Book of Mormon Selfie Videos: If Ancient Prophets Had Smartphones (The Funniest Scenes Ever!)

What would the Book of Mormon look like if its heroes and antiheroes could record themselves on a smartphone? Our newest video brings that hilarious idea to life—reimagining Nephi, Ammon, Alma the Younger, Captain Moroni, Samuel the Lamanite, and even Korihor as if they were all vlogging, taking selfies, and leaving us short, viral clips from the ancient world.

From Nephi’s “brass plate heist” confessional to Ammon’s sheep-wrangling misadventures, and Captain Moroni’s rallying cry, these scenes capture the drama, faith, and sometimes sheer chaos of the scriptures—with a modern twist. Imagine Zeezrom’s legal meltdown as a TikTok fail, Samuel the Lamanite dodging arrows with ninja-like moves, and Laman and Lemuel getting literally shocked in a wilderness prank gone wrong.

We created this video to bring scripture stories to life in a way everyone can enjoy—especially youth, families, and anyone who loves a good laugh with their gospel learning. The “selfie” moments are short, punchy, and perfect for sharing, making them ideal for a Sunday School icebreaker, youth activity, or just lightening up your personal study.

Scroll down and hit play—see if you can spot your favorite story or catch a new inside joke! And if you’ve ever wanted to see what ancient prophets would do with hashtags, filters, and epic fails…this is your moment.

Why Humor Belongs in the Scriptures

Sometimes, we forget that the people in the Book of Mormon were real—facing awkward moments, misunderstandings, and family squabbles just like we do. These selfie scenes remind us that faith can be fun, and that the gospel brings joy as well as reverence.

So gather your family, share with your class, or send this to a friend who needs a smile.
Who knows? Maybe next time you read about Alma or Nephi, you’ll picture them reaching for their phone to record a moment worth remembering.
