Swatties are HIGH-larious


I was watching Last Comic Standing, a show I always thoroughly enjoy, when I started laughing really hard at these two beyond queer guys who were playing straight Jesus freaks. And then I realized they sounded familiar. I searched my gmail and realized that the duo was a group called God's Pottery and that they are Swatties. I had received a few emails earlier promoting them from the Swarthmore NYC digest. Anyway, they are by far one of the funniest groups on the show. Their schtick is to pretend to be positive, Jesus loving do gooders. So for the Yo-Momma jokes they did all good jokes, like "your momma is so terrific that she got elected mayor...by a landslide!" Please check out their website godspottery.com because they are simply hilarious.

Here's a bit from their website:

"Their first song was entitled, simply, "Jesus." After an overwhelmingly positive response, Jeremiah and Gideon returned the next Sunday with a follow-up tune, "Jesus Jesus." The next week, they played "Jesus Jesus Jesus." As the crowds swelled and word started to spread, it became clear to the boys that they were on to something big."
