Children asking awesomely weird questions about Jesus
From the show Outnumbered, which I now intend to watch the heck out of after I find it free online somewhere…

I feel an obligation to point out that although the scenarios in the show are scripted, the dialogue is improvised (even/particularly by the children)
I read that somewhere, which makes me all the more excited to check it out.
I just about died at the till-the-sun-dies line.
Do you think it would be as funny without the British accents?
I was cracking up though, good stuff.
Absolutely not. But that, I suppose, is part of the genius. Irish accents would be an even greater improvement.
oh, these children were simply brilliant. did i just watch 10 minutes of this show on youtube with my three-year-old? maybe.
i wondered about the accents as well. hm. i think it would be as funny, but not as endearing. that little girl is my new favorite actor.
I don’t think I could correct my kids if they said “stoopid” with a British accent — love it!
A Northern Irish (UK/Irish) reader comments again: I adore this show and really reccommend it!
Cute, but still I almost stopped watching halfway through… So glad I didn’t, though; the polar bear bit is the best part! “He would zap him.”
That was hilarious.
Damn the Polar Bears I’m with Zappin’ Jesus…FTW!
my life is better after watching this
I love this show!
Would love to know what you think after seeing more of it too – made my american flatmate watch it and she just didn’t get it. I wondered if the humour was just too british but maybe not after all
oh. on behalf of the united states, i’d like to declare it as very funny.
Guess it should be on tbs then…
I’m American and almost exclusively watch British TV. Your flatmate clearly doesn’t know what’s up
I’ve been looking all over the place to find a way to watch this online! No luck so far…
I’ve also tried finding this free online in the past. No luck here either!
If you find a place online to watch it, you must share it! That made my night.
Oh! My daughter auditioned for an American version of this show two years ago, and nothing ever came of it. Let me just say, I thought the script was nothing w/o the adorable British accents of the Children!
Three seasons of episodes can be watched online here: http://tv.blinkx.com/show/outnumbered/gMPi9M9j0lj6cOrS
Steve FTW! Thanks!!!
That just made my day! I love British humor.
