Disclaimer: If you're religious, this video might offend you. It's about Jesus and ME.
I found this video a few days ago (listed on MEpedia) and it's so funny, it made me cry tears from laughter (what rarely happens these days). I think it's one of those videos that even gets funnier the more often you watch it (it's only 1:30 min.) and look at the mimic of our protagonist. How he's so hopeful and happy in the beginning and later dies a little inside when they're told to spread the word.
It's old (16 years?) but I haven't heard of it before and it never came up in my countless google searches. Looked for it on PR and @Esther12 recommended it a few years ago, but it's buried in an old and long thread so I thought it deserves some new attention. I post it on the advocacy thread (and translated it into German) because I think funny videos are advocacy tools, too.
I don't know Iannucci Armando and the first time I watched it, I actually wasn't quite sure if the video might be making fun of pwme. But then I watched it again and checked how the pwme is presented - he's polite, factual, has dark rings under his eyes, is happy for the others, is the only one humbly folding his hands, doesn't "jump the queue" like others - he's clearly the good guy here.
Hope it brings you some laughter, too!
