banana peel in a way Christmas has always been a test of survival for Eddie in his and and and up shipwrecked Fred Willard [Music] lots of joy for vacation fans here you go rich let's watch Christmas vacation too [Music] [Music] guys we watched some terrible holiday movies today the worst possible one in particular may have been the worst movie I have ever seen in my whole life and I'm sure everyone at this table would agree no it's not the worst in my whole life it's bad things things how could you ever say that after saying things things is pretty terrible you know you know things has redeeming qualities this movie had no redeeming clever things is more entertaining this is just loathesome well let's start with Elms the little movie that could a very promising start to tonight very promising yes rich tell us what elves is all about because it had the most amusing premise elves is about everything it's about a covenant of anti-christmas witches who accidentally spilled blood on the troll who the Nazis made that was buried in the forest and then the homeless drunken mall Santa ex-detective has to figure out what's going on so he can put everything right that sounds crazy but it happened it all happened you and your damn else and sister how many times have I heard that well let's get a little more into detail than just the basic synopsis the film is called elves it should be called elf even though the back of the box does feature two of them there is only one in the film as far as I remember right yes and it's only its head and feet it has it has a head and shoulders it has at least one hand I don't remember if I saw if we were going to it was digging in there okay and it has feet and shins but no midsection no midsection yeah they ran out of money when they had to make the midsection and the face has absolutely no articulation he's got this dumb open mouth lip frozen on his face yeah it's essentially a rubber mask with a body sort of and it's clearly puppeteered it's not an animatronic thing it's not a guy in a costume it's just a guy with the mask on us on his hand going like this right but oh you're giving it too much because its neck can't even swim like the whole issues it's like the whole thing moves like this yeah oh man and the end and he graduated from the Kermit the Frog School of Acting cuz like when he has to move really fast he goes but the thing was barely in the film it was what was this movie about I think he was in for comedic purposes because whenever he showed up it was just like what and then he'd take off yeah and then that would be it artists to feel up a girl the grandpa in the wheelchair was like an old like Josef Mengele type doctor from Nazi era and he impregnated a younger Aryan woman which was the mother so that he can have a daughter who was pure Aryan bred for some reason so that she could become the host for elves because a Nazi super race which were half human half elves and that they came out of the magical forest so I believe the intention of the elf troll was to protect girl so he could have sex with him yes then why does he stabbed her friend this is that that's where it gets a little fuzzy he he attacks the brother does the brother had a fight with his sister right and then I mean attacks the mole says he attacks the mall Santa who molested the sister he stabbed the mall Santa in the ball and then he and then he brings back her dead cat which which which the mother hillarious for absolutely no reason the mother drown the cat in the toilet yeah and then the nasty Nazi lady yeah I guess we're saying this movie is very dense little RIA well let's let's introduce Grizzly Adams okay because he's obviously main player in the movie Grizzly Adams we meet him as a an ex-alcoholic who wants a job at a department store that he used to work at as a security guard and we find out later that he was a police officer detective detective even this very elaborate backstory for someone who is who is basically a hobo at this point who was told to vacate from his own trailer and there's no payoff or no arc that completes itself no I think eventually he just dies he just dies in the house what he hands the crystal little baby you don't even see him die though it's like being bald and then he goes back down you don't see him anymore but why was he so motivated to investigate this this ancient symbol slash murder plot because the hero he's a detective at heart yeah well he gets the job at the mall they tell him Athenian Santa oh yeah he has a beard he wears a fake beard that's right [Music] so he gets its fire done back at the mall because he's cleaned up his act and because mall Santa got his dick stamped off existed that he moves into the mall and this is when a body outline that's always been my dream a murder scene it's the other way does the Santa from before yeah it's the previous murder victim who Luke was murdered by a very very promising suspect Santa said all the girl who was molested by him five minutes earlier and then they the police does this I go I guess you didn't do it it's just a mall Santa let's not follow this up and then he finds the symbols the the the troll yes leaving the symbols which according to Grandpa was the original Nazi symbol instead of the swastika right well he goes to investigate the symbols and that that leads him to dr. scientists oh yeah the best character in the movie hello I'm dr. scientists there's first is dr. scientist who's in the library okay and even the barrels through the expository dialogue as fast as they brought two minute dark do me a favor what is the bottom line well I'm telling you the bottom line is the little creepy things are the little creatures that creep on two legs idiomatically we call them elves there was dr. scientist and professor physics yeah was RNA it was our names for them and professor physics gave an equally fast expository explanation in front of small children driven to select the genetically perfect human mate the proverbial virgin of course holy midnight consummation on Christmas Eve wait a minute well he's talking it just goes right there cuts to the little girls and they're just sitting there and they're just listening the elves were a genetic engineering experiment and the Nazis had rape experiments and they're like really Daddy what's what the gas powered dildo what's it a rape experiment how does that work well I don't think anyone's gonna willingly [ __ ] that troll so obviously this is a [Laughter] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] okay the trolls about to rape the girl and then he sees the [ __ ] in Germany in the 1940s there was a rash of dick stabbing assassins figured it out until today that was strike fear into my heart stay in line with the Nazi Party err we're gonna stand your pick yes sir yes sir yes sir [Music] excuse me man I remember a book from college about mystical symbols and rooms [Laughter] oh it's okay where did you find this movie this pawn years ago Jay found this in a pawn shop in South Dakota just great fine [Music] [Laughter] also the elf finally finds her in the woods and then I guess this is the copulation moment right yeah but it's incredibly awkward it's like he's like there and we can't really tell what's happening I we think they're having sex but we're not sure well he was never he was never in position he was always he was doing something but we were not sure because it was they only had this much of the puppet a little disgusting troll was just attempting foreplay yeah I mean oh he was trying to be like he was in love with her it wasn't raped to him Fitzpatrick after University my inner monologue is outer during during his investigations Grizzly Adams isn't driving around and apparently the Nazis put a bomb in his car but the only reason he found is because he's a chain smoker and the cigarette later wasn't working in the car so he's banging on the car and then the bomb is this little plastic bomb yeah and and instead of throwing the bomb out the window he jumps out of the car you know it was a stressful situation it just didn't he did his first instinct but the real comedy comes when some guy comes up to him right after the explosion and he starts punching him in the face and he says the two greatest lines in the movie what are you a goddamn Nazi or something is that outdoors which is the two questions I would ask anyone who tried to help me at an accident scene in general also the Grizzly Adams is acting was non-existent yeah talk to me favorite what is the bottom line just the flattest delivery that like give me a break please It was as if they had just told him that his mother died before the movie started or they just told him he was acting in elves but really I mean if you read the script to this I don't know it maybe maybe it reads better I want to know the connection between the elves and the Nazis you and your damn else and sit what the hell these nuts is gonna do with these elves and man in the study is your grandfather Andrew [Music] Grizzly Adams did you don't know how to read those the longest trail up well our next film simply titled Santa Claus was on a three movie DVD collection of Santa Clause classics classics does not have sixteen quotation marks around it as it should include the the classic hits Jo Santa Claus and Santa Claus conquers the Martians which is awful but Jack we decided to watch Santa Claus which it I think should be called Santa Claus versus the devil I believe on I found a link on YouTube and where it's called Santa Claus versus Satan yeah which is an appropriate title what is the premise of Santa Claus I'm calling this great holiday classic Santa Claus has to fight one of the devil's minions for the control of good girls and boys so Santa Claus learns that the devil is sending one of his minions to earth to try to corrupt the little boys and girls and so Santa has to do nothing and hope that the little boys and girls do good on their own well it starts off though it starts off slow I mean we it starts off where we learned that Santa has enslaved a a large group of children from all portions of the world indentured servitude and and forces them to sing while he plays on the piano but we should also note that he lives in a castle in the clouds instead of earth the North Channel yeah yeah yeah you listen outer space space base Santa this seems to be a foreign film right and and different different cultures have different interpretations of the Santa Claus myth and it's very possible this is just the Mexican Santa Claus maybe Mexican Santa Claus lives in a city in the clouds we don't know I don't know Mexico at Mexico email or tweet at red letter media tell us what if your Santa Claus lives on a space station and works with Merlin and works with Marlon and enslaved children who build your toys and if he fights the devil on a regular basis has the world's first flashlight has a very huge huge [ __ ] damn girl yeah where's mrs. Claus in this whole scenario don't need no mrs. Claus I got the bottom he's very mad this is magic every time they're good to go well no because you can stop Merlin kind of walks a little yeah he probably has a potion for every time she comes into his room at night now open up it's a cult has erased my memory potion this is no time to play horsey Santa's endangered so Santa has a magical castle in the clouds he has children's from all races and creeds being the most broad and general stereotypical of their nation including I mean Africans right out of the bush Spaniards playing a mariachi and USA kids being Cowboys and then we meet we meet our children characters right and we have we have rich kid whose parents don't love him we have mean boys that throw rocks and poor girl who's poor so Santa Claus has magical items he uses them to watch all the little girls and boys in the Hyrum and I thought that was my favorite part with all the little like Power Rangers gadgets like in his special cloud eye that came out which which looked at earth he had like an ear satellite thing and of course a giant vagina on the wall he's got he's got wind-up toy reindeer and and if they're not back at the cloud castle before sunrise they turn into dust and they that will and if Santa doesn't make it back to the cloud city before Christmas is over he will starve to death on earth because he can't eat any of her food he can only eat cloud food that's magical charming production value lots a little smoke effects and basic lots of smoke everything had dry ice the glass is that dry ice for my phones on earth and dry ice coming out of him the the only reason the movie got made is because it was it was produced by the dry ice king of Mexico we got all this dry ice here you want to make a Santa Claus movie Merlin yeah Merlin the magician is in the movie for some reason first he lives in the he lives in the cloud castle with Santa and all the children neither of them have wives but it's all perfectly Tanja and then they live with the hairy-chested blacksmith he pounds the metal all day and Santa Claus comes and asks him to make him the key for his keyhole was that was that like a metaphor I think so really I would love to find out if these are all real Santa Claus myths or if the filmmakers were the result of tequila tequila and dry ice one long night of margaritas and they wake up there's like a film Rio Under not again [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] so much imagination and things happening well beyond their budgetary or reasoning there or anything less akin is we haven't even said that like faintin and Devils are in this movie yeah it's a very Catholic movie yeah Santa Claus is the good guy the devil is the bad guy we put it together later I pictured them on the beach like in Mexico they just wake up kids just don't wake up dog costume well everyone should people watch this movie Santa Claus would they get the same entertainment value out of it that we we laughed a lot talking about it but it's not the most entertaining movie I've ever seen I mean it's it's it's it's weird and it's it's interesting but the entertainment value is kind of and for anyone for anyone like us who is into bad movies or B movies you need something for the Christmas time for the you need something for the holiday season and I think it's a perfect thing it's it's something that you can put on in the background and make a joke here there and just kind of let it sit in the background I think it's I think everyone should watch this baby yeah I agree I I found a lot of entertainment comment but it was also because we're making jokes about it you know and adding more to it if I were watching this by myself I would probably be bored well like a lot of bad movies you need a group of future yeah yeah it's like a puzzle it's fun to put together because it's so weird and makes no sense and it's entertaining yeah that's it all right I think I think it's great [Music] well everyone let's talk about our third film which is called Christmas vacation to cousin Eddie's Island Adventure [Music] the well let me just say it's to make money I think someone made us went onto a DVD someone made it let's talk about Christmas vacation what remember the lights blind everybody how does that contrast with this vacation - Oh Jim remember the scene where the dog farted no remember remember one one when he was dumber than the chimpanzee well that I do remember that Ridge and then do you remember one they kept telling us that he was dumber than the chimpanzee and then there's the the third time they told us do you guys remember when the young screwed the faucet handle and the water came out along oh yeah yeah they had a plumbing problem yeah and then the water came shooting out of the window Sunday laughs it wasn't you know if that was their attempt there were many attempts at jokes remember when she had the big wrench because oh he's got a big wrench it's big it's a big problem so I got this big wrench and her son yeah that was the joke I was a joke is that the branches was the child egg yeah yeah she trying to catch some water in a bucket too and then dr. death well let's give this some context okay well there's some mild context the Christmas vacation to cousin Eddie's Island Adventure obviously aping off the success of Christmas vacation which is a classic they could have easily have called this island vacation sure sure cousin Eddie's Island vacation but they even do the same font there you know they just want you to see this and be like oh I like that movie Chris I was going to buy this is grafted on because it was the popular one yeah yeah and it does have the National Lampoon's branding ID but that is on any crap now oh no no National Lampoon's is the mark of quality but the surprising thing is that the writer of this film his name is Matty Simmons he was a producer on all the other vacation movies so there is some connection plus some of the actors are back the wife and then the original Audrey from the first vacation movie comes back yeah so there's some like repeats Fred Willard isn't it at Asner big names like that Eric Idle and then of course Eric Idle as a guest cameo as the falling down guy my guess is that Eric Idle said I will work for one day you get me for one day if you give me a whole bunch of money I will come and fall down in your movie do they have a bunch of money to give anybody though you know I guess ed Asner's in it they shot this they have money this was in car there you go that's the movie they got it as a couple a couple of hundred dollar bills in a case of beer diabetes medicine people need to understand how incredibly cheap this movie was to shoot everything was shot on sets that the studio has already paid for by the the it's a Warner Brothers lot the Warner Brothers lot like so it's all back-alley sets that they just have sitting around so this was an incredibly cheap movie to make the most the most shameful part they have they open it with winter scenes and they spray the fake snow everywhere and then they go to the South Pacific Islands somewhere and they reused the same street they clear all the fake snow off and they put a couple palm trees oh yeah the the highlight of the movie for us was the fact that a fictional character was from the town we live in the interesting thing is that that's what the screenwriter thought what's the farthest thing the most remote thing from the tropics that I could possibly think of Milwaukee is often the butt of jokes in movies like where are you from Milwaukee it's a joke you know it's kind of sad but it's true okay I can summarize the movie for you okay Randy Quaid is stupid I'm not talking about the character cousin Eddie I mean Randy Quaid is stupid don't forget the director and the screenwriters and Asner was just bored I guess [Music] but they fade it up because that isn't it died I was specific you were talking about the the it has nursing where it fades out awkwardly that's that that sequence is a perfect example of how to fail at comedy because the joke is simple I built a house and it's going to stand set up built a house it's going to stand so the punchline is the house falls down right they did a little bit of a subversion there where were they were I guess it was supposed to be like a breaking a champagne bottle on a boat [Applause] [Music] don't were like three opportunities where it would have been funny for the house to fall down and they [ __ ] up every one of them and then when the house does fall down it's gotta be one wide shot it falls down in one shot but they do this convoluted thing with different camera angles different with different camera angles and it doesn't work it's not funny [Music] comedy is all about timing you have to setup you have to hit the joke just right usually it's right before the audience figures out the punchline you try to nail the punchline before the audience figures it out [Music] [Applause] okay he's jamming luggage in the trunk that's the joke that was a joke that was a joke but nothing like broker there wasn't anything valuable or it's not gets to go so now I don't see if that's a joke joke because we love we all love Christmas vacation Christmas vacation is a movie that works it's really funny it's entertaining production value aside we're gonna we're gonna cast aside the cheap green screen effects the the CGI Island bad sets the fake snow everything that this movie was cheap about castle that aside why doesn't it work as a comedy wold okay he's kind of a buffoon but for the most part he's he's a relatable everyman and when when wacky things happened to him were we're along for the ride well while cousin Eddie is just a buffoon and we look at him as a buffoon and he's so dumb there's no way than anyone other than a small [ __ ] child could ever possibly relate to him comedy is all is about juxtaposition and so the the classic example is Three Stooges pie in the face right the rich guy at the party gets a pie in the face and that's funny because it's a lowering of stature it's a lowering of class if the Pope is walking down stairs and trips and falls that's funny because you don't expect that from the Pope but let's say a poor old woman trips and falls down the stairs there's no lowering of class there's no juxtaposition a bad thing happened to a person in bad situation yeah so there's no comedy with Clark Griswold he's a normal guy has a normal job seems to do normal things and bad things happen to him juxtaposition cousin Eddie is an idiot and because of his idiocy bad things happen to him did cousin Eddie he's funny when he's causing dumb things to happen to other people and normal people yeah Christmas vacation it's subtle there's subtle little moments of comedy you know you have you have those little moments like when they're in bed they're talking about the family all being together for Christmas and he still has the tree sap on his hands from when you know so it's like a callback to remember when I you know unhooked the tree and it broke all the windows and it was funny there's just like these little moments and they don't talk about it and they don't draw attention to it but it's funny for the audience in this it's just lookit this is supposed to be funny and you're supposed to laugh now there's a part where he is he unhooks the boat and then he's just standing on the pier and then the next scene I'm like oh he's going to jump in and he's gonna swim in it's gonna be wacky and he's gonna grab on to the rope and then they're gonna pull him and it's gonna be funny it'll be like he's waterskiing none of that happened he next seen he's just on the boat my favorite joke in the movie though was when Audrey was talking about the boyfriend she just lost and Ed Asner goes yeah we don't care Daniel who's Daniel okay okay that was because that's how I felt as an audience member but see and that's what I was going to say is between national lampoon's vacation National Lampoon's Christmas vacation and then this pile of [ __ ] cousin Eddie was more likeable as like the dopey odd relatives that everybody has and you know someone who's similar to this or does something like this you know and he has his little comedic moments yeah but you could use a cool one huh now you're talking that's funny then in another one of my favorite little heady moments is when he's standing there and he's talking to Clark and and they're talking about Christmas in jobs and what the kids are doing and all this stuff and there's this little Ferris wheel and he touches it and it all falls apart that is funny this was almost like a completely different character who I hate there was no character they shouldn't be a main character no no then that's the problem so it's like in in Christmas vacation we didn't know in the first five minutes that Chevy Chase is really excited about family Christmas that he has big plans to spend a lot of money on the pool for his family right and so we know right away that he is a family man who wants everything to go right he has a grounding so let the comedy happen what grounding do we have for cousin Eddie none we have that he's dumber he's almost as smart as a chimp so why is there a Christmas vacation - starring Randy Quaid because somebody wanted to make more money off of a beloved movie that Chevy Chase didn't want anything to do with all right question answered let's go back to why this movie doesn't work I'm gonna kill myself well let's get to the point of the discussion when we picked the best of the worst and I I'm going to say it's a unanimous decision for all of us I'm a little bit on the fence well I think everyone agrees that this is yeah this is getting yeah with with these two it's like incompetence versus creativity I mean this is just laughably bad this is cute there's some cuteness in here I'm a little bit on the fence though I do still think I'm leaning towards elves well can you give us a solid answer um bulbs I'll go with I'm just saying it's not that okay you're saying it's it's a closer yeah I agree and and they were both I agree that it's closer they were both they were both contenders for different reasons they have bad puppetry bad effects the most convoluted writing of any movie I've seen in recent history my vote for best of the worse is Santa Claus absolutely this is this is classic cinema where their imagination was bigger than their budget or means and I really enjoyed how how big it was for half a little they did Jesse your pick for best of the worst this is so tough this is this is really really this might be the hardest one that I've had to make a decision on because again I agree this one was just so bad and I know that the point of the show is for bad movies I understand but it also kind of felt like they just kind of slapped the whole Christmas thing in there to me personally there's no like your needs for not sticking to the theme the most under too much but I I really really enjoyed Santa Claus and I'm not sure now if I enjoyed it so much because of the creativity or because of how I pictured them putting this movie together I just yeah I just we all just made it up yeah but it's that's hilarious whatever you were a big binder man and wet right I think that I laughed more during Santa Claus so Santa Claus gets my oh snap yeah well I don't want to create a problem yeah ii never tie of best of the worst because i have to go with elves for best of the worst i why thoroughly enjoyed Santa Claus although there are lots of points where I just wanted to tend and it was dry and dull I enjoyed the creativity the foreign film this of it I I think I had more fun watching though it was a cheap shitty horror movie that was so convoluted and crappy that it and you're gonna elevate it above something that was made with care and love yes you're a soulless monster a perhaps perhaps but I think for that reason alone we have to give but although it is a straight up time I think I think in all fairness we this is the best of the worst first we asked our nonpartisan cameraman to break the tie okay is the best of the world you bombing you guys up to Christmas vacation to cousin Eddie's Island Christmas vacation was the most insulting movie I think either of us have seen in quite some time yes that's fair to say that's accurate and so we wanted to find the most brutal way to dispose of the movie other than shooting it with guns [Music] [Applause] yeah well here it is a movie deserving of the shredder Jack they do the honors it gives me great pleasure to do this [Music] No even the shredder doesn't like the movie oh it's going slowly [Music] Wow that's more [ __ ] up than Randy Quaid [Music] [Music] oh my god there goes all right so after we shredded the DVD of Christmas vacation - we put it in a ziplock bag and now we're preparing to mail it back where it came from which is Warner Brothers pictures and that's care of director Nick mark we're also including a letter and that letter reads dear Warner Brothers why did you do this sincerely best of the worst [Music]

this video will always be a favorite of mine, rip to an absolute legend

[u/WakeUpOutaYourSleep]

RIP Ed Asner. He was strong, it took over half a decade for RLM to kill him

[u/InMonochromeNight]

He was amazing in Ad Astra.

This is wild, I was thinking about the dick stabbing joke only earlier today! "Stay in line with the Nazi party or we're gonna stab your dick!"
Cheers for posting this OP
about 19 minutes 15 seconds in

rip to a terriffic actor and comic :[

[u/walterjohnhunt]

I grew up with animation voiceover Ed Asner, before discovering his body of work in films and sitcoms. He's still the voice I hear in my head when I read J Jonah Jameson or Granny Goodness in comics. I also loved that both in Freakazoid and The Boondocks he played characters drawn to look like him, I can't really think of any other actors that have "acted" both in voice and appearance like that in multiple, non Seth MacFarlane cartoons. Ed had a good run and left one hell of a legacy.

They HAD Ed Asner money.
