Best I ever heard was a dutch comic, Hans Teeuwen, playing a sweetly dumb character retelling the whole bible in a couple of minutes. The part where "[...and then] they nailed this guy jesus' hands to his crotch* because he gave everyone a loaf of fish" had me gasping for breath, especially after the great lead up. *(cross being 'kruis' in dutch, a synonym for groin). /checks out the drunk history vids :)
