@Sexgod 69 Herod was also someone who was intrigued by prophets and was keen to hear what John the Baptist had to say before his wife tricked him into having him executed. The only reason he sends him back to Pilate is because Jesus won't indulge him and probably after the crap he had to take for killing the Baptist he isn't likely to want to have another popular prophet executed especially since (as some of the Gospels say) he found Jesus innocent.

@@lgmmrm your initial comment indicates that Herod (assumedly referring to Antipas) was deceiving the people he ruled by being a gentile and holding contempt toward them. If you really meant this only on an ethnic basis then sure, it would be wrong to call the Herods fully Jewish. But I don't think this is a particularly useful definition of Jewish identity. After all, the Ancient Israelites were ethnically just Canaanites. But beyond this semantics point, it is entirely baseless and out of line with history to say that Antipas "hated Jews." The archaeology and historical data alike point to the Herods as being practicing Jews with great sympathy toward the people of Judea while also recognizing the insurmountability of Roman rule.

I have seen a few different versions now and Rik Mayall is the only one who I think does it right. All the other versions seem to focus on the flashiness and "silliness" of Herod. Rik Mayall seems genuinely threatening, while also being flashy. He doesn't just get across the "you're a liar" vibe which quite a lot of versions fail to do incidentally. Rik does more of a "you're a liar and I'm actually cross about it, blasphemer" version.

It seems to me that Rik Mayall's Herod is panicking and loses control at the end. He can't get Jesus to break psychologically, and so he just declares him a liar because he feels threatened by Jesus.

I have to give props to the actor playing Jesus here. That transition from confusion/fear/disgust to a more peaceful expression starting at 2:10 is great - I think Jesus knows *exactly* what He's watching here. He knows Herod isn't interested in Him at all, and when Herod finally shows that he's just being insolent and gets down to the underlying cynicism, Jesus's look becomes pretty serene for a man who has just been effectively condemned to death. Why? Well, it's because Herod is finally showing his true colors, and that's what Jesus knew was going to happen the entire time - and what would lead to the cross in the end, which was the whole point of what was being disguised by this ridiculous show. TL;DR, Jesus didn't need to say anything in this and we can still see that He knows exactly what is going on, and that is awesome.

I have always loved rik mayalls as herod, he brought the right amount of lightheartedness and comic petulance into what is quite an intense show. He was a classic rip

I’m seeing a lot of love for Mr Cooper but nothing will beat this smarmy, super aggressive, and hilarious performance.

I miss Rik Mayall. He plays Herod so well.

3:18 is me when my ex tries to stay friends

Herod appears to be a buffoon here, but lurking underneath that comic exterior is a dangerous, vicious man. Mayall captures it perfectly.

I think some get lost in the voice of 'Herod' and lose the expressions. Yes, he's a petulant man child, but the eyes (great acting, this is about the CHARACTER), if you turn down the volume? Chilling. When you remember Herod wasn't just some mindless aesthete who wanted to be entertained. He ruled so brutally (in an era where executions were INTENTIONALLY as painful as possible, flogging had a numerical limit because 'more than that, and it's a death sentence) that he got removed from his post. He was also powerful (in his own territory) and seriously sadistic. He looks like he knows what he can and can't do politically, and while he won't go over that line, he's still toying with the prisoner. See about 37 seconds in, to see what I'm talking about. And Jesus being unimpressed actually makes it clear how truly powerful he is. Because a non-deity would actually have good reason TO be scared of Herod. Jesus didn't.

This can only be overcome with a more rock-operatic voice by Rik Mayall himself, one of my favorite and most underated actors, sadly he couldn't get the high notes, but I'm so glad he did Herodes. Pure perfection. Greatly missed, RIP

Rik really does add venom and sarcasm here. The silliness to venom is balanced firmly on the "snarky/angry" end. Hard to believe that he ever believes Jesus can actually do what he is asking for though...
