(The Channel Awesome logo and the title sequence plays, then open on NC sitting in his usual spot, in his Christmas attire. But in this case, he glowers silently at the camera for several seconds, before holding up a Blu-tay disc of the movie to be reviewed: Elf Bowling: The Movie. He then turns the cover around to show the back and points to the rating the movie got: PG, after which he throws the cover down in frustration)

NC: How is fucking Elf Bowling PG?! Oh, I mean...

(Cut to a shot of a poster labeled "Fucking Elf Blowing", which shows several women in sexy Santa-like outfits)

NC (vo): ...I know how that one is PG, that makes sense.

NC: (looks up in thought) In fact, how is that not more than PG, (holds up Blu-ray again) but how is the animated movie based on the game PG?!

(The title and clips from this movie are shown. The footage from the source material it's based on also plays out briefly)

NC (vo): Elf Bowling is based on a computer game from the late 90s about Santa throwing a bowling ball and striking elves. A cute idea, I guess, not really anything that special...

NC: So of course it became a bit hit! (Next to him, the covers for the games Super Elf Bowling, Super Elf Bowling Collection, Elf Bowling 7 1/7: The Last Insult and Elf Bowling: Hawaiian Vacation appear)

NC (vo): It was spread all throughout the Internet and even got picked up by other game consoles, (The covers for Elf Bowling 1 & 2 for Nintendo and Game Boy Advance appear) where it was proudly labeled as one of the most enchantingly worst games of all time. Well, the developers must have gotten the idea to do movies, because in 2007, Elf Bowling: The Movie was released to a very similar response. As the tagline asks, (The following tagline for the original game is shown...) "Can Christmas be spared?"

NC: Not with your greedy asses making these films!

NC (vo): It's okay, though, as the back of the box reads, (The snippet of the Blu-ray back cover is shown, with NC sarcastically quoting most of the caption) "this beautiful computer-graphics movie is perfect for the whole family"...parental guidance suggested.

NC: What are they guiding among?

NC (vo): What elf asses actually look like? (sighs in irritation) There's a lot to get bowled over by, so let's jump right in.

NC: Let's take a look at our last Christmas movie of the year! This is...Elf Bowling. (throws hands on the table)
