comment |
The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged) is a play by Adam Long, Reed Martin & Austin Tichenor, with additional material by Matthew Croke, first presented by the Reduced Shakespeare Company in 1995. The show skims over all the books of The Bible in two acts: one for the Old Testament, the other for the New Testament, adding in anachronistic jokes and songs and a SuperSoaker Fire Extinguisher for entertainment value.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) |

As the Good Book Says...: When the players are idly chatting about the weather, one of them quotes the apocryphal Bible verse, "Many are cold, few are frozen," from the Book of Galoshes in the New Testament. |

Audio Adaptation: The recorded version of the show makes a few changes, to include a Lampshade Hanging of how they had to cut out the visual gags. |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: The Tower of Babel scene has fake Spanish ("Taco sombrero Antonio Banderas!") and fake Japanese ("Buddha shinto mushy-mushy, Godzilla killy-killy sukiyaki?"). |

Brick Joke: During the Tower of Babel segment it's mentioned that "Go to" is "biblical for 'hey'". The final song ends with everyone shouting "Go to!" |
