* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': Non-religious variant in the sequel ''Picking Up the Pieces'' -- in chapter 5, Xvital has just entered the kitchen of their hotel penthouse suite and sees a mare working on a cake.

The chef, who is still frosting the cake and knows exactly what she means, jokingly but truthfully responds with "That's my cousin's name, actually."

* ''FanFic/{{Sight}}'': when Ichigo is too lazy to name his inner Hollow and tells him to name himself, Hollow!Ichigo mockingly tells Ichigo to call him "Kami."

* The aforementioned ''Film/TheMatrix'' example is the former TropeNamer.

'''Gavin:''' Please stop calling me that.
* In ''[[http://www.uponatable.com/comic/2002/12/03/damnation-in-the-den-of-elemental-sin-part-2/ Once Upon a Table…]]'', after having another player take his name in vain, Jesus responds in kind:
-->'''Mark Jones:''' Jesus Christ!\\
'''Jesus:''' ...Mark Jones!\\
'''Mark:''' Jesus Christ!!\\
'''Jesus:''' MARK JONES!!!
* Slightly more understandable variation in ''Webcomic/CaseyAndAndy'':
-->'''Jenn:''' Oh my God!\\
'''{{Satan}}:''' What's your second guess?
* ''Apathy Adventures'': [[http://www.awesomepedia.org/journal/index.php?view=29#a "Eh, Satan, hiii... OK, look, it's not that I don't WANT to talk, it's just that I'm kinda busy right now. And I was really just sorta cursing, and not actually... evoking... you..."]]

* ''Webcomic/TheUnspeakableVaultOfDoom'' uses this on at least two occasions. Once on a [[http://www.goominet.com/unspeakable-vault/vault/74/ book cover]] and once in a [[http://www.goominet.com/unspeakable-vault/vault/316/ strip]].

* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': A inversion in "Back Talk", when Frasier is dealing with severe back pain. Everyone is trying to give him advice.

'''Niles:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Well, no wonder you're stressed, you've got a whole Universe to run!]]

"Another dinosaur then said, '[[FridgeLogic Who's Jesus?]]'"
--> "And then Jesus said, 'There were no dinosaurs!'"

* In ''Series/YesPrimeMinister'', young civil servant Bernard has been instructed to confiscate all the keys to the door between the Cabinet Office and Number 10, to keep his senior, Sir Humphrey, out. Sir Humphrey had a spare unofficial key however and appears, apoplectic with rage, before a terrified Bernard.
-->'''Bernard:''' Oh my God!\\
'''Sir Humphrey:''' No Bernard, it's just your boss.
** From a ''Series/YesMinister'' episode:
--->'''Hacker:''' How did Humphrey know where I was?\\
'''Bernard:''' God moves in a mysterious way.\\
'''Hacker:''' Let me make one thing clear. Sir Humphrey is not God. Okay?\\
'''Bernard:''' Will you tell him or shall I?
** In the episode "Doing the Honours", while discussing the Order of St Michael and St George. The Order has three grades: Companion (CMG), Knight Commander (KCMG) and Knight Grand Cross (GCMG). Bernard explains what the abbreviations mean in the Civil Service:

--->'''James:''' Look! Chocolate Jesus!\\
'''Carter:''' Please! At work just call me Carter!
* In the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E4FearItself Fear Itself]]", Xander came dressed as Film/JamesBond for Halloween, just in case they get turned into their costumes like they were in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E6Halloween Halloween]]". Willow dressed up as Joan of Arc, because of their similarities, like the time she was almost burned at the stake for being a witch, or her close relationship with God. Her boyfriend, Oz, reveals his costume as a simple name tag sticker: "Hello. My name is God".
--> '''Xander:''' Why didn't I think of that? I coulda been God!\\
'''Oz:''' Blasphemer.
** Later, after having to listen to annoying "spooky" sound effects in a haunted house, the noises finally stop[=:=]
--->'''Buffy:''' Thank the Lord!\\
'''Oz:''' ''(holding power lead)'' You're welcome.

* In the ''Series/{{Blackadder}} Goes Forth'' episode "[[Recap/BlackadderS4E4PrivatePlane Private Plane]]", Lord Flashheart, a popular British aviator enters Blackadder's dugout. Lt. George and Private Baldrick are aghast:

--->'''Baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells:'''' Drugged, by God!\\
'''Blackadder:''' No, by Baldrick actually, but the effect is much the same.

* In the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E13DevilsDue Devil's Due]]" of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', a woman who may be the devil transports Picard off the ''Enterprise'', toys with him for a while, transports him back to the bridge in his bathrobe, and causes him to paraphrase Mae West (above):
-->'''Crewman:''' Captain! Thank goodness you're all right!\\
'''Picard:''' Goodness had nothing to do with it.
* In the ''Series/{{Bones}}'' episode, "The Witch in the Wardrobe", Hodgins gives Angela a neck massage, which she [[NotWhatItLooksLike enjoys a little too much.]]
-->'''Angela:''' Oh God, oh thank you God!\\
'''Hodgins:''' "God" is a little formal. "Hodgins" will do.

-->'''Lab technician:''' Oh my god!\\
'''The Doctor:''' No, I'm the Doctor, but it's an easy mistake to make.
* ''Series/LostInSpace'': Doctor Smith wakes up in the smoky lair of a sinister-looking stranger.
-->'''Doctor Smith:''' Good heavens!
-->'''Stranger:''' Guess again!
* ''Series/{{Lucifer}}'': Played With. Lucifer, having a [[DaddyIssues contentious relationship]] with God, doesn't like expressions that include his name. He really doesn't like it when the women he's sleeping with cry out "Oh God!"
--> '''Lucifer''': Why did you have to bring him into this!?!?
** He also doesn't like it when people say "Thank God."
---> '''Lucifer''': Ugh, the things dad gets credit for.
* In the final episode of ''Series/QuantumLeap'', while (in keeping with all the other ambiguities in the episode) it makes sense in context, Sam sees [[spoiler:his own face]] in a tavern mirror and gasps, "God!" The bartender glances at him and asks, "What?"

* A variation occurs in ''Literature/GoodOmens'' when the Hell's Angels realize the foursome that just walked into their bar are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. One of them exclaims, "Jesus Christ!" while another, who had paid some attention to Revelation, says, "He's probably looking for somewhere to park his bike."

* Variation: in ''Literature/TheMasterAndMargarita'', a Soviet bureaucrat shouts, "The devils take me," having been thoroughly exasperated by Behemoth and Korovyev. Being more or less devils, they enthusiastically agreed and promptly "took" him, leaving behind his empty animated suit. (One English translation has him saying "Damn me", with the same result).
** Similarly, in ''[[Literature/TheOnceAndFutureKing The Sword and the Stone]]'' the curse "Castor and Pollux blow me to Bermuda!" is more effective than planned.
* In the short story ''Young Goodman Brown'', one character exclaims "The Devil!" (somewhat akin to "What the hell?") when startled by a character who later actually turns out to be the Devil.

* A running gag in-story in the ''[[Literature/BetsyTheVampireQueen Undead]]'' series by Mary Janice Davidson. Vampires cannot bear to hear Christ's name or any prayer, as it causes them physical pain. Betsy's tendency to take the Lord's name in vain is therefore unfortunate given her relationship with the vampire Sinclair. So every time she exclaims, "Jesus Christ!" Sinclair winces and says, "I've asked you not to call me that."
* In Creator/PoulAnderson's ''Literature/AMidsummerTempest'', when Jennifer exclaims, "Dear God," Will says another Person holds that post.
* In [[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms Curse of the Azure Bonds]]. Paraphrased:
-->'''Alias:''' Oh [[FantasyPantheon Gods]]...\\
'''[[GodOfEvil Moander]]:''' Just one. Only me.

'''Snape:''' Yes, ''Sir''.\\
'''Harry:''' [[DeadpanSnarker There's no need to]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome call me 'sir,' Professor.]]
* Many of the swears and oaths used in ''Literature/CodexAlera'' revolve around "furies," elemental beings that give people [[ElementalPowers control over the elements]]. When Amara sees the full power of Garados and Thana, a massive mountain and his "wife," the cold winds from the Sea of Ice, she expresses her shock in the standard Aleran swear of "great furies." Placidus Aria simply responds with "two of them."
* In ''Literature/TalesOfKolmar'', a character once exclaims, "Goddess, Rella!" and Rella lightly responds, "Not yet, but I'm working on it." She isn't; she just has a very irreverent sense of humor.

* In ''Literature/MemorySorrowAndThorn'', in one book a [[OurElvesAreDifferent Sithi]] randomly shows up in a human war camp. Most humans have never seen a Sithi and they're believed to be nearly extinct, leading one human to exclaim "Blessed Elysia, Mother of our Ransomer!" [[note]] The dominant human religion in this setting, Aedonism, is essentially Catholicism with the names changed; this expression is equivalent to "Mary Mother of God!"[[/note]] The Sithi replies that no, actually her name is Aditu. Note that Sithi are very alien to humans (and vice-versa), but also that Aditu has a playfully mocking sense of humor, so it's unclear if she honestly believed she was the one being addressed, or was just making a joke.

* In ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'', the Stormfather is a powerful spren conflated with the Almighty. People on Roshar [[OhMyGods swear by him]], which leads to an incident where he shows Dalinar a vision so surprising that Dalinar curses, and the Stormfather answers.

* [[http://youtu.be/AwIjrHceSr0?t=2m41s Brief example]] in the biopic ''Film/{{Jobs}}''.
* The aforementioned ''Film/TheMatrix'' example is the former TropeNamer.

'''Zod:''' ''Zod''.
* ''Film/LAConfidential'':
-->'''Bud White:''' Jesus Fucking Christ!\\
'''Patchett:''' No, Mr White, Pierce Morehouse Patchett.
* In ''Film/{{Chicago}}'', while discussing hiring a con-artist lawyer:
-->'''Roxie Hart:''' Jesus, Mary and Joseph!\\
'''Mama:''' You're talkin' to the wrong people, honey.
* In ''Film/GhostRider2007'', the love interest shouts out "Jesus!" when discovering a body. The demonic villain [[HeWasRightThereAllAlong is suddenly revealed in the room]] as he says, "Not even close..." Specifically, he's {{Satan}}'s son, making him the exact opposite of Jesus.

* ''[[Film/OhGod Oh God! You Devil]]'':
--> '''Bobby Shelton:''' Who are you?\\
''*The devil sticks up his thumb, and a flame comes out of it, like a cigarette lighter. He lights a cigar with the flame, then extinguishes the flame by blowing on his thumb. Bobby Shelton's reaction is a mixture of shock and disgust.*''\\
'''Bobby Shelton:''' My God!\\
'''Devil:''' ''(wry smile)'' Guess again.
** An inversion in the same film.
--->'''Bobby:''' You look like the Devil.\\
'''God:''' I haven't been well lately.
** An earlier entry in this series (''Oh God! Book II''), had God (Creator/GeorgeBurns) mess with the heads of several psychologists by [[RealityWarper toying with whether it was day or night]]. When he finally seemed to have stopped and departed, one sighed, "Thank God!" and his voice responded, "You're welcome."

* ''Film/DeathMachine'': The villain, Jack Dante, is hamming it up, and the annoyed good guy rolls his eyes and remarks "Christ." Dante responses with "Not quite... but close."

* When Fireball shows up in ''Film/TheRunningMan'', Amber exclaims "Jesus Christ!". Ben responds, "Guess again."
* In ''Film/DeathBecomesHer'', when Lisle displays the rejuvenating properties of the potion on Ernest's hand, he exclaims, "My god!" Lisle smiles and says, "Thank you."
* ''Film/TheProphecy'':
-->'''Katherine:''' Oh God...\\
'''Lucifer:''' God? God is love. I don't love you.
* Done in ''Film/TheRulingClass'', where the 14th Earl of Gurney (Peter O'Toole) believes he's Jesus.
* ''Film/ThirtyDaysOfNight''
--> '''Victim:''' Please... God.\\
'''Leader vampire:''' God? ''(looks around)'' No God.
* From ''Film/{{Arachnophobia}}'':
-->'''[[BadassUnintentional Ross]]:''' (After destroying the nest with his ImprobableAimingSkills) Thank God.\\
'''Delbert:''' Don't mention it.
* Played with in ''Film/BigMommasHouse'', when one of the undercover cops has just moved into a neighborhood as part of the operation and is greeted by his female neighbors. When asked if he has a wife, he replies that she's "gone". They sadly ask if she's with Jesus. He corrects them by saying that the guy prefers the Spanish pronunciation.
* After he had to [[StakingTheLovedOne destroy his vampirized daughter Mina]], Prof. Van Helsing in ''Film/{{Dracula 1979}}'' holds his hands to his face and proclaims, "Oh, the devil." Dracula, who has entered the room without him noticing, answers "I'm not as bad as that."
* In ''Film/AmazingGrace'', the abolitionists are surprised when Lord Charles Fox [[HeelFaceTurn walks in unexpectedly to join their side]], leading to the wry exchange:
-->'''Wilberforce:''' Dear God!\\
'''Fox:''' Well, almost.
* The Latin American dub of ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' had to change the "Surely/Don't call me Shirley" puns to "My God/I'm not God" since the original couldn't be translated directly to Spanish while keeping the pun.
* ''Film/DriveAngry''. When someone exclaims, "Jesus!" the Accountant informs him that he's a carpenter and "[[LooksLikeJesus despite what you've heard]], prefers short hair."
* Inverted in the 1993 ''The Making of "...And God Spoke"'', a mockumentary about the filming of a big-budget Bible epic. The actor playing Jesus is so wrapped up in being his character, that when he's studying the script and a stagehand tries to get his attention, the actor doesn't respond. The stagehand exclaims "Jesus!"; the actor turns and says "Yes?"

* One of the shorts in the collaborative ''Film/TheMatrix'' parody, ''The Matrix Has You'' involves a scene where a carpenter accidentally puts a nail in his thumb and shouts: "Jesus '''CHRIST'''!" Cue Jesus sighing and asking "Whaddya want?"
* In chargesdotcomdotbr, there's a vertically-challenged interviewer named Tobby who interviews well-known people. While interviewing Romário, Tobby asked how Romário would define himself. Romário arrogantly asked how to define such a wonderful, perfect and talented person and Tobby's response led Romário to congratulate him for making a good definition.
* During the ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'' Christmas special, Max yells "Jesus Christ!" upon seeing Preston dressed up for his one-man Nativity play. Take a wild guess as to what costume he was wearing.
* ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' uses StockFootage from ''Film/GhostRider2007'' to create this effect in the ComicBook/GhostRider vs. ComicBook/{{Lobo}} battle at the end of the former's rundown.
-->'''Wiz:''' So let this be a warning... should you ever hear the rumble of a motorcycle in the distance and a glow of an ethereal flame on the horizon. Count your sins, because the Ghost Rider is coming. And may God have mercy on your soul.\\
'''Ghost Rider:''' Sorry. All outta mercy.

* A short cartoon shown in the early days of ''WesternAnimation/SpikeAndMike'' involved the main character interrupting, among other things, a brain surgery in progress...
-->'''Surgeon:''' God! Oh God!\\
'''Rick:''' Oh please, let's not be formal. Call me "Bishop".
* In every ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode that features Jesus, some character will exclaim "Jesus!", prompting Jesus to inquire, "Yes?"

* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', the Joker pulls of a more family-friendly version on a copyright official.
-->'''Mr. Francis:''' Great Scott!\\
'''Joker:''' ''Actually'', I'm Irish.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', when Jimmy and Lois see the demon Superman is fighting:
-->'''Jimmy:''' Holy...\\
'''Lois:''' Not the word I would use.
** A variation occurs in another episode where Bruno Mannheim finds himself on Apokolips and asks "Where in God's name are we?" to which Kanto replies, "That depends. [[{{ComicBook/Darkseid}} Which god are you talking about?]]"
* ''WesternAnimation/BromwellHigh'' has an episode where one of the teachers build a robotic Jesus. Obviously, when said teacher says Jesus in dismay, the robot went "...Yes?".
* A RunningGag in ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'' is whenever a character exclaims "Great Scott!", a stereotypical Scotsman by that name appears and says, [[BigYes "YEEESS?!"]]

* A variation in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Celestial Advice," in which Celestia, the pony princess and closest equivalent to a god in their universe, responds to Twilight Sparkle using the phrase "[[HoldYourHippogriffs Celestia-knows-where]]."
-->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' I can't just send [Starlight] off to Celestia-knows-where without thinking it through!

* Used in ''Literature/SailorNothing'', with the variant that the villain responds to the word Hell as opposed to God.

* In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ug3YkVhkemg Prop 9: The Musical]]'', the fundamentalists and pro-gay groups are debating, when Jesus appears.

'''[[Creator/JackBlack Jesus]]:''' Hey, how's it goin'?

* [[http://weknowmemes.com/2012/01/thanks-jesus-for-this-food-de-nada/ Spoofed here]] (for those who [[DontExplainTheJoke don't get the joke]], [[spoiler:"Jesus" is a common Catholic name in Latin American countries.]]

* ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': Non-religious variant in the sequel ''Picking Up the Pieces'' -- in chapter 5, Xvital has just entered the kitchen of their hotel penthouse suite and sees a mare working on a cake. From the smell, she deduces what kind it is, and asks "Mango cake?" The chef, who is still frosting the cake and knows exactly what she means, jokingly but truthfully responds with "That's my cousin's name, actually."
* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'':
** When the PhysicalGod (and someone who was and is worshipped as one) Thor Odinson reveals that he used to be James Potter, the response from [=McGonagall=] is a stunned, "Good God." Thor grins and says, "you called?"
** Later, while discussing the Green Lantern Ring, Fury has a "Hell, no" reaction when Clint mischievously suggests giving it to [[BunnyEarsLawyer Hal Jordan.]] [[spoiler: This becomes HilariousInHindsight in Book III when it turns out that Hal, now on Sakaar, has ''several'' rings linked up to a battery in the style of Hobo Hal in the ''Renegade'' run... and is actually pretty responsible with them and just rolling with the madness that Harry brings with him]].
--->'''Fury:''' God knows what he'd do with it.\\
'''Thor:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I don't know. That's why I was asking you.]]
** In the sequel, ''Ghosts of the Past'', Harry at one point reads the mind of a divine being who's present to try and calm him down after his TraumaCongaLine and the [[spoiler:Dark Phoenix]] Incident. Said being [[spoiler:actually Jesus]], lets Harry read his mind, and Harry... reacts hilariously.
--->[[spoiler:Jesus fucking Christ!]]

* A variation: In the Larry Shue play ''The Nerd'', a character once swears "Jesus!" loudly, but Rick Steadman (the eponymous nerd) thinks the character is addressing him. Rick comments that the name would make him sound like he came from the Bible, or at least be a baseball player: "Jesus Steadman!" He then responds to the name for the rest of the show.
* In ''Theatre/TheBibleTheCompleteWordOfGodAbridged'', John the Baptist [[AudienceParticipation asks the audience]] to give him "an amen for the way of the Lord." When the audience responds sufficiently loudly, he says, "Thank you, Jesus!" Jesus thereupon enters, comes right up to him and says, "You're very welcome." John gasps.

* In ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2'':
-->'''Grobnar:''' And we could look, at last, for the Wendersnaven!\\
'''Sand:''' Oh, Gods.\\

->'''The Doctor:''' No, I'm the Doctor. But hello just the same.
