interviewer: but he gave you replacement kids, though, right? job: yeah, but the new ones were ugly and stupid

the interviewer is isaac chotiner

job: I'd really like to focus on the new album.

interviewer: what's with that iced coffee?

interviewer: did God say why he killed your kids? job: apparently he has a gambling problem

Do we have to go through this every year

interviewer: did god tell you that bringing that iced coffee to an interview was acceptable?

Unc still got it

<maintaining eye contact> I hear you do the Lord's work here at the ACME factory.

Jerry no

[Joe Rogan]: wow that’s crazy

[continuing] interviewer: can't help but notice you brought an iced coffee here

Remember Job…

Ha!!!

David Puddy...as JOB, "God's Favorite!" Now, at the Neil Simon Theatre!

I stand corrected! How Ashkenazi-centric of me.

and during the week before yom kippur the high priest would study job (as well as ezra, chronicles, and daniel) in the temple complex

In fairness, it was Satan that did the killing on contract.

Good job on the job joke

Lmfao

Lucille: I don't care for Job

Interviewer: so overtime and travel won't be an issue?

interviewer: and you're fine with that? job: he gave me new ones after he won his bet with Satan.

@elizabethbsf.bsky.social

job: I've made a huge mistake.

job interview or Job interview?

nice

“Someone” lol. Wasn’t it a bet?

This is infuriatingly clever.

Cue the evangelical atheists

lol, me too! It took me a moment to realize what was going on.

I rarely laugh at jokes, but I made an exception.

bro, STILL too soon!

Mmm, a kid is a kid.

Loving the very funny replies to this, but wishing the people making them had checked their sources: God doesn't kill anyone. Satan does. (Job 1:12) Why yes, I *am* fun at parties; why do you ask?

Don't tell Isaac Chotiner!

Took me like 4 reads before I got it. Pronunciation is key.

Agreed. Satan is simply 'the accuser' - not a name. And of course Job is one of the oldest books - perhaps even the oldest book in scripture.

Bildad the Shuite: That's nonsense. Me and the Angel did our best to prevent that. I mean, What?

I actually giggled out loud

There is a version called the Wicked Bible, but the wickedness is in a different book. (It’s the 1631 KJV edition where the commandment in Exodus 20:14 reads “thou shalt commit adultery”.)

dad joke

God's done that before.
