Year One is a 2009 comedy film starring Jack Black and Michael Cera as a pair of weak hunter-gatherers in Ancient Rome who get caught up in a plot to rescue their tribe from the City of Sodom.Zed (Black) and Oh (Cera) are would-be hunters who dream of becoming something more. After the duo is banished from their tribe (thanks to Zed eating from a tree of Forbidden Fruit), they embark upon a series of adventures, and run into various characters from The Bible (influencing historical events as a result). The two are eventually captured and brought as slaves to the City of Sodom, where they discover the women they once pined for, Maya and Eema, have also been enslaved, along with the rest of their tribe. It's up to Zed and Oh to rescue their tribe and become the heroes they were meant to be.The film features a large amount of Anachronism Stew and features a wide assortment of noted comedic actors in bit parts, including Harold Ramis in both his final acting part and the final film he directed before his death.Not to be confused with Batman: Year One. | |

Incest Is Relative | |
| Year One / int_21776103 | comment |
Incest Is Relative: Zed casually mentions how his sister, Eema, is quite hot and talks about how he'd be fine sleeping with her. His conversation with Oh exposes that he did in fact sleep with his own mother. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Year One / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: For starters, we have the story of Cain and Abel, followed shortly after with Abraham and Isaac, and then a visit to the city of Sodom. An alternate ending even has the destruction of Sodom, and all of this happens in the span of a couple weeks at most. | |

The Abridged History: If we were to take all of the historical facts behind The Bible at face value, we'd get this film — a comedic Anachronism Stew of Bible Times and Ancient Rome. | |

Wretched Hive | |
| Year One / int_40cbee83 | comment |
Wretched Hive: Sodom. The guards are corrupt and oppress the peasants, they still sacrifice virgins for rain (that doesn't come), there's slaves all over the place, and of course there's the sodomy. | |

Lethally Stupid: Zed. From impaling one of his fellow hunters with his spear during a boar hunt, to setting the tribe's huts on fire, there's almost nothing that will stop Zed from making a terribly dumb decision. | |
