I thought the Narnia one was the best:

“I killed a monster!! I’m a hero!”

“Would you like some Turkish Delight?”  
“Horay! My first sexual experience not involving a computer!”

“This is why children should read good Christian fantasy and not that Harry Potter”  
“Did you see that play where Danniel Radcliff showed his penis?”  
“What kind of question is that to ask the Jesus alegory lion?! …but yes.”

Robot Chicken had a Christmas Special (half-assed or otherwise) and I was not informed?

I’ll be on YouTube.

I liked the one with Linus and Sally that parodied “Misery.” Snoopy as Batman was good. “Val Kilmer’s dead!”

Given how good the show can be, I thought the whole thing was pretty disappointing, with only the Peanuts segment being funny and genuinely inspired.

Well, I laughed out loud when the stable exploded. Maybe I’ve just sat through one too many Sunday School Nativity scenes…

I wasn’t impressed. I chuckled once or twice, but overall it was pretty lame.
