Sorry, this movie sucks

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

The Spirit of Christmas (a.k.a South Park The Un-Aired Plot of 1995), is actually the second instalment of South Park Christmas shorts, with 1992 The Spirit of Christmas: Mr.Frost being the pioneer. And if you are looking for an original South Park short with what every fan loves most about, you shouldn't miss this one. And here is why:* A strong character goal -->> Stan and Kyle seek the true meaning of Christmas during a discussion * One Amazing Story Catalyst -->> Jesus descends into town in the middle of Stan and Kyle's discussion * Not a character driven story, but story driven characters -->> One of the unique episodes that doesn't follow what Stan does, it follows instead what Jesus does * Memorable lines -->> (1) Jesus: Tomorrow is my birthday Stan: Your birthday is on Christmas? That sucks dude! (2) Cartman: I say we help Santa Claus. Kyle: Your just saying that because he brings you candy. Cartman: Hey I don't have to take that kind of sh*t from a Jew. Kyle: Your such a fat f*ck Cartman that when you walk down the street people go darn that kids a big fat f*ck. * Kenny is getting killed losing her nob, alongside to 6 other Southpark civilians, her screaming for death is her only line* And the best of all -->> Jesus combats Santa Claus hand to hand. If my research is not wrong, this animation short has come out just before the Chipmunks' Christmas Special that year, remember where Dave tells the chipmunks that Christmas is not just about presents when Alvin collects money to buy himself a Christmas gift. Of all the Christmas animations and cartoons, I'd vote for the South Park Christmas short. This is pure and original fun.

This is the funniest short film I've ever seen! It's about 4 boys who meet Jesus and he asks them where the mall is. Jesus and Santa meet face to face and fight to settle what the real meaning of christmas is. Meanwhile, the boys watch and wonder what some Brian guy would do. This film is very funny. The 1991 verson pretty much sucked. This short is very funny, and I think any one who likes South Park, should watch it.I give it an A+ (a perfect 10)

This is the funniest thing I've ever seen. I got a hold of it back in 97 and I still watch it all the time.Jesus and Santa yelling profanities at each other while asking the kids to vote for them is more than many can stand, but it makes me roll!

I've been a fan of this short for years, and the biggest surprise of life came when I found out that the two guys that did Cannibal: The Musical also did this. This short is a classic little bit of comedy that proves just how far some imagination and construction paper can get a person.
