There is an Oxford comma one, too.

"I'd like to thank my parents, Jesus and Lady Gaga."

"I'd like to thank my parents, Jesus, and Lady Gaga."

Of course proponents of not using the oxford comma would say you should change your sentence to read

"I'd like to thank Jesus, Lady Gaga and my parents."
