* PurelyAestheticEra: The Donall and Conall videos are nominally set in 5th-century Ireland, but they regularly make references to modern technology and pop culture, and present-day figures like Richard Dawkins sometimes appear in them. This gets {{Lampshaded}} in "Saint Patrick's Bad Analogies" after Donall makes a ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' reference.

->Teaching the faith by making fun of stuff

A Web video series, created in 2011 by Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod pastor Hans Fiene. [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheLutheranSatire It began on YouTube]], and now [[http://lutheransatire.org/ has their own site as well]].
----
!!''Lutheran Satire'' contains examples of the following tropes:

[[index]]
* AcceptableReligiousTargets: Atheism, Calvinism, Catholicism (particularly Pope Francis), evangelicalism, mainline Lutheranism, and Fiene's own denomination, [[TakeThatUs the LCMS]].
* AuthorAvatar: The pastor who debates Horus is a stand-in for Hans Fiene, the creator of the videos.
* AuthorTract: The whole point of the series.
* BaitAndSwitch: Frank the Hippie Pope [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoU2o1iRN0U tries this]] with Bart the Patriarch.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Jeff, Frank the Hippie Pope's producer.
-->'''Frank:''' Yeah, but if a dude is like, "I'm a gay Christian," like, who am I to judge, you know?\\
'''Jeff:''' You're the pope? The supreme pontiff? "The true vicar of Christ, the head of the whole Church and the father and teacher of all Christians," to you "full power has been given to tend, rule, and govern the universal Church." According to the group of people that you lead, there is ''literally no one on the face of the planet more qualified to judge than you!''
* BitingTheHandHumor: Donall and Conall have no problem mocking the LCMS and its founder, C.F.W. Walther (or rather, [[CatchPhrase P.P.P. Patrick]]).
* BlatantLies:
** Horus' attempts to re-identify himself in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0-EgjUhRqA Horus Ruins Christmas]]:"
-->'''Horus:''' I'm not Mithras, I'm, uh, Quetzlcoatl, Aztec god of the wind, and while all think that you—\\
'''Preacher Man:''' No Christian ''on the face of the planet'' ever heard of Quetzlcoatl until the sixteenth century.\\
'''Horus:''' Well then, I'm... Balder, Norse god of the—\\
'''Preacher Man:''' There were ''a hundred and ninety-three popes'' before Balder's mythology was actually written down.
** And later, the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r2m_cffRjI ancient Egyptian scroll]]" he found:
--> '''Horus:''' [[CatchPhrase Not so fast, preacher man! Behold, it is I Horus, Egyptian god of the sun!]] And while you were busy indoctrinating these idiots with your medieval mumbo-jumbo, I Horus was busy discovering a very ancient Egyptian scroll that will most assuredly unveil the heights of your hypocrisy and send your silly little Jesus cult crashing to the ground.\\
'''Preacher Man:''' And what is the name of this very ancient Egyptian scroll you just discovered?\\
'''Horus:''' [=www.AthiestMixologist.NeilDeGrasseTysonIsMyHomeboy/HeyChristiansYUNoFollowYourFairytaleBook.blogtown.net=]\\
'''Preacher Man:''' Right. And what did you learn from this [[DeadpanSnarker very reliable and meticulously researched]] source?
* BreakoutCharacter: The top three most-viewed videos are all Donall and Conall.
* ButtMonkey: #[=KillTrevorInstead=]
* CallBack: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEEeTpzF42w Jerry the Contempoarary Worship Pediatrician]] mentions that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5pKrwnn_2s Kenny the Sacramentarian Kindergartner]] is a patient of his.
* CatchPhrase:
** Donall and Conall call ''everyone'' Patrick.
** Conall in particular is quite fond of talking about people being stabbed in the face.
** Horus: "[[IncomingHam Not so fast, preacher man! Behold, it is I Horus, Egyptian god of the sun!]]"
* TheCameo: Walther makes one when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d4FHHf00pY Donall and Conall meet Richard Dawkins]].
-->'''Donall:''' I mean, ''really'' Patrick! By your logic the first president of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod can prove himself to be the best-looking man in the world! All he'd have to do is lock every man on the planet in his dressing room right before the beauty pageant begins!\\
'''C.F.W. Walther:''' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Oh no, even then I would still lose.]]
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: The preacher man has no problem mocking and insulting Horus.
-->'''Horus:''' This is absurd! If this is really what Christians believe, then give me one good reason why I've never heard any of this before?\\
'''Preacher Man:''' [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Because you're a biblically illiterate buffoon who has never listened to a single Christian sermon on the issue, talked with a single Christian theologian about the subject, read a single one of the countless words Christians have written on this topic, and your only familiarity with the matter is what you've learned from the Web site of another hopelessly ignorant unbeliever who is convinced that after a 20-second glance at four context-free passages from Leviticus, he is already a greater Biblical scholar than every Christian in the last 2,000 years, including the very men who wrote the Bible?]]\\
'''Horus:''' I meant "give me one good reason" not counting that one.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Apparently, saying you're "not much of a feminist" is reason to staple a cadaver's ovaries to your forehead ... at least, it is if you're Trevor.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The earliest videos done with artificial voices.
* EarWorm:
** Horus' theme song.
** The Westboro Baptist Chipmunks song, and their final protest chant.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Satirical videos from the perspective of a Lutheran minister.
* Gonk: Walther.
--> '''Donall:''' ''(after complimenting him)'' However, your face does look like the GrimReaper had a baby with HumptyDumpty.\\
'''Walther:''' Oh yeah, no that's true. I am an incredibly unattractive person.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** Several of the speakers in "I'm a Christian But I'm Totally Not:"
-->"I don't unquestioningly believe something just because my pastor tells me it's true. I unquestioningly believe something because my ''gender studies professor'' tells me it's true."
** Horus attempts to invoke this. Like all his attempts, it's a NoSell.
* LogicalFallacies: Donall and Conall call out Richard Dawkins and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTwpOfr3NDQ the Mormon missionaries]] for these.
* NayTheist: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEIqEYP_ZvM The Westboro Baptist Chipmunks]] become this, after God reveals Himself to them and commands them to repent.
-->You hate You!\\
You hate You!\\
You hate You!\\
[[ToiletHumor And Your Kingdom smells like poo!]]
* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: When "Frank the Hippie Pope" says that the greatest problem in the world is "youth unemployment," a caption appears underneath him:
-->Yeah, he actually said that.
* SarcasmMode: [[JustifiedTrope It's satire]]; you can expect this in nearly every video. Particularly, the titles of the serieses "Things Your Lutheran Pastor Totally Loves" and "Things Your Lutheran Sister Totally Loves" qualify.

** One of the Buzzfeed parody puppets insists that {{Film/Footloose}} [[KnowNothingKnowItAll is a documentary]].
** Horus' last attempt to ruin Christmas is him trying to masquerade as [[{{Film/Ghostbusters}} Gozer the Gozerian]]. The preacher man sees right through it.
* SmallReferencePools: Conall is a Coldplay fan?
--> '''Donall:''' You abducted it like the Philistine's absconding with the Ark of the Covenant!\\
'''Conall:''' Purloined it like Ahab and Jezebel pilfering Nabal's vineyard!\\
'''Donall:''' Swiped it like David stealing Uriah's wife!\\
'''Conall:''' Poached it like {{Coldplay}} plagiarizing the pancreas out of JoeSatriani!\\
'''Donall:''' Okay, there are like five people who get that reference.
* Squick:
** Invoked in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA_wWmVlypg Martyrs Read Joel Osteen Tweets]].
** The preacher man alludes to "bacon-fried labradoodle" in "Horus Reads the Internet."
* TheStoner: Frank the Hippie Pope.
* UnexplainedAccent: Horus, an Egyptian god, has a German accent.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The preacher man is utterly unfazed when an ''Egyptian god'' appears out of nowhere in the middle of his church service.
