Chris Pratt was given a special Generation Award at Monday night’s MTV Movie & TV Awards.  The token was bestowed upon him by his co-stars Bryce Dallas Howard, who will share the screen with him in this weekend’s ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ and Aubrey Plaza, to whom Pratt was “married” on the sitcom ‘Parks & Recreation’.

Pratt accepted the award with his usual goofy demeanor and requisite poop jokes, but those were just used to mask his positive messages of support of responsibility and self-esteem and against bullying.  In an unusual move, Pratt actually got religious, stating “God is real. God loves you, God wants the best for you. Believe that; I do” and “Learn to pray. It’s easy, and it is so good for your soul.”  It was a bold move as most people in the spotlight shy away from discussing religion so as to not offend anyone.

Here are all of the “Nine Rules from Chris Pratt, Generation Award Winner.”

  • No. 1: Breathe. If you don’t, you will suffocate.
  • No. 2: You have a soul. Be careful with it.
  • No. 3: Don’t be a turd. If you are strong, be a protector. If you are smart, be a humble influencer. Strength and intelligence can be weapons, so do not wield them against the weak. That makes you a bully. Be bigger than that.
  • No. 4: When giving a dog medicine, put the medicine in a little piece of hamburger and they won’t even know they’re eating medicine.
  • No. 5: It doesn’t matter what it is. Earn it. A good deed. Reach out to someone in pain. Be of service. It feels good and it’s good for your soul.
  • No. 6: God is real. God loves you, God wants the best for you. Believe that; I do.
  • No. 7: If you have to poop at a party, but you’re embarrassed because you’re going to stink up the bathroom, just do what I do. Lock the door, sit down, get all of the pee out first. And then, once all the pee is done, poop, flush, boom! You minimize the amount of time that the poop’s touching the air. Because if you poop first, it takes you longer to pee and then you’re peeing on top of it, stirring up the poop particles, create a cloud, goes out, then everyone at the party will know that you pooped. Just trust me, it’s science.
  • No. 8: Learn to pray. It’s easy, and it is so good for your soul.
  • No. 9: Nobody is perfect.  People will tell you that you are perfect just the way that you are, you are not! You are imperfect. You always will be, but there is a powerful force that designed you that way, and if you are willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift, and like the freedom that we enjoy in this country that grace was paid for with somebody else’s blood. Do not forget that. Don’t take that for granted.
