Mr. Deity is the work of Brian Dalton, a tongue-in-cheek, Protestant Woody Allen (if Woody Allen was God). Released bi-weekly on youtube, this series takes the inexplicable logic behind dogmas of Christianity and glosses them over, creating a cute and light-hearted perspective on biblical typos: “Our goal here is not to mock religion, but to use it as a foundation for the humor,” remarks Mr. Dalton in his FAQ section of the website. The series actually exclaims its purpose as creating enough popularity in order for network executives to contract the show for a half-hour television series.
In the second episode, Mr. Deity and the Really Big Favor, God persuades Jesus to volunteer his crucifixion with perks likening the afterworld to a corporate bureaucracy (“Why hast thou forsaken me!!!!????”).
