Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Wholly Moses! is a 1980 Biblical epic spoof directed by Gary Weis and starring Dudley Moore as Herschel, a half-brother of Moses whose life runs in comedic parallel to his more famous relative. Laraine Newman plays his ill-fated wife Zerelda, while various comedic celebrities of the era pop in for quick cameos.The film was a shameless attempt to replicate the commercial and artistic success of the Monty Python troupe's Life of Brian, released the previous year — a task at which it is nigh-well universally considered to have utterly failed. As seen below, here on TV Tropes the film is pretty much remembered for a single short scene between Herschel and Satan, the latter played by John Ritter. | |

The Cameo | |
| Wholly Moses! / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: A whole string of them, including Richard Pryor as The Pharaoh. (Pryor's usual flakiness caused problems for the producers.) | |

Bestiality Is Depraved: Herschel does a stint as a shepherd, so of course the film throws in a few sheep jokes. | |

Big Red Devil: Ritter's Satan is a guy in a Halloween-level devil costume toting the standard triangle-tipped trident; he says he got the job when one day his then-partner God came over to him and said "Here, try this on!" | |
