Nobody's perfect. Well, there was this one guy, but we killed him....

The line uses dark, comic understatement to juxtapose a commonplace reassurance (“Nobody’s perfect”) with a blunt allusion to Jesus as the singular “perfect” person—followed by the mordant punchline that humanity responded by killing him. The humor depends on shock and compression: a familiar cliché is reframed as an indictment of human intolerance toward moral or spiritual perfection. In Moore’s typical satirical mode, the joke also critiques how societies (and institutions) can punish those who challenge norms, even when they embody ideals the culture claims to revere. The ellipsis heightens timing, letting the moral sting land after the laugh.
