Who's this guy?

He's one of our writers.

And a funny one, if I do say so myself.  And I brought a tree!!

Everybody: Yay.

What's wrong with you guys? Did you all overstuff yourselves on Thanksgiving?

Everybody: Please Ian, don't wip us into shape by doing the Full House routine..

Darn. Ok..

I'm back..and I got a Christmas tree!!

No, I got a Christmas tree.

And now it's time for "Battle of the Christmas tree and the botvgh characters that own them"!!

No Luigi, I let Mario put up the Christmas tree. After all, like playing Nintendo games with friends, Christmas isn't just about having fun. It's the fun that is shared and gived.

Who payed you to say that crap?

Uh...nobody...not like Nintendo is paying me or anything..heheh.

Wow Kirby, thanks.

This sucks.

I know.

Why? Where's the christmas spirit?

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT??!! WE'RE STUCK ON THIS FREAKING ISLAND!!!!!

Ain't it grand. Just like Christmases when I was a lad..

Don't worry guys. Just because the writers forgot to bring you back to Nintendo island, doesn't mean you have to be cranky.

Huh?

Except for you "Donkey Kong".

@#$#%!!!!!

  WHY has there been so much foul language in this episdoe?

The writer is taking his stress out on us all.

Yep, when I was a lad, we all gathered around the Christmas tree, and sang songs about the sacredness of 8-bit power. Then we'd all go play Pong.

WHY DID YOU BRING ME--  SANTA??!

That was a very brave thing you did, Mario.  It takes a lot of courage to try to take my place.
