Even if this thread has zero replies…I just have to say this: > [@](#): > > We’ve got a red sleigh down!..I repeat…We’ve got a red sleigh down… Bwahahahahahaha 😃 I suppose Matt & Trey must have seen _Blackhawk Down_ on HBO last week too. And the return of Kenny was awesome. ---

Especially with Jesus kicking some Iraqi ass. The best part, when Jesus raises he hands and says to accept him, and then pull out a knife and kills one and then shoots the other! LOL ---

The under_pants_ gnomes. I love how Kenny just showed up. “Hey guys, how’s it goin?” “Hey Kenny, where’ve you been?” “Oh, I’ve been over there” I _knew_ they were gonna bring him back like that 😃 ---

Jesus: “We’re going to need… (opens up chest full of assault rifles) … a little Christmas miracle.” Brilliant. I especially enjoyed the scene where Santa is being tortured by the Iraqis. Santa goes from “You’re being very naughty, you should let Santa go, etc etc”, and when they shock his balls, “SANTA’S GONNA KILL YOU! SANTA’S GONNA F\*CKING KILL YOU!!!” And they couldn’t have driven home the true meaning of Christmas in a more interesting way. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by carnivorousplant \* > \*\*Kenny _speaks_? > Good gad. \*\* I was actually thinking about this while watching the DVD… You know you’ve watched to much _South Park_ when Kenny makes his “mmm mmmmmm mmm mmm mmmm mmmmm m mmm mm” noise…and you know what he says. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Gaijin \* > \*\*And they couldn’t have driven home the true meaning of Christmas in a more interesting way. \*\* Good point **Gaijin** - The whole purpose of Christmas is Jesus, whether you believe in the legend or the man. I thought they did as fine a job of making that point, as they did skewering John Edward. ---

It wouldn’t be a Christmas episode if Kenny didn’t live through it. Just because he’s been dead all season doesn’t mean he can’t come back to live through this one. 😉 ---
