At 0:39, when he says "My name is John Daker", it's not him introducing himself. It's him coming to the realization.

Left brain: "We need an ambulance." Right brain: "Whep."

John Daker (after the show) “Thank goodness only 5 people watch public access television.” - 30 years and 3.4 million KZfaq views later...

Jon Daker passed away in February 2022 at age 82. RIP. Thank you for this (unintended) gift.

Alternate title: Two aliens in skin suits attempt to blend in at a church meeting

Oh, cut him a break. It can't be an easy life being a member of the Fersh Yooni Mefduff Chursh.

Reva's piano introductions are basically a passive aggressive guessing game.

Despite the subtitles, the woman just has a heavy accent, but John over here is almost certainly fading in and out of consciousness.

The little "whep" always gets me

Came for the whep. Stayed for the scrum screeee.

I have said “Whep?” every time a situation has gone sideways in the past 12 years thanks to this great man.

I've never seen speech rendered into subtitles with such cruel precision.

Never judge a man by his "whep". Unless he forgets his "scrum scree".

“Dits...you’re in LOVE...” *EYEBROWS AMPLIFY*

There are 55 years worth of Reva Unsicker stories in that town. And I would love to hear every single one of them.

I like the passion and confidence with which he sing “you’re in love” at 1:52 after all the prior awkwardness

When you swim in the sea, And an eel bites your knee, that's a Moray

This is like when you try to sing quieter with everybody else because you can't remember the lines...except it's only him.

Rest In Peace, John Daker. You may have forgotten your name for a second there, but we’ll remember you for as long as the moon hits our eyes like big pizza pies.

I love the confidence with which he delivers the few lines he knows. "You're in looove" "Back in old Napoli

Whenever I get into a bad argument with my wife and start thinking about divorce, I just sit back for a minute, take a few deep breaths and remind myself, "dits....... You're in love."

"Yo, Dakes, you gonna practice for your performance tonight?" "Nah, cuz. I'mma wing it."

watching this and reading these comments is the hardest i've laughed all quarantine

Love how the smug eyebrow raising is followed by the terrified face of a man who doesn’t know the words

I love the little eyebrow wiggle at 1:01. He's just like "Yeah, nailed it. You like that?" And then IMMEDIATELY forgets his place.

He said his name as a gentle reminder to the pianist that he was, in fact, there. He had taken the gig reluctantly, as he was well aware of Reva's reputation for playing everything in compounded uptempo. The longer she played, the faster she got, until the crucial 180bpm at which point she would drop the bass and then it was every man for himself.

So beautiful, I wheped.

Every Easter they sing “Christ the lord is risen today” in church and without fail my brother and I will always drop our voices a few octaves and pay tribute to our true lord and savior, John daker.

To whoever did the subtitles, I want you to subtitle EVERYTHING

A lot of people cracked up at this video. Datincludesme

rest in peace, John Daker! You've brought so much joy to all of us.

Reva is playing lightning fast because she has a meatloaf in the oven at home.

His eyebrows knew the words.

"dits......YOU'RE IN LOVE"

If you can't handle me at my "whep" then you don't deserve me at my "scrum scree"

Well, it's Easter and I'm here again for my yearly dose of John Daker.

When the moon hits your knees and you mispronounce trees Sycamore

"A song that is very popular nowadays." Ah yes, I remember the 90s "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" craze

Y’know, upon closer inspection she never said they were singing That’s Amore by Harry Warren. She said ‘annis gonna do ammorah too’. After some dissection it seems to be a free improvisation based on the above mentioned piece.

"Al, where AM I?" "Sam, Ziggy says you're a church singer named 'John Daker'..." "M-my name... is John Daker.?" "Yes, Sam! Now, SING!" "Oh boy...."

I looked in our hymnal in church and “my name is John Dakur “ is definitely not the first line in “Jesus Christ is risen today.”

"My name is John Daker..." *E M P T I N E S S*

Rest in peace, patron saint of church music. I expect your wheps will fill the halls of heaven to eternity.

Y'know how much I love this video? At my wedding reception I had the DJ play Christ the Lord is Risen Today followed by Amore. People were very confused about why the first song was playing, then when Amore came on, slightly fewer people were confused.

I always start a song with stating my full name.

I don't think this man has realised how much joy, laughter and cringe he has brought to the world...

When you ticketickey tay so hard you scrum scree

If anyone needed a transcript to work on this piece themselves, it really shows the lyrical ins and outs to see it set to stanzas: When the moon hits your eye, Like a big Preetza Pie. That’s amoreee. Whep? - - - - - - - - - yrgn ’s amoreee Bells will ring Ting a la ling Tingawlinnnnng as a bell, Bing Mawrayyyeee .. ngg… Ticketickey tay - - - - - t’say hmm Amawrayyyee. - aloopa scrum scree - - mmmmm Mr. Moraaayyee -- mmmmmm Osh shines hmmm Dits… You’re in love… When you know that you fnnn Nnnsome more ayyeeerr S’me but you see back in old Napoli That’s amoreee

The subtitles make it so much better

I thank God everyday that Reverent Jones, Bill Jones, was nawt hurr dunite.

It's Easter Morning, y'all just been to church by watching this video. Go in peace to serve each other.

Does not matter how sad I am, This video cracks me up everytime. Just watched it for the 1031031 time and whelp! I cried laughing. So John, Thank you.

A rare example of a cover that surpasses the original

Not enough people realize the lady is rushing, which is why John is having trouble getting the lines out

Glad I'm not the only one who returns to this video every year to celebrate Easter.

They sang the first song in church today and I couldn't handle it. 🤣

John Daker interview: "I don't get on the internet often, but when I do, eyebrows"

Who would even THINK of a "Christ The Lord..."/"That's Amore" medley to begin with? 🤔 Also, that lady just took off and left him in the dust; she just wanted to get this over with. 😂

Some days you feel bwaag and other times you feel Whep.

If you're a church musician and make this regular Easter listening hats off to you. RIP John Daker the Legend

dits... you're in loooooooove

Ahhh... I remember when I used to scrum scree back in old Napoli. Those were the days.

I see nothing wrong with this performance. Absolute perfection. Thank you, Mr. Daker.

RIP Mr. Daker The next time I whep, I will think of you. I will never listen to Christ the Lord is Risen Today in any other way except your way. It's even more popular nowadays because of you. May God welcome you with triumphs foiiiii!!!!! The bells are ringing!!! Tingalingaling!

I've scrum screed my way through a song or two

I'd consider becoming a christian if I got this show every sunday.

I've cried a lot of sad tears lately. This video & comments brought the first happy tears in a long time. Scrum scree, Reva & John!

Typed "whep" in the search bar to find this video again and it worked! 😂😂😂

“Whep?” That killed me🤦🏾‍♀️😂

My whole life has been leading up to the moment that I'd seen this video.

2020--Celebrating with my favorite Easter hymn.

the "that's....... you're in LOOOVE" with the eyebrow raise breaks me everytime

when the dna test says the baby is yours, that's a-maury

This is like something straight out of Tim and Eric.

RIP to a real one. We will miss you Mr Daker.

You ever laughed so hard that you had to just lay down and pass out. That’s me. I just regained consciousness.

i love how he interrupts the music to say my name is john daker

Wow I don't think I've ever seen someone watch their soul leave their body as viciously as this.

This still lives in my head rent free.

Because Our Lord has Risen Today and Amore just go together so well.

Lyrics: 'Ord is risen today Aaahhhhhhggglaylooooya Sut's of men and angels sayy Aaahhhhhhggglaylooooya ...'ts your voicean triumphs fooooiiii Aaahhhhhhggglaylooooya sn'boyce in taoooowl Aaahhhhhhhhhhhooooooo uulgh!

Fun fact: As a child Reva never lost one single game of tag.

Jon Graham Daker, son, brother, faithful Christian, and accidental internet star, reportedly passed away yesterday, February 20, 2022, in Peoria, Illinois. Born in 1939, he was 82 years old

As funny as the subtitles are, I feel like his facial expressions are underappreciated. Especially the part after "whep", his eyebrow raise at "you're in love" and "Napoli", and how confident and serious he tried to look at "nnnsome more aye"

this is like one of those nightmares where you're supposed to sing on stage but you have forgotten all the lyrics!

Every element of this is understandable on its own, but the fact that they are all happening at once makes the perfect storm of hilarity. John Daker, if you ever read this, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

THIS is the content I look for from KZfaq.

I love at 0:34 shes like, angry "and he's gonna do Amore too, OKAY???" Like "okay??? You understand??? You got a problem with that?" Lol!

My chorus teacher showed this in class as a "what not to do"

This John Daker classic and Henrietta and Myrna singing “Go Tell It On The Mountain” are legendary!!!

Happy Easter 2024 everyone! “Greater love hath no man than this, than a man lay down his life for his friends.” Now that’s amoreee!

That look at the end is like: “I think I might have got away with that...” 😂

I've seen this before but that's the hardest I've laughed in years. My abdomen hurts. Tears wet my face. This is the best. "Whep!" kills me.

Happy Easter 2022 I come here to pay homage every Easter.

As a piano teacher the fault lies with the teacher. Not listening to her singer is her biggest problem. Next the tempo was too fast...was there a fire in the building?🔥Accompaniment is an art in itself.

1:27 "Bells will ring, ting-a-la-ling" "Tingawlinnnng as a bell" Bing mawrayyyee.

Sounds like John Daker needs a software update

Rip John, I’m sure you’re singing it up there in glory.

Missing our beloved Mr. Daker this Easter. Rest In Peace!

Took KZfaq 9 years to bring this to me. My sides literally hurt from laughing. 😂🤣
