* ''ComicBook/BePrepared'': Vera doesn't quite get the Russian Orthodox church liturgies or what she's saying when she recites in church (and once gets caught fidgeting and reprimanded by an elderly woman next to her). She's especially annoyed at outdoor church service at camp, which is held rain or shine. That said, she ''does'' love the icons of the church, and has an image of the saint she's named for above her bed at home.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons': One of the biggest character flaws of Reverend Timothy Lovejoy is that he is TheBore and he delivers this kind of religious service constantly. It is extremely heavily implied that it's because he is uninspired and tired of being a Reverend (you can blame Ned Flanders for this).

* A priest dies and goes to Heaven. After spending some time there, he notices that a taxi driver is being treated with much more respect than he is, so he goes before God to ask why.
-->'''Priest''': Lord, why is that man being treated so much better than me? I dedicated my life to teaching others about you, but all he did for a living was drive a taxi.\\
'''God''': When people came to your church, were they always alert and paying attention to you?\\
'''Priest''': No. In fact, sometimes they fell asleep during my sermons.\\
'''God''': Well, that man was a taxi driver in New York City. [[DrivesLikeCrazy And not only were the people he drove very wide awake, but they were usually praying.]]
