A character exclaims, "Oh {{God}}!" Or "Jesus Christ!" Or some other variation.

Another character reacts as if he has been addressed.

Named for the following exchange of dialogue in ''TheMatrix Reloaded'', when Agent Smith starts copying himself over Bane:

->'''Bane:''' Oh God!\\
'''Smith:''' "Smith" will suffice.

If a CardCarryingVillain, they'll wryly comment that they're quite the opposite.

** 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!"

* A variation occurs in ''GoodOmens'' when the Hell's Angels realize the foursome that just walked into their bar are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

I said, "Dad, I'm Jesus Christ!"

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Webcomics ]]

* [[http://onatable.comicgenesis.com/d/20021203.html Here]]'s a {{webcomic}} example.

-->'''Jenn''': Oh my God!
-->'''{{Satan}}''': What's your second guess?
* [[http://www.awesomepedia.org/journal/index.php?view=29#a "eh, Satan, hiii... ok, look, it's not that I don't WANT to talk, it's just that I'm kinda busy right now."]]

[[folder: Western Animation ]]

* A variant occurs in an episode of ''{{Animaniacs}}'' that retold the story of Noah:

* In an episode of ''FamilyGuy'', where Peter has convinced others that he has healing abilities and is the Messiah.
-->''Lois:'' (sees a giant golden idol in Peter's image) Oh my God!\\
''Peter:'' Yes.\\
''Lois:'' That's not funny.

** A variation occurs in another episode where Bruno Mannheim finds himself on Apokolips and asks "Where in God's name are we?" to which Kanto replies "That depends. To which God are you referring?"

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Web Animation ]]

* Used often in the ''MetalGear [[AffectionateParody Awesome]]'' series of flash shorts:
-->'''Snake:''' "''Shut up, for Christ's sake, I know how to climb a ladder, Jesus ow my EAR!!''"\\
'''Jesus:''' "''Sorry, bro.''"\\
'''Snake:''' "''Thanks Jesus.''"\\
'''Jesus:''' "''It's coo.''"
** Taken to its logical extreme when Snake, disgusted by Otacon's pantswetting, calls out Jesus' name. Jesus appears, is also disgusted, and calls out God's name. Subsequently, *God* appears, and is disgusted to the point of regretting ever creating piss.
* One of the shorts in the collaborative ''{{Matrix}}'' parody, ''The Matrix Has You'' involves a scene where a carpenter accidentally puts a nail in his thumb and shouts: "Jesus '''CHRIST'''!" Cue Jesus sighing and asking "Whaddya want?"
