"I've said it before, but it still needs saying- the point of Globe Gong Idol is that the AUDIENCE BOOS THE PERFORMERS. " So basically it's stand-up comedy that is a mash-up of the Gong Show and American Idol where the point is to be ...as over-the-top as possible, basically. I thought it was funny until the killing a Christian section, which seemed to drag on into unfunny territory and then stay there. To quote one of the people who has won Globe Gong Idol…

So basically it’s stand-up comedy that is a mash-up of the Gong Show and American Idol where the point is to be …as over-the-top as possible, basically.

I thought it was funny until the killing a Christian section, which seemed to drag on into unfunny territory and then stay there.

I think it was Atheists posing as Christians posing as Atheists posing as Christians making fun of Atheists…. I didn’t really find it funny, though.

I recognize it from "Fundies Say the Darndest Things". It is from originally from a gaming forum, but it is hard to tell it is was satire there. I did a search for other posts by the same poster and found he was mostly just a troll who made useless comments (some of which were homophobic). The atheist thing probably isn't completely serious though. It's pretty funny anyway. The performers are obviously atheists. I recognize it from “Fundies Say the Darndest Things”.
