* [[KnightTemplar Light Yagami]] of ''Manga/DeathNote'' does this from time to time (particularly when talking to [[KnightTemplar Mikami]], who actually is addressing him). It does indicate both power and insanity, but [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity mostly insanity]].

* [[KnightOfCerebus Yhwach]] of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. It's right there in his name: When he was just born, the people considered him a holy child due to the miracles he could perform. The first thing he ever heard was of them chanting "YHWH" (Yahweh), one of the ancient Hebrew names for God. He took that name for himself, and tweaked it just a tad to promote his own identity, thus resulting in Yhwach.

* In the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "Fear Itself", Xander came dressed as James Bond for Halloween, just in case they get turned into their costumes like they were in a previous Halloween episode. 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.

* An example of splicing footage from the ''Film/GhostRider'' movie occurs in the ComicBook/GhostRider vs. SelfDemonstrating/{{Lobo}} ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' at the end of the former's rundown.

** Inverted in ''{{Discworld/Hogfather}}'', where the God of Hangovers actually considers himself the oh god of hangovers, because people always invoke him with "oh god...".

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novel ''Discworld/SmallGods'', where Brutha, the protagonist, carries his god (currently in the form of a tortoise) around with him:
-->'''Brutha:''' Oh, my god...\\

** Inverted earlier in the novel: Brutha sees an eagle and remembers Om, who ended up in his vicinity due to an eagle's failure to turn said god into lunch. The people who are traveling with him at the time mistake this for a general exclamation.
--->'''Brutha:''' Oh! My God!\\

* An example of splicing footage from the ''Film/GhostRider'' movie in the ComicBook/GhostRider vs. SelfDemonstrating/{{Lobo}} ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' at the end of the former's rundown.

* [[TheEmperor Yhwach]] of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. It's right there in his name: When he was just born, the people considered him a holy child due to the miracles he could perform.

* Used often in the ''VideoGame/MetalGear [[AffectionateParody Awesome]]'' series of Flash shorts:
-->'''Snake:''' Shut up, for Christ's sake, I know how to climb a ladder, Jesus ow my EAR!!\\
'''Jesus:''' Sorry, bro. (''heals Snake's ear'')\\
'''Snake:''' Thanks, Jesus.\\
'''Jesus:''' It's coo'.
** Taken to its logical extreme when Snake, disgusted by Otacon's pantswetting, calls out Jesus' name. Jesus appears, is also disgusted, and calls out God's name. Subsequently, ''God'' appears, and is disgusted to the point of regretting ever creating piss.
* 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 (or their [[{{Expy}} expies]]). 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.

* ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' does this a lot, especially in the early seasons.

-->'''Thor:''' I don't know. That's why I was asking you.

A character exclaims, "Oh {{God}}!" Or "Jesus Christ!" or some other variation. Another character reacts as if they have been addressed. Can be used by heroes or villains, and is usually an indicator of [[PhysicalGod great power]], [[AGodAmI great insanity]], or [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity both]]; otherwise, it's PlayedForLaughs.

** And, from season 4's finale:

'''Ruby:''' Guess again. [[note]]She's just succeeded in tricking him into opening Lucifer's cage, thereby setting the Devil loose on the world. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Whoops]].[[/note]]
