Line 127:
* In ''[[The Salvation War]]'', Jesus is definitely cool. He realizes how insane his father is well before anyone else and tries three times to help humanity (Jesus, Mohamed, and someone else, possibly Joan of Arc or Martin Luther), but after these attempts backfire and he sees how rapidly they are progressing, he decides to see what they can do to correct the injustices done to them on their own. Even after Michael the Angelic [[Anti-Hero]] sets him up to die by nuclear weapon, he still forgives him because he understands his motivation for doing so.
* Subverted in ''[http://ny.channel101.com/show.php?show=12 Jesus Christ Supercop]'', which portrays Jesus as a stereotypical [[Cowboy Cop]]. Possibly not a benign version of Christ, and certainly not a nice Jewish boy... but you [[Rule of Cool|cannot deny that this Jesus is Cool]].
* In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDxgNjMTPIs this] ''[[I'm a Marvel... Andand I'm a DC]]'' video, [[Iron Man]] is daydreaming about the opening day of ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' and how it's stealing the hype for his movie. Everybody is rejecting his movie (released a few months before) as being yesterday's news, but the culmination is the arrival of Jesus.
{{quote|'''Jesus:''' My children, I have come back to you. The sheer awesomeness of ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' has brought about my Second Coming, and with it the Rapture, which shall begin immediately. ...after the 7:45 session. I gotta see this bad boy!}}
* [[Richard Dawkins]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20090831040919/http://richarddawkins.net/article,20,Atheists-for-Jesus,Richard-Dawkins Atheists for Jesus.]
Line 158:
* ''[[Family Guy]]'' portrays Jesus as playing golf with guys on weekdays, and going to bars with God on weekends (Seth MacFarlane is an atheist).
** But, according to ''Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story'', was a very bad magician.
*** And he's really short. Because people were much shorter then.
** Brian is skeptical whether the guy is Jesus, so asks if he can perform miracles; He responds by changing everyone's meal into a hot fudge sundae. Then, at Peter's request, he makes Lois' bust about five cup sizes larger.
** One cutaway portrayed Jesus as [[Soul Brotha|black]].
** He also entertains his friends by turning water [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3c-kz8-bIY into funk].
{{quote|'''Black Jesus''': I rode into town on an ass....(''looks at screen'') [[Your Mom|Yo' momma's]] ass!}}
*:* Another episode portrayed him as ''Chinese''
{{quote|"I just came back from Heaven and I learned that Jesus is Chinese and His last name is Hong. Jesus Hong. I don`t know where they got the Christ."}}
*:* At one point, Jesus shows up to convince the temporarily anti-Semitic Peter that Judaism and Christianity are two sides of the same coin. He then says that all religions are complete crap, earning a thank you from the atheist Brian.
:* In a [[Christmas Episode]], he's in Heaven, teasing Vishnu, who is bummed out because nobody celebrates ''his'' birthday. And in yet another, He pranks Mort with a joy buzzer that He has implanted in the nail wound in his hand; nobody ever said Jesus can't be Way Cool ''and'' [[Jesus Was Crazy| Crazy]] at the same time.
* In the New Zealand animated comedy series, Bro'town, Jesus stars in every episode as every episode starts in heaven with god telling a story using the main characters. Jesus is depicted as a hip but naive teenager who learns from gods stories.
* [[Futurama|The robot Jews believe that He was built, and that He was a well-programmed robot, but they don't believe He was the robot Messiah]].
