What does it mean that Jesus' yolk is light?

The teaching that Jesus' yolks are light and fluffy comes from a misinterpretation of a story on the Veggie Tales' episode Lyle the Kindly Viking, released in 2001. The theme of the video is how sharing pleases God, and the titular story is the account of a young Viking (played by Junior Asparagus) who rejects his townsmen's pride of being "the terrors of the sea" and instead provides a victim (played by Pa Grape) with his own portion of the loot as well as a set of handmade pot holders. When faced with the error of their ways, the other Vikings repent of their lives of stealing and enthusiastically embrace new identities as the "sharers of the sea."

The first vignette, however, is a sketch called "Omelet." In it, two servants (played by Jean Claude and Phillipe) are ordered by Prince Omelet (played by Jimmy Gourd) to tell the cook to make a meal out of the last three eggs in the kingdom. Baker Horatio (played by Scooter Carrot) presents three eggs, "light and fluffy" to the prince.

As Prince Omelet is about to eat, Ophelia (played by Mr. Lunt) enters, convicting Omelet of his selfishness in eating eggs every day while the people starve. After sharing his "light and fluffy" eggs with a boy, Omelet realizes that sharing is more enjoyable than hoarding food to himself. He declares to the townspeople that, henceforth, he will share his eggs. After a short discussion about the dearth of eggs in the town, the villagers realize that the round white orbs that come out of chickens are not, indeed, ping pong balls, but are, in fact, eggs.

Besides the unbiblical practice of forcing a male gourd to dress as a woman (Deuteronomy 22:5) and the rank butchery of a Shakespearean play, the video is a good lesson for children on the virtues of sharing. Indeed, Prince Omelet finds that sharing his light and fluffy yolks is no more burdensome Jesus' easy yoke and light burden.
