James Spader absolutely killed it here. He just verbally slaughtered Scientology. Also farting is not usually a respected point of comedy anymore... but this one is.
I would like to see Spader do a similar bit about Alcoholics Anonymous, and its founder Bill Wilson. It's as ripe a subject as this one. Even get the same writer(s). Ah, it'd be classic.
@@ShannonFreng Very different case. You should really research AA before you try to compare it. I grant you that Bill Wilson had some medical origins to his story. He was in pretty bad shape. They led to what was pretty close to death's door. He had a white light experience. For the record, I have been dragged to both a Scientology thing (something akin to going to Church). I was asked to go and try to keep an open mind. I never went back, But I was at least respectful. And I have been to AA. No, I have never drank in my life. But I know a few people who were alcoholics. They had my support. And they were recovering.
@@mikemesser4326 You're telling me to research AA, when your piddling 'knowledge' of it, barely approaches that of a dilletante? For your edification, I've a vast knowledge of AA's real, sordid nature (which it tries to suppress). But I shouldn't be surprised: AA mostly attracts only the intellectually unsophisticated (as your writing style clearly indicates), to be its advocates.
@@mikemesser4326 How about AA's refusal (well, they've finally issued some timid policy statements, regarding conduct, recently) to acknowledge the matter of rampant sexual predation, at its meetings? In 2009, a board member raised a concern over that, and other such safety concerns, but the board's official decision was that it couldn't do anything about it, citing their tenth Tradition of avoidance of becoming involved, in outside issues. As if this wasn't an internal issue. If this doesn't spark a doubt as to it's integrity, what else would? If any other as well-known major corporate entity (be it for-profit, or non) were to take such a dismissive stance toward sexual predation, within it's ranks, it would be vilified, no end. I write this more for others' edification, rather than yours (which I couldn't give a shit about, anyway).
@@DrownedInExile Oh please. Scientology is basically pay-to-win. They don't need to look to the gaming industry for ideas. they've been implementing them for decades.
ROFLMAO. Oh this is awesome. So many gold moments. "And there's Christians who believe Jesus will return are they all nuts"? "Most" The look from the judge was hilarious. Subtle but like WTF did he really just say that?
Oh, he wasn't pointing it at her. That would have been uncouth. His performance here was partially to defend Jerry, but mostly out of a desire to win his bet with opposing council in which "the loser had to smother the winner in maple syrup and then lick it off", I believe were the stakes. Also, Scientology nut is suing Jerry for wrongful termination. So Jerry is the defendant and Alan is the Defense Attorney. Lake Bell's character Sally Field is the Prosecution.
If They could do this episode over again, I think they should’ve included just how dangerous Scientology is. Fair game and the like. Also from all the interviews I’ve heard with Ex Scientologists, You’re hard-pressed to get a Scientologist onto a witness stand and openly admit that they believe in the Xenu story. It’s supposed to be very quiet hush-hush only the top brass get to know about it.
As my mother (Christian, and very religious) mother used to say "Religions are like penises. Many people have one, but the fact that you have one does not give you the right to shove it down my throat."
His "I know, I'll get letters", and another episode where the young girl's mom/uncle want her to remember an assault while her father wants to have her memory erased of it, she talked about someone who did something rude, "Should get letters" -- I feel like that's either a reference I'm missing or it was a Bostonian saying.
It's a recurring joke where the characters break the fourth wall. "The letters" mean complaint from audiences to the show or the TV station. Alan once said to a female colleague, "Are you one of Mitt (Romney)'s wives?", to which the girl replies,"Now this will get you letters."
@@kambhengoren4837 THANK YOU! I had always wondered, and asked other people I knew who watched the show, and no one seemed to even remember the characters saying something about Letters, let alone it being a recurring thing. THANK YOU!!!!
There is a particularly fun one where Alan and Denny are arrested for adultery and abetting and Alan represents them both in handcuffs going on about bigamy and letters throughout. One of the best running gags on the show.
If it weren't Scientology, but Alcoholics Anonymous, that was being pilloried, here, they surely wouldn't have lacked controversial material, with which to work with, either. There's much that AA tries to keep a lid on.
But for some bizarre reason, AA is treated as more or less sacrosanct, in comparison to other cults, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientology, etc. But this is likely due to there being so great an amount of revenue generation attached to it, than for any moral consideration--the tobacco/liquor industry lobbies, being prime examples. One thing about AA, that I've always found inane, is its claim, that one will always be an alcoholic, despite how long one has been abstinent. But yet, do you still call someone who quit smoking, a year ago, a smoker? Most who venerate AA (many of whom, know nothing about it) probably suffer from the 'Emperor's New Clothes' effect (logical fallacy): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Clothes#Use_as_an_idiom
@@Gurl-5150 You guys always have these pathetically simplistic, unsubstantiated pat answers, that prove nothing. I'd think it was you, who should try again. But what else should I expect, from such an anti-intellectual outfit, such as AA?

Go pray to your light build or door knob.
@@Gurl-5150 AA admits to a 5% success rate, is based on nothing, and has had a consistent and pernicious effect on US law and perceptions of substance abuse since it was slipped into official discourse by LBJ. It's a cult (which is my area of expertise, as it happens) and just because it's not raking it in hand-over-foot like Hubbard's buzzards doesn't mean it isn't a source of real harm.
Especially considering they can be court appointed for drunk driving which is a violation of the establishment clause. You need a secular version of AA or else you cannot use it as a means by which to get rid of a judgment
"Is it painful?" lol I miss this show. Wish they'd reboot it with James Spader again. This show did such a good job breaking down current events and political issues. The writing was excellent. I miss it.

The case would really come down does he let other employees proselytize on the clock. If not, then not allowing a Scientologist to do so isn’t discriminatory.
Freedom of Religion means you get to practice whatever religion you please and the government can’t prosecute you for it unless you have affected someone else in a harmful way. I know fourteen-year olds who can tell you this 🙄
Spader made a good point by not excluding other religions. There are two kinds of people: Someone walks down a hill and claims he received 10 commandments by god himself hidden in a burning bush. Kind 1: Yeeeahhh... sure, bro! Not like you made them up to retain power! Kind 2: Wow! Here's my credit card for church contribution!
Let's not forget all the criticism for the ridiculous claims of scientology apply to other religions. They just sound less ridiculous because the religions are much older. with that said, as long as you don't impose the beliefs and don't use your religion to cause harm or impede regular life, we should be free to believe and practice. Anti religion or atheism can also become oppresive.
They did dance with pointing that out for a bit in the first scene. Are all christian's mad? Most. And it's what the whole Letters comment at the end is for too. Trouble is too many folks use the Nth amendment as ammo in any argument but in my experience most couldn't actually recite the wording or meaning of it back to you if you paid them. They've been reduced to 2-3 word catchphrases and the actual intent of them has been lost most of the time. I.e. Free speech means we can all say whatever we like and we cannot be arrested and censored by the government for that. But the person we say it to is free to ignore it, lambast it or punch in the nose for it. Though the latter choice often comes with additional ramifications. Same with Freedom of Religion. Everyone is free to practice whatever religion they like. But it doesn't mean they can weild that religion like a weapon against others free from consequence. And the weirder the religion is in the public consciousness, the less power it has to defend actions.
I love the part in Scientology where Xenu gets a random old guy with no shipbuilding experience to build a ship large enough and seaworthy enough to hold and take care of 2 of every animal on the planet for around 40 days and nights. Oh and how about the bit where Xenu requires the human sacrifice of his own son so he can forgive humanity. Good thing too because Xenu was about to commit world wide genocide ..... again. Xenu, you mischievous dog you. Oh oh, I also forgot the hilarious joke where Xenu told this guy he had to murder his own son and only at the last minute said "Just kidding! You're so gullible!". Yup Scientology is way more insane than other religions.
are you defending Scientology or attacking Christianity? Because as crazy as Christianity is with some of it's stories and stretches of logic, I was getting Scientology literature and they are more wackado than a prayer group with too much wine and holy spirit in them.
I love it when liberal's always cite morality, victimization, racism, and any other manner of hatred against victims of all types such as fat, ugly, hurt feelings, GENDER or lack there of (sorry that was a big one), I could go on and on for hours. But when they speak of religion it's ALL different huh? Your belief can't trump someone else's belief's matter of fact EVERYONE beats YOUR beliefs IF they aren't religious even if say you could prove your religious beliefs to be continued from generations ago It still doesn't matter. I mean isn't that great? You can be not harassing, speaking to, signage, speaking out against or even ever meeting ANYONE of your persuasion YET the moment you refuse your labor to someone because of your beliefs your persecuting them? So I guess your not being persecuted by being forced to work for someone like a slave just because you believe something????? Sounds Kinda wrong when you say it like that huh? No matter what liberals will always hate this topic as almost 70% of the country believes in some kind of higher power and even funnier is our beloved Mexicans (I'm being serious here) that they fight for so much (I do as well as they are a wonderful people) are more religious than even the majority in America. They have huge wonderful family's and just awesome conviction. As for scientology Sadly In my belief even though sounding like a hypocrite I believe it's an overnight "religion" that is only steeped in a science fiction book. I'm sure someone will reply some simile of the bible when in actuality Ron's book's were fiction period while there have been many, many feats in the bible PROVEN real including in finding the Arc. My beliefs are steeped in hundreds and hundreds of years while whole cities rose and fell over. One of our known measurements is B.C. and A.C. lol yet were talking about a new religion that 95% can be categorized as just fake and a money scheme of the rich? Like I said most of our beliefs lead back to a real date, real moment in history. The biggest thing non believers are hung up on is that they want to see God to know when my reaction to that is " If God is real who are you in the universe to order him to appear? Wouldn't that be like a grain of sand telling the Sun to cool off for a minute? Or the horsefly to the horse to stand still? So yea Scientology isn't a religion. Sorry.
