Just before Matt Stone and Trey Parker made history with South Park, Fox executive Brian Graden commissioned a Christmas card for the duo to create. The Spirit of Christmas is the very funny and aggressive look at the modern Christmas ideal through the eyes of our favorite foursome form South Park.
What makes it funny to start off is it begins like a normal Christmas card, but then sinks right into the racist and crude humor that the series is most famous for. But the true inspiration is the religious and Christmas symbols, Jesus and Santa Claus, dueling a-la Mortal Combat about whether Christmas is for giving or remembering Jesus' birth. Then out of nowhere comes ice skater Brian Boitano to explain the meaning of Christmas. A small taste of random celebrity teasing found later in the show. Of course Jesus and Santa make up (not acknowledging they have killed Kenny and other students in the crossfire) and Stan and Kyle reveal the true meaning of Christmas, I will not dare spoil it for those who haven't seen it.
This short is both offensive, aggressive, profane, and outrageously funny. A classic for South Park fans and non-fans alike.
