Rules for having a Merry Christmas at the Peltzers.
1. Copious amounts of Eggnog and booze. Especially if you are a police officer and about to drive.
2. Bake Gingerbread men. Note, using fresh ginger will give you more depth of flavor. Do not try licking the batter from the bowl while it is still in the blender.
3. Don't feed overly cute things after midnight. Although if you do, make sure to microwave them. They will explode really cool!
4. Do not invite this woman to your party. She will bum you out.

5. No poofdahs.
This movie is most known for: Introducing the world to the Peltzer Smokeless Ashtray and the Bathroom Buddy. Resulting in many, many deaths. The Peltzer Corporation was bought out by Mainway Toys.
Being partially responsible for creating the PG-13 rating. It was this movie, Temple of Doom, and Care Bears: The Movie.
Noted riffs:
"Hey, what are you doing? These things cause cancer! I'm just trying to look cool here."
"Aaah! Blam! Blam! Blam!"
(Hey, Billy!) --- "How come you haven't tapped that yet?"
"Oh yeah. I got the hand up my ass blues, so bad."
"So what they are trying to tell us here is that puppets are annoying."
And the reading of my letter to Joe Dante at the end always makes me laugh.
About this riff: Sure Gary, you can show me your new cleaver. Just first tell the nice folks about this riff:
Riffing this classic was a challenge no doubt. So much so that we were welcome in accepting some help from writer Ryan Downey to help us thru the infamous Bar Scene *shutters*. Since the movie didn’t take itself very seriously it was harder to riff than some, but the generous amounts of gore that is splashed around in this supposed “family friendly” film was pretty great.
This one was a x-mas punfest, and we intended it to be. We were planning on doing too many holiday themed movies so we went all out, going so far to have so many gory versions of Christmas carols that we made and extra music video just to accompany this track.
Did we go overboard? Maybe, but ‘tis the season!
Available on Netflix Instant? No.
