1* There’s just something hilarious about seeing Jesus in his underwear, especially when none of the other character stripped down for their “baptisms”.
2* For whatever reason, Jesus feels the need to avert his eyes when the silent film shows a woman in a short dress and underwear.
3* This exchange:
4-->'''Judas:''' Even the doggy-doggies used to come to Lazarus and lick his open, running sores.
5-->'''Jerry:''' [[{{Squick}} Blech!]]
6-->'''Judas:''' Sorry.
7* This exchange:
8-->'''Judas:''' Now what the Good Master is telling us all right now is that up in Heaven, there are about a hundred million little tiny angels about 'yea' by 'yea', and they all take shorthand. And every time you do something silly, they write it in a...
9-->'''Jesus:''' No, no.
10-->'''Judas:''' That's ''not'' what the Good Master is telling us.
11* This line has become sort of a MemeticMutation:
12-->'''Jesus:''' Did I ever tell you I used to read feet?
13-->'''Jeffrey:''' You used to... what?
14-->'''Jesus:''' Some people read palms or tea leaves. I read feet. Look what it says! ''(lifts Jeffrey's foot)'' Ah hah! It says "Rejoice."
15-->'''Jeffrey:''' ''(looking for himself, disappointed)'' It says "Keds."
16** Another popular option is for whoever is playing Jeffrey to say "no, it says ''Reebok''".
17* School productions are often encouraged to add additional skits and sketches. For instance, one has when Jesus said the "give them your coat too" line, somebody responds with a monologue about "What kind of coat is it?" then lists a bunch of things like "Does it zip?...Does it have a pocket in the front?" then, "Is it a hoodie? Because you should only wear a hoodie when it's [lists a bunch of unlikely circumstances like on the third day of the third month every nine years... when it's somebody's birthday in Alaska.])" When another cast member comments that her process is complicated, she responds by saying something about Simplicity.
18* When one of the disciples keeps dancing after "All For The Best" ends and doesn't stop until Jesus points out that the song is over.
19* When the Disciples start fighting each other, it devolves quickly into a slapstick farce. Jesus finally ends it with an eye-rolling DeathGlare and an annoyed, "'''''HELLLLOOOOOOOO????'''''"
20* Upon hearing the teaching to turn the other cheek:
21--> '''John/Judas:''' Aw, Jesus Chr—" (another apostle shuts him up)
22--> '''Jesus and apostles:''' ''Slooowly I turned... step by step, inch by inch...''
23--> ''(Jesus slaps him. John/Judas raises his hand to return the strike, to the {{Gasp}} of the cast. He thinks better of it, and awkwardly mimes picking up a phone.)''
24--> '''John/Judas:''' Hello? ''(offering to Jesus)'' It's for you! ''(Jesus shakes his head in a NoJustNoReaction)'' I didn't think so.
