This chapter discusses different approaches to religious satire from the context of the Anglo-American cultural sphere by exploring various television comedies, such as The Vicar of Dibley, Father Ted and the work of Monty Python in the UK, and The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy and Curb Your Enthusiasm in the United States. From stand-up jokes, cartoons and sitcoms about priests and men of faith to satires of the contemporary culture clash between Christians, Jews and Muslims, humour about religion in the United States, Britain and the pan- Scandinavian context operates from the same premise: identifying and negotiating the contradictions between our own Christian traditions and the challenges of religious pluralism and freedom of speech in an increasingly globalised world.
