New Christmas Episode Suggestions

[ETA - Sorry. Should’ve written An American Christmas Carol. The one starring Henry Winkler because I guess Ben Murphy was busy that week. It’d be glorious if they could get their hooks in it. Somehow.]

There are a lot of turkeys to fight around the holiday season.

I just learned of this movie today, and I know next to nothing about it except the title, but by God what a title- A Karate Christmas Miracle.

I agree whole heartedly on the Christmas Martian. I really hope I get to see it riffed somewhere.

I agree with the gender-reversed IAWL attempt, and I think Potter got away with taking the money in that version, too (I had an idea on how he would be punished that would have been 1946-approved).
Fun fact: when Rifftrax riffed most of the original (still waiting for the full Just the Jokes version), there was a riff where Peter Bailey’s ghost wishes he had a daughter instead of George). Yeah?
I will admit in the first three minutes, one of the angels complains about the loud fanfare. Nice touch.

Wow. That title is a gift all by itself.

Yeah, it could’ve been a lot worse than it was. Too bad they didn’t go all out and “63” everyone, including Potter. But that’s showbiz.

I don’t know whether I’d make it through the RT’ed version. After 5 minutes of the Wizard Of Oz preview, I just wanted them to STFU so I could enjoy the proceedings as-is.

There’s already a sequel! A Wrestling Christmas Miracle.

Sounds like similar potential, but it doesn’t have the same ring to it.

And for that pun you get a Tombstone Piledriver.

I am so ashamed right now.

I didn’t realize I had punned until you pointed it out.

Don’t think anyone has mentioned “Stalking Santa” (2006) - an independent release that has Bill Shatner in a featured role.

Stalking Santa doesn’t take itself very seriously at all. It’s a spoof of the paranormal/cryptid documentaries that infest certain cable networks, so it might not work well as a riff.

It’d probably never be feasible due to rights issues, but in its second season the 80s sitcom ALF did a very dark, very weird made for TV Christmas special. Complete with a terminally ill child and an attempted suicide. It’s all very weird and awkward.

This would be a gold mine- I’d love it to happen. :slight_smile:

Behold!


Somehow they managed to rope legendary cinematographer Dean Cundey into this one.
