eh?


Those Christmas wish bits that Paul was doing? They used to play those every Christmas. A guy would come on, and read a letter from some kid who wanted something they coulden't afford. A lot of them were for familys that needed new refridgerators, or a heart dialysis machine or whatever. But I remember a few that would go "Dear Christmas Wish (or whatever it was actually called, I forget.), my grandma has cancer. Could you send me a Super Nintendo so I can play it with her."
I always found those a little suspicious.

*edit* Aaannd Graham beat me to it. Damn my not reading the entire thread...

The man has a point.

Was that intentional or just a mis-spelling of Tannenbaum?

Regardless, this holiday rapidfire was exceptional, as usual.

Yup. Misspelled Tannenbaum.

Trust me not to check the spelling for the German word.

Jer wasn't always looking at the camera. You can sort of see his eyes shift to the side a little bit. By the way, this was sort of like the LRRumble of Christmas specials.

Damn greedy Ontario kids...

And the triumphant return of Yummies! I have to ask, are those a REAL snack? Or do you guys just use Twinkies?

I know that. I asked because I was wondering. Seriously. I don't know. How is it it spelled?

Skeptical, yes. You are correct. If you were wrong, I'd've yelled at you for trying to correct someone, and still being wrong.

What was the best part of the video overall? I think I may have to go with the "Summoning of the Reindeer" bit. It is just so retarded, but it works SOOOOOOOOO well in context.

Paul, I think you should reconsider the 'Cancun' decision. Its hardly a real look at Mexico - why not try a Tijuanna slum and save on 1/2 the cost?

The Yummies™ LRR uses are repackaged off-brand Twinkies®. From info gleaned in the DVD commentaries, they taste AWFUL.

I believe either Jer or Morgan came up with the name Yummiesâ„¢ as well as the three main flavours while writing the rap in one of their advertisements.

That's awesome!

I just googled 'christmas lights'. The one I used is actually from 2005, but the big "2005" in lights is obscured by Jer's head.

We've never actually *seen* GW, so they could do something like make the lead of GW Matt with a mask on. Really, just give them all masks and they can be like Lordi

All the parts dealing with the Attack of the Yuletide Terrorists were hilarious. Summoning the reindeer with the candy canes was great but my favorite line was "Santa, get behind me and watch out for the sharks! Die you zombie bastards!" I had to pause the video I was laughing so hard.

A mish-mash for christmas is the best.

Has anyone else noticed that in "summoning of the reindeers" one coloured line in the candy canes seem to have the same colour as the blue/green screen behind them? Since you can see that background "in" the candy canes? Still, best part of the video :D

Yeah, I knew the green would key out in that shot, but I figure "Attack of the Yuletide Terrorists" is a pretty shitty movie.

I also have to say between the two CSI spoofs, the one in this video has the most Grissom-y line of all.

"Looks like he had more than sugar plums dancing through his head.

BAAAAA, BA DAAAAA....
