Review: Robot Chicken “Born Again Virgin Christmas Special”

 

 

Spoilers Below

HEAT MISER/SNOW MISER-

Two execs are talking about characters. Heat Miser is sold as a “Jew about heat, not about money.” Similarly, Snow Miser is billed as a “Jew about cold, not about money.” As the exec begins to describe Herbie from Rudolph, the phone rings and they are informed that the Aryan Brotherhood has just removed their ads from the upcoming special. This won’t deter these execs, however.

Score

6/10

EBENEZER SCROOGE-

The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come leaves Scrooge with his final warning. Scrooge awakens on Christmas morning and hits the town to tell the townspeople what he has learned. But instead of telling them of Christmas cheer and good will towards your fellow man, he tells them about ghosts. Motherfucking ghosts, to be exact.

Score

7.5/10

NORTH POLE JOB MARKET-

Four new elves are seated at a table in HR, about to watch a video explaining the process of working at the North Pole. They find out that lizard men who work underground and aren’t known to be friendly to elves harvest the raw materials used to make toys. They also find out that reindeer aren’t friendly to elves as well. As a matter of fact, mostly anything that isn’t an elf at the North Pole will kill an elf at a moments notice. They must identify these areas on a map and steer clear. Suddenly, Santa bursts into the room and begins to attack. Turns out this was all a part of a bigger HR video.

8/10

 

SANTA VS WW1-

Soldiers are huddled around a campfire on the Western Front circa 1914. They all talk about what they’d like Santa to bring them for Christmas. One wants smokes, another socks, and another still would like Santa to bust through the German defenses and end the war. There’s been a Christmas Truce with the Germans. Suddenly, Santa shows up to deliver Christmas presents. First up is Pvt. Doyle. Turns out he asked for Santa to kill the Germans. So Santa pulls out a tommy gun and begins to wreck heads. After the battle, Doyle tells Santa of the truce. Santa says that seems really inspiring. He then tosses another soldier a fresh pair of socks and that the end of the special!
