From the guys who brought you Mystery Science Theater 3000 comes the classic short film A Visit to Santa, with their unique blend of comedic commentary.

Young Jim is caught in a shocking act of pencil-based vandalism, leading him to look deeply into the core of his soul and come to the inexorable conclusion that he is kind of a weenie.

Kevin, Mike and Bill ride this pony for all it's worth. (imdb)

Your home is crawling with hazards. You are not safe. EVERYTHING WILL KILL YOU. In fact, never mind, because you're already dead; killed by your stupid house. (imdb)

It's time to face the question head on, to stop pretending that the crowds of people following you, jeering, throwing rocks and half-eaten burritos are there because of your charm and animal charisma. (imdb)
