That was excruciating. Just a bunch of badly performed songs strung together with a barely-there plot. I’m guessing the little Asian girl is supposed to be adopted, since she apparently lives with an otherwise all-white family, but I don’t think anything was ever explained, and it doesn’t matter anyway because there was absolutely nothing to this. The actor playing Dad looked vaguely familiar, like some ubiquitous TV actor who specializes in “dad” roles, but I doubt anyone with any bona fide acting credentials would appear in this tripe.
I know that it’s typical for cheesy home videos like this to self promote their other videos after the main feature, but was it really to include a promotion of the video that we just finished watching? Why are you plugging “Best Christmas Ever”? We know what happens in that, we just saw it!
Don’t have 55 minutes worth of plot? Just fill out the running time by singing some stupid songs, all public domain so you don’t have to pay anybody.
Did the other elves really have to hijack a family all the way to the North Pole just to figure out that the Louie Anderson elf needed glasses? A simple eye chart test could have told them that. That never occurred to them until the lead elf brought the humans over? And why did Billy Goat Beard elf conjure him up a pair of empty frames with no lenses, only to magically add them later? Was that supposed to be some kind of sick joke, or were the writers just really trying to pad this thing out?
I was just looking something to watch. ^.^ Man, those credits really seemed to take 10 minutes. They made 3 minutes feel like 10. One last thing: I laughed so much at the glasses montage. What the heck movie?
Allison is such an abusive girlfriend. Are you okay, Phelan? Do I need to call someone to help you get out of that situation before she hurts you again?
The window wasn’t closed, it was slightly open. They flew through the crack. Also, is there a reason the girl with the glasses mimes everything she says? It’s incredibly distracting. XD
I’m commenting on this video and giving it a rewatch in the middle of July two years later because of some interesting trivia I just found out. Roger Price, who helped to found the company that distributed this and the rest of the Wee Sing! video series [Price Stern Sloan], was a comedian who invented and published the first Mad Libs and was a friend of Harvey Kurtzman, for whom he wrote a few articles in his Mad magazine.
And that’s the sporadic fun fact for this Christmas in July.

How I imagine Steven Seagal reacting to the jokes at his expense:

In the commercials, the Carl’s, Jr./Hardee’s star was voiced by SNL cast member Norm Macdonald.
Is it bad that I’ve seen two of these?
*Sobs*

Alright, I kind of lied. I also watch this video out of season sometimes because it’s funny. I hope for more Christmas riffs this year.
Okay I kind of lied. I watch this video out of season a lot because it’s also just funny.
