In a viral sensation sweeping social media, TikTok creator Jake Shane, known by his handle @octopusslover8, has captivated millions with his latest comedic sketch depicting the anachronistic challenge of 'paying the bill at the Last Supper.' Uploaded on March 3, 2023, the video has garnered an astounding 18.2 million views, 2.7 million likes, and nearly half a million shares, showcasing the creator's knack for relatable humor. The sketch features Shane, wearing clear-rimmed glasses and a grey 'PUSS UNIVERSITY' sweatshirt, seated at a wooden table, ostensibly at the Last Supper. He is seen holding a bill and a pen shaped like an octopus tentacle, addressing an unseen 'Jesus' with a mix of exasperation and respect. "It's like really annoying when you say that you're not going to order drinks because you can turn the water into wine, but then they ended up charging us for the wine anyway," Shane quips, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. He then proceeds to inquire, "Do you have Bible Pay?" proposing a unique payment solution for the biblical gathering. The video's success lies in its clever blend of historical context and modern-day frustrations, resonating deeply with an audience familiar with the awkwardness of splitting restaurant tabs. Viewers have flooded the comments section with praise, suggesting Shane's comedic talent belongs on platforms like SNL and proposing new historical scenarios for his unique interpretations. The skit, while lighthearted, offers a poignant reflection on the timeless nature of human-social dynamics, even across millennia.
