New Kids on the Rock: "Ryan's Christmas Wish"

/ nkotr
The New Kids on the Rock have a CHRISTMAS DILEMMA on their little bemittened hands! Will they defeat the dreaded Misery Meister in time for Santa's rebirth?

[@anonnico5475]

i think the subtle-to-the-point-it-almost-doesnt-exist running gag of neil just SCREAMING really loudly is my favorite part of the series

As heart-warming as it was hilarious. I especially enjoyed the headlines on the news ticker, and all the little in-jokes therein (I lol'd at Max being declared MIA). The ending was genuinely charming; Neil plays an excellent old bloke, and Ryan's cantankerous old loon was brilliant also. Plus, you got Spencer in there (always a hoot to see him in action), so bonus kudos is to you! One of the finest Christmas specials on YT, hands down! Great work guys.
