My friends saw these Mormon nesting dolls at a thrift store and got them for me! I’ve seen them before, but now I own a set. When you see weird Mormon kitsch, please think of me. ❤️

it’s once again time for occasional blog segment “Putting Too Much Thought Into Embarrassingly Tacky Mormon Facebook Memes Someone In My Ward Shared” and boy is there a lot to unpack here:
I have to assume this was originally made sometime after the first Avengers movie in 2012, so having your roster mostly consist of the current First Presidency makes as much sense as this kitsch meme is gonna make. Adding the previous church president isn’t that much further out there. But...Spencer W. Kimball?? That’s going back a whole 30-40 years???
We’re also dealing with an Avengers team that is 5/6 old men (does Jesus age after being resurrected? does he also count as an old man? when people ask his age, does he say 33 or 2,0024?) and 2/6 men who were literally deceased when the meme probably got made so like...what are they gonna avenge.
Highly amused by the fact that, despite Eyring’s seniority in both the Twelve and the First Presidency, Uchtdorf still gets poster billing over him. That’s star power!
The photoshop job just plops the Salt Lake Temple into a random cityscape and calls it good.
I do not want to veer onto the wrong side of blasphemy here, but...does this meme want us to correlate each of these Mormon Avengers with a corresponding MCU Avenger? Is Jesus flying with his arms outstretched in the background because he’s...supposed to be Iron Man??? Did they get a picture of Hinckley with his cane to allude to how, sometimes in comic book lore, Thor switches into a secret identity by disguising his hammer as a cane??? Did the meme maker really put this level of thought into this unfunny joke? Or am I the one reading too much into it now? If I’m supposed to keep making these connections, how am I supposed to when the other three are literally just dudes in suits??? Please tell me who Uchtdorf’s avengersona is.
The CTR stamped onto the Avengers logo is just the absolutely unnecessary cherry on top of this sundae of cringe.
Shouldn’t this be “Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Avengers” instead now? Can’t very well avenge the earth when you’re already inadvertently causing a victory for Satan.
I get home from work the other day. As soon as I walk in…
My kids: Dad! Mom’s friend sent you something in the mail!
Me: What is it??
Kids: We don’t know. She found it at the thrift store. Open it!
I don’t recognize the M logo on the big pink box. I open it…
It’s a Baby Donny Osmond Tiny Tot Doll from the Marie Osmond Doll Collection! 😮
The kids were a little freaked out by Baby Donny.
