Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPassing a skeleton by the side of the road, Stan asks Jesus, "Anyone you knew?" Jesus answers, "Yeah, he was my father's jester. Really funny dude." This is an oblique reference to the famous graveyard scene in Hamlet (Act 5, Scene 1) "This same skull ... was Yorick's skull, the king's jester. ... Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy ...."
- GoofsWhen Jesus and Stan take the elevator in the United Nations building they pass the 50th floor. That building only has 39 floors.

Featured review
Nearly excellent episode
I was curious about this episode since I became a fan of AMERICAN DAD as it's from the same creator of FAMILY GUY and it's perfect for when you have lunch or you are tired on Sunday afternoons and evenings (and there were many especially during last year thanks to the pandemic). This episode has a score of 8,9 and I told myself ''I have to see it!!''. So on December 2019 I bought the DVD set of this particular season and when I arrived to this episode I couldn't help but have the same opinion as the many other users that rated it.
The episode is set on Christmas. The Smith family arrives late at church at Christmas and Stan and Francine go in the locker room for making out. When they return in the church they notice that everyone has left except their clothes and Stan and Francine go outside for seeing what happened: everybody including Steve and Hayley has been raptured and they are going to heaven. Stan tries to investigate after watching a fake documentary about the Antichrist and he even fights with Francine because of a guy who proclames himself as Jesus. Then the episode moves in another alternate universe where the AntiChrist (voiced by Andy Samberg) has taken control of the world and it's a reign of chaos. Here Stan is a mercenary that joins forces with Jesus and Roger for going to save Francine and all returns to normal and the family is seen going to church and not complaining like they did in the beginning (and Klaus is hung on a wall like the head of a moose).
I think that this episode is so highly rated for the fact that is set on Christmas and also because it deals about a possible war with the Antichrist without offending Catholics (including me and 95% of Italy's population). One of those episodes that truly deserve all the praise.
