Rappin' for Jesus is a viral video featuring Pastor Jim Colerick and his wife Mary Sue, which surfaced on YouTube in 2013 despite claiming to be a 1980s outreach program. The video became an instant internet sensation due to its awkward choreography, low-budget production, and the shocking inclusion of a racial slur during the lyrics. While the authenticity of the video remains a topic of debate—with many suspecting it is a high-effort parody—it has become a cornerstone of cringe culture. The meme is frequently used to satirize out-of-touch authority figures attempting to use 'cool' youth culture to deliver a message, or to highlight hilariously uncomfortable moments of forced relatability.
