First Church of the Last Laugh

[[File:Stupid1a.jpg|thumb|right|165px|Saint Stupid]]
The '''First Church of the Last Laugh''' (FCLL) is a [[parody religion]] created by Bishop Joey (Ed Holmes).{{efn|A play on words of the comedian/actor {{wpl|Joey Bishop}} {{lived|1918|2007}}}} The church has only one [[holy]] day per year, which corresponds with April Fool's Day, and is celebrated with the '''Saint Stupid's Day Parade''' in [[San Francisco]], [[California]]. The idea behind the church and parade was based on older celebrations, the {{wpl|Feast of Fools||,}} {{wplang|fr|Poisson d'avril||,}} and the culturally widespread [[trickster]] character.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20191121194022/http://saintstupid.com/history.html The PreHistory Of The First Church of the Last Laugh (FCLL)] ''The First Church of the Last Laugh'' (archived from November 21, 2019).</ref><ref>[https://www.sfgate.com/sfhistory/article/sf-saint-stupids-day-parade-17045816.php ‘There’s still this wild spirit’: This San Francisco April Fool’s tradition refuses to die] by Dan Gentile (April 1, 2022) ''SFGate''.</ref> The parade presents itself superficially as loosely-organized silliness, but the subtexts of the parade are anti-[[capitalism]] and anti-[[organized religion]].

The FCLL website was stubbornly Web 1.0 throughout its existence with intentionally bad formatting and never correcting misspellings. In some older versions of the FCLL website, there were two gatekeeping pages that one had to pass through before getting to the "one pretty true" main page. The first one asked, "Are you a member of the human race?" The "yes" link proceeded to the next gate, and the "no" link proceeded to the [[Fundamentalist Christian]] [[Promise Keepers]] homepage.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19990209042835/http://www.saintstupid.com/test.htm The Test Page] ''Saint Stupid'' (archived from February 9, 1999).</ref> The second gate had the following text (sparing the reader from ALL CAPS that was in the original):<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060106080138/http://www.saintstupid.com/disclaim.html Before entering this site you must agree to the conditions following] ''Saint Stupid'' (archived from January 6, 2006).</ref>

if you're a [[Mormon]] or a [[Scientologist]] just stop right here, save us both some time. You won't get it. You have no cents of humour. Come back when you wise up. If you're [[Muslim]] check your lesser [[jihad]] at the door.

Everybody else come on in.}}

The church has informal relations with another parody religion, [[Church of the SubGenius]]:

Another loose affiliation of the FCLL is with the {{wpl|San Francisco Cacophony Society}} (SFCS). The parade literally does sound like Cacophony. Since 1990, {{wpl|John Law (artist)|John Law||,}} co-founder of the SFCS has been bringing his three Doggie Diner dog heads (named, "Manny, Moe and Jack"), together forming the Dogminican Order,{{efn|"Dogminican" is a portmanteau of "[[Dog]]" and {{wpl|Dominican Order|"Dominican"|.}}}} to the parade.<ref name=evans>[https://johnwlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cacophony-2018-book-spreads-lowres.pdf ''Tales of the San Francisco Cacophony Society''] edited by Kevin Evans, Carrie Galbraith & John Law (2013) Last Gasp Publishing.</ref>{{rp|38,88-89,103}}

==The parade==
The first parade in 1979 began with Ed Holmes and a small group then known as the "Deep Fat Friars" who marched around the San Francisco Financial District, blessing banks and throwing pennies at the Stock Exchange.<ref>[https://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=OT19830401.1.10&srpos=3&e=------198-en--20--1--txt-txIN-%22ed+holmes%22----1983--- Silly — yes; fun — assuredly; stupid — well, why not?] by Terry Link (1 April 1983) ''The Oakland Tribune''.</ref>{{rp|10}} By 1983, St. Stupid had become the patron saint of parking meters.<ref>[https://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=SRPD19830401.1.19&srpos=1&e=------198-en--20--1--txt-txIN-%22patron+saint+of+parking+meters%22------- SF honors St. Stupid] (1 April 1983) ''AP'' via ''The Press Democrat''.</ref>{{rp|13}} The seventh parade in 1986 had an inauspicious ending with the arrest of Bishop Joey for allegedly drinking [[alcohol]] in public; he was found not guilty by reason that he was not actually observed drinking but rather picking up a glass at an outdoor cafe table for the purpose of mock toasts.<ref>[https://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=OT19860812.1.3&srpos=5&e=------198-en--20--1--txt-txIN-%22ed+holmes%22+parade------- "'Stupid' parade leader found not guilty"] (12 August 1986) ''The Oakland Tribune''.</ref>{{rp|3}} This event that was subsequently known as the "[[Martyr]]dumb of Bishop Joey".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20010414022035/http://www.saintstupid.com/martyr.htm The Martyrdumb of The Bishop] ''Saint Stupid'' (archived from April 14, 2001).</ref>

Just to confuse, the parade has different routes depending on whether April 1<sup>st</sup> falls on a weekday or weekend. The weekday route, which is more fun if for no other reason that one can slack off work, has seven stations of stupid.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120211101141/http://www.saintstupid.com/parades.html The Parades Ov The First Church of the Last Laugh (FCLL)] ''The First Church of the Last Laugh'' (archived from February 11, 2012).</ref> The seven stations of stupid are vaguely reminiscent of Christian's [[Jerusalem#Via Dolorosa|fourteen stations of the cross]].{{efn|The {{wpl|Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence}} later parodied the stations with their own [[Easter]] "Stations of the Cross" at bars and [[queer]] shops in the Castro District of San Francisco. Occasionally, one of the Sisters will show up at the parade to show interfaith unity.<ref>''Out in the Castro: Desire, Promise, Activism'' by Winston Leyland (2002) Leyland Publications.

The first thing people may notice about this list is that it begins and ends with a [[zero]]. Why? It could be just because&nbsp;— stupid!

Parade goers often wear funny costumes (or rarely [[Nudity|none at all]], hold funny signs and play silly music. Each year, some famous person has done something really stupid and would hence be a target for mockery. The main parts of Bishop Joey's speeches are similar from year-to-year, with some ad libbing. Due to incomplete or noisy videos of past parades, these texts are edited from video and text from the more complete videos for 1997<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afv8BtgbW_s Saint Stupid's Day Parade 1997] by Scott Beale (Aug 24, 2020) ''YouTube''.</ref> and 2014.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp3R8nMaVEI I marched in the 36th annual St Stupid's Day Parade] (Apr 2, 2014) ''YouTube''.</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVwX3LUsd5o St Stupid Parade 4 1 14] by PuzzlingEvidenceTV (Apr 14, 2014) ''YouTube''.</ref>

====The first zero====
Here Bishop Joey pumps up the crowd and gives an introduction:
{{cquote|This is the 36<sup>th</sup> annual St Stupid's Day Parade, brought to you by The First Church of the Last Laugh, the world's fastest growing snack religion, 150% less [[dogma]]. It's a light religion with one holy day year and today is it!{{efn|This introduction is usually repeated at each station.}}

The First Church of the Last Laugh is the world's oldest religion. All religions are based on [[Fear, uncertainty, and doubt|fear]] and guilt. But before you have fear and guilt work, you got to have somebody stupid enough to believe that [[Charlatan|con]]. We are the [[stem cell]] of all other religion. We are the oldest church. We are are the largest church, seven billion. Seven billion members if you're [[human]]… anybody here [[Extraterrestrial|not human]] raise your hand. [some non-humans raise their hands] Let's get a count. In your [[DNA]] there is stupidity it's unavoidable. It's the one thing that unites the species. So you here are the lucky, lucky few. That's right.

So, we're going to induct you. First you got to take the oath. Raise your right hand. Cross your
fingers. Repeat after me, "I pledge allegiance to the illusion and to the [[pyramid scheme]] for which
it stands, one [[nation]], one [[species]], in [[denial]], with error and [[Consumerism|excess by all]]. Oh boy!" [crowd repeats each phrase]

Let's let's have a nice meet and greet. Everybody turn to your right and say hello to the person on your right. Now to your left. [Lots of 'hellos' from the crowd] Now that you've met your fellow congregants, you need the secret sign you'll recognize each other's secret handshake. The secret handshake is you hold your hand up like this, fold your thumb across the palm, turn to somebody and slap a high four. [Lots of 'ows' from the crowd] We gotta change handshake. Maybe it'll be ready next year, we'll see. So we've got some [[tradition]]. What is tradition? Same damn thing over and over again. So, we're going to do the same damn thing over and let's try to get it right. Last year we almost got the parade right. We got some notes. We're going to try again. So, watch as you're walking on the street. Watch in front of you there's curbs and stuff like that. There's little kids in the parade so watch that uh we have stops and stations a lot along the way that you will be part of. And, are there any questions so far? [Someone in the crowd shouts, 'Yes!'] Tough shit.}}

====The First Station of Stupid====
[[File:StStupidsDayParade20090401 21 122312 1335BCX.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Take a chance in the walkway of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco]]
{{cquote|We're here at the First Station of Stupid, the [[Federal Reserve]] headquarters, a highly, highly, highly suspect player in the [[economic]] game and totally undemocratic. And we're here to thank the Federal Reserve for helping turn the American economy from oh agricultural to [[Industrial Revolution|industrial]] to service to [[Technology|technological]] to information into a [[casino]] economy. [Applause] The economy doesn't matter. Doesn't matter how much you're educated, how well connected you are, doesn't matter how hard you work. Unless you are [[luck]]y, you will not make it into [[The American Dream]]. So, you do play the lottery, don't you? [crowd shouting] Yeah, Lightning Hopkins, the famous blues player said, "I play craps every day 'cuz I might be walking around lucky and not know it." So, a dollar a day, a dollar, two dollars a week, dollar a day, something like that. A Quick Pick,{{efn|[[Random]]ly selected lottery numbers}} check them out. Don't think of it as a 200 million to one chance that you're going to win. No, truly one should think of it as 50/50. You put your dollar down, you buy a ticket, a 50/50 chance that you're going to win or you going lose. But eventually, it's almost guaranteed, guarantee the win eventually, you're almost guaranteed almost perfect guarantee eventually that you will completely win.}}
This station ends with a ritual throwing of losing lottery tickets in the air.

====The Second Station of Stupid====
This station takes place on the normally little-noticed side of the {{wpl|101 California Street}} skysraper, where there is a plain door without an external handle, about one step below ground level.
{{cquote|This is the second station of stupid and this is the tomb of stupid right here. Now, we're going to knock. Saint Army Wheelie is going to knock on the door of the Tomb stupid see if he's in. Please, quiet. He might be napping. Knock again a little harder. I guess we missed him, he must be out to lunch.}}

====The Third Station of Stupid====
[[File:Mechanics Monument by Douglas Tilden - San Francisco, CA - DSC03542.JPG|thumb|right|165px|The Bare Butt Mechanics]]
[[File:Saint Stupids Day Parade 20110401 124604 B11 3969.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The Bare Butt Mechanics with parade. Bishop Joey is standing immediately before the statue with his drum.]]
This station is located at the {{wpl|Mechanics Monument|''Mechanics Monument''|.}}
{{cquote|We're at the station known as The Bare Butt Mechanics. Now if you'll notice, around the edge of this plaza there are giant concrete lug nuts. Look at the lug nuts everybody look at the giant concrete lug nuts. Somebody massage those lug nuts. Tighten up those lug nuts over there. Tighten that lug nut up over there, Dr. Hal. The purpose of these lug nuts is to hold fill-dirt San Francisco to old San Francisco,{{efn|The Mechanics Monument is actually located on the fill-dirt side of San Francisco but don't tell any FCLL members. The fill-dirt parts of San Francisco are prone to liquifaction during earthquakes.}} and we're going to do the leap of faith and test these lug nuts to make sure they're going to hold. Now, this is the leap of faith. Everybody's going to close their eyes. Don't do it yet. Close your eyes, count to three. It's one, two, three actually. It's a four, one, two, three, and then the four is kind of like a non-spoken four. It's a non-numerical force, it's a it's a verbal, it's a verbal four. And then, we're gonna jump into the air with our eyes closed and we're gonna have faith. We're gonna have faith, brothers and sisters, boys and girls, creatures of all types, that when we come down, the [[Earth]] will hold us and we won't break San Francisco, but you have to take it to the limit every once in a while and find out what it'll take. Take a deep breath. Okay, here we go, we're gonna go one, two, three, jump. First of all, close your eyes. Everybody, close your eyes. Close your eyes, right, ready, one, two, three, jump. [Everyone jumps and lands on solid ground, followed by applause.]}}

====The Fourth and/or Fifth Station of Stupid====
This station is a parade rest, and includes a free lunch. It's commonly said that there's no such thing as a free lunch.<ref>[https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/08/27/free-lunch/ Quote Origin: There Ain’t No Such Thing as a Free Lunch — TANSTAAFL] (August 27, 2016) ''Quote Investigator''.</ref> Well, that's just false. You probably won't like the lunch though. This station is located at the Citibank Atrium, adjacent to the cake-shaped building (532 Market Street).
{{cquote|We're here to give homage to this two-dimensional spiritual [[scapegoat]] Saint Stupid who
said, "I know, I know, but you know you never know." He said, "So far, so what." Saint Stupid said, "[[Tautology|The closer you are, the nearer you get.]]" But more importantly, Saint Stupid said, "Remember, don't forget." I'll get back to you on that one. So you can go to the website saintstupid.com{{efn|The website is defunct.}} and photographs of the past years of parades. We have 36 years going here. We have had people meet, fall in love, [[marry]] and [[Childbirth|bear children]] in this parade. So watch where you're walking.}}

====The Sixth Station of Stupid====
[[File:Pacific Sock Exchange.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Socks flying in the air during the annual Pacific Sock Exchange]]
This station is located on the steps of the now-former {{wpl|Pacific Stock Exchange||,}} which was located at 301 Pine Street until it closed in 2006.
{{cquote|A lot of people ask me they say, "Bish". [Crowd says "Yes!"] They say, "Who belongs to the church?" We all belong, ladies and gentlemen. And we are here to honor that which binds our species together, the one DNA link regardless of race, creed, that thing that unites the species is stupidity. Uh, one of my elders here, I had to consult with my elder about this parade and I asked my elders, "Can we do uh you know a parade you know in April because you know you can't you can't do a march in April. Can't march in April. [Crowd boos] You can't march in April. Let those words be taken with you and deposit it somewhere else. Oh I think I hear a [[UFO]]. [Led by Bishop Joey, the crowd starts chanting {{wpl|Comet Hale–Bopp|"Hale-Bopp!"|,}} a [[comet]] that was visible to the naked eye in the year that this was filmed (1997).{{efn|Comet Hale-Bopp was not actually visible during full daylight when the parade took place.}} The chanting sounds a lot like "Hale, [[Church of the SubGenius#J. R. "Bob" Dobbs|Bob]]!" Bishop Joey then switches the crowd to chanting, "No more chanting!"]

And now we are here now. You know the Pacific Stock Exchange is trying to change their name. They're going to call themselves the Pacific Exchange. We're not going to let them do that are we? [Crowd: "No!" Someone in the crowd, "What about the socks?"] No matter what they call themselves, they will be the Station of Stupid known as The Stock Exchange! [Crowd roars] "Exchange socks!" [Socks start flying up into the air.]}}

During the years when the Pacific Stock Exchange was still active during parades, there were sometimes spontaneous shouts from the crowd of "Jump! Jump! Jump!" if office workers could be seen peering at the parade from the office building windows across the street from the parade. This was in reference to the semi-apocryphal stories of stockbrokers jumping from office windows during the [[Great Depression]].<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1987/10/25/the-jumpers-of-29/17defff9-f725-43b7-831b-7924ac0a1363/ The Jumpers of '29] by Bennett Lowenthal (October 24, 1987) ''The Washington Post''.</ref><ref>''The Great Crash, 1929'' by John Kenneth Galbraith (1955) Houghton Mifflin.</ref><ref>[https://hoover.blogs.archives.gov/2022/06/15/the-great-stock-market-crash-of-1929-why-history-textbooks-and-the-conventional-wisdom-get-it-wrong/ The Great Stock Market Crash of 1929: Why History Textbooks and the Conventional Wisdom Get It Wrong] by Thomas Schwartz (2022) ''Hoover Heads, National Archived''.</ref>

====The Seventh Station of Stupid====
[[File:Pitching pennies at the Banker's Heart.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Trying to break the Banker's Heart by tossing pennies]]
The Seventh Station is at the Banker's Heart at {{wpl|555 California Street||,}} which was formerly known as the 	Bank of America Center. The locally-known "Banker's Heart" is a large lump of black granite sculpted by Masayuki Nagare that he called "Transcendence".<ref>[https://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/Art-for-the-city-s-sake-Public-art-adds-a-touch-2561963.php Art for the city's sake / Public art adds a touch of class to a city] by Valerie Fahey (Nov 6, 2005) ''SFGate''.</ref>

{{cquote|We are here to thank the banking system, the banking community, the banking buildings, banking accounting. Thank you. We're here to thank all the banks for all they're doin' for you and me. Thank you all for the bank statement that begins with, "Bend over." That's right we're here to thank you. Let's say thanks to the Bank of America for laying off 3,000 people, closing a couple hundred branches. That's the Bank of America doing all they can for America. Bend over America! Well here's something the bank didn't get. I have a penny that they didn't get, so if you brought your pennies… Those of you standing near that rock [the Banker's Heart] those of you on top of that rock are now in range, in the line-of-fire. We are going to thank all the banks by donating our pennies to the Banker's Heart. Grab a handful. [The pennies start flying toward the Banker's Heart.]}}

====The second zero====
{{cquote|Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results.|||falsely attributed to [[Albert Einstein]] over and over again<ref>[https://quoteinvestigator.com/2017/03/23/same/ Quote Origin: Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results] (March 23, 2017) ''Quote Investigator''.</ref>}}
The parade returns to the first zero. Duh!
{{cquote|This was the 19<sup>th</sup> annual St Stupid's Day Parade, brought to you by The First Church of the Last Laugh, the world's fastest growing snack religion, 150% less dogma. It's a light religion with one holy day year and today was it! [Someone in the crowd shouts, "That was stupid!"] Some people think that was stupid, gotta do it all over again. This was the 19<sup>th</sup> annual Saint Stupid's Day Parade.}}

===The weekend parade===
The weekend parade has four stations since 2003:
{{blockquote|1. TRANSAMERICA PYRAMID (the pointy bldg)<BR>
2. THE [[Scientology|SCIENCE-FICTION-TOLOGISTS]] HQ<BR>
3. PARADE REST<BR>
4. WASHINGTION SQ PARK for the FCLL's MINI-SERVICE}}
The weekend parade is not too noteworthy other than briefly annoying the Scientology local headquarters located at the {{wpl|Fugazi Bank Building}}{{efn|No, not fugazi ("fucked up")<ref>''Nam: the Vietnam War in the words of the men and women who fought there'' by Mark Baker (1983) Berkley Books. ISBN 0425101444.</ref>{{rp|298}} or that {{wpl|Fugazi||.}}}} by chanting and shouting outside their HQ, thereby transmitting engrams to disrupt their [[E-Meter]]s. The building was purchased in 2003 by the Church of Scientology. Unnoticed by most parade marchers is that the first stop, the pointy building (formally, the "Transamerica Pyramid") was formerly owned by Transamerica Corporation, when they decided after deciding to move from what is now The Fugazi Bank Building, based on pointy [[pyramid]]s being better than {{wpl|Flatland|flatland||.}}

Standing by the statue of [[Benjamin Franklin]], Bishop Joey will ask at some point, "What is Ben Franklin doing in Washington Square Park?"

In 2018, April 1 corresponded with [[Easter]] Sunday. As it so happens Washington Square Park is across the street from the large {{wpl|Saints Peter and Paul Church, San Francisco|Saints Peter and Paul Church}} (located at [[666]] Filbert Street). It was a twofer!

==Also sounds stupid==
In 1986, the notorious prankster {{wpl|Joey Skaggs}} started an annual April Fools' Day parade down 5th Avenue in Manhattan from Central Park to Washington Square Park. The annual parade intends to expose fools and mock mock madness by "lampooning the year’s most shameless attention-seekers,
power abusers, conspiracy peddlers, and tone-deaf billionaires."<ref>[https://joeyskaggs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/skaggs-april-pr-40-2025.pdf The New York City April Fools' Day Parade Celebrates 40 Years of Exposing Fools and Mocking Madness] by Joey Skaggs (March 4, 2025).</ref> The 2025 parade included a dozen "eggs" (downloadable face masks) to wear on the parade: [[Donald Trump]], [[Vladimir Putin]], [[Benjamin Netanyahu]], [[Elon Musk]], [[Robert F. Kennedy Jr.]], [[JD Vance]], [[Joe Biden]], [[Kamala Harris]], [[Andrew Cuomo]], disgraced New York City mayor {{wpl|Eric Adams||,}} [[Marjorie Taylor Greene]] and alleged assassin {{wpl|Luigi Mangione||.}} of the CEO of the shady {{wpl|UnitedHealthcare}} corporation.<ref>[https://joeyskaggs.com/april-fools-day-parade-masks/ April Fools’ Day Parade Masks] by Joey Skaggs.</ref>
