Intertexuality in "That 70's Show"

“That 70’s Show” uses intertexuality in almost every episode. In this particular episode they reference the Last Supper. The setting is the cafeteria, a long table with everyone facing one direction. Eric, Dona, and Fez are sitting at the table and Hide and Kelso come and join them. When they sit down they ask Eric if he is going to partake in their streaking shenanigan. Eric says that he is going to do it and then he states a warning: “Look, we must keep this quiet, if my father finds out he will nail me to the wall.” Mystical music and lights then appear and everyone strikes a pose and the show goes to a commercial break. Eric refers to Red and “my father” just how Jesus would refer to God as his Father. Also Eric says that if he streaks he will get in trouble for it and he will be “nailed to the wall.” Jesus Father nailed to the cross because he was accused of blasphemy (really to save us from our sins). However, Eric will not really be crucified by Red like Jesus was.
