Welcome to Tobyvision's newest
feature: The What About Jesus? episode guide!
Yes, that's right -- we'll post summaries of each episode of this classic television
series brought to you by the good folks at Tobyvision TV. We've all
got our favorite moments from this memorable show, and this feature is intended to bring
back those memories -- not only for you, the fans, but also for the cast members and
others involved in production.
Each guide installment will feature a plot summary, favorite lines, and reflections from
Jesus Himself! We know you're excited, but before we get the ball rolling, we
thought we'd catch up with Jesus and ask Him to explain ... well, What About Jesus?
Enjoy!
Tobyvision.com: How did
you come up with the idea for this show?
Jesus: Actually, Buddha
and I had wanted to work on a project together for some time. We were lunching
together one day when he looked up from his salad and said, "Jeez-Baby, I got it!
We'll do a show about holy salad dressing!" I loved the idea, and the
rest is history -- although the salad dressing part was scrapped in the early stages.
Tobyvision.com: Who's
your favorite apostle?
Jesus: I've always been
partial to Maurice.
Tobyvision.com: Which
of the Two Fat Ladies is hotter?
Jesus: The dead one.
Tobyvision.com: Are
you a Republican or a Democrat?
Jesus: I support the
Libertarians. I might have been a Republican, but the religious right pisses me off.
Tobyvision.com: What's
your favorite TV show (besides this one, obviously)?
Jesus: Any script Scott
Baio touches is sure to turn to gold. Also, I was a big Joker's Wild
fan. Too bad Jack Barry went to hell. I loved that crusty old turd.
Incidentally, the reason hell is always on fire is because Barry keeps forgetting to put
out his cigarettes.
Tobyvision.com: Define
the word "puff."
Jesus: Richard Simmons.
Tobyvision.com: Have
you ever licked a door?
Jesus: Yes, but that
was during the 60s. I was living a wild life, traveling with the Grateful
Dead and whatnot.
Tobyvision.com: Are
we really supposed to believe you healed that leper guy?
Jesus: I did indeed
heal that leper, but unfortunately my healing caused nasty, unanticipated side effects,
and he died of nose cancer shortly afterwards. I've since been sued for malpractice.
That's why miracles involve so much paperwork these days. If you'd like more
information, you'll need to speak to my lawyers.
Tobyvision.com: If
you know so much, tell me who's going to win the World Series.
Jesus: Just the other
day, my agent leaned over to me over a steaming pot of fondue and whispered, "Stay
golden, Ponyboy." I had no idea what it meant at the time, and I still have no
idea.
Tobyvision.com: What
is your middle name?
Jesus: "Dakota
Mist", actually. My dad's a big hippie.
Tobyvision.com: So
instead of exclaiming "Jesus H. Christ!" people should amend that to "Jesus
D.M. Christ!"?
Jesus: Yeppers.
Tobyvision.com: Is there
truth behind the rumor that you have a weave?
Jesus: Yes. One
cannot always be naturally beautiful, you know.
Tobyvision.com: Can
you turn this water into wine? I've got a party to go to and I need to bring
something.
Jesus: No, but I
can stick a holy foot up your ass. I was laughed out of the Diety's Club
in high school after I granted Spiderman's wishes to have spider-like powers, so I'm done
using my magic on trivial crap.
Tobyvision.com: How
many doubters does it take to change a lightbulb?
Jesus: Three. One
to screw it in and two to be Polish. Hahahahaha! Okay, fine, don't laugh.
I killed at The Apollo last week, you know. Up yours.
Tobyvision.com: Have
you ever given birth to a chicken?
Jesus: It was a turkey.
People often make that mistake.
Tobyvision.com: What's
with the sandals?
Jesus: They have a
slimming effect on me. But I stopped wearing them after I heard about some kid
shooting another kid for his pair of Nike sandals. You hate to hear
about stuff like that. Kids, stop the violence out there! Increase the peace!
Tobyvision.com: Should
they stay in school, also?
Jesus: Oh yeah, and
stay in school! Sure.
Tobyvision.com: Remember
that time you got on Press Your Luck and found a loophole in the board patterns
and won $100,000?
Jesus: No, thou art
mistaken -- but I'm glad somebody blew the lid off that horrible excuse for a show.
I can't believe I got nailed to a cross so you inbreds could create Press Your
Luck. Oh hey, no problem, it didn't hurt! I'm not agonizingly dying
so you guys can spend hours upon hours laughing at whammies. Nope, I'm good.
You just go on. No prob.
Tobyvision.com: What
chu talkin' 'bout, Jesus?
Jesus: Hahaha!
Now that was a show! Gary Coleman is the Eighth Wonder of the World, you
know. Do you think it was easy making those squeezable cheeks?
Tobyvision.com: What's
John the Baptist really like?
Jesus: He's a great
guy. In fact, he and I should be working on a project for Dreamworks this summer.
Tobyvision.com: What
do you think of the name "Britney"?
Jesus: It gets my robe
in a twist.
Tobyvision.com: Do
you think you could be a good NBA point guard?
Jesus: I haven't
fathered enough illegitimate children to be considered for the NBA. However, I know
I could take Kobe one-on-one.
Tobyvision.com: Which is
your favorite Skittle?
Jesus: The bread and
wine flavored ones.
Tobyvision.com: Will
the Orioles ever get any pitching?
Jesus: No, but I thank
Dad everyday that I don't have a uterus.
Tobyvision.com: Whatever
happened to Rosie Perez?
Jesus: She went back to
heaven to continue being my mother.
Tobyvision.com: Vermont
Senator Jim Jeffords: heaven-bound, or doomed to the pits of hell?
Jesus: I'm not sure
what this "Vermont" thing is, but it really steams by beans that everyone
forgets about purgatory these days. Jeez, I go to all this trouble building a
section of the afterlife for you, and this is the thanks I get! Do you know what the
construction costs were for purgatory? Do you know how many hours I put into
purgatory? No, of course you don't. You're all still giggling over your
whammies! Jesus D.M. Christ!
Tobyvision.com: Is
it true that you wrote Ishtar?
Jesus: Ishtar was a
collaborative effort by Satan and myself, but all the funny stuff I wrote got edited out.
Since when is a flying Rowan Atkinson not welcome in a film? Typical of the
Sate man.
Tobyvision.com: What's
with the starving artist look?
Jesus: The chicks dig
it.
Tobyvision.com: Why did you
make all the tasty things fattening, and all the crap that tastes like cardboard good for
you? Who was the heavenly CEO behind that genius decision? Screw you!
Jesus: The taste of
paper has a bad reputation. I used to eat it all the time when I was little, and
look how I turned out! Sure, I was nailed to the cross for the sins of others, but
we all had a good laugh in the end.
Stay tuned to Tobyvision for the first What About Jesus? installment, coming soon!
