YMMV / The Bible Reloaded

Go To

• Alternate Character Interpretation:
  • Pointed out every so often, mostly in Chick Tracts, just most notably in their I'm Non Aback review, where Hannah says Rachel's acts in role of the pic will exist taken in ane of two ways, depending on whether or not you're a hardcore Christian; her not being true-blue enough to her faith, or existence depressed.
  • Hannah mostly believes that Ray Comfort is a scam artist who knows what he's doing and is willfully ripping people off with his scams of selling them the Christian things he makes.
• Crawly Music: The Bible Reloaded theme song, total stop.
• Ameliorate on DVD: They've discussed this themselves a few times, where they say that people will tell them that they prefer to binge their videos after a sure amount accept come out and/or when they take the fourth dimension to sit downwards and picket them. With their Atheist Bible and Quran Study videos, this tin can certainly aid, since the Bible, while divided betwixt the stories and Testaments, is much too long to sit and read in one sitting for a YouTube video, so they usually encompass stories in several videos each. The Quran likewise does the same.
  • Additionally, their Chick Tract videos can benefit from this, since Jack Chick, while making stand-alone stories in the Tracts, sometimes includes graphic symbol designs for background characters in some of the tracts, from other tract's characters, such as Center Patch Grandad and Bob Williams. Hannah and Jake also have a small amount of running gags and Callbacks that they brand, specially after Harold Penisman was introduced into the Tract readings, since they somewhat establish his lineage in tracts gear up before the apocalyptic future of his tract.
  • Additionally, some of their film reviews have been divided into 2 thirty-minute videos rather than one almost sixty-infinitesimal one. Jake says this is due to their retentivity rates beingness higher with shorter videos. Either way, after said reviews have come up out in multi-video form, it's much improve to get back to those reviews and watch both parts back-to-back than by themselves.
• Better Than Canon: Their versions of Chick Tract storylines and characters are, unsurprisingly, better than the originals near of the time. Special mention goes to Harold Penisman from "The Concluding Generation."
• Creator Backlash: Towards their first several Bible Written report videos. While they're not bad to get through, they weren't quite upwards to their electric current standards of doing them, since they were just starting out, besides as having a really bad quality mic to tape their episodes. Though they admitted that at that place were some proficient jokes and points in them when they rewatched their first video in a livestream.
  • Though they don't regret recording them, some of the Chick Tract videos have gotten this towards the people they did them with, similar Steve Shives, Sargon of Akkad, and, more recently, Armoured Skeptic.
• Critical Inquiry Failure: While they generally will avert this, the same cannot exist said of the people who write the Chick Tracts and movies they expect at.
  • One small instance, though, would exist that Hannah has said several times that Family unit Guy started reference humor and fabricated it pop. In reality, reference humor has been around for a long fourth dimension. Family Guy simply has a certain brand of information technology that uses it more overtly than a lot of other shows.
  • Jordan Peterson, every bit explained twice in dissever videos, thought that the bill he opposed in his dwelling house of Canada (Bill C-16) was a compelled voice communication law that forced people to use other people's preferred pronouns if they identify as anything other than they wait, or else they'd got to jail even if they meant zero vindictive backside information technology. In reality, the bill just expanded hate offense laws to include trans people to be covered under the protections the laws already gave people of other races and sexual orientations.
  • In one of their 2020 comment response videos, They talked near an episode of Seinfeld and, for some reason, thought that the woman with "human easily" was trans and idea the show was picking on a trans person, when it was making fun of the fact that Jerry would notice a fault in a adult female having larger than normal sized hands.
• Crosses the Line Twice: A staple of their humor.
• Ensemble Nighttime Equus caballus: Harold Penisman, total terminate. A character who was originally a one-annotation new age healer in 'The Last Generation' Chick Tract became an overly awesome new age healer who gives out free drugs to alleviate pain or boredom, gives rewards to those who help him out, doesn't swallow people, likes nudists, is either gay or bi because he got most of his scar from "dick play," can peradventure time travel, is ok with incest, has a very unintentionally hilarious onesie suit, which inspired his proper noun, and has an awesome, withal hilarious, voice, all courtesy of Jake reinterpreting the Tract'due south lines and fix dressings, every bit well every bit making character decisions every bit they read the tract. This well-nigh certainly is Harold P. Penisman. Always since they first posted the video he beginning appears in, both many of their viewers, as well as Hannah and Jake, as they've retconned other tracts to establish the history of his bloodline, or establish he'due south been to time periods from before his dystopian future.
• Franchise Original Sin: Some people stopped existence fans of them around 2017/18 due to perceived increased focus on politics, particularly the left-wing kind, and increased sensation of certain hot button social bug in their videos. If you rewatch their earlier videos from before then, they had, at times, discussed political topics and other things with a more left-wing view, it'southward just that they had more blasé attitudes towards certain things, also as guests they had on the channel (for instance, they had Sargon of Akkad read a Chick Tract with them, whom they have after stated they detest for his farthermost correct-wing political views and opinions) and have outright stated that they hate how they handled certain things earlier that fourth dimension, which is why they chose to change how they go nigh things. The channel as well use to be entirely devoted to atheistic content, but has since expanded to include content based on other things.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Not a week after Hannah expressed why people similar Leonard Nimoy and David Bowie died by 2016 and not Jack Chick, Jack Chick died. This is addressed in the next Chick Tract video they made, where they read the most controversial Tract ever written that was internally-banned by the company themselves, that they said they wouldn't do, but decided to do to show how crazy Jack Chick could be, and it'south amazing how bad it is if you've seen whatsoever of their other Tract videos, or read the tracts yourself.
  • Later in 2017, the Charlottesville Riot happened a week afterward they started selling a shirt with fan art of Hannah dressed as Hitler from an one-time video from one of her history projects in schoolhouse on information technology.
• Heartwarming Moments: Ray Comfort personally sending the duo a gift basket after one of their videos about him was taken down due to a false DMCA, forth with a notation assuring them that he wasn't the i who DMCA'd it and telling them that he fully supports them in getting it back upward. Given that Comfort has a...reputation among atheists and there's no shortage of jokes made about him on the aqueduct, it'due south squeamish to run across that he's still willing to defend his opposition's liberty of speech.
  • Hannah'south coming out video, both for itself and Jake's protectiveness.
• He Really Can Act: Logicked in the "Hi There"/"Wassup" Tract reading, as he had a combination fatty, choking, and dying voice for when his character, Charlie Conners, was dying from the stake beingness impaled through his back. So much so that Hannah and Jake took a moment to applaud his performance. He also does a good job for his character in "Fallen."
  • Speaking of Hannah and Jake themselves, they both aren't half bad at phonation acting either. Jake seems to be more than comfortable, and has a larger vocal range than Hannah, but Hannah's corking at acting either. They're both also really great at improv, best seen in their Chick Tract readings of "Hi There"/Wassup," "The Terminal Generation," and "Wounded Children."
  • Steve Shives likewise pulled off a really hammy and entertaining Devil and a girl's grandmother in the "Bugged?" Tract reading.
  • Mr. Repzion also tin can act pretty well, as seen in the "Kidnapped" Tract reading.
  • Chris Ray Gun, also like Hannah and Jake, has quite a knack for improv.
• Ho Yay: Tons. Not but with each other either, as they, generally Jake, express attraction to male cast members and others involved with the movies they've seen.
• Idiot Plot: Discussed in many videos, but overly pointed out in their God's Non Dead 2 review, where the instructor was put on trial for mentioning Jesus in her class in an historical context as if that wasn't the right way to mention Jesus in a classroom in a non-Christian school.
  • They also constantly point out how every Chick Tract they read from earlier Jack Chick died, though even later on equally well most of the time, is written as if the world only has one or so Christians and the people who aren't act similar it's an entirely new concept they've never heard of, despite the vast majority of them taking place in the contemporary United States, a majority Christian country, or passed when Christianity became a major faith.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • "Me Gusta..."
  • Harold Penisman.
  • High Hannah and/or Jake from their 4/twenty episode of Inquire Hugo/Hannah.
• Misaimed Fandom: Due to having more overt expressions of their politics, every bit well as their disavowing of certain people over the years, they've understandably accept some people confused on their stances, even though they've always talked near politics and have shown their on the left. However, their more relaxed attitudes towards some things and their make of comedy taking the piss out of basically everything, likewise equally sure guests they've had on their channel, has attracted certain people to their channels who get confused when they state something they don't agree with.
• Periphery Demographic: They seem to accept ane for gay people, as there are some gay fans who mail in stuff to their P.O. box.
  • Jake's Twitch audience is equanimous of a lot of LGBTQ people in his audition cheers to his open acceptance of them and hatred of people who are intolerant of them.
• Seasonal Rot: Though yous'd most likely be hard-pressed to find someone who watches them regularly that volition say this, Hannah has said she feels this has set in to a degree at a few points. It'southward probable a joke, though.
  • They also feel that, after Jack Chick'southward death, the magic of the unintended Insane Troll Logic of the pre-2017 Tracts are slowly lowering in quality, to the point that "I See Yous" is just trying to exist straight-upwardly Nightmare Fuel in Tract form considering it doesn't take a story, or any central characters, just imagery and narration intended to evoke a paranoid reaction from those who're afraid of God, and thus is causing this trope.
• So Bad, Information technology's Good: The entire betoken of them reading Chick Tracts came from this, as they're good material to base jokes on and make fun of. They likewise signal out when the Christian movies they review count as this.
• Stock Footage Failure: In the "Jack's Terminal Tract...(Probably)" video, at the beginning, you lot can conspicuously see Jake's red shirt behind Hannah's chair. Information technology'due south a neglect considering Jake's supposed to be in Idaho still. At present, why Jake couldn't stand off camera when Hannah did the "what?...what?" affair he did, since they switched cameras for the skit anyways, we don't know.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: What, ultimately, tin be described as to why the 'Lisa' Chick Tract is so bad. You take abuse of a minor, implied bad parenting, a morbid tone, even for a Chick Tract, and a lot of other bad stuff that even Hannah and Jake'due south jokes couldn't salvage.
• Took the Bad Motion picture Seriously: Logicked started to take the "Hi There"/"Wassup" tract seriously, until he admitted to it and Jake told him not to, since they're not worth information technology.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic: Nigh times in Chick Tracts and the Christian films they look at, the people portrayed as in the wrong, or as the Designated Villains, are actually more sympathetic that the supposed "practiced guys" that come up off more than as Designated Heroes of the stories, especially if Hannah and Jake play up these aspects. It also leads to...
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: As said above, the then-called "good guys" are more of terrible people than the "bad people" in the stories. Also, God in stories from The Bible, as his logic is very questionable a lot of the fourth dimension in said stories.
• Values Dissonance: Discussed in their Bible and Quran study videos from the books beingness thousands of years erstwhile with the values of the times and cultures they were written in, as well as the Chick Tract videos and Christian film reviews, due to them being written and made past Evangelical Christians who portray the earth with their persecution complex-filled brains.
• What an Idiot!: This is, basically, Jake'south reaction to Hannah when they did the 420 episode of Inquire Hugo when Hannah started getting high before they started rather than getting sequentially more high as the video went on, as Jake was and expected she would too.
