Linkara: Hello, and welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. (spreads out arms excitedly) IT'S CHRISTMASTIME!

(He snaps his fingers and to a white flash, Christmas decorations magically appear on the shelf behind him, and his attire now has a Christmas theme to it: a green jacket, a red vest and a red tie (but no Santa hat on his fedora this time))

Linkara: And as you can see, I'm all decked out for the holidays! We've decorated the place with so much Christmas that Santa is telling me I should tone it down a bit. And what better way to get into the festive season than with the most Christmasy of all stories: "The Hobbit"!

(Footage of the then-concurrent Hobbit series of movies by Peter Jackson is shown)

Linkara (v/o): What? [J.R.R.] Tolkien is totally Christmasy! There's the snowy pass over the Misty Mountains; Gandalf and Saruman have big, long Santa Claus beards; and Gollum represents the dangers of greed and materialism over love and companionship.

Linkara: (holds up hand with resignation) Okay, let's be honest: I'm doing this because the damn movies have been released every December, and the final one is coming out soon, so this is my best chance to cash in on it before the public stops caring about it.

(More footage follows)

Linkara (v/o): And of course, the Hobbit movies themselves have been polarizing for people, but let me give some quick backstory on the off-chance you've avoided the Lord of the Rings franchise. The series takes place in the fantasy world of Middle-earth, full of elves, dwarves, goblins and various other magical creatures. One such creature is the titular Hobbit. They're small people, even smaller than dwarves, known in particular for not wearing shoes because of the thick, hairy feet they have. We're focused mainly on the Hobbits of the Shire, a small village in the country...

(Editor's note: "Yes, yes, the Shire IS the country. My mistake.")

Linkara (v/o): ...where Hobbits live in little houses built out of hills. Various kingdoms make war with one another or are cold allies as they seek their own agendas, and every character has at least fifteen different that you easily get confused about.

Linkara: Yeah, the names thing is something even bizarre for a fantasy story. Who does that, having so many different names they go by? It'd be like saying, "My name is Linkara, or Lewis, or Psyweedle, or Thickmaster, or That Guy With The Hat, or That Unfunny Guy Who Reviews Comic Books On the Internet." (smiles coyly)
