With the release of the fifth episode of "The Misadventures of Jesus H. Christ" very rapidly approaching I thought I'd go through a little retrospective on the last four.
Here it is, our very first episode of the toon! Although the story and animation grow by leaps and bounds in further episodes, this is still a classic that I love watching in all it's absurdly offensive glory. There's nothing quite like a raging Jesus boner getting soft because God decides to show up and ruin the party.
In this second episode we get an inside look at what heaven is really like, and Jesus unintentionally ruins the family breakfast. This is the first episode to delve into the unstable mental state of Joseph, who is afraid God is constantly screwing his wife. My favorite moment is at the very end, when God reveals the only person he likes to see suffer more is Job. We also discover that Mary is not only a smoking hot mama, but she also can't seem to stop from getting her shirt wet. The God board appears for the first time here (keep watching the background in God's office throughout the series!)
Jesus' training finally begins in episode three, and God explains why murder is necessary. We got raging drunk for part of this one, as Jesus and Gabe give up on trying to develop magic powers and decide to hit a party.
After a plan to get Jesus' love interest drunk goes terribly wrong, Jesus and Gabe deal with the consequences. Meanwhile, God invites some of his closest mythical friends over for a card game. Here we finally get to see some of the other deities like Cthulhu and Black Santa. There is a brief appearance by Jayne as the cutest angel who makes the terrible mistake of contradicting God during a poker game.
There are also a host of special features, including deleted scenes and outtakes, that can be found here. You can also send in a God question that just might show up in a future episode. Please feel free to leave us comments on the website or Youtube pages and let us know what you think!
