so this what what do we call this episode something like christmas oh very crappy oh
that's clever because it's about uh mr hankey and his family this i think this is like the
fourth mr hankey show we did wasn't yeah it we did the film the original one the film festival
one and then christmas classics was that before and this was like every cr you know every time
christmas rolls around we're kind of like oh let's not do another christmas special because we can't
top the last one we did and um but actually the last two we did have been really good yeah
but uh i actually really like this first little scene just because it's a very simple cute little
uh scene between Kyle and his brother that's very uh cute but this this uh this episode is where we
decided to use the spirit of christmas which is the original south park thing that we did
way back way way way back um and then use it as a reference it and kind of make this whole i guess
i don't know what you call it reflexive thing where the boys are making their own cartoon yeah
where it's basically the boys doing our story of making the spirit of christmas and sort of
we're trying to get across just how fucking lame it was to make that just how like fucking hard it
was horrible construction paper cutouts to make that shit it was but instead of doing it for like
twelve hundred dollars or whatever we did it for six hundred dollars they're doing it for
to save christmas yeah this is funny right here yeah little cockroach that's i really like this
scene just because it keeps kind of going on and nothing really happens but uh it's very christmasy
i know too that this is this is the first time we meet the nuggets which are mr hankey's kids
cornwallis cornwallis and amber and this has uh the uh the lion king poo song yeah
the circle of poo that in the same way you can do a whole circle of life pooh has its own kind
really actually you know first it was kind of a joke but then we realized it really wasn't at all
if you follow the song it totally makes sense but but it also has this reference of this song
from one of my favorite christmas cartoons called twas the night before christmas which is the one
with those little mice that run around and save the clock and save save christmas and uh right
there's a song in that that i always like that song you wait and i'll whittle you something
enough and uh it was very last minute we threw it into the episode but also because this was the
last episode of the run and we always end up being really tired and doing stupid things in the last
episode of the run we we decided it made perfect sense that while ken kyle's singing that song
at some point inexplicably his face changes into one yeah from the characters of that
show and everyone is just like what the fuck happens to his face there and even me now when
i see it i'm like what the fuck would we do that for but uh but then i remember it's just because
that's how those those people looked that was a really stupid joke basically nobody got like me
oh and bruce bruce got it dude and uh this is mr hankey with his alcoholic wife oh yeah that's
right you know what else happened in this episode yeah when they're trying to spread christmas joy
there's the homeless guy and amber says he looks sad and she he's sleeping and she goes
over and like puts her poo on and makes him give him a smiley face and she's like there
he's like that looks crazy now that's pretty sweet and that's um amber's the voice of pam brady
who uh is on our writing staff and wrote the movie with us and stuff so that was a good time that's
corn wallace simon that's simon simon cornwall it's just the regular one not the retargeting i
love too that now it's late enough in south park you know we've had enough shows and everything the
boys can just stand and shit and it's all right like you know now they think nothing of standing
and shit now because they've just done it so many times looking for mr hankey there you go buddy
yeah so we actually show clips in this from spirit of christmas
but the funny thing is you'll notice for the very astute viewer that we we had to choose
certain scenes and those certain scenes we had to we had to basically put a big score over
because nothing in the spirit of christmas the music was cleared yeah we didn't clear any of it
it was sort of the first time we went back and look at the spirit of christmas and
we looked and noticed i noticed just how much cartman's voice had changed you know
all of their voices yeah but cartman's especially but it was really just like
really like that and so we're like but it was fun because we just worked it into the show like
trying to explain it which was that cartman gets fired and he is not allowed to do it and stan has
to do his voice yeah that's why he sounds a lot different so um but anyway we certainly want to
appreciate you uh listening to our commentaries on this uh on this collection and uh we hope that
that you like it but and more so we hope that you'll uh go out and buy season
what was it fi what's the next one coming out four what is it what is this next one's five this
is four next and i have to say in all honesty five is when shit starts getting really good
it really is i think that that's what actually that might be our best was sort of what it was
on that next cd yeah but season five is the best one and that's why on the next one we're actually
gonna do commentary not fun size like we're doing now we're gonna do uh mini size which is
exactly ten seconds longer than fun size yeah ten percent and more than that we did on the
second one because the second one we don't even like that it's like a kitkat with uh 10 more yeah
so um thank you very much and merry christmas well i think people are just fed up with the
crowded shopping and the credit card bills i i think that the holiday just has become a joke you
know it's just that a lot of people don't really believe in the whole jesus thing anymore you know
so what's to celebrate oh yeah right in the balls man right squaring the balls well the
holiday spirit may be gone from south park but at least our faith in each other remains strong
oh really dude change the channel this is too depressing
good grief we need a christmas tree for our play uh jesus not this thing again how come everyone
in cartoons has such big heads all right everyone we've got to get on with our play
jesus this sucks all they keep doing is dancing around yeah this thing really falls apart in the
second act and why is it that on charlie brown cartoons everyone talks like this my mom could
make a better christmas special than this hey that's it oh my god that's totally it it's so
simple what dude we can get everyone back into the christmas spirit by making our very own animated
christmas special and showing it to everybody in town we don't know anything about animation how
hard can it be look at it hey yeah we can make a little animated santa claus and jesus and it can
start us instead of these little round-headed guys oh yeah and we can call it the spirit of
christmas
