rob morrisonovertime’s weirdest 80’s christmas special weekend ever! written by geoffrey on 12/23/06
tired of the same dumb old traditions and the same dumb old family? well, curl up by an atomic blast and celebrate the holidays with your new family: a shitload of wookies and your pals at overtime comedy. that’s right — we’re your family now!
no christmas special is complete without the cbs “special presentation” opener.
is the star wars holiday special as horrific as everyone says it is? you decide. is carrie fisher stoned out of her mind while singing? again, we’ll let you decide. but we’ll decide for you that she must have been high.
fozzie’s mom says, “[the muppets] are weirdos, but they’re nice weirdos.” weirdos? this coming from a talking puppet bear? still, in spite of this glaring contradiction, a muppet family christmas is probably one of the best, and least known, muppet movies.
here’s sctv taking holiday potshots at elton john & liberace, but the best part is john candy doing orson welles. if that’s not a christmas gift, then i don’t know what is! i want the new zelda game. don’t read the crossed out part. mom: get me that zelda game.
for those of you who think christmas is “da bomb,” or want to see this special end with “a bang” — i want you people out of my house, or i’m calling the cops. here’s the weird al classic, “christmas at ground zero.”
from everyone at overtime comedy, have a very happy holiday!*
*no joke. we mean it.
