Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

1.  That's a cartoon.  I meant stop-animation.  I should have been clearer on the concept, I guess.

2.  It's American "humor", thus utterly worthless.  Especially considering it was done by the same guy that did "Family Guy". 

So it doesn't count.

This was glorious.

GLORIOUS!

Point of order:  Jerry Garcia isn't dead.  He fucked off to run an ODDLY successful, ODDLY enduring despite economic conditions, ODDLY well stocked music and instrument store in a podunk Irish fishing village on the east coast.  Yes, the guy is missing the digits to prove it too.  

Christmas is always fucked.  Something will always get in the way, mess with you, or drag you out in the worst possible situation.  Simply for the fact that it's one of those times of year you'd like to put your best shit forward, but everyone else wants to so too at the same time.  The Dread Prophet Murphy does not stand for this.  Something is bound to complicate, and we cannot accept that things will go on without great stress, the DUMB made flesh.  

Next year I'm taping a sign to my door "Fuck you all, I'm in bed asleep.", and dealing with interlopers by machete.  I'm off to set Baby Jesus up in a premmie incubator and crap in the creche.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

It's not the same ilk that did fg, because of that mercy it's occasionally funny.
Over here our claymation nightmare is Wallace and grommit, there's only four half hour episodes and they have been on over and over.

There is one excellent claymation, comet quest the adventures of mark twain. Look it and the mysterious stranger up on YouTube if you have the time.

Well, there is also Will Vinton's Claymation Christmas Special:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Claymation_Christmas_Celebration

But this isn't what Roger is talking about.  It's claymation but it's like a claymation variety show with claymation characters performing different holiday carols.  It also features the California Raisins back when they were hot shit. 

Little bit of useless RWHN family trivia:  My mom was pregnant with one of my younger siblings when this came out.  My brother and I had taped this special and played it over and over and over again.  For some reason or other, it made my Mom nauseous when she saw it.  She still has an adverse reaction to it when she sees it.  Weird.

All that aside:  :mittens: to the OP.  All of those other stop-animation specials pretty much run on the same formula.  The fat guy does something to screw up the one day of the year he has to get up and work and then some kid or animal has to come save the day. 

By the way, why hasn't the special been made yet where global warming threatens to kill the North Pole and Santa? 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

Bump for continued relevance.

And because I'm so ronery.

Inadvisable.

I dreamt about something similar last night. Doesn't seem too bad. Makes it a bit harder to play stringed instruments, but I have a bassist friend with only one arm, so I guess it's possible.
