Oh shiat... I'm watching that right now... Get. Out. Of. My. TV.

atlfarkette		2006-12-21 08:28:29 PM

Ya know I always thought that too.

Dom Roark		2006-12-21 08:29:01 PM

My favorite is when he gets all crabby about listening to the elves practice their singing.

silgryphon		2006-12-21 08:29:51 PM

Yeah really they weren't THAT bad

SpinnyNuNu		2006-12-21 08:33:02 PM

Makes me not wanna leave out the cookies and milk this year. He doesn't deserve them.

Ooshatielf		2006-12-21 08:33:03 PM

He really is.

woodpecker from mars		2006-12-21 08:34:37 PM

Not only is Santa an ass, but Rudolph's father is, too. And all the other reindeer as well. It was like, well gee Rudolph, you sure do look funny. What a loser you are! And then they are all like, "Whoa, Rudolph's nose can actually benefit us somehow? Oh, we like you NOW, Rudolph!"

Rudolph was a farking pussy. He should have turned around and told Santa and the rest of those creeps to go fark themselves.

peachy92		2006-12-21 08:35:26 PM

Do you blame him? Once a year, he's got reindeer ass in his face for 24-hours! I'd be cranky about that!

ThatWomanFromMassachusetts		2006-12-21 08:35:30 PM

I just came here to post a thread saying the exact same thing. Jeez. What a jerk.

/and is anyone else creeped out by the fact that Rudolph talks like a ten-year-old, but Clarice has a fully mature adult voice?

peachy92		2006-12-21 08:36:01 PM

woodpecker from mars: Not only is Santa an ass, but Rudolph's father is, too

It's the alpha male aggression.

Dom Roark		2006-12-21 08:36:23 PM

Oh my God my very favorite part of the movie is when Comet's eyes go all squirrely when he sees the nose for the first time.

SmashLimousines		2006-12-21 08:38:27 PM

That story completely distorts the story of the historical Rudolph.

brap		2006-12-21 08:42:57 PM

Notice? I tapped that shiate 2 Live Crew style. But I waited for last scene because it's true and I can't deny, nobody loves a skinny Santa.

Chariset		2006-12-21 08:46:01 PM

I always wondered what was supposed to be wrong with the doll on the Island of Misfit Toys

pilto		2006-12-21 08:46:18 PM

i have always been disapointed with how they never give any scientific explanation for why the hell rudolphs crazy nose is glowing.

can you imagine that thing during hunting season? no wonder all the other deer stayed the hell away from him.

ms_semicolon		2006-12-21 08:47:51 PM

Santa: Your parents and your girlfriend have been gone for months, looking for you, and I'm very worried. Why, Christmas is only two days away, and without your father, I'll never be able to get my sleigh in the air!

Jeez. What an asshat.

dewars-rocks		2006-12-21 08:49:59 PM

She likes girl dolls a little too much. Things were pretty uptight back in those days.

It's business, baby... just bitnez

ThatWomanFromMassachusetts: Clarice

Yeah, it would be better if Rudolph sounded like Hannibal Lecter.

bdub77		2006-12-21 08:52:22 PM

It's a tumor. Sad really, brain cancer at such a young age. That's why there's no update when Rudolph became an older reindeer. He died young.

GrahamManning		2006-12-21 08:53:49 PM

Chariset: I always wondered what was supposed to be wrong with the doll on the Island of Misfit Toys

They accidentally sewed up her hooha. She was supposed to be an anatomically correct doll. I don't know why Yukon Cornelius didn't just bust a cap in that snow monsters ass. He was strapped.

silgryphon		2006-12-21 09:02:26 PM

That little elf has future as a serial killer after yanking out snow monsters teeth. Damn that was morbid

Byn		2006-12-21 09:06:21 PM

My favourite part is when Rudolph's mom wants to go help look for him, but Rudolph's dad says, "No! You stay here. This is man's work!"

Kills me everytime they forget to edit it out.

peachy92		2006-12-21 09:12:19 PM

This conversation is now green.

Original_Aeryn		2006-12-21 09:12:20 PM

Maybe it's because santa really is an ass. I'm still waiting for my damn pony.

pilto		2006-12-21 09:13:27 PM

holy crap we just went public!

Egregious Philbin		2006-12-21 09:13:48 PM

SANTA
SATNA
SATAN

COME ON FOLKS!!!! ITS IN REVELATIONS!!!!

JerseyTim		2006-12-21 09:14:23 PM

Of course, I noticed. That's why I made this video about the subject. Enjoy!

He encourages discrimination, uses people and treats his wife like crap.

thewholeshowecw		2006-12-21 09:14:57 PM

At the end while on the Island of Misfit Toys he might as well be saying "Alright, lets get the crap out of the way."

Flan		2006-12-21 09:15:14 PM

I wish I could watch it and comment along with you all, but unfortunately, I have it on DVD, and my two year old's new favorite phrase is, "Daddy? Watch Rudolph please?" Once it's over, I get, "Rudolph again? Daddy, please?"

She's in bed now. No mas Rudolph tonight.

But yes, Santa is a self-absorbed asshole in this. "The King Of Jing-a-ling". Hoo Hoo. I invented Christmas. Go fark yourself, you 363-day a year slacker.

SomeBrunette		2006-12-21 09:15:49 PM

I like how Hermie the Elf sounds like he's sucked on helium throughout the show and at the end he sings "Holly Jolly Christmas" with the deep voice of Burl Ives.

skinink		2006-12-21 09:17:58 PM

What do you expect from a guy who not only uses slave labor because everyone is cool with it, as long as they get a gift; but Santa keeps his labor in the North Pole, where it's impossible to escape from unless you have flying deer!

Think about this when you get that PS3 for Christmas. An imprisoned elf helped Santa get it for you.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener		2006-12-21 09:18:35 PM

Whoever heard of a Charlie-in-the-Box? :-/

Christi		2006-12-21 09:19:41 PM

Totally. You know what else bugs me? On Frosty the Snowman, Frosty and Santa leave Karen standing on the roof when they drop her off at home. She can't be expected to climb down the chimney for crying out loud!

Nakito		2006-12-21 09:19:53 PM

Original_Aeryn: I'm still waiting for my damn pony.

Not yours.

Flan		2006-12-21 09:20:40 PM

And how is it that, when Rudolph's a li'l pup, the Abominable Snowman is taller than a mountain, but once Yukon tames him and brings him to she shop, he's only, say, 14 feet tall?

And I'll say this now, DO NOT watch "Rudolph and The Island Of Misfit Toys."

From what I've seen of it, it's a CGI crapfest, but for some weird reason, every time I turn it on, I see Hermie dressed like a giant molar, flying a blimp, and the bumble is wearing a pink tu-tu.

Trippy.

FarkingZionist		2006-12-21 09:21:45 PM

I never understood that program. I always thought the romance was cute with the little girl reindeer, but everyone else was casually vicious to Rudolph.

Really, why did he do anything to help Santa? He should have said, "After the way you've treated me? How you drove me out of town? Go fark yourself!"

One Thirty-two and Bush		2006-12-21 09:22:01 PM

Did I miss something? Yukon Cornelius falls off the cliff with the monster and everybody gets sad. Then he's in at Santa's house two scenes later without explanation.

Chariset		2006-12-21 09:22:21 PM

I...uh.... alwaysdislikeditthatthegirlreindeernevergottopullsanta'ssleigh...

fullmoon_werewolf		2006-12-21 09:22:32 PM

totally noticed this when watching it on tv tonight... surprised i didnt see it earlier...

/what an asshat

itsfullofstars		2006-12-21 09:23:01 PM

I'm reminded of a recent Antiques Roadshow www.pbs.org

Some of the original puppets used to make Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer. Now owned by a nephew of a women who worked for Rankin/Bass. Estimated to fetch $8k-$10k. that would be a cool thing to have in your curio cabinet.

She also had Yukon Cornelius and Hermey the dentist elf.

Flan		2006-12-21 09:23:06 PM

Christi: On Frosty the Snowman, Frosty and Santa leave Karen standing on the roof when they drop her off at home.

Gah! That's my kid's other favorite DVD right now. But you know, the parents probably don't care that their kid's on the roof in the middle of the night. They sent their 8 year old to school in a miniskirt, then Frosty throws her in a refrigerated train car and takes her to the North Pole.

No accountability from those most capable of making decisions on these shows, I'll tell ya...

JerseyTim		2006-12-21 09:23:49 PM

Santa is a huge jerk in Twas the Night Before Christmas, too.

One smarty-pants mouse writes the guy a letter telling him no one believes in him and Santa punishes the whole town. Not only is he skipping the whole town on Christmas because of that one letter, he sends everyone else their letters back unopened. That is a huge jerk move.

What's then great is that the town clockmaker gets an idea to please Santa and get him to come back: building a giant clock in his honor. That would be like the local shoesmith saying they should make a giant shoe or the baker saying they should build a four-story cake.

Then, they totally guilt trip the mouse who wrote the letter. The whole thing is basiclly about how you should believe in things you know aren't true because it makes everyone feel good.

Cause 'bumbles bounce.

The explanation was that "Bumbles Bounce!"

kenbob		2006-12-21 09:25:13 PM

Santa.....Satan? Gotta be a bad ass

Oh I don't know about that. You could always put arsenic in them.

Hollaback		2006-12-21 09:26:37 PM

I never understood why the abominable snowman didn't rip Yukon Cornelius and the sissy elf to shreds after the impromptu tooth removal. That mofo still had claws!

/bumble?
