The History of the World, Revised Revisited and Uncut--besides the "icky" parts

NOTE: There is an earlier version of this thread on the same forum. You will definitely find it if you put "Vicente" on the search field. Anyway, I've made a few changes because I don't want people to be confused about the main character and the eponymous forumite.
FLUSH!!!
Perhaps this is not the best way to introduce a story, but nevertheless, it is relevant. It begins with the Protagonist swirling about the threads of fate like an unused toilet paper down the W.C. As he tumbles down, as nauseated by the dynamics of his fall as perhaps you are by the imagery, he finally crashes upon a dark lair, perhaps a cave. His fall was broken by some soft, dirty material—which is definitely NOT what you think it is.
"'1 2 3 4 PUSH!!!' Okay, I said it. Is something supposed to happen now?"
The one known as Melvin the Melody Maker groped about the darkness as he uttered phrase of alleged magical properties. The cave was still hopelessly dark. The stirring of bats could be heard a short distance away. He began to curse his lot in life.
Suddenly, a bright light shone. From where, he did not know. He only knew it was better than the miserable darkeness he found himself in.
"Over here! I am over here!" he yelled.
"Yeah, yeah. Just shut up and get in the jeep," answered a voice.
"Who?" asked Melvin. "I can't really make you out." The brightness of what he now knew were headlights blinded him.
"It is I, Cephas--the Fisher of Man, the Feeder of Sheep, of the Twelve. I have come to rescue you."
Melvin noticed another shadow sitting beside the famed apostle. "Who is that?" he asked.
"Rei Ayanami," answered Cephas, called Simon Peter. "I have no idea who she is or what she's doing here.
Rei remained silent.
"Are you getting in the van or not?" asked Cephas.
"You mean the jeep," answered Melvin.
"Whatever. I'm not here to split hairs," said Cephas.
From a distance gazed a bright and uppity girl. An average person would think she was a just one of those crazy high school types. A manga fan would say she was Tomo Takino. But in reality, she was Beelzebub, prince(ss) of demons. The feminist movement would have me bludgeoned to death for saying a girl was the devil. As she gazed upon the passengers of St. Peter's (called Cephas) jeep, she summoned one of the hellish horrors attending her.
"Billy Mays!" stormed Beelzebub, "have you seen 'Waiting for Guffman?'"
"No, I have not," answered Billy Mays.
"It is a good mockumentary, I should say," grinned the Destroyer of Souls. "That Christopher Guest makes me grin," grinned the Prince of Darkness and L.A. traffic. "Grin grin grinny grin grin."
"If it makes you grin that much," said Larry King, "maybe I should rent it. Also, if you want spotless kitchen and bath surfaces, you should really try Orange—“
Before Billy could finish, Beelzebub punched him across the face and gave off a mighty laugh, the kind which one would hear after solving a 3d sudoku puzzle. Billy Mays, unpahsed, continued:
“By the way, I saw Melvin in a Jeep with St. Peter and some random anime chick. What do you want done with them?"
"Oh," said the Father(Mother?) of lies and California home prices, "I don't really give a hoot n’ holler. I'm sure some gangster will put a bullet in their collective head."
".....and that's how we know the earth is banana-shaped," said Melvin.
"Fascinating!" said Cephas. "Now if you would give an explanation why Rei never speaks, I think we'll be quite satisfied tonight!"
"I do speak!" said Rei, finally. "Don't you ever watch Neon Genesis Evangelion?"
"Who has time to watch that awful show?" said Cephas.
Rei frowned.
And so, the three of them drove into the night, into the emptiness of what Melvin believed to be the Mojave desert, until they reaced the end of this miserable post.
