Kids in the Hall - Until Proven Guilty

From season 3, episode 6 of the television show The Kids in the Hall

[@Stevo935]

"Oh right. And I would never lie under oath.....not to GOD......" That line broke me up, lol

Its the perfect win.

[@vmelkon]

@fred savage : No, you are the coward. Let's see you make jokes about Thor.

[@JanetStarChild]

@fred savage Making a joke about the Abrahamic god is in fact an indirect joke towards Islam (as well as Christianity and Judaism).

[@JanetStarChild]

@fred savage Correct, but it _is_ an Abrahamic religion, which was the point I made. When people talk about "God", they're usually referring to the Abrahamic god character, which is the core mythological component that Judaism, Christianity and Islam all share.

[@JanetStarChild]

@fred savage It's the same god, you ignoramus. Put your foolish prejudice aside and do some research. Yahweh and Allah are literally the same character, like Zeus and Jupiter.

[@variable5515]

Pretty impressive how they captured all the nuance of a modern courtroom trial.
