jingle all the way

this is a meta masterpiece. i don't know how i didn't see the end coming. so fucking brilliant. i'd seen a gif of "put the cookie down!" before, and that is a phenomenal moment. and the lecherous neighborhood dad? it's all so fucking wonderful. i mean, except that the villain loser guy is also the lone black guy, which is a problem. but arnold fights a mob of santas! he punches out a reindeer! so if this was action hero christmas shopping, more stuff should get this treatment. i guess vin diesel's in some movie as a green beret/babysitter. that kinda thing.
