Meanwhile, The Flash and villain Ultra-Humanite negotiate a truce to help save a wanted toy for a group of orphans. Clark Kent and J’onn “Martian Manhunter” J’onnz visit Smallville for a Kent family Christmas while Green Lantern (who is from Earth) and Hawkgirl (who is from an alien planet) compare holiday traditions through snowball fights and alien bar brawls. What It’s About: The Justice League go their separate ways to celebrate the holiday season. 8) Justice League, “Comfort and Joy” (Season 2, Episode 23) If that’s not inherently funny to you then this list I’m writing here is probably not for you. Plus, Hank’s son Bobby thinks Jimmy Carter is Jesus, seeing as how his initials are J.C. Both proud Texas men Hank and Cotton are only reunited by their lack of respect for “one-termer” Jimmy Carter. Why It’s Awesome: Regardless of whatever you might think of the merits of Jimmy Carter’s presidency, the notion of him appearing as a peacemaker in this episode only to then become the common enemy is remarkably amusing.
(Jimmy Carter) to attempt to broker a truce between the two. This leaves noted philanthropist and peace negotiator J.C. They attempt to make amends over a family dinner shared with the family now living in the Habitat for Humanity home, but tempers boil over to the point of Cotton forcing everyone out of the house and refusing to allow re-admittance. Made instantly uncomfortable by such an expression, his boss immediately demotes him, but his expression of love for a surrogate father figure angers his actual father, the forever irascible Cotton. When he is subsequently promoted to the position as manager at his job, he is uncharacteristically overcome with emotion and welcomes the news by declaring that he loves his boss.
What It’s About: Hank is roped into doing most of his boss’ work in building a Habitat for Humanity house for his community service. 9) King of the Hill, “The Father, the Son, and J.C.” (Season 6, Episode 4) They resist their natural tendency to wag their finger at sincerity or a hot button issue through blunt imagery, but instead give us exactly what a Christmas fairy tale would look like if coming from the twisted, sadistic mind of Eric Cartman. However, like many of the best efforts from the guys at South Park its tale hooks you with the familiar before expanding the weirdness exponentially with each subsequent scene. As such, it is certainly a risky proposition to view it in mixed company. Why It’s Awesome: Did I mention the blood orgy? To some, “Woodland Critter Christmas” might actually be too twisted, even by South Park standards. At one point, the woodland critters engage in a post-sacrifice blood orgy. And that’s barely scratching the surface. Stan complies only to later discover these critters actually serve the devil, and he is helping them bring about the anti-Christ. What It’s About: Stan is approached by anthropomorphic forest gritters who ask for his help building a manger in anticipation of the birth of their Lord and Savior. (SPOILERS AHEAD) 10) South Park, “Woodland Critter Christmas” (Season 8, Episode 14) In no case is that more obvious than our pick for #10: Of course, just because they’re animated does not mean they can be enjoyed by the entire family.

In honor of this, here are 10 amazing Christmas episodes of animated TV shows. The point being, animated TV shows are unburdened by reality or the need to establish character meaning that an often over-looked source of holiday entertainment are holiday episodes of TV shows like The Simpsons and South Park. Plus, a super-intelligent, power-hungry talking mouse and his dim-witted, sweet-natured sidekick ( Pinky & The Brain) can actually kind of break your heart. However, the realm of animated television offers typically more sinister approaches, such as an episode of American Dad in which the family accidentally kills Santa Claus who then regenerates and seeks out his vengeance like the killer of I Know What You Did Last Summer. To some, Christmas means escaping back into tales of a department store Santa ( Miracle on 34th Street), a modern exploration of the many facets of love ( Love Actually), a vacation gone horribly wrong ( Christmas Vacation) or one of the many iterations of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol ( A Muppet Christmas Carol, Scrooged, etc.).
