"Let’s ostracize the freak". A new look at the classic holiday cartoons


Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
  • The moral of the story is that you will be treated liked crap until someone needs something from you.
  • "Let’s ostracize the freak".  Santa about Rudolph.  Or the Dentist Elf.   Probably.
  • I don’t think Women’s lib made it to the North Pole as Ol Donner says to his wife “Stay home, this is Man’s work”. 


Santa Claus is Coming to Town
  • I am not sure of the laws of Somber-Town, but at the opening of the show the Mailman basically opens up every letter and reads them.  Isn’t that mail fraud

Twas the Night Before Christmas:
  • Evidently Santa gets one letter then bans and condemns an entire city.  A little thinned skin don’t ya think Santa?
  • Correct me if I am wrong, but Father Mouse says to his son, and I am paraphrasing here  – “See what you did by having your own opinion”
  • After Santa decides to grace the town with his presence after receiving offerings of gold (and clocks), he goes down a chimney and smokes his pipe while putting presents in the stockings,  thus exposing the entire family to second hand smoke and causing cancer in the entire family probably.
  • And probably the most absurd is the government giving the clockmaker the go-ahead to make the clock but provides no funding whatsoever.

The Year without a Santa Clause
  • Maybe the most unbelievable aspect of this show isn’t that Santa Claus exists.  Or that Reindeer fly.  It’s that the Mayor of is able to get all the Mayors across the US and across party lines to agree on something.
  • “What’s your name sir”.  Uh. Uh Uh Clawwwws…  Yeah Santa, nice undercover work.  They’ll never guess who you really are.
  • Anyone else notice that Santa calls Mrs. Claus “Ma” – yet they have no kids?
  • Speaking of the Mrs.  Way to throw Jingle and Jangle under the bus by saying that going into the world was their idea.  Manipulative B***h
