Actually in this case, this was a martyrdom, so he was happy to die for sky daddy.
Yeah, this looks like artwork of saint Lawrence, who was basically grilled to death. I remember being told that partway through the execution, he reported told the executioners, “You should probably flip me over, I think I’m done on this side.” I strongly doubt this actually happened since the mythology around martyrs is typically heavily embellished to make them look like badasses.
It's a sick burn to his executioners' lack of skill, but I imagine the real quote is "AAAAHH AAAAHH IT BURNS IT BURNS!!"
Solid pun.
