What Wouldn’t Jesus Do? The Five Funniest Videos of the Son of God
In honor of the passing of Jerry Falwell, who made a mockery of Christ’s teachings, we present the best mockeries of Jesus himself. Actually, that’s a bit harsh – these aren’t really mockeries, more like satire.
1. First off, in Passion of the Christ 2, Judgment Day, we see Hollywood logic extended to Mel Gibson’s blockbuster. A box-office hit deserves a sequel, and any self-respecting sequel needs twice as many explosions.
2. Family Guy pairs Jesus with Chris Tucker. Finally, some recognition that Jackie Chan is equal to one-third of the holy trinity.
3. Monty Python’s Life of Brian is, of course, the classic elseworlds version of Christ. Brian is almost, but not quite, Jesus. In this scene, Brian tells us that we’re all different:
4. A modern-day Jesus feels strongly that he will survive.
5. Finally, UltraChrist gives us the most probable scenario. Jesus, returned after nearly 2000 years, finds today’s youth just don’t relate to him. So he casts away his robes for spandex and becomes UltraChrist! This may also be the only movie depicting Jesus vs. Hitler, Jesus vs. Richard Nixon, and Jesus vs. Jim Morrison.
Did I miss any? put a link to any other great Jesus-based comedies in the comments below. By the way, I disqualified at least one video for cheating – Yakety Sax makes anything funny.

Ryan wants to know if that is Paul Bonano as Jesus in the first film. I really liked the first one, the ending where he brings him back to life to kill him again.
And now I know what the voice of Jesus really sounds like. It was Gloria Gaynor all the time.

Thanks for the shout out! If you want to see more of Ultrachrist!, the full hilarious feature is available to own from Amazon.com or to rent from Netflix. We recommend buying it, so you can watch it again and again … (Plus, then we get money, and Spandex ain’t cheap.)
Have a sin-free day …
Team Ultrachrist!
