The Chrismas Carol was Charles Dickens's most popular book. The most successful one in his career. Many television shows have used the plot of this book for a holiday special and there have been many adaptations of the book itself over the years. Of course, it was predictable, it was following the plot of a 200-year-old book that has been a holiday classic for several generations.

Came to the comments to see Mary getting roasted for not knowing Charles Dickens’s immortal story AND to see how many recommended The Muppet’s Christmas Carol. Not disappointed.

My favorite part of this viewing is Mary's obliviousness to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol... lol

“The plot is very predictable.” It should be, it’s a beat for beat of Charles Dicken’s Christmas Carol. It’s even the live performance they’re preparing for and performing at the end.

I am flabbergasted that you have never heard of A Christmas Carol. It is one of the most known and most beloved Christmas stories ever told. It had been paid homage to at least hundreds of times. Even The Muppets had their own take on it. I highly recommend digging into some past productions or even the original book. Cheers

Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" (1843) is the quintessential Christmas story written in English. It used to be required reading throughout most of the English speaking world. It's a shame that schools have abandoned such classics.

Well... Charles Dickens wrote the original about 180ish years before Popular, but we all experience the story for the first time in our own way, lol. This film has been one of my favorites for some years now, but it helps if you were already a fan of Bill Murray.

I think I witnessed a Christmas miracle. I have never encountered someone of Mary's age who has never encountered Dickens's A Christmas Carol. We are talking about a book that has been one of the most popular Christmas themes for roughly 200 years coming from one of the greatest authors who ever lived. Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield and A Tale of Two Cities just to name a few. I even know I am sounding like a Scrooge but I am genuinely astonished by this it's like not recognizing a Romeo and Juliet theme in a movie

If you're looking for another adaptation of "A Christmas Carol", I'd highly recommend you watch The Muppet's Christmas Carol.

This is one of my all time favourite holiday movies. Every time the Ghost of Christmas Present hits him in the face with the toaster it cracks me up.

The fact that Bill Murray ad libed the speech makes the ending even more special.

One of the most greatest Christmas films ever made and by far One of his best performances ever!! So much emotions and in the end compassion!!😂🤣😅😢😭❤👏🙌👍☃️❄🎅🎉

I can't believe that anyone hasn't heard of the very famous book A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens the most well-known Christmas story of all time that has been made into hundreds of movies including a Muppets Christmas Carol with Michael Caine as Scrooge.

Bill Murray's Scrooge was a staple of cable tv and of public television. 😂

Bill's final speech in is so life affirming.

YES. This movie is so underrated, it's been a family tradition since I was a kid!

One of my favorites. Carol Kane kills me everytime 😂

I do love Frank's monologue at the end.

The "A Christmas Carol" story is the single most adapted story in film and TV. Simply amazed that she knows to keep calling him a scrooge, but doesn't know that Ebenezer Scrooge is a character from A Christmas Carol. That episode of Popular she is ranking about was called "Fall on Your Knees" and debuted originally aired in December of 1999. 10 years after Scrooged came out.

This was a fun time watching him get to that really place of being a good man because we all struggle with that

I just learned this yesterday. His brother and father in the movie are played by Bill Murray’s real life brothers.

'It's Bone You Lucky Dog!!!' That is my favorite part, had me laughing hard!

Mary: _shocked by Bill Murray kiss at homeless shelter_ Me: "Mary? Mary?! Oh, God! Code Red! Factory reset! Factory reset!" 😂🤣

"I like this lady!" Carol Kane (Ghost of Christmas Present) is a gift! She's so funny with her whimsical voice and layer of menace, constant violence that Frank deserves, and she's too cute to boot. She's always a delight.

Carol Cane as The Ghost Of Christmas Present is everything in this movie!!! And, you’re right. This faerie is absolutely unhinged!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

1969, the air horn sounds, I laughed until my stomach and laughed some more.....thank you!!!!

I just realized that the waiter when Frank has dinner with his boss is Socrates from Bill and Ted!

I've always loved this movie.

You should watch an actual direct adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL. My favorite is the 1984 version with George C. Scott.

I Love that Mary talks about how she knows the theme of the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, And points out that he's Scrooge, but "I don't know anything about Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol".

3:40 "He's so scared." No, that's Bobcat Goldthwait. That's just the way he talks.

RIP Richard Donner who in addition to this directed The Omen, Superman, The Goonies, Lethal Weapon and 16 Blocks. Next Bill Murray film should be Groundhog Day

I look forward to watching this every year. One of my favorites

Watch Bill Murray again in Groundhog Day. That's his favorite movie EVER.

Oh please, Scrooge was done by Dickens almost 200 years ago. You are forgiven for finding it "predictable".

"She's so familiar..." That's Carol Kane, Mary. You might recognize her as Miracle Max's wife in Princess Bride.

The speech at the end always got me tear eyed almost everytime 🥲

The Solid Gold Dancer's make any Christmas more merry, LOL.

This, A Christmas Story, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation are my favorite Christmas Movies!

"oh it's one of those movies?" And "It's very predictable". It's literally called Scrooged, based on... You know...Mr Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. *facepalm*

Another vote for watching Muppet's Christmas Carol.

The waiter in the restaurant scene is also the guy who played Socrates in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

It was a bit of a shock when I (14 years old) saw this movie for the first time (in German, btw.). But loved it (and Bill Murray), and still do.

My favorite version of A Christmas Carol for sure

I watch this classic every year on my Birthday and I love the way at the end how Bill says his heartwarming speech with emotion and it made me cry with Calvin saying “God Bless us Everyone!”

The fairy ghost is the grandmother from the second Adams family that's probably why she's familiar

Bobcat Goldthwait as Eliot Loudermilk is priceless. "Why does he have to act crazy all the time?" one second later *Gets served an eyeball in a shotglass*

You need to watch 1992s "The Muppets Christmas Carol". It is considered the most accurate adaptation of the story.

Frank's (Bill Murray) boss is Legendary Hollywood actor Robert Mitchum. He was considered one of Hollywood's tough /rebellious actors on and off screen .

Oh snap one of my favorite Christmas movies ❤️

My second favorite Christmas movie.

Muppets Christmas carol is THEE quintessential Christmas story a must watch

Bill Murray's brother in the movie is played by his real brother John.

I watch Scrooged and the Patrick Stewart A Christmas Carol every year, aways have!! But I do like the end credits where Bill Murry gets the Audience to participate it's amd experience when your in the cinema and everyone joins in ❤

Claire is played by Karen Allen of "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" fame. She was Marion in that film.

This is definitely one of the best Christmas Carol movies.

This is my favorite version of "A Christmas Carol" Bill Murray is just hilarious!

Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol is the most classic Christmas story. Literally everyone has done a version of this from the Flinstones to Jim Carey in an animated version to HBO doing a TV version to there being several live action versions that play it straight and countless others that parody or do their own version ever since the copyright was available to the public. Everyone undoubtedly has seen some version of this at some point in their life. A Christmas Carol and Treasure Island are two of the most adapted stories in cinema.

Almost every Christmas special is based on either A Christmas Carol or It’s A Wonderful Life

Its predictable, because its a version of A Christmas Carol. There is no story by Dickens is called Scrooge, its A Christmas Carol. The best version of the book is the Alister Simm version from the 40s, however this is a very fun remake.

Did you say you've never heard the story of Scrooge/A Christmas Carol before? that's actually incredible! The Muppets Christmas Carol is the one to watch I would say, its very very good!

Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" was a schooltime classic. I have seen every adaptation from childhood on. Just about all of Charles Dickens' novels has been turned into a film, mini series, and Broadway play or musical.

For more Bill Murray I suggest "What about Bob?".

I'm genuinely surprised that you've only just heard of a Christmas Carol now! I always figured everyone on the planet has heard of that story!! Hope you watch the muppets version after this.

Nobody ever watches "The Ref". A yearly Christmas staple in our home.

The Ghost of Christmas Present is my festive crush.

One of the best adaptations of a Christmas Carol, Another great one is the "Muppets Christmas Carol"

Unaware of Charles Dickens " A Christmas Carol " wow

At 6:40, I knew I loved Mary's editor for a reason.....

OMG!!!! I knew it!!! Mary Cherry was the best!!! So glad you confirmed that lol. This story is A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, published in 1843. So that's why you know the story. Love that you know the show Popular too. It was one of my faves when I was a kid. No one I knew watched it lol. I'm showing my age because I saw it when it was originally on TV, not syndicated reruns, but glad they got their bag, they deserved it. It was a great show and canceled far too soon.

OMG!! I really liked that show, with Leslie Bibb and Carly Pope.

You should see the original! "The Muppet Christmas Carol"

Us millennials know back when we had tube screen TVs, which means dogs and cats couldn’t see what was on the screen back then. It’s only been recently with LCD TVs that they can see anything. heck, back then if you had a video camera and you tried filming a TV all you would see is part of a faded picture with a analog white band going over the screen. The point is TV screens were weird back then. To the point, they were really only calibrated for human site spectrum range.

I love this movie. It's fun and funny and heartwarming. I love Frank's speech at the end especially the part about how it's the one day we are the people we always wanted to be. It's really so true. Then Calvin speaks and the song.

Carol Kane plays the Ghost of Christmas Present. She is my favorite Ghost from this movie.

I’m actually pretty impressed with myself. Despite having never seen a single episode of Popular, I was able to correctly predict the beats of Scrooged when I first saw it in 1988! 😂

"maybe Calvin will be inspired and talk..." shhhh, no one tell her. 😉 Good reaction Mary😊

One of my favorites from Bill Murray. His brother was played by his younger bother, and his dad was played by older brother.

OMG I used to love Popular. So cool that you know it, and yes, Mary Cherry was great

and whats funny is people now a days make fun of the vcrs gifts but back when this came out those vcrs retailed for 1100-1300 a piece.

Having recently watched this, this movie was quite ahead of its time with the marketing strategy they had in this movie.

This is my favorite Bill Murray movie up there with Ghostbusters and Lost in Translation. I don't know what it is about him but when he does r o l e s like this and Groundhog Day you can't help but love him being a jerk that you know has a real❤

Bill Murray as a Zombie in zombieland is halarious

My FAVOURITE Christmas film! I watch it every year without fail :) :)

Hi Miss Mary, Karen Allen is a great actress. Starman is also a good movie. I think it came out in 1984. Wish she was in more great movies.

Amazing reaction!! Thanks to the subtitles, i noticed a line i NEVER noticed before: When Herman asks Frank for 2 bucks and he says "Herman, I blew it all on Liz" (Dick (Burton) was married to Liz (Taylor))" 🤣

You might remember Karen Allen who plays Claire in this from her role as Indy love interest Marion Ravenwood in Indiana Jones.

Merry Mary Christmas!

It might be time for A Muppet Christmas Carol.

Oh Yes One of My Murray Favorites🎄😅 And Have Yourself A Merry Cherry Christmas from Honolulu🎁🌹

This reminds me of when Homer Simpson never heard of A Christmas Carol until he was introduced to it by watching -Mr. Magoo-- Mr. McGrew's Christmas Carol and not knowing how classic the story was...

140 years after A Christmas Carol came out, Disney did Mickey's Christmas Carol and it was a big deal. Introducing and starring Scrooge McDuck who went on to have his own starring role on a show called DuckTales.

Literally one of my favorite holiday movies ever - and that includes classics like It's a Wonderful Life or A Christmas Story etc. It's a super well done telling of Charles Dicken's classic book and the entire cast just nails it. Obviously, Bill Murray kills it, but oh boy Karen Allen is amazing in this (and I still think she is one of the best actors of that era) and all the "ghosts" are great also, especially Carol freaking Kane. I'll be the first to admit, I had a HUGE crush on Carol Kane until I was around 25 or so, I was 16 when this came out in 1988 and was already deep in the Carol Kane camp of fans. I think The Jerk was where I first saw her and just fell in love with her. In any event, terrific movie, funny, heartfelt and if that ending doesn't at least make you have the feels, I don't even know what to say :D

I've heard that the Muppet's Christmas Carol is one of the most true tote original movies of Dickens' book. it's a really good spin on the story and it helps if you know some of the muppet characters because they're all perfectly cast in the roles in the Dickens story. But them some of the older versions going back to black & white old versions of it are really good too.

Took me years, but I noticed that the phone numbers in this movie are real.. They don't have the typical "555" like fake numbers....

This movie gave me nightmares when I was a kid. Plus that Danny Elfman score. So haunting.

One cannot look at okder movies with the hyper sensitivy of this era. It's a guy who's a Scrooge and who changes.

My boss just today used that line with me. ( If I was in charge, and I am) 😂

If your gonna watch a Christmas Carol watch 'The Muppets Christmas Carol' its the best adaptation, seriously.
