And if you liked that (and only if you liked that):
If you didn’t like that, you’re probably going WTF??? about now. Well, to each his own.
The other night, I watched the full-length feature that grew out of these strange little shorts. And I tell you, if you (like me, apparently) have a completely sick taste for really weird, never-cracks-a-smile, dour Finnish black humor and you think there’s not enough red in Christmas — this could be your new, guaranteed non-Jolly holiday tradition.
Did I mention that it’s dour Finnish redneck black humor?
Wow. I looooved it! So wierd!
Ohgood. I’m glad somebody around here shares a taste for deadpan weirdness. 🙂
“We believe in you, and wish you were safe.” Heh.
I like Finnish redneck black humor. It’s like American redneck black humor, but quieter and with better production values.
And fewer fart jokes.
Well, that was, um, odd. Did you read the “disclaimers” at the end of the second (longer) one? “The events in this photoplay are real . . . . Dozens of Father Christmases were seriously hurt during the filming of this teleplay . . . .” They know how to push all the right buttons!
Epic.
I hope, one day, to be able to afford a guided Father Christmas hunt. 😉
Loved the second one. Great execution scene with the child as bait. Doesn’t get any better.
The first video bears a striking resemblance to The Dove’s and my initial courtship, and the training I am undergoing.
“SOILED SOCKS GO IN HAMPER!” [SMACK]
My kind of humor. Thanks for the laughs.
Oh. My. Gawd.
I cannot believe it.
Once I got to the “product preparation” portion, there could be no doubt in my mind – the essence was perfect!
JIM BOVARD IS ACTUALLY A FATHER CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Wonderful find, Claire, thanks!!
What is it about Finland that it produces the same kind of humor as a rape crisis agency?
I once spent a week and a half in Finland, some of which was in a remote cabin on a lake way up north of the Arctic Circle in Lapland.
The reindeer meat tasted really good, but I’ll never again be able to look a child in the eye at Christmas time.
LawHobbit, thanks for the heads-up. I finally have an excuse to revise my resume.
Yep, once you’re out of the Christmas Closet, you can never go back.
Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime!
Kent — Now there’s an oldie-but-goodie. And yep — more Christmas weirdness!
That was REFRESHING!! Lol, I definately like the offbeat stuff. That was a good laugh a lovely little mock of the PC ‘do and say as we all think someone else thinks is appropriate and calming’ shtick.
