History Funny / Preacher2016

* Herr Starr brings Jesse into a meeting with the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury. The scene is tense and dramatic, as the Archbishop explains how God is on the run after a coup in Heaven… and then the Pope snorts out "Give me a break". He then shares his own theory, about how God has abandoned Earth for a new creation, which will be inhabited by a species of 10-foot tall beings with "the prowess of the lion, the flight of the eagle, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a honey badger's sense of smell]]".

** Passing the hand-to-hand combat test by [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbating while in a chokehold]], then using the distraction to kick his attacker in the groin and beat him unconscious. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Then he walks out of the frame and comes back with a golf club to finish him off]].

* After visiting every jazz club in New Orleans and not finding God, the trio blow off steam by visiting the bar Cassidy mentioned where you pay to get shot and conning them. They crank their personalities UpToEleven (especially Jesse, playing the stereotypical do-gooder preacher), have [[GoodThingYouCanHeal Cassidy]] be the ringer, and, once the regulars clear out after they think they've really killed him, rob them blind and drink all their liquor.

* Allfather's reaction to being told that Starr is working against him. "Then he shall ''know my buttocks''…"

-->''Eugene shoots himself''

* "[[AGodAmI I... am the prophet. I... am the chosen o--]]" *'''[[KilledMidSentence BOOM]]'''*

-->'''Emily''': I'm completely available. Not completely like a... Yeah, I'm available.\\

*** "[[LittleNo Oh no.]] No...that's a shite film."

'''Cassidy:''' ♫ [[ExactWords Me some Johnny Cash...]] ♫

-->[[AC:Jesus is coming... RUN!]]

-->'''Jesse:''' They were gonna eat that dragon anyways...\\

'''Fiore:''' A slight... massive security breach-\\

* The Seraphim's arrival at the motel:

'''Fiore:''' ... [[OhCrap It's not.]]\\
''[The Seraphim shoots Fiore in the head ''through the door'']''

-->'''Fiore''': My tenders...!

'''Cassidy:''' Right, fair enough...

-->[[AC:You Don't Have To Go Home But You Can't Pray Here...]]

* Pedro the Prairie Dog is seen again walking his dog... in full costume.

'''Jesse:''' Well... I got a bloody nose.

-->'''Quincannon''': Those of y'all with bludgeoning instruments... I'm talking your, uh, your bats, your hammers, your wrenches, your clubs, billy and otherwise... you're gonna be on the front line. Now, I don't want you to feel like you're human shields, but let's not mince words. You are human, and you're gonna be acting as shields of a sort.

* There's something darkly hilarious about how calm Emily is when talking with Jesse after [[spoiler: feeding Miles to Cassidy]].

* While TheReveal is indeed shocking, it's still funny to realize that [[spoiler:"God" is actually facetiming with the All Saints Congregational Church.]]

* [[spoiler:When Jesse asks "God" who he really is, we get a priceless conversation:]]
-->'''Jesse''': [[spoiler:You're an impostor.]]
-->'''God''': I am the Lord! Your God!
-->'''Jesse''': [[spoiler:You're not God!]]
-->'''God''': [[spoiler:... Yes I AM! (Jesus!)]]
* [[BrickJoke Chief Red Savage and Pedro the Prairie Dog meet again]]. Later, they seem to have finally come to terms with each other... [[spoiler:[[DrivenToSuicide by committing suicide together]]]].

** Making this all the worse, eight episodes later, [[spoiler: it's revealed that this]] ''[[spoiler: is actually God]]''.
* Cassidy takes Tulip to stay with his "old friend" Denis... who clearly can't stand Cassidy, judging by the angry French rant he gives upon them showing up at his place.
-->'''Cassidy''': You speak French?
-->'''Tulip''': No.
-->'''Cassidy''': Yeah, we didn't get any of that, Denis.

* There's an extended scene involving an infomercial about Hurricane Katrina victims... or so it appears, until [[Creator/FrankieMuniz Frankie Muniz]], of all people, makes an appearance and reveals everyone involved in the commercial was an actor.

* Pat, Viktor's head torturer, learns about Jesse's power and plays music in his headset during their fight to make himself immune to the Word. What song does he play to protect himself? [[SoundtrackDissonance "Uptown Girl"]] by [[Music/BillyJoel Billy Joel]].

* The second half of [[spoiler:Eugene's experience in the Extrapolater]] doesn't [[CrossesTheLineTwice cross the line twice]] so much as do a merry jig over it. To elaborate: [[spoiler:the Extrapolater shows the damned [[HopeSpot a version of their worst memory where things might go right,]] before snatching it away. In Eugene's case, Tracy is receptive to Eugene revealing his feelings for her, but she then reveals that she's already taken by God. Enter Jesse, who was apparently in the adjacent bathroom the whole time. He and Tracy start making out, to Eugene's increasing rage, and Eugene ends up shooting himself while Tracy gives Jesse a handjob. But not before Jesse says this:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Jesse''': I told you I was gonna come for you, Eugene, and [[CallingYourOrgasms I'm coming right now!]]]]
-->[[spoiler:''Eugene shoots himself'']]

* Featherstone has to redirect [[spoiler: B.R.A.D.]] so it doesn't strike the apartment Jesse is staying in. Where does she send it to? [[TakeThat Harry Connick, Jr.'s house.]]

* The opening, featuring the ''ridiculously'' [[ComicSutra inventive humping]] of two strangers. [[spoiler:One of whom is revealed to be ''Jesus Christ''.]]
* Jesse meeting [[spoiler:the descendant of Jesus]]. He is properly awed, bows in respect and admiration... [[spoiler:and is summarily pissed on by an inbred moron.]]
* Herr Starr brings Jesse into a meeting with the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury. The scene is tense and dramatic, as the Archbishop explains how God is on the run after a coup in Heaven... and then the Pope snorts out "Give me a break". He then shares his own theory, about how God has abandoned Earth for a new creation, which will be inhabited by a species of 10-foot tall beings with "the prowess of the lion, the flight of the eagle, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a honey badger's sense of smell]]".

* Herr Starr is called upon by the Allfather to provide a demonstration of the Messiah's talents. Humperdoo's only talent, it turns out, is soft-shoe tap dancing, leading to Starr, Featherstone, and a whole host of operatives watching aghast as Hoover and Humperdoo put on a show for the Allfather. This makes him a literal "Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ!" Much to Starr's horror, this performance actually convinces the Allfather to move forward on the Apocalypse... after the Allfather is brought to wheezing cackles by Humperdoo's tap dance.

* Allfather's reaction to being told that [[spoiler:Starr is working against him]]. "Then he shall ''know my buttocks''..."

* Satan keenly nodding along with Eugene's attempt to reach out to him, giving him the time of day to finish his heartfelt speech with the background music all happy and eye-opening. Just as Satan has an [[BaitTheDog "epiphany"]]... *POW*

* Tulip continually [[{{Troll}} fucks]] with Jesse, including ripping out the steering wheel of his truck and hanging it on a street light.
