What if Jesus had gone around doing stand up comedy instead of parlor magic tricks?

I don’t think he would have been nearly as successful. Let’s face it, there isn’t exactly a rich vein of comedy to mine in the scriptures, is there? Great flood, eternal torture in Hell, slaying the Philistines, plagues, infanticide, wrath, vengeance, etc. That’s kind of a downer.

He wouldn’t have made it very big in the States, and would probably have had a performance of his cancelled from Letterman. Look at what happened to Bill Hicks, the closest thing to Jesus that US stand-up has yet produced.

“Parlor magic?”
Dude, you try rising from the dead all on your own. Then ask Jesus how it’s done. Whoops…a little late then….

In addition to “parlor tricks” (I’ve never seen anyone else spontaneously heal leprosy, walk on water, raise the dead, heal insanity, or the like), haven’t you read His words? He was having a wonderful time skating verbal circles around the smug know-it-alls of His time and answering their sneakiest and knottiest questions with a few simple, well-placed observations. Few things are funnier than watching a pious twit getting tangled up in his attempts to silence erudite opposition from an apparently dirty ragtag bunch of itinerants!
