What is the Mel Gibson and Jesus Christ meme?
Mel Gibson and Jesus Christ is a behind-the-scenes photo from the set of The Passion of the Christ. Gibson, in a denim shirt and jeans, sits in a director's chair and gestures as if explaining something, while Jim Caviezel sits next to him in full Jesus costume: crown of thorns, blood-soaked robe and wounded hands folded in his lap, listening patiently. The joke is that it looks like two coworkers on break casually discussing the crucifixion, so captions turn it into a chat between the director and Jesus himself, often about scripture, plot holes or the reality of the job.
Origin: The Passion of the Christ was directed by Mel Gibson and released in 2004, with Jim Caviezel playing Jesus. The candid photo of the two talking between takes later spread as a reaction image and captioned meme.
Also known as: Mel Gibson Talking to Bloody Jesus, Mel Gibson and Jesus, Passion of the Christ Behind the Scenes, Jim Caviezel Jesus.
How to use the Mel Gibson and Jesus Christ meme
Make it a dialogue. The top box is Gibson's question or note, the bottom box is Jesus answering in a calm, matter-of-fact voice. The humor comes from treating huge religious events like a work meeting or a casual catch-up.
Tech support, film-set logistics, office politics and sequel talk all work, as long as the reply stays deadpan. A good trick is making Gibson sound confused and Jesus sound tired of explaining it again. Keep it playful rather than mocking anyone's faith.
