While it is a spoof of "wholesome" Christian films such as ''Film/GodsNotDead'', ''Film/SavingChristmas'' and ''War Room'', ''Jesus, Bro!'' is not a criticism of Christianity (indeed, a few sympathetic characters are Christian in-story) but a lampooning of the HollywoodAtheist trope mixed with some absurdist humor and a little bit of BlackComedy.
----
!!''Jesus, Bro!'' provides examples of:
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Jesus appears as "Santa Christ" specifically because Rick had earlier compared belief in Jesus to belief in Santa Claus. Jesus notes that he also once appeared as [[spoiler:a chicken sandwich]].
* ActingForTwo: Doug Walker plays a pair of identical twin brothers, though neither are seen at the same time.
* BestialityIsDepraved: After his conversion, Rick no longer believes that humans evolved from monkeys and so he states that he no longer believes that sex with them is acceptable. [[spoiler: This actually upsets Samuel Tobinski, who declares that he will not apologize for having sex with them.]]
* TheBet: [[spoiler:Turns out that Jesus set Rick on his task because of one of these with the Devil]].
* BlackBestFriend: Carlos to Rick.
* BrickJoke: A few of these.
** An early scene has Rick and Carlos hunting while Rick gets a phone call. This leads to a FunnyBackgroundEvent of [[spoiler:Carlos chasing around a running bush. In a later scene, Carlos is seen with the 'dead' bush slung over his sholder. Later, Rick mention's Carlos's ability to field dress a bush]].
** When explaining why he is appearing as Santa Christ, Jesus tells Rick that on another occasion he appeared as a [[spoiler:chicken sandwich]]. In addition to meeting the man who saw Christ in that form, [[spoiler:Rick ''himself'' sees Christ in chicken sandwich form just after the ResetButton, which causes him to remember all of the events of the movie]].
* ChurchOfSaintGenericus: No specific Christian sects are mentioned. Willy Whitehead has a poster celebrating the Pope in his War Room, but elements more consistent with Protestant denominations pop up now and then also.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Happens near the end of the film [[spoiler:because Rick prayed for too many neckbeards to spontaneously combust. Fortunately, God has a reset button]].
* EmbarrassingLastName: Rick Whitehead ''hates'' his last name.
* FireAndBrimstoneHell: Not ''all'' of Hell, as Rick meets the Devil in what looks like a basement or boiler room, but a nearby door opens up to reveal a flowing river of lava (they also have an option of a lake of fire, the differences between it and the lake are supposedly negligible).
* FluffyCloudHeaven: Rick meets Jesus in one of these, though it is a bit sparse due to budget constraints [[spoiler:and the fact that it is really just a soundstage ''in-universe'']].
* HollywoodAtheist: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] for parody. Rick is a prime example, becoming violently ill at the sight of a man engaged in quiet prayer and lobbying for ''Film/A Christmas Story'' to be retitled ''A Holiday Story''. Other atheists seen in the film (primarily followers of Rick) are equally absurd, with many engaging in violence against Rick simply because of Rick's conversion.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Rick is established as being self-centered early on. Even after his conversion, his efforts to win followers to Christ is motivated solely by the promise that he will get Elizabeth back. [[spoiler:His selfless act at the end is what finally resolves the plot]].
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Elizabeth goes on to have nineteen children after breaking up with Rick and marrying someone else. [[spoiler: After only two days. And a few days later she has a twentieth.]]
* MrExposition: Or, rather, Miss Exposition in the form of Rick's girlfriend, Elizabeth. [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] to the point of a [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] being put on it more than once. Apparently giving out [[AsYouKnow extensive backstory to people who already know it]] is a bizarre personality quirk of hers.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Samuel Tobinski, the manager of many atheist-themed Youtube channels (including Rick's) has an identical twin brother named Kendrick, who manages Christian-themed Youtube channels.
* ResetButton: After Rick [[spoiler: inadvertently triggers the Rapture prematurely, God does this]].
* SpontaneousHumanCombustion: Rick learns that a few people succumbed to this trope after [[spoiler: Rick prayed for it to happen in his War Room. Once he realises that he possesses this power, the casualty count gets a lot higher]].
* TakingTheHeat: Rick steps in and offers to do this for [[spoiler: Santa Christ]], taking the blame for [[spoiler:starting the Rapture prematurely, on the condition that Elizabeth be allowed to survive and have a good life afterward. Fortunately, God already knew what happened and had a [[ResetButton different solution]]]].
* YourCheatingHeart:
** Rick confesses to having cheated on his girlfriend (whether this was Elizabeth or a previous girlfriend is unstated) with a woman dressed as a clown.
** Elizabeth eventually tells Rick that the man who she married may be having an affair with Bristol Palin. And fathered sixteen children with her.

Rick "The Rickhead" [[EmbarrassingLastName Whitehead]] is one of the most popular atheist Youtubers on the Internet, widely respected by his peers for his no-nonsense method of telling people exactly what they believe but are too afraid to say themselves. Things seem to be going well for him as he is told that he is to be given the "Atheist of the Year" award, but a subsequent fight and breakup with his girlfriend leads to a night of drinking where he passes out and has a vision of ...[[ItMakesSenseInContext Santa Christ]], who tasks The Rickhead of using his Internet soapbox to spread the good word to his millions of followers.
HilarityEnsues.
