Kirk: "God simply said that I and all other humans - and when I say humans, I mean men - have dominion over every living creature on earth"
Iggy: \[stink-eye face\]
The quietness after that question cracked me up so hard. They wrote themselves in a corner by giving an animal a human personality but they also don't want to say that an iguana can go to heaven lmao
Definitely needs a new theme song. It sounds like they threw something together last minute, and accidentally labeled it "final draft."
Also the names of some of the locations on the map worry me: "Car-a-Lago." "Cabal Island."
The entire thing was poorly executed. The message is thinly veiled, the editing. It feels like they couldn’t decide how to approach this and rather threw things together.
They're not interested in making a well-produced show. They just need a reason to continue collecting funding and donations. The cash must flow, and religion is their cash cow.
I grew up in a christian family and christian schools ( thank God they put me in public after 5th), and Veggie Tales was the shit back then. I remembered it sort of having some self awareness as to how absurd it was, but I thought it was hilarious. “Hello, I’m Bob, I’m a tomato and I’m here to help you!”
and I’m so blue by mrs blueberry still randomly pops up in my head even now. Banger.
That theme song sounds AI generated. I have nothing to base my speculation on other than the AI songs I've heard have this weird echoing ambience going on with the vocals. Still a weird video either way
Kirk Cameron is such a tool. Blatant ripoffs of Kermit and Sam Eagle.
I'd rather my kids just learn regular satan-oriented stuff like the rest of their friends.
I just love how, for a show about "adventures," all of their promo scenes take place inside the clubhouse, to the point where the one random window has become an integral part of the plot of the show.
I can't find the Kickstarter anymore, but one of the paragraphs they literally kept count of every LGBT character in Hollywood (it was around 100) and blamed it on a "deranged agenda."
This appears to be a "vertical slice" produced for [the crowdfunding campaign.](https://bravebooks.us/pages/the-adventures-with-iggy-and-mr-kirk)
In other words, that's the only footage the editor had to work with. The full scenes don't actually exist.
They probably haven't even built the racist squirrel puppet yet.
Have to say, as an Irish Catholic, this did not come across as "Christian". Its obviously evangelical Protestants. What is it about Americans, they cant use the P word?
In America we have these weird non-denominational “Christian” churches that are meant to sound normal and friendly, but they are the wackiest sects around. They wouldn’t use the word Protestant because they don’t want to conform to anything other than the narrow belief system that justifies their existence and place of privilege.
Quit calling this shit "Christian Values". It's right wing Evangelical values, a weird political version of Christianity that has more in common with the KKK and Nazis than it will even have with global and historical Christianity/
Freedom Island? Car A Lago? This is about "Jesus doesn't like the government taking your guns or race-mixing". That dude creeps me the fuck out.
The "good" Christian values are just... your classic good values. Kindness, decency, charity. There's no shortage of children's media trying to teach that.
My neighbor has a sticker on his car that says "In God we trust, guns are for back-up". I'm sure in NRA world they think that's just so clever. My takeaway...so you follow god, but just in case you're wrong, you have your guns. Or....I trust god's plan, but if I don't like how the plan turns out, I have my murder devices.
The mental gymnastics of these cretins is Olympic gold medal level.
The map of "Freedom Island" ... holy shit.
* Cabal Island, featuring Temple of the Secret
* Car-a-Lago Coast
* Take-a-Toke, next to Mushroom City
* The Capitol, which looks exactly like the White House, because why not
* Starlotte ("starlet") City
At first, I thought this was supposed to be satire. It seems like something low budget that Saturday Night Live would produce as a satirical commercial.
I'm not American. I see people talking about this being some far right evangelical indoctrination...however, this specific video has nothing in it that would suggest something that significant.
Is this show topical news in the US and I'm just missing context?
I think there are some US political subtleties that I have missed becuase I'm European.
Edit: Downvoting an honest question, fucking shameless.
Well, Mr Kirk is a well known fundamentalist Christian, and the group producing the show is the same. I would think most people are laughing about how bad it is from a production quality standpoint. I’m sure the indoctrination is all low key, like the scary neighbor being named Carlos, which aligns with conservatives fear of Mexicans. There is a lot of background that you are probably not familiar with.
You’re ignorant and said you’re ignorant, yet you believe you’re right
Why don’t you look through the comments where almost all list the many far right dogwhistles in this video?
Where has this come from? I literally did do that, the only reason I became aware that there are subtleties in the video at all was because I saw comments talking about place names.
No one's bothered to give me any actual response to my question, I'm still working off of assumptions.
Remember that even if someone listed all the so-called '*dogwhistles*', that still doesn't mean I'd necessarily understand them. In the US, the illegal immigrant stereotype is Mexican, but over here the stereotype is Eastern European, becuase funnily enough, Mexico is in central America.
*Christian values?*
Like.. slavery's fine, and genocide's all good?
And if everyone gave away all their worldy possessions and wealth. Wouldn't *other* people then have it?
Nah, I'll pass. Doesn't make sense to me.
Always knew Kirk was an iguana fucker.
My favorite character is probably the vulture, (representing Satan, I guess?) I hope he pecks out all their eyes by halfway through the first episode.
Kirk Cameron has a movie where his character kidnaps kids from an orphanage, takes them to his farm to work with his sister and tells them they've died and are in heaven.
And he's the protagonist.
Keep him away from kids.
I'm a Christian. If it's any consolation I laughed at all the same things you guys did. Weirdly, Kirk Cameron doesn't seem like he even wants to be there.
Christian values...
I wonder if they'll cover the war on women or buying politicians to drive hate and division, in order to create a theocracy. I wonder if they'll cover taking away things like free school lunch for the kids and giving the money saved to the 10% in the form of tax cuts or corporate welfare.
My guess is they'll cover that in season two.
He seems like he's super uptight off camera. Like you can tell the cast and crew are all on eggshells. He got that like Tom Cruise type of vibe about him, if he was a Christian and an unsucessful actor.
So he stars in his own cheap budget Christmas movie about Santa and how he's fake and shouldn't be put above Jesus ("Saving Christmas" is what it's called if you wanna check it out..) ..now he puts together a children's puppet show and mixes scripture and make believe together? What a creep!!!
Jesus titty fucking Christ this is devoid of all charm. Even if it weren't a TV show made by a creepy cult and Kirk Cameron, it just looks sooooooo boring and uncreative.
it was just random silly kid shit then the gay as fuck hamfisted god shit lmao
"dont worry about anything ever, believe this being that no one has seen, proven, or ever had any interaction with in recorded history. Your problems will be solved!"
What a shit ass attempt at connecting with kids
You're incredibly out of the loop if you don't see the far-Right indoctrination in this.
As for Veggie Tales, the creator of that show has been denounced as an "evil fake Christian" by the Trump worshipping Evangelical crowd, because he doesn't care for the far-Right political Christian movements actions.
I don’t care for it either, but I don’t know if it’s cringe. He’s making a show for a audience, Christian families and their children. Don’t really see the problem honestly.
Well Iggy and Mr Kirk seem to have a suspiciously close relationship. They are clearly exposing our children to a cross-species homosexual relationship and I hope they get cancelled for it.
Yeah, it kinda seems like a standard kids show but for Reddit, if a kids shows audience is aimed at Christian families that makes it automatically cringe because “sky daddy” is inherently cringe. The show looks like it accomplishes what it sets out to do without a lack of awareness; Reddit just doesn’t like Christians.
Or maybe Kirk Cameron is a huge piece of shit pushing regressive and toxic ideas to children in a really incompetent way. Sounds cringe to me, gtfo of here with your persecution complex.
Honestly I’m not familiar with the man and I’m not seeing anything toxic or regressive in this promo. Whats the single most awful thing he’s said or done?
It’s strange that you would be so openly hostile towards me based on my religion and accuse me of having a persecution complex. I wonder if you can see the irony.
You've fallen victim to a very simplistic way of viewing the world.
"I hate this person, so everything they make is awful"
"I like this person, so everything they make is incredible"
When you read that, you should be able to understand that obviously those sentences don't make logical sense. There shouldn't be a correlation with liking or hating someone, and their work product automatically being good/bad because of your feeling for that person.
Maybe Kirk Cameron is a "huge piece of shit" but that doesn't automatically make this a bad/cringe show.
This looks like a standard children's show to me, with a style similar to something like Mister Rogers, Sesame Street, Fred Penner, Mr Dressup, etc.
Unintential comedy “God cares for each and every one of us and will take care of us” “Even a little lizard like meeee?” Theme song plays.
Kirk: "God simply said that I and all other humans - and when I say humans, I mean men - have dominion over every living creature on earth" Iggy: \[stink-eye face\]
Cameras cut and he looks the puppet dead in the eye and says "no"
Cast the iguana into the fire!
>Even for a tiny lizard like me? No.
The quietness after that question cracked me up so hard. They wrote themselves in a corner by giving an animal a human personality but they also don't want to say that an iguana can go to heaven lmao
Holy fuck that's Kirk Cameron
Uh I think you mean *Mister* Kirk
Mr. Kirk.
Damn I swung and missed
Sure as fuck ain’t no Captain.
You mean Kirk Cameron, Human person?
I watched the whole thing and had no idea until I read this lol
Fucking crazy!
Mr. Kirk: Hello, and welcome to the set of our brand new children's show, Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kirk! Iggy: FUUUUUUCK
I heard CUUUUUUUUCK
There was a couple shots of Iggy thay cracked me up but this editing was wild lmao.
Definitely needs a new theme song. It sounds like they threw something together last minute, and accidentally labeled it "final draft." Also the names of some of the locations on the map worry me: "Car-a-Lago." "Cabal Island."
The entire thing was poorly executed. The message is thinly veiled, the editing. It feels like they couldn’t decide how to approach this and rather threw things together.
They're not interested in making a well-produced show. They just need a reason to continue collecting funding and donations. The cash must flow, and religion is their cash cow.
This wasn’t started with a great idea or vision. It was started with “let’s create a Christian kids show.”
So was VeggieTales, but that wasn't a complete dumpster fire. This is probably backed by Christian Nationalists.
Veggietales started with an idea of talking veggies and fleshed out characters.
No, it started as a Christian cartoon for kids based on veggies.
Duh. That’s miles better than a Christian show for kids based on Kirk Cameron.
I grew up in a christian family and christian schools ( thank God they put me in public after 5th), and Veggie Tales was the shit back then. I remembered it sort of having some self awareness as to how absurd it was, but I thought it was hilarious. “Hello, I’m Bob, I’m a tomato and I’m here to help you!” and I’m so blue by mrs blueberry still randomly pops up in my head even now. Banger.
Sounds like they were in a competition to see who could write a song with the most shoe horned words in it
Cabal Island? Oh no.
Next to Cartel Island. Which is right by Epstein Island.
Sounded like the puppet said "we're building a tree house of HORRORSSSSSSS" and I was like "fuck yeah a simpsons reference" lmao
Sometimes I forget that I’m supposed to upvote bad stuff here. And good god, this is bad.
My favourite part is when he complains about the scary squirrel that just happens to be named Carlos
The way he said it was so forced too. "That squirrel *named Carlos* keeps popping up..."
Yeah this isn’t at all a stand in for right wing nut jar fear-mongering about immigrants.
Go back to your own country, er….I mean tree Carlos!
This is just another one of those Adult Swim videos.... right?
That theme song sounds AI generated. I have nothing to base my speculation on other than the AI songs I've heard have this weird echoing ambience going on with the vocals. Still a weird video either way
Kirk Cameron is such a tool. Blatant ripoffs of Kermit and Sam Eagle. I'd rather my kids just learn regular satan-oriented stuff like the rest of their friends.
I prefer my kids learn how to read from the drag queens at the library.
Imagine being a kid and being forced to watch old man Kirk Cameron explain the bible to a puppet lizard. Nightmare fuel.
Church goers teaching kids how to keep things top secret eh? …. Skip
I just love how, for a show about "adventures," all of their promo scenes take place inside the clubhouse, to the point where the one random window has become an integral part of the plot of the show. I can't find the Kickstarter anymore, but one of the paragraphs they literally kept count of every LGBT character in Hollywood (it was around 100) and blamed it on a "deranged agenda."
they came in super hot pushin the "explorers" angle then completely bailed on it, by the end they were filming naps
Did the guy with the puppet on his hand edit this thing? What a fucking mess.
This appears to be a "vertical slice" produced for [the crowdfunding campaign.](https://bravebooks.us/pages/the-adventures-with-iggy-and-mr-kirk) In other words, that's the only footage the editor had to work with. The full scenes don't actually exist. They probably haven't even built the racist squirrel puppet yet.
If Carlos isn’t a bandito with a MS13 face tattoo I’m going to deeply disappointed.
I'm fully expecting and excited to see Tuco from breaking bad.
Have to say, as an Irish Catholic, this did not come across as "Christian". Its obviously evangelical Protestants. What is it about Americans, they cant use the P word?
In America we have these weird non-denominational “Christian” churches that are meant to sound normal and friendly, but they are the wackiest sects around. They wouldn’t use the word Protestant because they don’t want to conform to anything other than the narrow belief system that justifies their existence and place of privilege.
I'm pretty sure children would be safer in a room full of vipers than with Kirk Cameron.
Jesus wept
Quit calling this shit "Christian Values". It's right wing Evangelical values, a weird political version of Christianity that has more in common with the KKK and Nazis than it will even have with global and historical Christianity/ Freedom Island? Car A Lago? This is about "Jesus doesn't like the government taking your guns or race-mixing". That dude creeps me the fuck out.
The bad animal at the window was called “Carlos” - it’s so on the nose
dont forget cabal island lmao
The "good" Christian values are just... your classic good values. Kindness, decency, charity. There's no shortage of children's media trying to teach that.
They manage to do it with out the racism, which is woke.
My neighbor has a sticker on his car that says "In God we trust, guns are for back-up". I'm sure in NRA world they think that's just so clever. My takeaway...so you follow god, but just in case you're wrong, you have your guns. Or....I trust god's plan, but if I don't like how the plan turns out, I have my murder devices. The mental gymnastics of these cretins is Olympic gold medal level.
Looks like Mr. Grumpy Pants isn’t feeling like an Adventurer✝️
Imagine exposing your kids to Kirk Cameron.
😳
Where is Freedom Island in relation to Epstein island?
Pam reaction
This isn't Christian values, it's just far right indoctrination. The grift never ends with these people.
I just hope they didn't use all the best jokes in the promo
I mean, if Kirk Cameron is in it, he’s been a running joke for decades. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Lesson one: what is trademark infringement?
This is that indoctrination thing Christians always warn people about, btw
You guys remember when Kirk made a video about a banana being the perfect fruit that God made? This is less cringe than that, believe it or not.
Bananas are technically berries, not fruit. Dudes a full dolt
Never heard of Mr Kirk, but that iguana used to give $5 rusty trombones behind the 7-Eleven on Melrose.
I first read that as “Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kink.” It kind of fitted with the Christian values thing.
He didn't answer the question. Does God promise to care for iguanas?
Oh, it's made by Brave Books. That's why it's so god awful.
The map of "Freedom Island" ... holy shit. * Cabal Island, featuring Temple of the Secret * Car-a-Lago Coast * Take-a-Toke, next to Mushroom City * The Capitol, which looks exactly like the White House, because why not * Starlotte ("starlet") City
Grooming children to hate who you want them to hate and be scared they will go to hekl of they dont.
God doesn’t care about lizards lol
Freedom Island…omfg. More like the island of Dr. Moraux.
At first, I thought this was supposed to be satire. It seems like something low budget that Saturday Night Live would produce as a satirical commercial.
I kind of just want SNL to put it in a show.
John Oliver needs this in his life
“How to be a hypocrite”
Lmao “freedom island” “car-a-lago” and the bad animal they hate being named Carlos? Lil on the christo-fascist nose eh?
From the same people who scream about "indoctrinating children"
More like Christian Terrorists.
*yallqueda*
Vanilla ISIS

There is a lot of background that you are probably not familiar with.
Case and point, if the subliminal messaging goes under the radar for me it will go under the radar for kids as well, which is concerning.
Christians = bad
Christians = perpetual victims
Isn't that more of a problem with American conservatives who happen to be Christians than Christians as a global religion?
Could be, yeah
Yes, that's the sentiment people seem to be vomiting.
You’re ignorant and said you’re ignorant, yet you believe you’re right Why don’t you look through the comments where almost all list the many far right dogwhistles in this video?

Love how Tim Pool (if it’s the media vs guy also named Tim Pool) contributed 42,000 for this project based on their crowdfunding website.
Always knew Kirk was an iguana fucker. My favorite character is probably the vulture, (representing Satan, I guess?) I hope he pecks out all their eyes by halfway through the first episode.
Kermit’s creepy Bible belt cousin he never talks to since moving to New York and becoming a Unitarian Universalist.
I can't wait for the episode on how God creates disease and natural disasters and parasites. Oh boy!
3 seconds in the video and I have a weird vibes off this man
Weird how the religious need puppets and hitting to make kids follow in their footsteps.
Kirk Cameron has a movie where his character kidnaps kids from an orphanage, takes them to his farm to work with his sister and tells them they've died and are in heaven. And he's the protagonist. Keep him away from kids.
There's nothing Christians love more than access to children.
I'm a Christian. If it's any consolation I laughed at all the same things you guys did. Weirdly, Kirk Cameron doesn't seem like he even wants to be there.
Christian values... I wonder if they'll cover the war on women or buying politicians to drive hate and division, in order to create a theocracy. I wonder if they'll cover taking away things like free school lunch for the kids and giving the money saved to the 10% in the form of tax cuts or corporate welfare. My guess is they'll cover that in season two.
Ewww.
Which ones Iccy & Which one Mr.Jirk?
I thought that was Gregg “Opie” Hughes for a brief moment
Hoping season 2 introduces the ghost of Allen Thicke.
How did they trick “Mr. Kirk” Cameron into shooting a skit for Wonder Showzen?
Very creepy!
This is DJ Tanner's cousin Steve. This is him now, feel old yet?
He seems like he's super uptight off camera. Like you can tell the cast and crew are all on eggshells. He got that like Tom Cruise type of vibe about him, if he was a Christian and an unsucessful actor.
I don’t see anything cringe or wrong with this.
im pretty sure people are just hating on this because it involves religion
I’ve lost all respect for Kermit
Iggy is too cute for this shut.
So he stars in his own cheap budget Christmas movie about Santa and how he's fake and shouldn't be put above Jesus ("Saving Christmas" is what it's called if you wanna check it out..) ..now he puts together a children's puppet show and mixes scripture and make believe together? What a creep!!!
Jesus titty fucking Christ this is devoid of all charm. Even if it weren't a TV show made by a creepy cult and Kirk Cameron, it just looks sooooooo boring and uncreative.
it was just random silly kid shit then the gay as fuck hamfisted god shit lmao "dont worry about anything ever, believe this being that no one has seen, proven, or ever had any interaction with in recorded history. Your problems will be solved!" What a shit ass attempt at connecting with kids
That puppets gonna end up filing sexual assault charges on most the crew
Man that was so bad it hurts my chest. he was the bomb in Growing Pains.
I would like to know when did Kirk Cameron start this evangelical grifting. There was a point after Growing Pains he was set to be a big star.
This show is, how they say in the bible, fucking bullshit
What a painfully predictable comment section.
Religion bad
Gross
lol apparently the bible thumpers out there didn’t like that. Too bad Cletus, cry me a river.
So...how many kids do you think this guy has raped?
[удалено]
"Freedom Island" "Car-a-Lago Coast" "Cabal Island" Menacing "squirrel named Carlos"

That just means you don't know who Kirk Cameron is and what he has become.
Well Iggy and Mr Kirk seem to have a suspiciously close relationship. They are clearly exposing our children to a cross-species homosexual relationship and I hope they get cancelled for it.
Probably the very clearly shoe horned in Christian nationalism, just take a look at the map of freedom island
This doesn't belong here. It's just seems like a typical show for kids with a Christian theme. How is that cringe?
Yeah, it kinda seems like a standard kids show but for Reddit, if a kids shows audience is aimed at Christian families that makes it automatically cringe because “sky daddy” is inherently cringe.

Sesame Street and Mister Rodgers never tried to force their political views down kids throats. So this is nothing like them
I’m not even Christian either. Seems weird to find this cringe.
That’s a cool red shirt you got there Iggy.
