Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has appeared in many episodes of South Park. Among his various appearances, he has been seen hosting his own public access television call-in show, Jesus and Pals. He is a member of the Super Best Friends. He is voiced by Matt Stone.

Jesus also fought Satan, the Prince of Darkness in season one's "Damien" wherein the son of the devil goes to South Park Elementary. When Jesus fought Satan, every resident of South Park believed that he was sure to lose, and so they bet on Satan, resulting in only one person betting on Jesus. That better turned out to be Satan, after Jesus throws a weak punch at Satan, and Satan drops down, faking injury as Jesus is declared winner. This was part of Satan's plan to steal the townspeople's money to buy real estate.

He was also featured in season three for South Park's millennial new years episode "Are You There God? It's Me, Jesus", where he is worried that for the new millennium, he may get crucified again, so he seizes the new millennium as an opportunity to do something cool so the people won't crucify him. Jesus asks his Father, to come down to Earth to impress everyone. When God says no, Jesus organizes a Rod Stewart concert. When Rod Stewart can't perform, the crowd goes to crucify Jesus. Jesus sulks with Stan, who hasn't got his "period" yet. Jesus then realizes that God can't solve everybody's problem and that he shouldn't have asked God to help him, which cheers up Jesus.

Jesus later appears in the fifth season episode entitled "Super Best Friends" wherein Jesus and other traditional religious prophets, teachers, heroes and demigods combine forces to fight the evil magician, and head of the cult Blanetology, David Blaine. Jesus' power was master carpentry skills, and he performed his biblical miracles by asking the crowd to turn around while Jesus gets what he needs then he asks the crowd to turn back around, to see his "miracle".

In the season six finale, "Red Sleigh Down" he was killed by a Muslim extremist by a gunshot through the back. He has not been seen as an actual character since, until "Fantastic Easter Special". However, in "Cartoon Wars Part II", he was featured as a mock-cartoon character in an "Al-Qaeda" production featuring Americans defecating all over each other. The cartoon was an inflammatory retaliation against Family Guy showing an image of Muhammed. He has been seen in the 200th and 201st episode, "200" and "201" along with the other Super Best Friends.

He was also in "Imaginationland", as a member of the Council of Nine, where he and the council discussed the evil imaginary creatures attacking the good side of Imaginationland. Jesus is then seen fighting in the battle, where he is battling against an alien from the movie Alien, until Butters imagines an M-60 for Jesus, which Jesus promptly uses to help win the battle.

He appears for a split second in South Park: Bigger,Longer & Uncut, as one of the american troops marching outside kyles house. In this he wears a army uniform but without a helmet to make room for his halo.

Trivia

 * In "Imaginationland Episode I" he is said to be imaginary but in other episodes he lives in South Park and even has his own show.
 * Despite the fact Jesus is somewhat active in the South Park world (having a public access TV show, performing "miracles" on stage, and intervening with Vatican law on at least one occasion), there are still Atheists. This becomes more vexing when you realize that there are holy figures other then Jesus appearing quite frequently.
