weekend entertainment: holiday special

[herr_bookman]

From Aura:

If they aren't already, your pup is now in a questionably classic holiday special. Think Santa Claus Conquers the Martians or Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey. What ridiculous peril is your holiday in and how does your pup save the day?

Goooooood, GOOOOOOOOOD...give into the horror...



Let it flow through you...



Wash over you...



Feel the POWER of the Dark Side (of late-70s variety television)!



It is useless to resist.



You, like George Lucas...



...have fallen under its power. Though sadly, unlike George Lucas, you are not also a billionaire.

My God, that's as bad as the Ewok Adventure...but it did have Bea Arthur!

Now there's a question - which of those two is worse?

(My money's on the Holiday Special. Both bring the worst that Star Wars has to offer to the table, but the SWHS also brings the worst the Seventies have to offer. I can't imagine watching it without the Rifftrax).

[bjornwilde]

I'd have to watch both to determine that; which is oddly tempting. I've seen bits and pieces of both but never watched them in their entirety.

Both are an exercise in masochism. Though I highly recommend the Rifftrax for the Holiday Special. I'd go as far as to say it's the funniest thing the MST3K guys have ever done.

Wow, the opening scene with the wookies is riveting. Cirque Du Soleil should have gotten credit though.

"Wow. Even in Modesto, is there really enough pot to make this happen?"
