Good grief. At first I thought it was a spoof.

Imagine seeing Satan and demons in every damn thing like that.

I especially like the pitch to send them money at the end (at 5:20).

I know, it seems like a great SNL sketch. Dang, I just wish I'd known that He-Man was more powerful than Jesus. That was my problem, I was praying to the wrong superhero.

Magic 8 balls should be used by each stake patriarch when giving a blessing. They are exceedingly accurate. That is to say, magic 8 balls are exceedingly more accurate than patriarchal blessings.

You gotta be careful with them though, sometimes they speak as a man.

Didn’t you know? That is how they do the blessings. Before your blessing he went in a room with his 8 Ball to ask the questions.

“Is Brother Cludgie a descendant of Joseph through the loins of Ephriam?”
MOST LIKELY

“Was Brother Cludgie valiant in the pre-existence?”
CONCENTRATE AND ASK AGAIN

(Concentrating) “Was Brother Cludgie valiant in the pre-existence?”
IT IS DECIDEDLY SO

“Will Brother Cludgie succumb to the temptation to break the Word of Wisdom through consumption of hot drinks?”
MY SOURCES SAY NO

Will Brother Cludgie be the father to the future prophet of God?
CANNOT PREDICT NOW

“Were Brother Cludgie’s mansions in heaven prepared for him before the foundation of the world?”
SIGNS POINT TO YES

“Will Brother Cludgie remain true and faithful to the one and only true church?”
OUTLOOK GOOD

Yup. About the same likelihood of predicting the future whether you use the Magic 8 Ball or the patriarch.

I think I've just caught you reading my patriarchal blessing.

Yeah, I have to admit that I was thinking of a different type of toy when I read the title. You know, the kind you can't buy at Toys 'R Us :)
