'''Joker:''' ''(spins to look behind him)'' Where?! ...Oh, I see. You were addressing ''me''. }}
** In an even earlier issue (''Laughing Fish'', which was the basis for the below episode of the Animated Series), Joker bursts into a patent office, and the clerk remarks "Good Lord!" After asking [[Where Where|where the Lord was]] and looking around. He then says "Oh, were you addressing me? A term of endearment perhaps. Admit it, you've always secretly admired me."

** And in a strange twist, it turns out [[Will Smith]] was originally offered the role of Neo.
* Another film example, somewhat inverted, from ''[[Superman II (Film)|Superman II]]'', albeit it predates the example and is far more infamous, when the President has just been forced to [[Kneel Before Zod]], and is horrified.
{{quote| '''President:''' Oh, God!<br />
'''Zod:''' ''Zod''. }}
* ''[[LAL.A. Confidential]]'':

'''Mama:''' You're talkin' to the wrong people, honey. }}
* In the ''[[Ghost Rider (Filmfilm)|Ghost Rider]]'' movie based on the [[Marvel Universe]] character, the love interest shouts out "Jesus!" when discovering a body. The demonic villain [[He Was Right There All Along|is suddenly revealed in the room]] as he says, "Not even close..."
* In ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'', minor character Jesus Quintana makes an overblown threat to the Dude's friend Walter.
{{quote| '''Dude:''' Jesus!<br />
Line 62:
'''Bruce''': You can call me Bruce. }}
** It should be noted that at this point in the movie, Bruce actually has been given God's powers, making this a play on the trope.
* ''[[Oh, God!|Oh God! You Devil]]'':
{{quote| '''Bobby Shelton''': Who are you?<br />
''*The Devil sticks up his thumb, and a flame comes out of it, like a cigarette lighter. He lights a cigar with the flame, then extinguishes the flame by blowing on his thumb. Bobby Shelton's reaction is a mixture of shock and disgust.*''<br />
Line 72:

** ''Bloodline'' features Pinhead responding to an "Oh my God"-type moment with "Do I look like someone who cares what God thinks?"
* ''[[Death Machine (Film)|Death Machine]]''. The villain, Jack Dante, is hamming it up, and the annoyed good guy rolls his eyes and remarks "Christ." Dante responses with "Not quite... but close."
* In ''[[History of the World Part One|History Of The World, Part I]]'', someone shouts, "Jesus!" and Jesus himself replies, "Yes?"

Line 83:

{{quote| '''Adams''': Good GOD! A whole week! The entire earth was created in a week! <br />
'''Jefferson''': Someday, you must tell me how you did it. }}
* Played straight in the first [[Wishmaster]] movie, when, after the Jerkass Genie has arranged something horrible to happen, the (unwitting at the time) wisher says "Oh my god!", with the JG replying "Not yet, mortal. Soon".
* When Fireball shows up in ''[[The Running Man (Filmfilm)|The Running Man]]'', Amber exclaims "Jesus Christ!". Ben responds, "Guess again."

== Literature ==
* A variation occurs in ''[[Good Omens (Literature)|Good Omens]]'' when the Hell's Angels realize the foursome that just walked into their bar are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. One of them exclaims, "Jesus Christ!" while another, who had paid some attention to Revelation, says something like, "No, but I'm sure he'll be around in a minute."
* In ''[[Jack Ryan (Literature)|The Bear and The Dragon]]'' people keep reacting to President Jack Ryan's presence unannounced with "Jesus!" He eventually responds, towards the end of the book, with "That's not my name!"
* Variation: in ''[[The Master and Margarita]]'', a Soviet bureaucrat shouts "the devils take me", having been thoroughly exasperated by [[Those Two Bad Guys|Behemoth and Korovyev]]. Being more or less devils, they enthusiastically agreed and promptly "took" him, leaving behind his empty animated suit. (One English translation has him saying "Damn me", with the same result).
** Similarly, in ''[[The Once and Future King|The Sword and the Stone]]'' the curse "Castor and Pollux blow me to Bermuda!" is more effective than planned.
* In the short story ''Young Goodman Brown'', one character exclaims "The Devil!" (somewhat akin to "What the hell?") when startled by a character who later actually turns out to be the Devil.
* In the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel, ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Small Gods|Small Gods]]'', where Brutha, the protagonist literally carries his god (currently in the form of a tortoise) around with him:
{{quote| '''Brutha:''' Oh, my god...<br />
'''Om:''' What now? }}
Line 124:
'''Harry:''' [[Deadpan Snarker|There's no need to]] [[Moment of Awesome|call me 'sir,' Professor.]] }}
* Many of the swears and oaths used in the ''[[Codex Alera]]'' revolve around "furies," elemental beings that give people [[Elemental Powers|control over the elements]]. When Amara sees the full power of Garados and Thana, a massive mountain and his "wife," the cold winds from the Sea of Ice, she expresses her shock in the standard Aleran swear of "great furies." Placidus Aria simply responds with "two of them."
* In [[Tales of Kolmar (Literature)|Tales of Kolmar]], a character once exclaims "Goddess, Rella!" and Rella lightly responds "Not yet, but I'm working on it." She isn't; she just has a very irreverent sense of humor.

Line 131:
** "Another dinosaur then said, '[[Fridge Logic|Who's Jesus?]]'"
** "And then Jesus said, 'There were no dinosaurs!'"

Line 233:
 
== Theater ==
* In the Dark Comedy play ''The Ruling Class'', The 14th Earl of Gurney, Jack (played marvelously in the film version by [[Peter O 'Toole]]) is convinced that he is Jesus Christ, the Messiah. When one character exclaims "Jesus Christ" he calmly answers, "Yes?"
** He also originated the quote "How did you realize you were God?" "Well, I was praying one day and then realized I was talking to myself."
* Related: In the 2010 stage revival of [[Yes Prime Minister]], After Jim Hacker says, "Oh God!" The lights go out due to the thunderstorm & Humphrey appears in the doorway, illuminated from behind.
Line 245:
** Although, such obliviousness is pretty well par for the course wherever Grobnar is concerned.
 
* ''[[Command and& Conquer: Renegade (Video Game)|Command and Conquer Renegade]]'':
{{quote| '''Mobius:'''(to Sydney) Thank God you're alive!<br />

{{quote| '''Jenn''': Oh my God!<br />
'''[[Satan]]''': What's your second guess? }}
Line 263:
* Done non-humorously in [[Dominic Deegan]] [http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2006-03-31 here.]
{{quote| '''Dominic''': Oh my God. No. God has nothing to do with this.}}
