Channel 595 continues to be the maddest – and therefore the greatest – channel in the world. Discuss.

OK peeps, you’re gonna need to find 7 minutes to spare, and before you watch, you sort of have to read this…

In this clip, Gilbert Deya’s TV station, DBN (Sky channel 595) is up to its superlative craziness again. Look out for:

1) The way Gilbert Deya snatches his mobile phone to check his text message while they are singing
2) Have you ever seen a TV presenter just get up and leave in the middle of a show because he was ‘too sleepy’?
3) Listen out for what sounds like arguing in the background once Deya has left
4) Watch the other presenter try to make up stuff for three minutes
5) Now – this is the best bit: KEEP WATCHING – yes – through the whole boring bit at the end, because I guarantee you will not find a sweeter punchline to any clip than this. Just listen out for it. The last few secs. Ahh it’s is so worth the wait…

Now you may watch:

    I waited 7 whole minutes … and then it hit me … and yes it was worth it.

    “There are Christians and then there are Christians … and some Christians who are half and half.”

    Thank Jesus for Gilbert Deya and DBN!!! That ending has quite literally knocked my socks off.

    This is the guy who created all of those “Miracle Births” a few years ago, isn’t it?

    Sweet dreams, Archbishop Deya.

  • Nick

    LMAO you are right, I was starting to get bored but I stuck it to the end and busted out laughing, what on earth, why would the caller wait till then?? XD

  • Tom Daylight

    Hang on, it says “recorded phone-in”, why the hell didn’t they bother editing it?!!

    Arf! Poor love.

  • Kelda

    Oh that was genius. Absolutely genius. I bet the woman was praying for Jesus to send her the money to pay for her enourmous phone bill.

    Oh Em Gee. The ending took it to another level. So glad I watched all seven minutes. Thank you! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

  • http://www.robertpopper.com Robert Popper

    Your pleasure Sir.

  • Tom Mitchell

    Is he drinking beer?

  • Tom Mitchell

    I also very much like the sound accompanying Deya’s exit.

  • Tim Atkins

    Mind blowing. I know what my set will be tuned into later. It really is utterly remarkable. I fully appreciate you bringing this to our attentions.

  • http://lejazz.co.uk Pete

    He done a little burp too. That made me laugh

  • Sean O’Brien

    I love the creeking door sounds in the background like it’s being filmed in a community centre or something!

  • Ian B

    I trusted you, Mr Popper.

    You did not disappoint.

  • http://www.perpendicular-universe.com Cooper

    Oh Lordy that ending is outstanding. I would have stopped watching had you not said. Good work sir. Glourious.

  • Pete Hewitt

    Does anyone else get the impression that the “please text: +44″ instruction ends in that mobile he keeps checking?

  • http://www.robertpopper.com Robert Popper

    Thanks!

  • http://www.robertpopper.com Robert Popper

    Oh – I didn’t notice that. Nice!

  • Turbo Cowboy

    I love the sms alarm sound on his cell (aka the tweeting sound) :D

  • riChchestMat

    Holy shit you weren’t kidding

  • Adam K

    genius, including:

    - he asks her to say Thank You Jesus – 7 times (the last being the loudest) but she only manages 6.

    - no one answers the phone in the background

    -when talking about where the caller is from they refer to the magical continent “Europa” or did I dream that

  • Thadrakat

    As brilliant and subtle as Deya’s megalomania and the remarkable solo performance of that other guy are, I’m afraid they can’t dislodge the Austin Public Access crew from that special place in my heart… Cookin Good with Arcie and Shasta, the cultists, this poor insane woman (http://www.break.com/usercontent/2008/3/Crazy-Lady-468106.html) and more. What public access is ABOUT.

  • Kev Pick

    Brilliant. I also like the ‘sleepiness’ and vurping burps. Exactly what tincture is in their drinks?

    To start with I thought they were singing “Automatic Cod Reserve!” I wonder whether Robin Cooper has ever thought of making a phone call to this wondrous telechannel?

  • http://www.robertpopper.com Robert Popper

    Hilarious. Automatic cod reserve! Yes I managed to get through to the channel finally, two days ago. Will post some time.

  • Wowser

    I like the bit…

    “Thank you Je…”

    “ONE!”

    “Thank you J…”

    “TWO!”

  • Joellifer

    I like, “SEEVVVEEENNN” (shutup now countinglady). This clip frustrates me so much: crazyman #2 seems to prefer Gilbert Deya to Jesus. O yes, just to clarify Jesus doesn’t demand that people donate to DBN in order to be healed.
    Do you think she’s still there? Waiting patiently on the end of the line for the 7th ‘thankyou Jesus?’

  • Joellifer

    Mr Popper, I’m awfully sorry, I obviously do not want to have this published but are you the Co-op humblebee? I evidently only watch Neighbours in order to catch the wondrous (most mathematical) bee but after a summer of Australian soap, the novelty of bumble mathematics has not worn off.

  • http://www.robertpopper.com Robert Popper

    Ahem. Um…er…

  • passLion

    The other presenter’s blinking A LOT!

  • AWard

    If you can find a clip of his evening programme (around 8.15pm on Thursday, 17th September 2009) PLEASE, PLEASE put it on your website. The clip I am referring to is the “healing” of a man who, in Mr Deya’s – oops, sorry, I mean Archbishop Deya’s – words “has not had a wee wee for TWO WHOLE YEARS!!!” What follows (this chappy with the urine problem announcing his problem before describing his first ‘slash’ for 2 years) is classic Channel 595: lots of dancing, etc., etc. followed by a wonderful comment from Gilbert and his co-host. I just wish I’d videoed it…

  • http://www.robertpopper.com Robert Popper

    If only I could go back in time. Wow that sounds incredible.

  • Pie

    Where oh where has Channel 595 gone? What has happened to Archbishop Gilbert Deya? My lifr just isn’t the same anymore without my daily dose of miracles, phone-ins and the words “thankyou Jesus” being repeated over and over again… Maybe you could commission a Channel 4 series for him and his craaaaazzzzzzzzyy gang?
