Grover's mad quest to kill God

Credit to MrRagtimeMoneybags on reddit for the first half of the video. I do not know who wrote the latter half.

By making it his mission to kill God, to the point of acquiring a weapon and smuggling it to the Pearly Gates, Grover shows disdain to the concept of divinity and has already killed Him on his mind.
By steeling himself enough to go up the Stairway to Heaven not once, but SEVERAL times, no matter how infinitely great or infinitesimally small were the steps he had to take, and ending it by making Kermit take the entire brunt of his sins, Grover has outwilled God.
By defying the all-binding, all-blinding light of He Who Comes From Above with the sheer strength of his purpose, demanding that He showed Himself before him, Grover had defeated God -- The very concept of God purpose-wise.
Three times had he killed The Father, both in mind, body and spirit. All without firing a single bullet. He had already shown that The Holy Trinity was below him, but Grover still groveled on his spite and foolishness to prove a point, that he would kill God by means as mundane and low as the treason of His own children. The rejection of the gift of Life, the sin against brethren and the audacity to challenge His judgement of life and death: A single tool of murder, the Glock.
Little did Grover know, however, that God has already shown enough mercy. As He once did with Lucifer, his rebellious legion of angels and with several iterations of Mankind, He'd reciprocate his wicked, unfathomable purpose. And so, God broke Grover beyond what anyone would expect.
He broke Grover's purpose by putting the Damocles above his head, "rewarding" him with power over everything and promptly letting it crush his murderous intent. He broke Grover's body by weighing his mortality against the infinity of the sins of His creation on an endless, relentless flight of stairs. Finally, He broke Grover's mind by making him experience his insignificance when compared to the entire span of Creation, so that when Time and Space have no more meaning than a speck of dust, his mortal brain would wither.
Three times had He killed The Muppet by condemning him to sempiternal Death, unending Failure and overwhelming Oblivion. Grover would forever experience everyone's pains and sins, the existence and decay of everything, and everywhere and everywhen that which has been, that is and forever will be. This was God's will. This was Grover's ultimate fall.

The delivery of the line "But none of it deters Grover. He brought the Glock with him, " is simultaneously one of the most hilarious and badass lines I've ever heard.

i like how grover managed to commit 200 more sins in his initial journey to the top

[betoneiracromadarebaixada]

Someone out there not only took the time to write a fanfiction about a sesame street character trying to kill god, but also made every line in it hit as hard as humanly conceivable. Humanity was not a mistake

[Skygirl-rpob]

I love how Grover actually commiting 1, 048, 376 sins but getting 1, 048, 576 steps implies that either God or Kermit threw in an extra 200 steps just to fuck with him

So basically, Grover:
- Commited over a million sins
- Stole a gun
- Snuck his gun into the afterlife
- Climbed up to all 1 million steps to Heaven in under a week
- Was sent back to the bottom of the stairs for doing that thing where you walk up 2 steps at a time because you think you’re cool
- Climbed up to Heaven again
- Threw Kermit into Hell
- Became God
- Still tried to kill God even though now he was God
- Was flung down to Hell by God for trying to kill God after becoming God
Is that right?

“At this point he wondered if god was that frog he just shoved down the stairs” will never not be the funniest fucking sentence I’ve heard

[Connor_Kirkpatrick]

Jury’s still out on whether or not Kermit was actually God

[TheRealKazberry]

"He saw the birth of the universe, and he saw the heat death. And he could not tell the difference." is such mind-fuckingly good writing for a shitpost.

[Esitaro]

Ok but in all honestly, that part of Grover falling down to all eternity and not being able to die is the scariest thing i have ever heard

[plusequals]

“You think yours is long? Wait until you’ve seen mine.” is the most significant line in the entire video

[chesterstevens]

I am in awe of this story. The drama, the growth; a tragic heroes' downfall as he realizes all he ever wanted, wasnt what he ever wanted at all. Truly a saga to rival Gilgamesh of Beowulf, you've outdone yourself Sir.

A moment of silence to everyone who never finds this video

[dodsonboys]

I like how memes went from goofy ms paint doodles and a baby with his fist up to a guy voice acting an existential tale of Grover killing and becoming god

[mrfriespotato]

0:40 "he brought the glock with 'em"

I literally chocked on my tea

BertStrip story writers are truly a special kind of Internet creators.

They are able to create wonderful written insane stories, ranging from both comedy and tragedy, while having to use Muppet characters and screenshots as part of the story. Stuff like this genuinely takes talent, and blurs the line between art and s#$tpost.

These feel like non-animated cutscenes in a really well done indie game that take place every time you complete a chapter.

He has some great cardio. He was ascending those steps at a rate around 105 steps a minute

[theraginginfernape]

"He saw the birth of the universe, and he saw the heat death, and he could not tell the difference"

Such a raw fucking line I did not expect to find in this video

[gusdotd]

Truly a work of art. The story grabbed me by the lapels from the very beginning, and wouldn't let go until its spine-tingling narrative drew its last word.
