Bible Humpers: A Much Needed Praycation is the third episode of Season 3 of Clone High, and the 26th episode of the overall series.
Synopsis[]
While Scudworth develops a plan to convert Clone High into a religious school, JFK seeks absolution for his philandering lifestyle from the Prayer Pals. Plague with guilt after her tryst with Toussaint, Harriet turns to Joan - and the Lord - for advice.
Plot[]
Abe and JFK throw a huge party at JFK's House and everybody seems to be enjoying themselves except for JFK. Abe reminds JFK of their upcoming Boynniversary, marking their 6 months of friendship and gives him his Boynniversary present early, a Slut Bracelet, which goes with a Wing Slut Bracelet for himself. This still fails to cheer JFK up.
Principal Scudworth believes he'll never fund Cloney Island, until he gets the idea from The Prayer Pals to turn Clone High High School into a religious institution so that he doesn't have to pay taxes. Cleo and Frida overhear this and promise to help him, as long as he makes extra clones of them so that they don't have to do schoolwork anymore.
JFK tells Abe that he doesn't like having sex anymore and envies him for being a virgin. Lady Godiva, leader of The Prayer Pals, stands up and tells people about how she used to be a nudist slut before she got arrested and found God, and it's her goal to save other people who are going down a bad path. JFK joins the Prayer Pals so that he can be saved too.
Principal Scudworth and Mr. Butlertron go to Bed, Baptist, & Beyond to buy some Christian materials for Clone High. Candide Sampson finds out about this and is surprisingly on board with their idea, since she hates paying taxes, herself.
In gym class, Harriet still feels guilty about eye-cheating on Confucius. Joan stands beneath the bleachers and gives Harriet the advice to lie by omission to Confucius and never let him know. Topher comes up and tells Joan not to communicate with the normal people. Cleo and Frida, now under the influence of Christianity, tell Harriet that she doesn't need to take responsibility for her bad behavior if she does a token gesture of kindness to counteract it.
In Prayer Pals, Lady Godiva hears JFK's problem with sex addiction and tells him that if he converts to Christ and wears a purity ring, he will essentially "become a virgin again" by becoming a born again Christian. The Prayer Pals later go on to do good deeds and Harriet works her ass off, building homes for the homeless, cleaning oil off of orphans, and cleaning up litter on the highways, overcompensating for her adultery. Meanwhile, JFK has tons of fun with the Prayer Pals, but Abe is mad that the Prayer Pals are coming between him and JFK. Lady Godiva tells JFK that if he's serious about becoming a virgin again, he needs to become a full-blown Christian at their upcoming Celemony.
The Prayer Pals give soup to the homeless at We Got Soup and Harriet still feels guilty about cheating on Confucius. JFK tells her that all she needs to do to be forgiven is apologize to God. JFK also realizes that he's missing the Boyniversary. Abe sits around in the Boyniversary cake and gets pissed off with JFK's absence.
At the Celemony, JFK is about to be indoctrinated into the religion of Prayer Pals but then Abe interrupts and tells him to ditch this life of sexless religion and instead come back to being his perverted friend again, since he already lost his other friends, Joan when she tried to kill him and Gandhi when he got frozen in the flash freezer. Lady Godiva tells JFK that he can't be friends with Abe while also being in Prayer Pals, or else he'll go to Hell. JFK is torn apart by this ultimatum and runs off to the church to go pray.
A Religious Inspector comes down to Clone High to see if it's a legitimate religious organization. Scudworth and Candide went all out with Christ-ifying the school, much to her delight. She is pleased by all that she sees and officially approves the school for tax exemption.
JFK goes to the gymnasium, which has now been converted into a church, to pray to God, asking what to do. Abe climbs up onto the rafters and uses a flashlight to pretend to be God. He tells JFK to ditch Prayer Pals and go with Abe. JFK describes just how sad and unfulfilled he'll be with a secular sexual lifestyle. Abe realizes just how upset JFK is and he changes his mind. Harriet goes in next to confess to her sin of adultery, which Confucius overhears.
Lady Godiva makes a huge speech, announcing that Clone High has now become a religious institution and thanks Cleo and Frida for their help in spreading Christ. However, upon seeing everyone in the audience, staring at her, Lady Godiva loses herself and relapses into her streaking old ways. She runs naked through the parking lot and it is witnessed by the religious inspector. Angered, the religious inspector goes back into Principal Scudworth's office and revokes his tax-exemption. Scudworth decides to try this all over again, only this time, as a Hebrew school.
Abe goes to JFK's house to leave him an apology gift; a purity ring he stole from Prayer Pals for him to wear, helping him with his conversion to being a born again Christian. JFK is so happy to see his gift and goes back to being Abe's friend again.

Trivia[]
- As of this episode, the reboot has tied the original Clone High in longevity by episode count.
- Clone High High School has a religious club called "The Prayer Pals".
- Mr. Butlertron keeps opening the door to the principal's office because Scudworth keeps farting.
- It's revealed that Principal Scudworth has the ability to create full-grown clones of people.
- This could explain how he was able to make adult clones such as Mr. Sheepman, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Melvil Dewey as teachers as well as teenage clones such as Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Mother Teresa, Bob Ross , Joey Bishop, Michael Dukakis and Muammar Gaddafi.
Continuity[]
- Abe Lincoln and JFK celebrate their six-month "Boyniversary", with this episode taking place 6 months after they became friends in "Clone Alone".
- Lady Godiva streaks past a gas station, where the ghost of Doug Prepcourse from "Sleep of Faith: La Ru D'Awakening" is seen, filling up his truck.
- Abe later gets hit by this same truck.
- Harriet is still guilty about how she cheated in Confucius with Toussaint Louverture in "Blinded With Pseudoscience: Magnetic Distractions".
- Abe brings up how Gandhi vanished without a trace, making yet another callback to how he was left in the freezer in "Let's Try This Again".
- Abe also breaks the fourth wall to say that Gandhi's disappearance was similar to that show getting cancelled.
- JFK prays at the same church he prayed at when Ponce died in "Litter Kills: Litterally".
Cultural References[]
- Principal Scudworth called religion "the opiate of the masses", which is a direct quote from Karl Marx.
- Mr. Butlertron addresses Scudworth as "Wesley Snipes", when he considers avoiding paying taxes. This is a reference to how Wesley Snipes spent three years in prison for tax evasion from 2011-2013.
- Bed, Baptists, & Beyond is a parody on Bed, Bath, & Beyond.
- Confucius makes a bad painting of Pikachu.
Historical References[]
- The clone of Benjamin Franklin is shown flying a kite. This is a reference to how the original Benjamin Franklin famously discovered electricity by flying a kite during a thunderstorm.
- Jesús Cristo being in Prayer Pals is very appropriate for him, as he is the clone of Jesus Christ.
- Jesús is also shown building a house with wood, a nod to his clonefather's carpentry.
- JFK claims that at 17 years of age, he is considered middle-aged, measured on the scale of a Kennedy Lifespan. This is a joke on the Kennedy Curse and how various members of the Kennedy family died tragically at young ages.
- Lady Godiva having a past as a streaker is a reference to how the original Lady Godiva would famously ride around town on a horse, naked.
- Abe tells JFK that Betsy Ross wants to "run her flag up his flagpole".
- JFK accurately claims that the Kennedy Family is full of devout Catholics.
- Abe had Van Gogh paint a picture of him and JFK for their Boyniversary, and said painting is done in the style of the real Vincent Van Gogh.
