wtf?!

*cult!

Adding video to channels (Cult) - requested by Zonbie.

what the fuck has this really got to do with having a pop at scientology..?

I highly doubt this was in any way a pop aimed at scientology. It had a sign saying "church of science and knowledge" and that's all there was to it, the rest was just a rediculous situation ala every big train sketch. There was no piss taking involved in this comedy situation, the comedy wasn't of the piss taking variety.

the name of the church, the personality test, the straight, professional manner and appearance of the staff/ office whilst concealing behind a veil some seriously weird mythology all said to me 'scientology'.

but i will change it so i no longer bring shame unto my family.

Of course they are taking the piss out of Scientology. What other cult/religion could they possibly be referring to?

^ What!? Why are you so certain they're taking the piss out of anything in order to say "it must be scientology there's nothing else"? The sketch is funny independantly of piss taking, i don't even SEE any piss taking, just a typical pattern of a big train sketch, did you even watch the damn show?

They're not taking the piss out of anything. The sign is the only thing there. The personality test is NOT a trademark system of scientology, i remember stories about cults when i was 5 that started you out with a personality test, and as for the professional manner and appearance of the staff - that is so crucial to the rediculousness of the rest of the sketch. The sketch follows the line of a LOT of big train sketches in which a rediculous situation meets a serious situation. Like the sketch where they wank in the office at work. Or a super smooth sexually active guy who can't operate doors.

Anyway, i take back my comment, you've changed the title and shown that it wasn't just for votes, so i apologise and i do look like an idiot... it just happens a lot on this circle-jerk video upvoting website and it irks me

Wait, people are saying this wasn't a send-up of scientology?

Scientology = the branch of knowledge concerned with science.

Hence, Church of Science and Knowledge is a pretty obvious reference to Scientology.

The personality test is one of the things Scientology is best known for. I don't know of any other major cults or New Religious Movements which even use personality tests,

The office itself is a direct parody of Scientology branches.

Honestly, I can't see how this can be reasonably interpreted any other way.

Can you name one? The Temple of Damanhur doesn't. Eckankar doesn't. The Raelians don't. The Moonies don't. The Hare Krishnas don't. Heaven's Gate didn't. Summum doesn't. Aleph (formerly Aum Shinrikyo) doesn't.

Isn't the debate in this post kind of like this debate?

Mike: Dude, that chick you were with last night, I think it was a dude
Joe: No, she wasn't a dude, dude
Mike: I think he was...
Joe: NO, SHE WASN'T, AND YOU'RE STUPID FOR THINKING SO!
Mike: Whatever, perv...
