    Let's all take a moment to remember Doug's mom. While many of us didn't know her that well, we know that Doug loved her, that Rob loved her, that her husband loved her, and that she will be remembered. Even if Doug himself doesn't see this, know that I am sorry for his loss, and that he has my condolences.

      I dunno. Both are abysmal, but if there’s anything good to say about Santa Inc., it’s that there was effort put into the stop-motion animation. No effort of any kind was put into this special, whereas Santa Inc. is terrible due to unnecessary and heavy-handed political pandering with awful humor

Soooo, either the storyboard director had a stroke and forgot the previous scene existed....or the Mayor secretly KNEW about Mrs. Mavilda's misappropriation crimes and just either didn't care or was complicit.
    Either way, this special blows hippo turds!!

    I just realized something, the beginning of the movie was the FIRST SIGN IT WAS GOING TO BE A BAD MOVIE because it broke the NUMBER 1 rule in storytelling, show, don’t tell. The narrator FLATOUT told us that Mrs. Mevillda is evil. He should’ve left that out and let us see this for ourselves. Like, let’s take an example from Marvel, in their storyline, Messiah Wars (which is one of their weakest storylines, in my opinion), there was ONE THING ABOUT CABLE, he was poor. The text boxes didn’t tell us nor Cable himself didn’t see it, instead we can conclude that because they show him doing things suggesting he is poor such as eating out of trash cans, not putting clothes on his adoptive infant daughter, Hope, and having to use old clothes as diapers. That evidence alone told us that he’s poor, Marvel didn’t have to tell us, instead they showed us. See? It would’ve worked better if we figured out Mevillda was evil ourselves.
    Also, I have a question, who was the intended target audience, it’s clearly not for kids because of the gambling and drinking scenes and Mrs. Mevillda having a hangover at some point. And it’s not for adults because it’s insulting to our intelligence. So, WHO IS THIS FOR EXACTLY?!
    Also, where’s Mr. Mevillda? Given she’s Mrs. Mevillda, this suggests that she’s married. So, where’s her husband? Well, given she’s evil, she likely killed him. Or he left her because who would want to be with a woman like her?
    Ugh, this movie is so terrible and has many MISSING PIECES.

    The Nutcracker review really gives this one a run for it’s money in terms of the effort Doug put into that to make it memorable but something about this is just a lot more, dare I say it, nostalgic.

Truly beautiful. Merry Christmas.

      LunaticThinker 10:10 Inebriated Klux Klansman 1: Hey fellow Klux Klanstrumps. I got a great idea! Let’s kill the NRA!
      Inebriated Klux Klansman 2: Yeah, I’m on board with that! How did you come up with this?
      Inebriated Klux Klansman 1: I got the idea from while I was watching the Christmas Tree, while burning a cross that had a tree and drinking 2 gallons of Bud Light. Anyone else who’s with me, go drink the Bud Light and watch the Christmas Tree!
      Inebriated Klux Klansmen: Yeah! Alright! Let’s go drink 2 gallons of Bud Light and burn down the NRA and Fox News while we watch the Christmas Tree!

    You know, a lot of the stuff critic reviews I'm like "I should watch this so I can decide my opinion for myself!" . . . Not this. . . never this.

    This video aired shortly after my first serious girlfriend broke up with me, and it really drove me down a dark path, but this video made me feel some happiness.

    Alternate ending: Mrs. Mavilda is assassinated by the Dark Brotherhood!
    Update: For those who don't get the joke, there's a cruel and abusive Orphanage owner in Elder Scrolls 5 (ironically named Grelod the Kind) and you're hired as an assassin of the Dark Brotherhood to murder her in her own orphanage!

      Fun story - I murdered her in front of the kids but not the other nord, and I totally got away with it. No bounty whatsoever.

    Just came back from Channel Awesome's website (to watch the Nostalgia Critic episode like I usually do on Tuesdays, then come back here on youtube to watch on Wednesdays because you guys give me so much joy) and omg I didn't expect to be cry like that... I had to come here and watch this episode in its entirety. I can't imagine what a loss like that must feel like but I wish your family well Doug during this Christmas season. Season's Greetings everyone!!

    No joke, I saw the actual DVD of this heinous special at Goodwill. Much later during my next visit there, I saw that it was gone. I feel sorry for the poor, lost soul who bought it.
