The Spirit of Christmas (1995)

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

You can read elsewhere that this short is a must-see for anyone who has enjoyed the work of Trey Parker and Matt Stone and you will read that here too. The Spirit of Christmas is a great must-see piece of South Park and basically no matter if you end not loving it you will fell glad for seen it however I think is just impossible not to love this short. I saw it for the very first time back in 2006 when I got the South Park The Hits DVD and just a couple of days ago I saw it again so is the perfect time to do a nice comment for it.The now legends Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny are ready to celebrate one more time Christmas (right now I'm also ready! The Godfather set on Blu-ray!) but they will have a certain fight because of the fact that Kyle is a Jew and he is suppose not to celebrate Christmas (ALL RELIGIONS DIVIDE). Then we see Jesus in South Park, he certainly was not there to kill Kyle because he's a Jew but yes, he was there to fight…against Santa Claus! "Christmas is for celebrating my birth" says Jesus and "Christmas is for giving" says Santa. Their fight will have as consequence many children dead and yes they killed Kenny! Couple of bastards! (here we don't have the line "you bastards", by the way). Certain moments from this short were later part of certain episodes and of the movie. As we saw Cartman singing "Kyle's mom's a bitch" during one episode and later during the movie we see here Brian Boitano as we see him in the movie. Certainly Brian Boitano will help the boys and they will understand everything, the fight between Jesus and Santa is finally over and we have some more laughs. They boys earned something and we learned that for them was more relevant to spoke with Brian Boitano than with Jesus and Santa and also that for Cartman Christmas is just about one very important thing: ham. This is just South Park, this is the beginnings of a magnificent show, you really should watch this short or where else you will see Jesus saying "you f****** p**sy" to Santa Claus?

stars: Trey Parker as Stan, Cartman, Santa and Brian Boitano.Matt Stone as Kyle, Jesus and Kenny.A cheaply done 5 minute Chrismtas card....and it's pretty good. it's about Jesus coming to South Park to find Santa and they get in a fight (killing Kenny). Meanwhile the foul mouthed boys cuss and cuss and even meet Brian Boitano. i watched it on the internet and I'm not sure where to find it. It's good though and any fan of South Park should watch it. Contains language and violence.My rating: B. 5 mins.Funny!

This is definitely a classic. 10000000000000 times better than the original one with Frosty. That one was stupid. It took me about 4 or 5 hours to download, but I have this saved on my computer as a Quicktime file. I thought Cartman had some great lines. Kyle was good too. In other words it kicked ASS!!!!

This is probably the sickest, most demented thing ever put on film. Which, of course, is what makes it so brilliant. It is disgusting and banal, not to mention perverse and profane. But simply the idea of Santa and Jesus fighting it out at a Mall to decide who Christmas is really about is something worth watching. There's a reason SOUTH PARK is such a brilliant television show and it's all here.
