Late Night Movie House of Crap: A Montage of Santa Claus (Christmas 2013)

24 Dec

December 24, 2013

Ahhh, Christmas Eve. Time to watch movies like It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, and… Santa With Muscles? Settle back with Rowdy Roddy Piper, “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan for a quartet of lesser-known Christmas classics.

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!

Fonzie Eats a Can of Ravioli Over a Hot Plate. (Christmas 2013)

21 Dec

 

December 21, 2013

This must be a Christmas classic, because this is the fourth year in a row I’ve run this. And God as my witness, as long as there is a Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride, there will be a Fonzie Eats a Can of Ravioli Over a Hot Plate. That is my vow to you.

December 24, 2010

This is a classic piece of Christmastime must-see television around my house. (I’m sure that says a lot about my house. We also love Godzilla at Thanksgiving. It’s a bit hard to fit in the oven but trust me, it tastes delicious.)  In this clip from the early days of Happy Days, everyone is getting ready for Christmas, except poor Fonzie, who has nowhere to go. This was before Fonzie moved in above the Cunningham’s and he was going to spend a lonely holiday in his garage. Watch as The Fonz sits on a greasy toolbox, heats up a can of ravioli on a hot plate, and sets out a pathetic little holiday card for company. Were the Aloha Pussycats out of town? Where was Paula Petralunga? And what about the Hooper triplets, Pinky Tuscadero, or a dozen loose cheerleaders? Ponder that as you watch with someone you love.

Zip ahead to 10:20, or watch the whole thing right here!

 

They don’t make TV like that anymore. Could you imagine anyone from How I Met Your Mother spending Christmas that way? I didn’t think so.
