A hilarious online video mixed together two unlikely ingredients in an infomercial-parody comic gig; wooden cross, Christianity symbolic emblem, and a fitness workout method called cross fit.
Created by YouTube video channel the Kloons, the infomercial for “CROSS FIt” is introduced by a slim-fit man who looks like Jesus Christ.
The video uses Christianity-specific religious notions into promoting the imaginary workout aid, transfixing Christians in either jocular agreement or sacrilegious awe.
The host explains in the video his biggest burden ― bearing the wooden cross and nailed to it as depicted in the bible ― was the biggest opportunity (obviously to burn fat).
Made with 100 percent Mahogany Holy Cross, CROSS FIt can be strapped to users’ back as they do creative exercises like cross walk, cross press, resurrection, exorcism and dead lift.
The comedy ends with a final pitch that CROSS FIt is as affordable as 10 percent of the annual income of hopeful buyers.
