Late Night Movie House of Crap: A Montage of Santa Claus (Christmas Classics)

26 Dec

December 26, 2012

Ahh, the Christmas movie. Think Miracle on 34th Street, think It’s a Wonderful Life, don’t think of any of these. TIP: If it stars Hulk Hogan, it is not destined to be a classic. 

From December 26, 2011

Please enjoy this presentation of selected Santa Claus appearances. Our first stop is Mexico from the 1959 film titled aptly, if not imaginatively, Santa Claus, which for some reason features Satan.

Back in the USA, here is the aptly, if not imaginatively, titled, Santa With Muscles, featuring noted thespian Hulk Hogan.

 

Want more wrestlers? Here is Rowdy Roddy Piper beating up Santa. (Actually, that is the legendary Bobby “the Brain” Heenan under the beard. You didn’t really think that was Santa, did you?)

And in this next clip, Santa gets into the squared circle to drop the rock bottom on some punk-ass jabroni. (“Xanta Klaus” from the South Pole. You can’t believe this stuff unless you see it for yourself.)

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM YOUR PALS AT MR. BLOG!

The Saturday Comics: Rob Liefeld’s Santa the Barbarian

22 Dec

As they used to say on MST3K, we are in for some deep hurting this week.

Far as I know, this is Santa the Barbarian’s only appearance, from a trading card inserted into an issue of Wizard, the comic book magazine that was better known as the propaganda arm of Marvel Comics.

Where to start? We all know that Liefeld and anatomy are bitter, bitter enemies. Sheesh, just look at the size of Santa’s leg! This isn’t Santa the Barbarian, this is a shaved mastodon. I’d love to say that this card screams 1990’s, but Liefeld is drawing (I can’t say illustrating) the exact same way today. However, somebody must like this crap. Someone out there must think this is cool.

Actually, I know for a fact that someone does. Last year, I sold a set of Wizard cards, including this one, on eBay and while I didn’t get rich off of it, I did make a nice profit.

Look at that card. There really is no excuse.
