Since it was on last night, the Rankin and Bass stop-motion classic "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!"
We all definitely have to give the good folks at Rankin and Bass much thanks and credit for bestowing this Christmas classic on us 45 years ago (Yes! It's been 45 years!). And as much as I love watching this one, it needs to be snarked on. But like with all my "Jem" snarks, I do it because I love it.
( Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose )
( And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows )
"PUT YO' HANDS WAY UP IN THE AIR AND WAVE 'EM AROUND LIKE YOU JUST DON'T CARE!!!"
( All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names )
( They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games )
( Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say... )
( 'Rudolph, with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?' )
"GODDAMN, I HAVE NO TEETH!"
( Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee... )
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, you'll go down in history!"
So there you have it. Santa Claus was a fat bastard and actively encouraged discrimination in the work place. The reindeer made fun of Rudolph and talked smack about him behind his back. Then they ate their words in the end, kissed his ass, and begged Rudolph to work for him anyway. But it was a charming tale of rising up and triumphing over adversity. Thank you for checking this out, and have a good night!
