that was so funny 🤣🤣😂
@Doctorouminyagrype Louis has admitted to being an atheist, but no, he is not of Jewish descent. His father is American writer Paul Theroux, who is of French Canadian and Italian descent; his mother, Anne Castle, is English.
i think if you are debating or discussing its important to go down a level so as to move on from peripheral things eg christianity even if i do belive its not a religion but in this case i will say it is (context) so we move to more hardcore stuff like something out of nothing arguments
@izaccy I have heard him admit his atheism, but that does not mean he does not identify himself as culturally Anglican. After all, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins identifies himself as both an atheist and a cultural Christian.
JJ is actually really intelligent... i watched the weird weekends epsiode about porn, with him in... but i don't remember him being like this... i really agreed with some stuff he said tbh :D
That's all very well JJ. But if you don't go to Hell, and you're not a believer so you can't go to Heaven, then...where are you gonna go when there's nowhere else to go? North up to Alaska, south to Mexico...travellin on, travellin on.
@izaccy why would he be embarrassed? I can't imagine an English person being embarrassed about that. It really isn't a very religious society like America.
I kind of wish the old fella in the front had been allowed to make his point about "what is Christmas" and it had opened up a bit more of a debate. I think a talk on the nature of modern Christmas celebrations (specifically how they have more to do with the pagan Winter Solstice and certain Germanic folklore traditions- not to mention pure capitalism- than with Christian doctrine, which could have led to a talk on how each religion is informed by those it takes over as evidenced by the adoption of late December (the pagan Solstice) as Christ's official birthday during the Council of Nicea when modern evidence would suggest that- if he existed at all, which is in and of itself highly debatable- Christ would have been born in May) would have been more interesting than an off-key rendition of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer...
no, its not highly debatable, pretty much every historian agrees that Jesus existed, where do people get the 'his existence is not solid" meme from? What are you gonna say next, that Alexander the Great didn't exist? Or Julius Caesar? You don't become the most influential figure in history by 'not existing' rofl
@@Diggy7Diggs Yes it is debatable, as a matter of fact there is almost no primary evidence that points to the existence of Christ. There is an overwhelming amount of secondary evidence (enough for most historians to agree that he PROBABLY did exist), but most of this was recorded at least 100 years after he was supposed to have died, if not even later. And even if he did exist, he was not especially influential himself- certainly no more than any other guru at that time. It was not until the missionary work of the apostles beginning c.50-60 AD that Christianity began to be spread outside of Jerusalem even. And the reason for the widespread popularity of Christianity today can basically be summed up by a mixture of missionary work starting in the middle ages, and colonialism from the 16th to the 19th centuries- very little to do with Christ himself. Personally I think that it's quite likely that a spiritual leader named Yeshua did form a sect of Judaism which later became known as Christianity and was ultimately executed by the Romans, given the amount of secondary evidence that exists to corroborate this. But going by the strict standards of historical investigation, which values primary sources above all else, there is little more than a single scrap of paper that may actually be considered "evidence" of this, unlike, say, Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar, for whom there is plenty of primary evidence.
@@oliverholmes-gunning5372 No person that's not your typical angry atheist would even debate this. Even in your own argument you basically concede he did exist. You don't change the world by not existing, cope more
@@Diggy7Diggs Woah calm down there mate😂 why do you theists always make it so personal? Like I said, I believe there is a strong likelihood that he did exist, but your original statement that there is absolutely no question that he did was factually inaccurate, which is all I was saying. And the other point I was making was that he didn't change the world, the world was changed in his name (and not usually for the better, but that's another argument).
I don't know if I'm totally troubled by Randy's believes but he sounds arrogant sometimes. He says to Jay Jay "You're spiritually dad." And while I don't begrudge him for saying that, the way he said it was somewhat hostile. It's also annoying how he disappreciates the Christmas decorations and I'm sure he's seen them throughout his life.
0.44 both Louis and the other guy in the back lean forward to hear what the sentence is gonna be. hahaha
@BIG MAYATE thanks for correcting that, I never noticed it first watch, like a cartoon or something lol
Oh my fucking god ahahaha
Hahahahaha 🙌 great find
And then they both look at each other, and look back! Hahaha
Hahahahahahahaha
If you accepted Jesus it would be better for the team...funniest line ever
I would have accepted Jesus for the team.
Tim Tebow approves
sounds like it came from a will ferrell movie
Well that’s an interesting cancept
Edit: the typo is deliberate, I found it hilarious the way JJ said the word “concept”
Imagine that, mainstream BBC highlighting division, and belittling a Christian and his beliefs. How original 👍🏼

Thanks Louis. Gold.
This is peak Louis, prompting a genuine and rational reaction from his subjects, which helps the audience understand their position. Whilst at the same keeping things civil and never overstepping the mark.
Louis' trolling hard in this, it's from Louis weird Christmas and the whole episode seems to be about provoking the religious guy, funniest sht ever
hahaha I love little Louis the stirrer sitting in the back. WIth his adorable little head poking out of the dark!
Yes! The stirrer 🤣
Randy at 2:40 is literally me all the time at everything - a beautiful moment
2:42 haha that face
Louis’ dramatic reaction at 0:46 loool
2:48 international sound of two nice guys disagreeing
LOUIS = TROLLING TO THE MAX
"Is that bad, being dead spiritually? That's like, bad?" lol
😂😂
This feels like watching a cartoon
That's all folks.
I really hope I can remember "you know, I have just one sentence for you - you're spiritually dead." That's a devastating line. Starts out friendly enough, and then just a vicious blow. So funny.
Personally I'd take that as a compliment 😂
Not really. If you don’t believe in any kind of spirituality, being told you’re “spiritually dead” is just meaningless.
It doesn’t mean anything
The look they exchange in the back after the 'ive got one sentence for you...' statement is hilarious
I'm glad this channel didn't disable the comments section on this video like they usually do.
2:43 omg look at expression of the younger guy .....hahahhahahahhahahhahaah
Ha yeah he is a bit odd
Had to watch it five times so funny
I want to celebrate Christmas with Louis :)
Guy in cap: *trying to put forth his argument*
Louis: 🎶 "I saw three ships come sailing in, come sailing in..."
''I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas day, on Christmas day''
I love the way Louis plays it dumb to make the person he is interviewing really hang themself.
''Is being dead spiritually bad?''
The moment when they all start singing and even the guy in the front started smiling
That's a good one
And this is how a religious debate should be like 👏🏻
Maybe without the patronizing obstinacy of the fundamentalist.
0:47 could possibly be the funniest thing I've ever seen
lol so good

@Sharks definition of reality. The world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.
You can always rely on bringing old Rudolph the rain deer out to unite everyone in song, genuine banger👍
Old dude: If you die right now your going to hell
Other guy: PERSONALLY, I dont care.
Me : rollin.....
This is a guy who also said he didn't care about contracting HIV
2:34
the look on JJ's face says it all
Superb characters combined
This is fantastic
This is amazing
Louis Legend
Best team ever
That was the best turn around ever in the history of television
1:49 to 2:05. LOL! I love Louis!
Louis singing in his face was amazing to see 🤣🤣🤣

Louis you're inspiring
jj's face at 2.44 is funny as,, he seems like a good cat
weird Christmas its fantastic
The first carol waa class...lol.. Good voice, LT.
i love the wee guy losing it at louis singing at 3.19
“Did you hear that, Randy!” I love him so much.
lol this is such a fun group!!!
3:51 I died!
LOL!!! Awesome comment RockandRoller!!!!
most interesting dollar van ride of the day i bet.
+Rob H I know, you can tell he's loving this!
Louis having a blast here.
didn't know JJ was in this
The kid at 3:50 lol he wants to sing along. Look at that face.
its like a scene out of a jim jarmusch movie lol
I had the EXACT SAME THOUGHT.
incredibly surreal
The Dude Abides!
The way JJ looks, it's just like your point?
OMG ! Im addicted to Louis Theroux = }

The kids widows peak
0:47 lol louis face
JJ is amazing
At least they're friendly with each other.
(yeah, call me a fucking hippy, I don't care)
At the end all those differences we create among each other are nothing but a waste of time
It's all kicking off 😆
Their all tuff until they get there. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Watch the Off-Broadway episode of Weird Weekends. He really can't sing.
Always the most devoted religious ...also ....always the most inflexible viewpoint
The young guy is the same but you point out the Christian.
What characters!!
The jj guy would do the clockwork character wicked.
Can someone explain the three ships coming sailing in part? Why did JJ think its so funny?
