    I remember being told my late dad used to be a member of this church and made a lot of friends there, but never did I actually find out what they actually did. Now's my chance to find out...
    EDIT: I feel like I'm hallucinating. I think the cameraman at 3:17 is my dad. He did occasionally do camera work, but painting and sculpting were his real specialty. He made a life-sized Watto statue for his local Blockbuster store, and I'm convinced it is now in MoistCr1TiKaL's possession.

    Man, more people need to talk about this funny-ass satirical cult. I've been somewhat fascinated by it for years and I look into it every now and then. I'm really surprised by how little Internet documentation there is of subgenius, I guess because it mostly died out by the early 2000s. My guess as to why is because a lotta teens and college kids joined it in the 80s and just never bothered passing it on, which I guess makes sense since it's basically a giant shitpost

    • @liengandriod55
      @liengandriod55 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's shitpost before that became popular. And who knows maybe if enough people are intereseted in the cult it could make a comeback much like others more serious cult (KKK comes to mind). Hopefully one day, it will make a comeback.

    • @deadpoolnerd
      @deadpoolnerd ปีที่แล้ว +2

      From the documentary it died out around the 2000s firstly because the wrong sort of crazy was drawn to it. Taking it seriously. Feeling they had to eliminate the "normies". So between an event like Sandy hook and then later 9/11 it felt in poor taste to continue poking that fun. Especially if those that took it seriously saw these terrible events as good gospel. It got so bad the group started being on lists for potential dangers to keep an eye on.

    My GBA Part 2 Recommendations:
    ~Activision Anthology. A collection of old school Atari 2600 games made by Activision. Despite being on the GBA, however, it actually managed to have even more content then its ports on systems like the PS2, with high score saving (which for some reason wasn't present on the console releases), as well as prototypes of unknown and unreleased 2600 games.
    ~The "bit Generations" series. A collection of what I can only describe as "TRON-esque Warioware microgames", they were released in Japan in 2 different waves by Skip Ltd., who also made the Bit. Trip series.
    ~Godzilla: Domination. Made by WayForward (Yes, the Shantae Wayforward), it's a 2-D arena fighter that lets you play as a bunch of different monsters from the Godzilla series, each with their own unique movesets & an original story mode.
    ~Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Challenge. A 3D racer on GBA that, despite the crummy visuals, has a shockingly smooth frame rate. How they did it on GBA I genuinely don't know.

    Honestly, I wasn’t expecting you to talk about J.R. “Bob” Dobbs, nor the Church of the SubGenius.
    It’s pretty cool that they did videos games. It’s the weirdest “religion” that’s unapologetically weird. I’m also surprise that you saw the documentary. Tubi also supports most of Shout! Factory’s stuff. Hope to see more.
    I await more Bob Dobbs stuff.
