You should, like totally wake up Max Thunderman.
Mom! Dad! Phoebe finally snapped!
As if. I'm not Phoebe.
I am the Spirit of Christmas Past.
Go away.
How did you do that?
I told you I'm not Phoebe.
I've come to show you that all your lame ideas
to ruin Christmas have failed, like royally.
Okay, Spirit of Christmas Past,
exactly when in the past was that outfit cool?
The 80s, barf bag.
Now, come see how bogus you've been in the past.
I have all ways ruined Christmas, and I always will.
You're right. Go back to bed. Psych.
Hey. This is our old home in Metroberg.
No duh. There's you and Phoebe
with your parents on your very first Christmas.
It was the first lame gift you tried to give them.
Merry Christmas, Phoebe.
[cooing]
Merry Christmas, Max.
Barf.
Oh, I'm good. Direct hit. Take that Christmas.
Keep watching.
Hank... he said my name.
Max's first word was Barb.
No, no, no, no. I said, "Barf".
I totally heard Barb.
This is the best Christmas gift ever.
Say what you want, but I still barfed on her.
That Christmas was ruined,
just like I ruined every other Christmas.
Did ya?
You bet your jingle bells I did.
Well, let's go scope it out, McFly.
Hey, if you keep doing that, I'm gonna Barb all over you.
Hey... this was our last Christmas
in Metroberg. All because of me.
Don't just stand there, open your presents.
Cool, prestored poo.
Billy, it's a lump of cool.
Ugh, gross.
Ha. Merry Christmas, suckers.
[laughing]
What could've gone wrong this time?
I crushed the Christmas spirit so hard we had to move.
No, you're like sort of right, but, like mostly wrong.
I have an idea. Hand me your coal, everyone.
[crunching]
[gasping]
That's the biggest diamond I've ever seen.
We're rich.
Well, we're not rich,
but maybe there's enough here for us to retire on,
so we can spend more time with the kids.
We could move to the suburbs
and give them a normal childhood.
I hear Hiddenville is great.
It'd be great to get Max away
from all the supervillains here in Metroberg.
Christmas spirit rules. Thanks, Max!
Don't thank Max.
Best Christmas ever!
How is this possible?
Now, do you see how you're like, totally wasting your time
trying to kill the Christmas spirit?
It'll always turn your bad gifts into good gifts,
so you might as well just give Nora a good gift.
Or, I get Nora no gift at all.
That'll definitely ruin her Christmas.
Thanks, old-timey spirit.
Don't thank me. That wasn't the point.
Can't hear ya. Too busy waking myself up.
Stop that. Stop waking yourself up.
Ow. Sleepy slaps hurt.
What's all the muttering about?
I had a dream I gave every one bad gifts.
That wasn't a dream.
You're about to give Nora cottage cheese.
She's not getting cottage cheese anymore.
Empty. This will work.
To Nora. Try turning this into diamonds.
And now nature's lullaby.
[bombing strikes]
Ow!
Wake up, Max. It's Christmas morning.
What the dickens are you supposed to be?
I'm the Spirit of Christmas Present.
Get it?
Got it. Let's wrap this up.
Get it?
Can't. You didn't learn a thing
from the Spirit of Christmas Past,
so, now I have to show you Nora's reaction
when she opens her gift in the morning.
No, thanks, barf bag. See, I did learn something.
Ow!
Why does that wrapping paper hurt so much?
Because it's a bat.
I'll get my shoes.
[sighing] I love my job.
Man, I look good in the morning.
Here you go, Nora.
- Thanks, Max. - Oh, it's nothing.
And I'm funny, too. [chuckles]
- Hey, what gives? - What's wrong, Nora?
There's nothing inside that's what.
That is messed up!
Un-Merry Christmas.
Maximus Octavius Thunderman, how could you?
Apologize to your sister.
Only if you apologize for my middle name.
We're sorry.
Oh. I'm still not apologizing.
Don't worry, guys.
It's going to take a lot more than one empty box
to ruin Christmas. Right, Nora?
No snow. No Present. Christmas is ruined.
Batter up.
Ow.
Hey, what's all the hubbub? Another bad dream?
Yeah, but this one finally opened my eyes.
I think I learned a valuable lesson
about Christmas.
Don't drink your dad's eggnog because I bathe in it?
I've been a complete fool, Colosso.
What kind of small-minded person
tries to ruin a little girl's Christmas,
when he could ruin everyone's Christmas?
[laughing]
