[@Sassymouse88]

And older than cocktails! 😂

Ricky clearly did NO studying... And i guess didnt watch the mythtory episode of Puppet History

[@mattuwu9978]

I mean… Saint Nicholas draws significant inspiration from the Holly King, an Old Germanic god/entity that predates Christianity by _at least_ a few hundred years

Ricky has matched their madness this season...they finally broke him!

[@ImekaSF]

I think at this point I might know more about Ryan's shitting habits than I do anyone in the world, including my own family.

[@marialyar6097]

I wish this got pinned because this is the most true statement I've seen in the comments section 😂

[@bagandbroad]

I really hate that this is true for me too. I hate it

[@IWantToPetYourDog]

If someone asks why Ryan doesn't drink coffee in the future, then you can answer "Because it makes him shit!" 😂

[@KristaDLee]

It wouldn’t be a watcher show if Ryan didn’t talk about pooping once per episode

[@thatgirl9532]

Andrew previously asking about how much these two talk about shitting on their shows and they laughed it off… is living proof that they do indeed talk so much about shitting 🤣

[@alexisanalien_]

I forgot about the legal kind of coke and just assumed they were calling Steven coked up Santa

[@AugRing]

EXACTLY, it took me looking in the comments of the first vid to realize they were talking about coca cola

[@goldengaruda8935]

I didn't realize until you said this

[@rinpaisys]

I think its meant to be a double entendre

[@nathanjereb9944]

Would explain why his beard is white

[@lucynosbisch]

And I didn’t question it one bit

[@gamberlane]

That moment when you were all pointing at each other deciding Naughty or Nice was very Spiderman meme-esque with all the Santas.

[@gabiluch87]

😂😂

[@whenchaenniegotmorechemist4446]

Ohh so that's why it seemed so familiar to me 😭

[@Heyhowdyhi]

All of them calling each other Santa is giving "hi barbie" "hi barbie" "hi barbie" "hi barbie"

[@laurasolis9941]

I absolutely love the running joke of Shane saying “it’s always nice to see Carter” whenever he’s mentioned

[@buckaroowhatwhat]

That 'before cocktail' joke from Ricky was A+

[@moretiredthanu]

i love when ryan says that they'll be hammered by the end of the season but he already seems completely hammered in the second episode.

[@idontevenknowwhy3655]

It's bc he's so short

[@Theunusualtalesxx]

He’d had at least 2 drinks before the first one Steven made for him, looked like a beer and a seltzer, and then he had another beer after his cocktail lmao. Ryan is not playing around

[@FlameLover1003]

Ricky and Steven remind of the two old men in the balcony on the muppets

[@alisaperez3716]

Accurate

[@chloekershner8617]

This is the most real take on them I have ever heard 😂

Real

[@4everasinger286]

Ryan: what are these, testicles? "They're roasted chestnuts!" Shane: R O A S T E D C H E S T N U T S?!?!?!?

[@kam.possible]

The only way Shane will become a believer in ghosts and God is for the Ovilus to say, "That's that poo poo." Incredible.

[@Lee0613]

[@rebeccazhao5]

how did the santa outfits turn into ryan looking more like a cross of ebenezer scrooge and hugh hefner and shane looking like a hipster christmas garden gnome

[@noalapizza-paella3986]

That was way too accurate 😭

[@thejason755]

I think shane immediately gave up on the body part of the costume

[@biabiabruh]

Ryan when he told Tyler that he would protect him was toooo good 😭

[@aahanaTk4ever]

Ikr I replayed it at least five times ❤

[@su-she9225]

Tyler is winning in life ngl

[@michelle6337]

I would feel very safe if Bad Santa Ryan promised to protect me. I mean, the only person I'm confident he could protect me from is in fact Hipster Santa Shane, but still.

[@abigailkaterbergcolibaba]

Why...why..why did they do the rock paper scissors.... If there's only one Ryan can drink 😂😂😂😂

[@SecretAgentNein]

Just in case Shane would win and feel like making Ryan poop, I suppose.

[@DieAussenseiterFan07]

Tyler must have really went through an emotional rollercoaster watching this episode

[@bigbrain86]

I'm gonna be saying "HO HO HOLD UP" all week 😂

[@liahuribe2126]
