So I was recently watching “Jack Frost” and it hit me that there are a lot of biblical references in that episode. Such as “Wow, Peter must be out denying everybody today” [when we hear a rooster crow] or “the three horses of the apocalypse, the fourth had after school activities.” Having been raised in the Christian tradition I really find these jokes rather hilarious. So, your fav biblical riff?
I’m going to expand this to include religious references as well. For example, I always enjoy [shot of clouds] “This is God! Pick up the pace!”

I’m a Christian and I love it when a biblical joke gets thrown in there.
Anyway, my favorite biblical riff is from what I consider to be a very underrated episode with 207 – Wild Rebels.
“Uh oh, here comes the Sermon on the Gran Torino….”
“Blessed are the grease monkeys for they will lube….”
“So the afterlife is just vague, menacing dopes from our own lives. That’s the ULTIMATE answer!” Crow (Soultaker)
Touch of Satan: There is a wall with old black and white photos in Melissa’s shed.
Mike: “Oh! She’s a talent agent for the MORMONS!” I live in Utah and I laugh at this riff every time!

“Ah yes, now’s the time for Uncle Jim’s fundamentalist dogma…”
Apropos
@ #76: As a Catholic who lives in rural Virginia (where there are more Baptist churches than there are individual Catholics), I get a chuckle out of that one as well.
off topic but as a fan of lego (and i think there were a few lego jokes in the show)

A bit late but I always liked this bit from “Being from Another Planet” just because of Servo’s use of Biblical English:
Frat boy: “Sarah?”
Servo: “This is Abraham! Hast thou seen Isaac?”
Crow singing Christmas carols to the dance music in “Incredibly Strange Creatures…” is another one.
In “Ring of Terror” when one of the main characters dies in the morgue and the camera suddenly cuts to the cat:
“I’m Satan. I did it, and I’m proud!”
Also love this joke in “A Touch of Satan”:
“So in the end, Satan wins, I guess?”
“Yep, pretty much a shut-out for Satan.”
I was gonna chose Gary from “Horrors of Spider Island”, but Dark Grandma of Death beat me to it. ( I never thought I’d use that phrase). It cracks me up every time.
I guess I’ll go with “Moses, move the bike”, from Giant Spider Invasion.
Oops, Lucas beat me to that one.
The bit in the Rifftrax of “The Room” where Johnny and the gang are all in tuxes, and they want to play football (naturally) and Peter refuses. As they goad him on with “Yer jus a lill chickin, cheep cheep cheep!” Bill riffs, “Oh, he’ll just deny you three times” and, count ’em, Peter says “No,” one, two, three times!
Later in the actual football scene, Kevin prays “Spiral cut ham, full of grace…” which sounds like a pretty good prayer, actually.
