Here's a couple of exchanges that happened with my students. Turns out several did not know who Cthulhu was.
"Mr. Baird, who's Cthulhu? Is he like Jesus?"
"Yes, Cthulhu is exactly like Jesus. His holy text is the Necronomicon. People call it the Greatest Story Ever Told. You should ask your history teacher about the impact Cthulhu has had on western civilization."
"...Okay."
The next day:
"Mr. Baird, didn't Cthulhu teach Jesus to walk on water?"
"Not exactly. When Jesus stepped on water, he was walking on Cthulhu's tentacles. The Big C was always willing to lend Jesus a hand."
In on the joke were several students who knew what Cthulhu was and the world history teacher, who told them that Cthulhu was a major influential religious figure in tandem with Jesus.
