Nc be home for xmas

Critic Freakout:

C.C. Cuckooclocks of the alien planet Sha7u#o?Wz learns the hard way that her love of Christmas is rivaled by the Critic's, as he has a freakout so powerful that it not only destroys the entire planet, but, even before the fact, it has already broken the light barrier, warped the speed of time, and shattered every conceivable ozone layer. When he sees he has done, he nonchalantly says, "I win."

Episodes:

HomeAlone2LostinNewYorkThumbnail

Critic Freakout:

The Critic, Malcolm, and Tamara are flying through space in their spaceship to find another dimension to prove the Critic's love of Christmas. They head to Christmassia to find the last of the Christmassians, which happens to be the Christmassian Queen. The Queen breathes Christmas presents on them, which are yuletide chainsaws. Tamara and Malcolm shoots the queen, but it shoots back with wrapped bullets. Critic bravely attacks the queen with his sword and finishes by delivering his freakout while slashing the queen a bunch of times. He tears apart the queen's body and the three whale on its downed body with their weapons. They then solemnly head back to their ship and agree to stop with the madness as they return home to start the review. The Critic also notes that the queen was probably pregnant.

2018

Nutcracker 2009 nc

Critic Freakout:

The Critic holds up a Christmas-themed sword. It charges up, creates an energy blast, and a Christmas-type outfit replaces his regular one. This transformation scene is in a vein similar to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. True to his word from last year, he is deliberately attempting to do a far more modest freakout, where no one gets hurt and no worlds blow up. However, the sounds of screaming and explosions are heard outside, but he tries to ignore it.

Trivia

  • You're a Rotten Dirty Bastard was the only Christmas special where NC didn't review any type of movie, but just did a parody.
  • The review of Santa Claus: The Movie was still considered as a Christmas review, even though it was released in January.
  • The review of Home Alone was still considered as a Christmas review, even though it was released in November.
  • Child's Play is the only Horror film that was reviewed during Christmas, since Phelous considered many parts of the movie to be centered around Christmas. Krampus would also be reviewed for Christmas for similar reasons.
  • Originally, Critic and Phelous were going to review Silent Night, Deadly Night but didn't because Doug hadn't seen the movie, and they thought it would be too grim for a Christmas review, so it was replaced with Child's Play.
  • 2008 and 2010 were the only years where the whole month was not dedicated to Christmas reviews.
  • Batman Returns is the only superhero film that was reviewed during Christmas, since NC considered many parts of the movie to be centered around Christmas.
