The Christmas Experiment 2013 Hours 21+22: Random Christmas Stuff

Time for some more Christmas Specials.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Yep. The good one. Let's list off the reasons this rocks.
  1. Chuck Jones and Boris Carloff come together.
  2. There is no reason the Grinch really hates Christmas. It's just something he does.
  3. It feels like someone animated the book and added Christmas.
  4. Mr. Grinch is a nearly perfect song. For that matter, so is most of the music.
  5. There are really only three characters and that's all the plot needs.
  6. There really is an innocence to the special. There is a commercialization message to it is there but it's not overstated and doesn't defeat it's own purpose.
  7. Is the ending sentimental? Yes, but it is totally earned.
SNL: It's a Wonderful Life Lost Ending: See, if everyone went to beat up Mr. Potter, it would be a better movie. It would have been more satisfying for that matter.

Happy Endings, "No-Ho-Ho": The episode where Jane has a Christmas birthday. Max is awesome, the nog totally looks like something else, Christmas-anity.

Pokemon, Holiday Hi-Jynx: Woo, slight racism. Jynx is a pokemon... who looks like a black stereotype. She works for Santa Claus who keeps pictures of him in his boots. Well, she doesn't so much work for Santa as she's part of a labor force of Jinx's that do all of Santa's labor force.The pokemon. That looks like a racial stereotype. Do Santa's unpaid labor. Yeah, that's pretty dang racist there. It makes no sense but whatever. Ash saves Santa Claus. That's pretty much it.

The Looney Tunes Show, "A Christmas Carol": I haven't watched a version of a Christmas Carol this season. During an incredibly terrible heatwave, Lola Bunny saves Christmas by doing the worst production of a Christmas Carol ever. It's super-adorable, funny, and has genuine moments of the Christmas Spirit.

Non-Viewing Thoughts: If I had three ghosts to visit me, trying to teach me the spirit of Christmas, I'd ask them why they're wasting time on me when there are some downright evil people out there  compared to me.

Late Christmas Ideas: The ability to appreciate egg nog. Seriously, I don't like the taste of it all. At all. I feel like I'm missing out on part of Christmas.

Tally:
Mountain Dews left: 9
Amps left: 2
Cups of Coffee Drunk: 1
Pumpkin Pie Left: 1/3rd left.
Sanity Rating: (1 being the most random collection of things compiled together, 10 being finding the hidden meaning within that leads to the vast Illuminati conspiracy):6Hey Prof.
