Boombie’s having a great time doing tricks with his yo-yo (like “Walking The Dog” and “Around The World” and “Up The Little Tramp’s Ass”) until that mealy-mouthed baby-loser Queenie Klink reminds him that he’s actually breaking his own law. Boombie, fearing that he’s just been “bambuzzled” orders Kris be arrested for realsies this time, but Kris makes a run for it (with his loyal dumbass sidekick, Topper) through the middle of the soldiers and his giant sack knocks them all down…
…one of the negative effects of “Dont Ask, Don’t Tell” is that no one wants to be seen as “too graceful”…
It turns out that all those animal-lessons paid off, because as he’s escaping up the trees over the roofs and down the walls, Boombie’s noticing how Kris “climbs like a sqvirrel, leaps like a deer, and is a slippervy as a seal” and orders the SSW boys to get up off their pansy asses and capture him! Ahh, but Kris makes it into the forest before the soldiers can catch up. They take one look and declare that amongst all that white snow they’ll never find a guy in a bright red suit with a loud-ass honking penguin, so they turn around and go home. Lazy motherfuckers.
Meanwhile, Kris and Topper The ‘Tard have slowed down to catch their breath and figure out where they are…
…too bad penguins can’t read…
But Kris can, and immediately after he realizes they are on DubDub’s turf, one of the trees comes to life and grabs him and Topper! Then DubDub magically appears (to the tune of “Dark Lady”!) and says that now that he’s captured Kris he’ll never get away…. and does he believe in life after love? Mwuhahahahahaha! Fade to black.
After 34 commercials telling us to buy stuff (and one hilarious ad for credit counseling and promises to get you out of debt) we come back to Kris trying to talk DubDub into getting the tree to let him go so he can give him something…
…like maybe a facial?…
It’s no secret, all that heavy drag makeup is hell on your pores. Anyhow, Kris says he’s saved back one special toy that he wants to give to DubDub, but he needs to call off the Terror Trees first. DubDub is so touched that anyone would want to give a mean old drag queen warlock a toy that he immediately complies. Then Kris hands DubDub…
…a total piece of shit…
Kidding! Naturally DubDub has always wanted to have his very own choo-choo train! Because having teleportation powers and Terror Trees as pets just isn’t the same thing as having a hunk of cheaply painted wood that barely rolls on linoleum, let alone snow. He actually kisses the train (ohhhhhh-kaaaaaay?) and then starts to cry, which tells me he needs to up the dosage on his Lexapro. Suddenly, his cold hard exterior flushes away in a cascade of tears… his icy heart has melted! Also, it looks like he’s lost about 75 pounds (and 2 feet of height)! Whoa, you mean crying is all it takes to lose weight?!?? I am forced to see my fat ass in the mirror every damned day, it brings on hysterics and depression, why don’t I look like Karen Carpenter yet? This is pissing me off. Wait, what are we talking about again?
If you like it, spread it!:

YAY! JMo, you are my recap hero, I am so, so excited to see your name linked to a recap before Christmas! Waiting until Shear Genius seems like forever!!! Okay, now to actually read it
J-Mo;
Great job on dirtying up a kiddie favorite – I LOVE IT!! You are just hysterical!
Instead of Kris, I think they should have named him Pringle Kringle, but then he’d probably have gone out and made his fortune making potato crisps instead of toys. And this story would have been way different. And probably wouldn’t have been told, ‘cuz after all, what do spuds have to to with the Sweet Baby Jesus?
Anyway, it was a very enjoyable recap of a shitty special that just don’t hold a candle to RUDOLF (ok, or Charlie Brown).
Waiting patiently for Shear Genius! More hedge-clipper haircuts!
Lots O’ Love
PS – Loved the Bukakke Christmas Angel pic at the end! So nasty, but fucking hilarious!!
I was laughing non-stop! This made my workday MUCH more bearable! Thank you!
You are a RIOT!
Happy Holidays!
Ah, J-Mo, I can’t stop laughing and I’m only on page 1 of your mega-opus here but I have to work so I’ll have to hold off til later.
But I remember well the days of no-remote-controls and being held hostage by all those insanely insipid christmas specials (all of which were created by jews, of course) each year until, between the shows and those incessant nattering carols terrorizing the radio airwaves and the supermarket aisles, all I could do was wish that their fucking santa would catch fire in their goddamn fireplaces and burn the whole fucking lot of ‘em to the ground.
But I digress…. ;-D
Oh, J-Mo, you are too much. Thank you for all the laughs this year (especially today…am I the only sucker working or what?). Hope you and yours have a great holiday. And, yes, thankfully, you are very twisted…
A recap from J-Mo… BEST.PRESENT.EVAH!
Was your non-remote TV black and white? Cuz njgasmifan’s Dad refused to buy a color set till I think the 80′s. The Yule Log was especially pitiful in b&w….
Ah, the good ol days of robotic animation,cheesey stories and Burl Ives Christmas carols at the holidays. I alternate between a tear in my eye and feeling like Itchy when I remember those days.
Bluzgirl, fear not – you are not alone today
J-Mo – truly you are my hero. Thanks for the holiday ha ha ha’s. Sending big big hugs to you, BF, M-Mo and all. xoxo
No Bluzgirl – you are not alone!
J-mo – I think we had the same childhood except I was a chubby girl & how I loved these Xmas specials!! But even then I remember hating the songs in this one – especially that Toymaker to the King crap – just awful!! I tried to watch this special as an adult a couple times & my mind just wandered after the 1st 20 minutes so thanks for sticking with the whole thing. I laughed so hard at your missing Kringles – Mingle & Single.
Oh, & btw – I LOVED my Lite Brite back in the day! I kind of wish I still had one.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Your screencap
“…and the ritual of cyclic Precious-like abuse begins…”
also made me LMAO
J-Mo, thanks for taking another childhood memory and twisting it beyond all recognition. Actually after reading this I think we should point out that Santa Claus is the only man in the world who’s work clothes are a red velvet suit, who isn’t a pimp. Which is good because if you really wanted to twist Christmas having Santa suddlenly start saying things like “get in the sled!” and “my elf better have my money.” would be way way worse then somebody who likes to dress up like Cher.
Oh and on 70 TV’s at my house not only did you have to get up to change it, but when the knob broke and you had to use needle nose pliers? Good times my friends. Merry Christmas buddy!
Oh, wow, J-Mo. I’ve always been a bit creeped out by those claymation critters, but now … I see things in a whole new and disturbing light! I’d love to see your recap of Ruddy the Red Nosed Reindeer.
Loved your screencaps, BTW. This was an absolutely perfect recap. Thank you for so many laughs this year!
@waffleboy – we used the needle nose pliers, too! Thanks for the flashback!
LMAO J-Mo!! Where were you when my brother and I were forced to watch this total shit when we were kids? I hope the cretins that came up with this kid-torturing crap went to claymation hell where they have to listen to that horrible music for all eternity. The only thing missing from your hilarious recap is my dad saying “one of you kids get up and adjust the tin foil.” Back then you had to adjust the tin foil on the antennae every time you changed the channel. LOL
Oh my god! I loved HR Pufnstuf and Sigmund as a kid!! Maybe my mom did acid when she was pregnant with me!
Thanks for a hilarious take on what has always been a weird Christmas classic (for me at least)! Maybe next year you can recap The Year Without A Santa Claus – I’d love to hear your thoughts on Heat Meiser, Snow Meiser, and their mommy issues!
Love you lots! Hope you, your BF and your bulimic cat have a wonderful holiday!
SWAK, PottyMouth
If they remade this nowadays, the stupid animals would talk, Winter Warlock would be spelled ‘Wynter’, Queenie Klink would be considered doubly ‘racist’, Tante (Aunt, BTW) Kringle would lose all her accent and become a new version – ala Betty Crocker, the plotline would be more complex than the Matrix, and the songs would still suck.
BTW, nice tie-in w/Dirty Bear – and yes! KK DOES look like DB.
I always thought it was creepy how he’d watch the little ones sleeping at night. Ew!
The real metaphor for anti-gay sentiments is Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (although still a fav of mine!). All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, they wouldn’t play with him…even Santa hated him and wanted his “nose”/gayness covered up by Donner. But then they all LOVED him when he could do something to help them…who knew Santa was a homophobe?
Another great recap – especially the “tie in with Jesus” and all the references to our 70s childhoods! Hilarious!
…and probably turgid and throbbing as well…
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Sooooo after the fact, but I knew this would be magically delicious . . .
I, for one, was not the jaded gasmi I am today!!! I loved all these “puppet” specials, and all the xmas bukkake, I mean, bull crappy . . . I swear, I once heard the reindeers land on my roof . . . sigh . . . ya gotta wonder what happened, eh!
J-mo, HEARTS AND FLOWERS ALWAYS!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This killed me the whole read. I was dying with laughter. These old movies are my favorite at Christmas, partially because of how easy it is to let my dark and twisted mind have fun. Nicely done.
And that picture at the end nearly made me fall of my seat laughing so hard.
BWAHAHAHAHA at the Bukkake Angel. BWAHAHHAHA!!
Thanks J-Mo for a hilarious recap of this old childhood staple. I never realized how downright weird these specials were when I was a kid, but now they crack me up even before your recapping – I hope you do “The Year Without a Santa Claus” next year – the final moment when Mickey Rooney screams “I dreamed unhappy things!” is so hysterical every time.
The only really witty moment in this one though (the show, not your recap, which was witty throughout) was when the reindeer were introduced – the narrator says “and of course, the most famous reindeer of all” and we get a shot of Rudolph looking all eager for his story to be told, but then the narrator says “but that’s another story” and we leave Rudolph where he is. That is the only thing that is intentionally funny to me in the show watching it as an adult.
