Humor & Life Quote by Rob Corddry

The line lands like a grenade tossed into America’s favorite comfort zone: the language of rebirth, scrubbed clean of its usual Christian warranty. “Born anew” is evangelical code, a phrase that normally arrives with testimony-polish and altar-call certainty. Rob Corddry hijacks it, keeps the emotional shape, and yanks out the institution. The joke isn’t just sacrilege-for-clicks; it’s a sharp little portrait of modern identity where reinvention is constant, personal, and oddly exhausting.

Corddry’s intent reads as comic deflation. He’s parodying the way spiritual metaphors get used as shortcuts for self-improvement, while also needling a culture that often assumes “renewal” has to be routed through Jesus to count. The punch is the add-on: “without Jesus.” It’s blunt, almost childish in its directness, and that’s the point. The rhythm mimics a confession, then swerves into a secular aside that punctures the expected piety. You can hear the audience laugh partly from surprise, partly from recognition: plenty of people live in the moral weather of Christianity without actually subscribing.

Subtext-wise, it’s an update to the old American self-made myth. In a gig economy of the soul, you’re perpetually beta-testing yourself, waking up as yesterday’s version already obsolete. “Every day” turns rebirth into routine, which makes the sacred feel like a product feature you can toggle off. Corddry’s comedic persona thrives on that friction: reverent phrasing weaponized to admit, with a grin, that meaning-making now often happens outside the church.
