Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer - Nostalgia Critic

[@galacticcactus5530]

Wait, grandma was gone for almost a year....yet, during the court case, the boy presents one of grandma's fruitcakes as evidence...HOW OLD WAS THAT FUCKING CAKE?!

[@sean.furlong1989]

Fruitcakes are traditionally packed with alcohol which acts as a preservative.

[@mach6247]

Sean Furlong Huh. Ya don't say.

[@nickcopeland6915]

I watched the special. That cake was a new one they baked before going to court.

[@ethanciotti554]

Man, has ANYONE ever actually eaten fruitcake during Christmas?

[@HeroofWind]

+Ethan Ciotti in the video, they said that you can divide people into who like fruitcake and who doesn't like fruitcake. I think the grand number of people who like fruitcake is 1.

[@daphne2blake]

There's one Christmas trope I never really understood: Adults don't believe in Santa Clause, but he actually exists and delivers presents to their children every year. Wouldn't the adults realize that he exists?! Wouldn't they notice that every year they'd find presents under the tree that they didn't buy for their children and wonder, "Who the hell left these here?!"

[@cdh0879]

Bloody Belle ikr! That irritates me. I'd definitely notice if someone was leaving gifts cause that'd mean i wouldn't really have to spend my money.

[@daphne2blake]

Even in one of my favorite Christmas movies like the Polar Express runs by this logic. It's just really odd and jarring to me ever since I noticed how insane that it is. If we were to say that EVERY child in the world that receives gifts has 2 parents, do the parents just see the gifts that they didn't buy and assume the other parent was responsible? Do they never ask questions about the randomly appearing gifts? **spoiler for the Polar Express below** Hell, in the Polar Express, it almost breaks me at the end when the boy receives a gift hidden under the tree wrapped in a little box with a letter FROM Santa himself. Both parent's are there and see the letter and box, and inside is what they believe to be a "broken" bell that makes no sound (because it can not be rung or heard by nonbelievers), and never once do they wonder who gave that to them. They still think Santa doesn't exist and doesn't question anything. Just a, "Sorry son, looks like someone gave you a broken bell..." WHO?!

[@cdh0879]

Bloody Belle Yeah, just hand your kid a wrapped box that mysteriously appeared from god knows who with no questions asked👍Really great parenting skills. Hopefully it's nothing dangerous😯Now that I'm older I've noticed a lot of ludicrous stuff in these Christmas specials

[@foxthemess518]

I know right

[@Oracle-qq2dd]

In addition to that, did the adults not get presents from Santa when they were kids, or is there some mysterious Christmas related amnesia that sets in at age eighteen?

Honestly, I like that the big CEO character isn't an asshole for once. He respects being told no, though he's hopeful for that to change at some point in the future, he puts on the costume to pay respect to the traditions of the location, and he never engages in sleazy corpo behavior to get what he wants, like buying the mortgage or paying off an inspector or something stupid. The conflict comes from within the family instead, because one member sees dollar signs instead of loyalty.

Yea it's refreshing. Heck his reason for buying the store was as far as the special shows... entirely altruistic. He didn't believe in Santa but he wanted people to have the joys of Santa to, honestly paying an extra 100 bucks to deliver specified gifts to the house and saying it's Santa. With all the bells and whistles..it's great. He just lives in a world with santa

[@razrentals8897]

The three fingers in this movie kills me. In animation you typically draw animated characters with three fingers because it can be difficult to animate 4 fingers. Figuring out where each finger can be hard and look clumsy, so they cut a finger out to simplify things. In this cartoon however every character is drawn to look as realistic as they possibly can. Their clothes and bodies are overly detailed. There's nothing really cartoony about the characters so it's really jarring to give them all claw hands. The hands look even more like claws because instead of giving their hands the same width of a normal hand with 3 fingers, they cut off a whole 1/4 of their hand.

Here's some advice in case you still want to take over the world: 1. Create a massive time machine. 2. Become the leader of either China or Russia. 3. Conquer the past.

Sir Noel Invade Russia last. Everyone who tries to invade Russia ends up with their military freezing to death. Also, everyone has their eyes on both of those countries, so everyone would freak out if they saw the changes made to the country and massive military building. Also, time machine is too risky. I might accidentally create a time paradox, or prevent my own birth.

Before Jesus had anything to do with it, Christmas was simply the celebration of Winter harvest and people had extra food that they had no more space in storage so they made big feasts and exchanged it to each other as gifts. Around that time of year, the Norse God, Odin goes riding in his flying chariot, driven by reindeer and people would leave treats for the elk in their snow boots by their front doors and Odin would leave a present for them. The material gifts were things they made for each other, like scarves and sweaters to keep warm.
