They’re actually banjo strings, and they’re a present for Sam the Snowman.
Doomsday device.
P.S. Sorry this answer took so long.

Haha, thanks! Credit to Biotop for setting it up.
'Cuz he’s the King of Jingaling.
He crawls out of the sack, whether he’s a stowaway, or all part of the plan is unclear. He absolutely shoves the bird with his rt hand, after pulling out an umbrella, and, BTW, he gives an umbrella to the cowboy-on-an-ostrich, hmm.
I never really picked up on a gay subtext before, but they do make Hermie squeal like a pig.
Just heard “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” and “I Wanna Wish You A Merry Christmas” on adjoining radio stations. Grrr. It’s only freakin’ November 18!
I bet this kid would like the Cowboy-on-an-Ostrich toy.
But DO NOT regift this kid the train with square wheels on the caboose.
Actually, he’s trying to form a rudimentary lathe.
This is contributing to the downfall of our civilization!
I figure we already done felled.
[Nitpick]The misfit toys are not wrapped. The kid sees exactly what he/she is getting the moment they walk into the room on Christmas morn.[/nitpick]
Of course, this posits that the toy, dropped from a height above the monsterous storm (someone with meteorological knowledge might be able to give us a better idea how far up that must be) and with only an umbrella for guidance, actually arrives where it is supposed to go. I see the broken toys landing in the snow and quickly buried under blizzard condition ice, but that’s just me. Yet somehow then, our brave toy,—*if *it survives the fall and hazardous weather conditions has to still somehow get in the correct house. It will certainly be, at the very least, sopping wet and certainly more damaged than before. Ugh. Merry Christmas.
I remember during the Gulf War there were smart bombs that supposedly could be dropped from way up and would go right down a chimney, but this technology was hardly available in the 1960’s. The misfit toys seemed resigned to their fate, but hope and trust are powerful emotions I guess. Maybe Santa eventually can get some delivery drone craft to make this more plausibly successful.
Dude, it’s Santa, he’s got technology years ahead of us. It took the US from the 1960s until the Gulf War to come up with what he already had. Why do you think NORAD keeps their eye on him every Christmas Eve? They’re not telling the kids where he’s at, they wanna know what kind of new tech he has.
Yeah, but if the technology is in the umbrella, then that umbrella becomes a way cooler gift for any kid than some danged whiny misfit toy that rides in on it. Just think, with one of those umbrellas any kid could jump off the roof or tree and land safely wherever. The umbrella keeps the kid from getting wet in a storm no matter which way the rain is blowing. I’d put up with a Charley-in-the-Box if I could also receive one of those!
I have a new theory about the misfit doll:
Ok, having actually watched the show this year, I see that during the big elf singing and dancing number one of the elfs pops up in the middle of another’s solo, and gets hit in the head by a doll for his effrontery! How long has this sort of thing been going on, I wonder? These days we take cumulative low grade head trauma much more seriously than they did back in the day. I’ll take behavioral problems secondary to TBI for 500$, Alex.
I think this is more of a one-time worker dissatisfaction. The first elf sings “We work hard all day” and the interrupting elf responds “But our work is play.” This causes the first elf to pelt the second with the doll. Obviously the first elf doesn’t see the all day toil as any kind of “play.”
We give Santa a lot of grief for his attitude in this scene, but the whole performance was error-ridden and alas the clueless head elf wants to blame it on a weak tenor section sans-Hermey instead of realizing the internal division and general sloppiness is more likely a reflection of his poor leadership. Santa sees this and is disgusted, and Mrs. Claus’ feeble attempt to smooth things over does not really lend confidence towards her advisory role.
Cite?
I think maybe you are right, outlierrn.
Upon further examination it appears the First Elf is not simply responding to the Second Elf’s comment about the work being play. He is demonstrating the song lyrics as well. Here is the sequence:
First Elf: “We work hard all day.”
Second Elf: “But our work is play.”
Now the First Elf produces a doll and clocks the Second Elf over the head with it.
*** But here is the chilling chorus from the other elves at this exact moment:
Elf Chorus: " Dolls we try out/ See if they cry out/ We are Santa’s elves…"
:eek:
Now I don’t think one elf was supposed to assault another here. I lean towards the undisciplined independent act explanation.This would not be the only such screw up in the performance, after all. I think it is still quite possible this attack was a kneejerk response to the trivialization of the elf job as “play.”
But it is also quite clear that the dolls are commonly tested at the North Pole to “see if they cry out,” and that is just plain wrong.
It’s a whole can of worms, amiright?
