Just when you thought Christmas sweaters couldn't get any uglier...they did.
Let's talk about that.
♪ (theme music) ♪
Good Mythical Morning!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
on our chested torsos!
What's the difference between a chest and a torso?
That's not a setup for a joke--
This is a chest. This is a torso.
Oh, yeah. So torso.
And arms.
I got a sweater on my arms. So do you, technically.
And my back.
- Got it all around. - That's true.
We're gonna rip the band aid off really quickly today
and let you know that tomorrow, yes, is the season finale of season six
- of Good Mythical Morning. - (screeching)
- There, you've heard it. - It's off.
But mark your calendars. We'll be back on January 12th, 2015!
It's a new year!
You can make it. Re-watch your favorites, share 'em with your family and friends.
Favorites of these episodes of this show.
We ask you to ask us questions on Facebook and Twitter,
and we're gonna answer some of those right now, holiday style!
Hannah Hebenthal asks, "How do you deal with 'crazy' relatives?"
Okay, Hannah. We all know you're talking about your uncle.
Everybody's got one. He's never been married,
he smells like beef jerky, he takes a lot of smoke breaks,
he talks a lot about conspiracy theories, and you have traditionally
tried to avoid him. Let's call him Uncle Randy,
just to have a name. Listen, you're seeing Uncle Randy
wrong, and what you need to do this holiday is you need
to give him a chance. You need to be his friend.
You need to hang out with him. You need to ask him lots of questions.
You need to go go-kart racing with him.
He will be amazing at it.
What's gonna happen is you're gonna be like,
"I just had the best holiday ever because I hung out with Uncle Randy.
I gave him his due. He's an incredible dude."
- But then what's gonna happen-- - He's lonely.
- He's been waiting-- - He will love it!
- A family connection. - He will love it.
He's got things in his pockets that you didn't even know existed.
No, don't use any of the stuff that's in his pockets, okay?
And if he asks you to do anything illegal, which he will, say no.
But what I am saying that you should do is you should hang out with him
and let him have a good time. You're gonna have a good time.
But...after the holidays, about 7-10 days after the holidays,
you will get a Facebook friend request from Uncle Randy.
At that point, you deny it, you send him a message
and you say, "Dear Uncle Randy, let's just keep this a holiday thing."
It seems like you're speaking from experience.
- Trust me. - Next question!
(awkward silence)
- You're gonna ask me the question? - Oh.
- What is the-- - I thought you were gonna
- ask me the question. - Ceili Peace Merrill asks,
"What is the ugliest Christmas sweater?"
Thanks for asking, Ceili. I present to you,
for your consideration, what I believe to be
the ugliest sweaters on the internet, at least for this year.
First I'm gonna start with the Santa Claus nominee.
This Santa Claus looks more like the abominable snowman
if he didn't have a nose like that stop motion abominable snowman.
Is this some sort of Christmas sweater modeling lineup?
The guy in the back's like, "I'm gettin' ready.
- I'm getting my bracelet on." - He's next, yeah.
But I think this guy in the front got him beat.
Moving right along, the reindeer themed sweater.
Good gracious!
I mean, creative use of the nipple.
I just gotta say.
Well, sometimes I look in the mirror and I look at my chest hair
on my right chest and I'm like, "It kinda looks like a reindeer face."
This guy realized the same thing.
Why does the girl have to point to it?
Like I wasn't already looking at Rudolph's nose!
Well, she's pointing at the nipple.
For your consideration, I also present weird springy things...
- Speaking of nipples. - ..in strategic locations.
I've never seen this type of thing in person,
but I wouldn't be opposed to it.
(laughter)
I'm not opposed to it. They're protective devices.
It's for when you're standing in a line in a foreign country
- and it's really tight. - Oh!
It's so you can't get so close to the person in front of you.
No, it's too much eggnog. You fall flat on your face, and boing!
The next thing you know, you're right back up.
Okay, I get it.
There's also the creepy doll craze that's sweeping Christmas sweaters
in weird parts of the world.
If Uncle Randy's wearing this, I do not go to the go-kart race with him.
This is another level.
This is like an Alien movie/ Christmas thing.
Well, it's kinda like a conjoined twin that never separated.
- Yeah, it's a little-- - Christmas twins.
He wants to celebrate Christmas too.
And if you wanna bring more joy into your life, you can be like this guy.
He's like, "Uh, listen. Bertha. I don't wanna get up."
(laughter) Just snap my photo.
"Can you hover above me and just take my photo?
I'm gonna be on the koala pillow that we got in Australia."
- I love that! - (both laugh)
And, finally, you can just go classy.
That's actually where classy means tacky, only done by Matt Damon,
it's called "tlassy".
"Tlassy." You hear the T in there?
- What? - Tlassy.
- Tacky means classy. - Oh.
Tlassy.
I thought you were trying to put Matt Damon's name in there
and I was totally lost. I was like,
"I don't hear his name anywhere in there."
No, no, it's just tlassy.
It's just classy and tacky put together.
Nicole Woods asks, "How do I ask a person what they want so I can get
the right gift without them knowing that I asked them
- (so they will be surprised)?" - Okay.
Right, you wanna surprise the people that you care about.
We have an idea that I'm pretty darn proud of.
This is what you do: You take their smart phone,
or their computer, when they're not looking,
or when you can have it for a few minutes, and you get in there
and you on a browser and you go to...
(both) Rhettandlink.com.
- What? - Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- Not to buy merch! - No, no, no.
- You can do that later. - You don't need to buy anything
from us for them. At the top of our website,
there is an adsense ad, like a Google ad--
And on the side. There's two.
And these things are smart. It has nothing to do with us.
You can really go to any website where people have embedded
Google ads, and they're smart. They will know what your browser history,
what products you've looked at, and they will serve those up to you
as a second look, thinking that you're more likely to buy them.
I went to our own website to make sure everything was working right
because it hasn't been lately, and I had to REI,
- and looking at surf booties. - Surf booties.
You shouldn't be looking at surf booties at work, man.
- Different things-- - Not safe for work.
- It's boots you wear when you're surfing. - Oh.
- I had something else in mind. - Um, and the booties
I was looking at, and the shoes, and the camping gear, all from REI,
those specific items popped up at the top of our website.
And you will know that that's what they were looking at,
and then you can buy it for 'em!
So if you're into booties, if your friend's into booties,
and they want that for Christmas, you can, um, make a bootie call.
- You're welcome. - Okay, and Heather Wipfli asks,
"Christmas traditions in our house have kinda gone paint-by-numbers.
It's the same thing every year. Tree, presents, repeat.
Can you help inject some excitement into our Christmas morning?"
Mmm, inject some excitement. Okay, Heather.
We're not just gonna sit here and try to inject some excitement.
We're coming to you. It's time for...
(both) That Escalated Quickly!
Typically we answer questions from our desk, but thanks
to Toyota Camry, we're taking our advice to the streets.
We are on our way to Heather and her family's house in [Lockingyata]
to help upgrade their holiday decor.
You've always been a fake tree man, right?
Oh yeah.
I prefer to go au naturale.
Picturing that just ruined my Christmas.
♪ (Christmasy music) ♪
(Rhett) Heather made a bold choice in asking us for advice.
Now we're gonna help her make another bold choice.
Their holiday decor is about to escalate quickly.
Slow down, slow down.
(knocking)
The neighbors are gonna think we're delivering a dead body.
We are dead triangular body delivery people.
- Hi! Welcome. - Hey, hey!
Come on in.
(Link) Okay, Heather, you commented that you're not happy
with your Christmas decorations anymore. Is that kinda what we're thinking?
Yeah, we're really bored with our Christmas decorations.
We're looking for something new.
Would you say that you want your Christmas morning
to be more action-packed?
- Definitely. - Absolutely, we want it
to be very memorable for our kids.
Okay.
That's the right answer.
We can do that.
♪ (Christmasy music) ♪
Okay, family.
We are pleased to present to you the gift-a-pult 3000.
(Rhett) The first ever Christmas tree that distributes the gifts to you.
Everybody have on their protective gear?
- We're ready! - Yes, we do!
Alright, now typically the presents are under the tree,
but with the gift-a-pult 3000, the presents are in the tree,
and then the tree decides who gets what.
- Awesome! - (Rhett) You excited about this?
We're ready.
All right, Link. Fire up the gift-a-pult.
In three, two, one.
(whirring)
(murmuring)
(air whooses)
(yelps)
(laughter)
There's one.
- (laughter) - I got it! I got it!
(air whooshes)
(laughter)
-- Nice. Nice work. - There you go.
Whoa!
(gift wrap crinkles)
(dad) There you go.
Yeah, after building this tree, we couldn't afford to get you
actual presents.
- (Link) Enjoy the foam! - (Rhett) You're welcome!
♪ (salsa music) ♪
The Wipfli's now know that one bold choice leads to another.
And to never go in a living room without wearing a helmet.
(strums guitar)
You know what day it is. It's Thursday...
And Thursday means mail.
All right, slap 'er down, Jen. Thank you for your help.
- Slap 'er down! - Put that where the squirrels
can get to it.
Link and Rhett, your fan in Washington state,
Miss Jordan Pennyton writes, "I watch your videos everyday on YouTube,
always makes me smile and laugh, and it brightens my day."
- Hmm. - "I'm sending you some stuff
I hope you'll enjoy, including a surprise mythical gift,
which I think you'll love..." here it is, Rhett.
- Oh! - Boom.
Check that thing out.
- Just in time for the holiday season-- - It's a Santaur!
- Look at that. - Get it, Link?
Santaur!
(Link) Yeah.
(gruff voice) Hey, kids. I don't need a reindeer...
'cause I'm a horse. I pull my own sleigh.
It's kinda meta. It's kinda like Santa Inception.
I put the presents in the sleigh, and then I lead the sleigh
because I'm an animal, and a Santa with abs.
(laughter)
Thank you for this gift. This is gonna be amazing.
And thank you for liking and commenting on this video.

Link's chair has a mind of its own.
(nasally voice) Hey. How do you think, how do you think
- this episode went today, Chair Man? - (chuckles)
Is everything okay? Can I talk to him?
Oh yeah, you can talk to him. He has a mind of his own, so...
(nasally voice) Does he like it when you talk like this?
- Yeah, he's very skittish. - Hey, Chair Man.
Don't--That's his nose.
- Hey, buddy! - That's his eye.
You look good today. Very leathery and black.
He likes our sweaters. He wishes he had a sweater.
I didn't hear that.
Could you say that louder?
