Hello World,

Since it’s hump day (Don’t you just love that GEICO commercial with the talking camel?), I’ve decided some laughs are in order!

My favorite Christian comedy group “The Playmakers”   are at it again! They have created a hilarious video “10 Types of Black Preachers” in which they dramatize the 10 types of black preachers you will likely encounter in church….Here they are…

1. The Interesting Voice…2. The Singer…3. The Hooper…4. The Asthmatic…5. The Emotional Wreck…6. The Mathematician…7. The Crowd Interactionist…8. The Fire & Brimstone…9. The Dictionary and…10. The White Guy Voice….Take a look and tell me which one you have encountered in church…I think I’ve seen them all

The most hilarious one is The Asthmatic…One of the playmakers yells out while collapsing in an asthma attack, “Jesus be an inhaler!” LOL…

If you want to see more of the “The Playmakers,” check them out on Tracey Edmonds’  Alright TV!

Also on the same network is the talented Issa Rae, the creator of the innovative web series “Awkward Black Girl.” She has created a new series musical web series “The Choir, “ a comedic series about the personal, spiritual and often controversial dynamics of a revered church choir for Alright TV! I actually met her at the Atlanta premiere of the new talk show series “Exhale” as she is one of the hosts of the show. She is very personable and naturally funny…

Any thoughts?

After all of the news of the Boston Marathon bombing from the actual bombing on Monday to the capture of the remaining living suspect on Friday, it’s been an emotional week…I don’t know about you but sometimes the best thing to do is to find a reason to smile or laugh even if you aren’t finished crying yet…I’m sure that the city of Boston, those who lost relatives and those who were injured will be affected for a long time to come, but I pray that even while they grieve, they have moments of relief…To that end and because it’s Sunday, I decided to post a video from my favorite Christian comedy group “The Playmakers.” And this group which consists of Kevin and Jason Fredericks and Anthony Davis are on the move! They recently launched a web series with Tracey Edmonds’  Alright TV!

So without further ado, I introduce to some and present to others (LOL) “The Playmakers” in “How to Testify in a Black Church.” Watch and get yo laugh on!

Here are the four steps in case you did not know…And if you have ever been to a black church, sometimes the testimonies are even better and longer than the sermons…Can’t I get an “Amen” and a praise clap?

1. Give honors.
2. Repeat a popular phrase or scripture.
3. Blame the devil for everything.
4. Over exaggerate a story.

So what has been the funniest testimony you have ever heard in church?

Any thoughts?
