How not drawing a cartoon is funnier than the cartoon


Recommended Posts

By way of explanation, what you see is the 'reveal' point in the sketch in which the 'artist' ... he had talked about being able to draw anything having been a creative art major in college, etc. and they were competing for a million dollar prize. The game show host tasked him with drawing a picture of the prophet Muhammad ... which, of course, is prohibited in Islam just as saying the name of God is prohibited in Judaism (under the graven image prohibition from the old testament.)

 

I actually do kind of appreciate Muhammad's prohibition because, could you imagine the number of coins, bills and flags what would no doubt be some Ayatollah looking character would appear on otherwise. He saved us from all that :)

I watched the complete skit on YT. Decently funny. Best part was at the end.

 

ETA: One of the things I appreciate most about good actors is their ability to convey emotion with a simple facial expression.
