Yeah the Rudolph elf meme is funny, but are we really forgetting about all the other great and bizarre Christmas specials moments, like when Rankin/Bass beat DreamWorks to the idea of “Hot Jack Frost” by more than 30 years?
How about when they made a Nativity fanfic with a misfit donkey and a baby angel?
That Santa Claus started off giving toys exclusively to depressed World War I-era German children? (Did I mention he was a ginger)
We also shouldn’t gloss over the time when Rudolph teamed up with a caveman, a knight and goddamn Benjamin Franklin not to walk into a bar but to save the Baby New Year.
Really, Rudolph could fill up this entire list all by himself, considering that he also teamed up with Frosty the Snowman one time to fight thiswintery motherfucker
WHO HAS GIANT ICE DRAGONS TAKE THAT NIGHT KING
And is one of the five or six clowns who are supposed to be running winter in this universe (they were not very creative when it came to making up bad guys apparently)
And later dies in the most HORRIFYING WAY POSSIBLE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT SHOW THIS MOVIE TO CHILDREN AGE FIVE AND UNDER
Oh, and by the way, Rudolph is also Reindeer Jesus. Look it up.
Confirmed: God is a woman.
When I was in college, my friends and I had a private joke about The Year Without A Santa Claus.
The plot, to wit, goes something like this:
Santa just Isn’t Feeling It this year because he has a cold, so he decides not to deliver any presents. So Mrs. Claus teams up with a couple of elves and a bunch of pagan deities (no really Mother Fucking Nature is in this show), to prove people still believe in Santa, because one of the reindeer has been sent to the dog pound.
The way they choose to accomplish all of this is by making it snow somewhere in the southern US. Somehow, this leads to the release of the reindeer, Santa agreeing to deliver presents, and everybody believing in Santa Claus.
