MUSIC MONDAY! X-MAS SPECIAL FT. KEVIN MCCALLISTER, THE MARIO BROS, & CAPTAIN PICARD!


This little ditty had me whistling the soundtrack from Home Alone for two nights straight at work and, really, that's the most Christmasy I've felt this season (save when I've spent time with my friends and family). It really makes you appreciate the care and effort put into the film's soundtrack has helped it stand the test of time as a Christmas classic. And the sequel is good too. But the next sequel is kinda suck too.

And the fourth movie is just awful. Terrible. Horrible Awful.


What's better than Danny Avidan and Arin Hanson, of Game Grumps, teaming up for a new band? A new Egoraptor (AKA Arin Hanson) cartoon based on a song from their debut album ft. Rachel Bloom. It puts the classic rivalry of Mario and Luigi on display, over the affections of the fair Princes Peach, and is a fun way to close out the Year of Luigi. It's a fun bit of fan fiction that is pulled right out Game Grumps. I dunno if I think Mario deserves to be portrayed as a sexual maniac and Luigi a soft-spoken and sensitive lover, but I digress. It's pretty frickin' sweet.

This is the best animated work Ego has ever done, in my humble opinion, with a level of detail, style, and visual humor that really shows off his talents that, when combined with the lyrics, creates an awesome story. It's not Christmasy, but it deserves to be seen right now.


Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard from the best Stark Trek, The Next Generation (in my humblest opinion), remixed to sing a Christmas Song? Best Christmas ever.

And if you didn't like one of these videos, even a little...

WTF WED! DOCTOR WHOM: THE NEXT GENERATION OF GRUMPS WITH A VENGEANCE!


Despite claiming to be something of a pacifist and going extremely far not to kill his enemies, when he can help it, the Doctor winds up in a lot of circumstances where he is pointing a deadly weapon at his foes-- whether as an empty threat that he doesn't intend to carry out or that they're too far-gone/dangerous that execution would be a mercy.

After all, to the people of the Gamma Forests, his name means "Mighty Warrior".


Did you guys ever realize that Home Alone is basically a more kid-friendly version of Die Hard? Both involve the right person being in the right place at the right time when bad guys invade a building/house and dealing with it through a series of traps, slapstick, and one-liners?

 So, what happens when you mix Home Alone with Die Hard? You get an adult Kevin McCallister fending off a pair of elderly criminals, out for revenge, with a mix of weapon's from boyhoods past and the resources of a grown-up.

Or he could've just pulled out a gun and shot them both? Or called the cops? I dunno. Merry Krugmuth.


In the year 20XX, I can only assume by the context and clues given in the trailer above from GregzillaGT, that Mike Aruba has taken over the world with an army of video game villains from the post-Jontron era of the Game Grumps series.

We can also assume that the only one capeable of saving the world is Malkovich.
