First Movie: Santa is omnipresent but uses fairies as scapegoats to spy on children. Second movie: Santa poisons 200 people and bankrupts a family to make one guy a better person because his wife refuses to get a job Third movie: Santa is really slow, wastes time and laughs. These movies don’t exactly paint Santa in a good light.
So oddly enough, "A Fairy Christmas" is actually labeled as "A Very Fairy Christmas" on both IMDB and Amazon. The Amazon listing even has box art with that title.
I "love" how so many Christmas specials like to push this concept that if you're working on Christmas to earn the money to keep your family safely housed, clothed, and fed, that means you don't love them. I have known plenty of families who celebrate Christmas on the nearest weekend because their family needs to work on the literal holiday. What matters isn't some specific date on the calendar, what matters is the love you all share.
Don't forget that it also makes it ok for your wife to leave you for a man that thinks Christmas is more important or call afford not to work that day ala Hallmark
Yeah, you're right. It's just not realistic to demand that nobody work at Christmas. Usually employees can't choose to get Christmas off because that would mean that everyone everywhere would be gone. Getting to choose when you get even one day off is a rare luxury.
The especially creepy thing about Homeless for the Holidays is main character Jack Baker shares the same name as the deranged and murderous father figure in Resident Evil 7. If only it had turned out they ARE the same person, would've made for a much more entertaining film.
Maybe the movie explains this, but if the dad in "Homeless For Christmas" is such a successful businessman, how does he not have any savings? He and his family somehow live paycheck to paycheck, so much that he hasn't even saved up for Christmas presents or his electrical bills, but he's also so successful at his job that he is offered a new job as soon as he is fired.
People love to spend what they don't have, especially when they have a lot. People will live paycheck to paycheck regardless of how big the paycheck is, because where a wise person might get a $100/week raise and think "Now I can pay off debts and start saving!", most people will instead think "Now I can afford to eat out more and get a better car!" and start spending an extra _$150_ a month.
not even that, but I know he lost his job and somehow it's his fault, but I doubt any other company, given his experience and his past success, wouldn't hire him on. Doesn't make sense to me.
Yeah, it seems like if they were going with the kind of plot where a curse forces someone to learn a lesson they could have gone with a series of other misfortunes to explain him losing his savings in a short period of time (car breaking down, home repairs, stock portfolio suddenly tanks, etc.)
Being unable to find work during the holiday season might be even less realistic than the chorus of Fairy Fairy Fairy World. I swear employers want people working 60-hour weeks the moment Thanksgiving flips to midnight.
Have you actually tried finding a job during the holidays? Employers not only refuse to lower their standards, but they're also expecting all applicants to be able to work 24/7 because they're so shorthanded, not realizing that they wouldn't be so shorthanded if they didn't have such unrealistic criteria!
@@otaking3582 Well i think it's worse this year in what the Restrictions have done to certain industries worst hit being the food and hospitality since at one point they had to close and lay off there employees and now they have to re hire them back and cut more staff or create part time/Seasonal postions making it hard to see how many people they actually need. I know December is a wild month for alot of places busy and we are expected to work harder but Covid is not helping our cause sadly for the past couple years.
@@thegreatcanadianlumberjack5307 Having worked in the restraunt industry... Most restaurants are already understaffed regularly, putting the work of a few people on one person. Holidays can be even more stressful and everyone wants to spend the time with their families.
Turns out, Homeless For The Holidays was actually filmed in Auburn, Indiana. I live about an hour away from Auburn and I go through it quite a bit when driving to Fort Wayne. Believe it or not, Penguin Point is actually a real chain located in Northern Indiana. It’s actually pretty good. It’s a shame my area had to be represented by such a terrible film. Haha 😂
@@dragonempress8367 it's pretty cool, the Auburn Cord Museum is awesome and features a short about the company with better acting than Homeless for Christmas.
I would say the last movie made the Christmas Tree look good. The first had WAY better animation and personality (but more than likely was done in Flash), the second was like a crappy Hallmark movie, and the third looked like a Phoenix Games movie with nearly every line spaced out for five seconds. If Phoenix Games didn't have that issue making movies, I'd prefer them over the last one as well!
Her character really is written as a completely hypocritical, selfish and ungrateful butthole. I don't understand how they could write such a character.
The 3rd movie is like something you'd see in a Walten Files episode. I'm just waiting for the film to flicker, glitch, and have Santa's eyes turn black while a loud broken noise plays with a cryptic message shown.
Lol I was caught off guard by Brad Stine. The reason he's important enough to be listed on the cover is because he's a stand up comedian, and he's probably considered an A lister for a movie like that. I like his stuff a lot, actually, but this probably wouldn't give you a good idea of his humor.
In the final film, it really feels like they were super determined to be faithful to the source material. Even though the source material takes about 2 minutes to read.
The funny thing is that's not actually the movie on the cover of the VHS. It must've had the wrong tape inside. The actual 'Twas the Night Before Christmas is actually good.
20:59 you can tell that the company who made this either didn't know better, doesn't care, rushed it, or all of the above, they didn't even bother to hide the bottom edge of the Santa drawings, it's a small problem, but still if like the bottom edge of the frames is showing then that means that they're not a very experienced company
Ok, two things. 1,That brown haired fairy I'm pretty sure is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain, a Canadian voice actress known for such roles as Martha in Martha Speaks, Rarity in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and tons of other shows. and 2, why does the Twas the Night Before Christmas animation remind me of one of those Bevenfield animations that Phelous would review on his channel?
Tabitha's also especially well known for being the voice of Scary Godmother, she was Minty in Gen 3 MLP and played Princess Luna, Granny Smith and various others alongside Rarity in FiM, and just a few years ago she became the newest voice actress for Morrigan Aensland.
12:18 "even though he didn't do it, his boss tells him he has to take the fall and be publicly fired so the company doesn't lose face" Oh boy, a Yakuza Christmas!
I definitely had 'Twas The Night Before Christmas when I was young; I remember liking it, and finding the sugar plum dance hilarious. Then again, I'd watch any rubbish as a kid, so long as it was animated. Arguably, I still do.
I think this santa is actually more cursed. I don't know how that's possible, I'm just going to assume that he has the power of hell itself at his disposal.
Luigi falling in Dark Moon 21:19 Also, if Santa says they will work twice as hard and twice as fast, then he should start by stop wasting our time with dead spacing and slow pacing!
It's hard to believe I've been watching him since freaking middle school and now I'm 19 and ready to head to university next year in May. Life is crazy lmao
I think we all grew up on him if I'm to be honest. I'm turning 20 early next year and I started watching him a decade ago myself. It feels like barely any time has passed
So to sum up. First movie: Forgot it already because nothing happened. Second movie: A man with bipolar disorder loses his job just because then him and everyone get yelled at by his Karen wife then he ends up getting his job back just because. Third movie: Full on mind rot. Sounds like a normal Christmas to me! JK
19:02 I honestly thought it was gonna be the Rankin/Bass one at first, especially because of the mouse on the cover which was probably intentional to trick viewers into thinking it is the Rankin/Bass one lol
Why do all cheap Christmas movies have demented looking child or childlike characters… why can’t my eyes have rest Happy holidays and happy New Years PBG fam❤️ much love keep up the great work Peebs!!!! To another year of content !
Holiday movies you should watch list: Abominable Christmas (a yeti's children celebrate the holidays) * I forgot the name but the second holiday movie on this list is about a time-travelling elf * * I forgot the name but the third holiday movie on this list has a weird dog with a long striped tail *
I'm at work but I wanna know where this'll fit with The Christmas Tree, The Christmas Light, and the crowning jewel, The Christmas Brigade. And Merry Christmas to you, PBG!
Actually PBG showed up in The Rip-off World of the Worst PS4 games. But just for a Gilson B. Pontes joke. Also Caddicarus doesn’t make long collabs with a single person. The collab would work more on PBG’s channel
Was Homeless for the Holidays supposed to be a deconstruction of these types of "dad is too busy for family" stories? Because if so, they didn't do a very good job at it.
Honestly, I think my favourite joke type on Peeb's channel is when he starts to speak enthusiastically, and then explains something in a deadpan voice close to the mic immediately after. Makes me laugh every single time.
no matter how many years go by i can always come back and find good pbg videos, having had a turbulent childhood pbgs videos were always there to make everything better and help me to forget my troubles, i was a tween when i subbed and started watching his videos, im now 24 and ill never stop watching, he had a major positive impact on my life, if you see this comment thank you for all the memories and i hope all the best for you.
Historical laughter? Does that mean your laughter is so loud it becomes documented in history books? Or does it mean you both laugh in a way that is reminiscent of some specific style of laughter from long ago?
Over the years PBG has become one of my absolute favorite RU-vidrs! I loved last year's XMAS video and it was amazing and hilarious. This year's was just as good. Keep em coming!
My question for the first Christmas movie is what kind of public school sends kids to school on Christmas Eve? Shouldn’t these kids be on Christmas break or does that not exist in their universe? 🤷♀️
More importantly, if this school even has a Christmas break, what would be the point of sending your kid to a new school on presumably the last day before it? Why not just start at the new semester?
To be honest, A Fairy Christmas took me WAY back to my childhood. Every Christmas time, it would be on old school Treehouse when my family used to have cable in the form of bumpers and promos. I used to love that movie as a child and, when some clips of that movie showed up, I don't even know if I could put this movie somewhere close to my own heart. Looking back now, I begin to realize that the plot makes no sense. And of course, the fairy in the thumbnail, I got quite confused about who she is and why do I recognize her from somewhere. It seems to me like Peebs had unlocked a fragment of my childhood that was kept locked away for over a decade.
When I'm depressed or, lonely, or just sitting in the eerie silence of my bedroom, I'll think of this grown ass man sitting in his living room with a deadass expression watching A Very Fairy Christmas, probably enjoying it just a little. That'll instantly boost my mood.
14:09 As other folks have pointed out, Brad Stein is a relatively famous Christian comedian who I think was at his peak in the early 2000's. My family has some of his specials on DVD including "Put A Helmet On".
19:37 I'm honestly disappointed that blanket isn't striped, Because that's the exact shade as Freddy's Sweater...It's fitting because this whole film is a Nightmare...
I've been watching PBG's video's since I was about 8 and it is safe to say that he has shaped my entire view on comedy and part of my childhood as a whole. And It's always great to see him upload goodwill stuff especially on Christmas.
I like the fact that after all this time you are one of the few RU-vidrs I used to watch as a kid that has both kept their style still actively post videos keep the same type of comedy and is just generally a nice wholesome guy I appreciate seeing that, I was tired of seeing so many just go down the crapper after a few years and seeing you still as good as ever makes me genuinely happy thank you
Peebs i doubt you'll see this but as someone who's been watching since 2012, im so glad to see you making videos for another year!! Keep it up my friend
Goodwill Movies: "Remember, brunettes, blondes are E V I L!" To be fair, typos in commercial texts *can* become HUGE problems worth thousands of bucks... *Cries in my past copywriting mistakes*
You know your mission was successful with finding bad Christmas movies when the Homeless one was so painful just to listen about it was tempting to skip to the next movie. Wow that film sounds horrendous.
I love those movies that have some supernatural old man cursing the protagonist to teach them a valuable lesson. They're always the most intriguing part of the movie. Like, WHO is this man? Is it Santa? Is it God? Satan? Why aren't we watching him instead?
If I remember correctly, Lilting is a type of mouth singing traditionally done in Ireland. It kind of like yodeling in the sense where there is no lyrics.
