Best of Funny Christmas Movies, TV & Music

by David Spira

Surviving another month in the “holiday spirit” echo chamber made me ponder, “Which of these movies, television episodes, and songs do I actually enjoy?”

Best Christmas Movie

Winner

Die Hard (1988) - ”Now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho.” It’s a tale of redemption set on Christmas. That makes it a Christmas movie. Deal with it.

Runner-up

Elf (2003) – Everyone likes this movie. If you don’t I recon you might be one of those damned communists.

Best Christmas Television Episode

Winner

South Park – Woodland Critter Christmas (Season 8, Episode 14, 2004) – Stan helps some adorable Woodland Critters give birth to their savior. Insanity ensues. This isn’t for the faint of heart, or for young children.

Full Episode

Runner-up

Futurama – Xmas Story (Season 2, Episode 8 1999) – 1,000 years in the future, a robotic santa (John Goodman) distributes gifts on Xmas. Robot Santa’s behavior standards were set too high in the factory and he judges everyone as naughty… And tried to murder them for their misdeeds.

Best Christmas Song

Winner

O Holy Night – Matt Mulholland - Be sure to read the description of this song, and stick around for the crescendo at the end; Mulholland has exceptional vocal range.

Runner-up

The Night Santa Went Crazy - Weird Al Yankovic

Happy Holidays!
