Pope Benedict as an Ensure-swilling, blunt-bogarting grump?
A goofy new video, "It's Hard Out Here For A Pope," presents the unholy possibility in the wake of the pontiff's resignation.
The spoof is brought to you by Cult Comedy Pictures, which also crafted "Damn It Feels Good To Be a Banksta" and "Zombie Clap."
In the latest, the pope (Jake Hart) gripes about the issues that have dogged him in his tenure, while Lucifer pursues him. To the tune of the Oscar-winning song "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp" (sung here by Kajuana Shuford), the religious leader raps, "I pissed off Islam, I pissed off the Jews, I can't control my bladder so I piss on my shoes."
Yeah, it's that kind of video.
"We don't fear the controversy. That's the essence of our 'brand,'" Cult Comedy Pictures creative director George Gaffney told The Huffington Post in an email.

Screengrab from the ‘Banksta’ video
Occupy Wall Street may be struggling to find its core message, but with the release of “Damn It Feels Good To Be A Banksta,” at least it has its soundtrack. Cult Comedy Picture Show, a comedy troupe based in New York, premiered a parody music video on Tuesday in which Republican Presidential frontrunner Herman Cain joins a pair of Wall Street fat cats to infiltrate Zucotti Park in New York and sing (okay, rap) about their success.
