10 Adult Swim Infomercials Better Than Too Many Cooks

By Adrian Serban /

2. Book Of Christ

This is only the second infomercial to make fun of religion, but the Book of Christ is far more successful than the previous Miracle Man bit. Here, Jesus is uncompromisingly made fun of and while that's nothing new, it brilliantly exposes blind faith's weakest spots and is not ashamed to use dirty blows. The premise is that a scroll that contains the actual words of Jesus (and not a retold gospel) has been found. Only it turns out that Jesus was actually a bit of a douchebag with an ego big enough for the whole Trinity and a very doubtful moral sense. it may be even suggested that he was completely bonkers. Still, it doesn't take the believers too long to deem the words of the Lord inspiring and moving. Hilarity ensues while they irrationally attach themselves to anything Jesus related, including a digital audio reconstruction of his cough. The ending is fitting, to say the least.
