Sorry for the unscheduled resurrection. Real-world deadlines loom. Hope to get back into a proper routine next week.

It looks like the Big Four are ignoring the Riffy awards this year. Either that, or they are waiting till the last minute before alerting their armies of readers, and dramatically blasting J&M into oblivion. In the meantime, we’re still riding high. Voting closes on Saturday night.

  4. As a resurrection~ this is a good one~ ^^! Keep up the good work. BTW~ just voted for ya !!!

  8. put some movement there buddy, when j and m are on the bar they never put that glass on their mouth.

  9. when Matt & Trey make fun of Libertarians, THEN I’ll be impressed… (actually, as a lapsed fan since “Cannibal:The Musical”, I’m already impressed).

    Iconoclasts, huzzah!

  15. That episode is actually awesome. It’s in the future when everyone’s atheist, and they all use the phrase, “Oh my science.” And they’re all fighting wars over what to call themselves. I think the average atheist would find it funnier than a theist would.

  16. Yes, the South Park episode mocking atheists was very funny. Three different atheist groups vying for supremacy in the distant future. I won’t say anymore so as not to spoil it for others.

  17. they’ve mocked athiests before – in the episiode where the local Catholic priest tries to get the CC to deal with teh pedo problem – the B plot was a bet Cartman makes to prove that the digestive system can work in reverse – food in the rear and then out the mouth.

    the parents all reject the church and Cartman’s reverse eating catches on as the athiest counterpart to being religious

    it was pretty funny – although the atheist future where humans still killed over minor variances was excellent

  19. Atheists, faith in logical thought
    Eventually started to rot
    The acolytes stated to leave
    On what they did not believe
    Cults is where they eventually got.

  21. “No!” indeed. Although I think this episode might not turn out particularly funny. Atheism isn’t good material for comedy I’m afraid.

  24. when athiesm is merely not accepting diety claims owing to lack of evidence, it doesn’t have a lot of loose ends or internal inconsistencies or historical inaccuracies or ridiculous dogma to tease apart for parody

  25. oh dear… a lot of readers haven’t noticed that it’s a resurrection of an old comic and are talking about the south park episode as an upcoming one.

    @Henk Poley – that, and the follow up, are the episodes referred to in the original version of this comic.

    i thought the episodes were very funny, by the way. though you might not think atheISM is great comedic material, it turns out that atheISTs can be.

  26. Whoa….into the final 6 play off for the Big Riffy awards – time to get voting again folks………(way out in front, not only Mugabe it seems, but also Kim Jong-Il on the campaign team….)

  28. “I think the average atheist would… ”

    Well, see, there’s where you went wrong.
    Ain’t no such animal.
    All atheists are above average.
    Of all places, I’d think that would be, here, an… article of faith.
