Just wanted to say that putting death speak in lower case as an anti reference to Discworld, great stuff.

Matthew Finbow

See, that would be a lot more believable if you two didn't go out of your way to comment on so many posts telling people they are wrong for liking Muppet Christmas Carol. Stating you disagree once is a difference of opinion. Stating it over and over again is just attention-seeking contrarianism.

Matthew Finbow

I don't think I'm overstating things when I say you are history's greatest MONSTER!

Markus D

I am begging people to recognize that sometimes people just don't like something that is popular, and it's not just done because they want to be special.

Markus D

Do you know about Sondheim's "Assassins"? It's got some apt songs.

Markus D

The costuming is good. Not sure about the rest.

Markus D

It might be your favourite, but it's not a very good adaptation when it comes to being faithful.

Markus D

Thank you! I think most people just grew up with that being the first, and maybe only, Christmas Carol they saw as a kid, but it's really not the best adaptation as it loses a lot of the heart of the original.

B. King

More! Heath just Blasphemed the one true religion of Muppetism.

Nathan Burnett

I’m upping my patron level. One request: put out a “best of” episode when you take a week off. Or (like The Daily Beans) an episode you played this week X years ago (The further back the better)

Zachary Happy Trans Kid Mcbortion

Now Heath has to do the coffee enema, as punishment for saying that the Muppets Christmas Carol is bad.

Sparrow

I think they picked up the housekeeper from the 1951 film version? Also, personal pet peeve, but it irks me when adaptations try to be clever by giving Scrooge Charles Dickens' backstory. It changes the character in ways that work against the message of the story. They did that in the Kelsey Grammer musical adaptation as well.

Sparrow

Yeah dude, we get it, you're very different and special for not liking a widely popular thing

Woodsy Boredom

He's right though it's bad

Mees Hilgersom

The tiny letters joke was great, but I don't think many people besides Pratchett fans will get it.

Woodsy Boredom

Don't. Keep pure.

Woodsy Boredom

Especially the snappy felted quips

Woodsy Boredom

All those are the reason it sucks

Woodsy Boredom

Heath is right.

Woodsy Boredom

It simply is not... Read the srory...

Woodsy Boredom

Heath is right. Muppet Christmas Carol = not good. It's a tonal mess. Too many rats. No terror. No fear. Mediocre music. People who say it is good or a good adaptation have not read the story or don't remember it. Micheal Caine's earnest committed performance is lost amidst snarky, sarcastic Muppets constantly undercutting any gravity or humanity in the tale. It's an agonizing experience to watch.

I just bought the newly issued vinyl with the restored "When Love is Gone" version and it is truly, a merry fucking christmas now.

Hillary Johansen

Has anyone heard of this "movie?" It's called Canaan Land and it appears to be about a grifter preacher who falls for a "real" christian and it stars a bunch of pillow faced ladies - one of which - was in the crazy movie Robowoman that they reviewed on RLM? Looks prime for Gam-ing.

Hillary Johansen

GNU Terry Pratchett

Charles Loelius

Also paid vacation I support thus

Charles Loelius

Do Muppet Christmas Carol as secular(ish) bonus plz

Uriah Jackson

Regarding the"angel" of Christmas present, more like Poison Ide(ology).

Wendy

A Muppet Christmas Carol is the best film adaptation of A Christmas Carol and I will die on this hill.

Michael Duchek

But what about Tiny Tom?

cadavermouse

I truly want that on a bumper sticker

CajunRoyalty

I have never seen A Muppet Christmas Carol.

Santa Grimnar, Aspirant to the Priesthood of Celine the cat

I think we all know what the next bonus episode has to be now. I want to hear Eli gushing about how amazing an amazing movie is, Noah realize that no, it's not nostalgia, and Heath be wrong.

Oke518

Just charge us you give us so much already and since it sounds like you guys are going to have to be swapping over to charging us a set rate monthly rather than per episode you might as well get started now put up a pole I for one will vote to pay you for your holiday as you said no jobs paid you for that off and I never gotten it paid off either which isn't right

Chandra

I'd be 100% okay with paying next year as a thank you for another great year

JDK

+1 to the paid vacation. Merry Christmas! 🎁

Jess Ammel

I'm sorry? The music? The impressively historically accurate costuming? The snappy, felted quips? The set design? Michael G.D. Caine? None of that got to you? Heath I am so disappointed.

Matthew Finbow

Excellent, thanks!

Echo Cian

True friendship is Heath hearing Eli begin to get criticism for disliking a song in A Muppet Christmas Carol and picking up that sword he was about to fall on to go jump on a grenade with it.

Chani Orr

Discworld ❤️ Aw. Rip, Pratchett

Taru Tikkanen

This one: https://youtu.be/WKEQYJIKJVc?si=a-DDiACoTJNBErv9

William Evan Barnes

Give yourselves a paid holiday! I get how the small business owner thing works, you're never really off. But for real, I'm glad you take vacations, now make them paid! I'd happily pay an extra episode. You all work hard and do a lot of great work that I really appreciate.

Zach Van Stanley

Mr. Scrooge to See You!

Zach Van Stanley

Wait, is this the second more-Christian retelling of A Christmas Carol they did?

Matthew Finbow

Anyone know which version of this they watched on YouTube? It seems a whole bunch of different churches have recorded and uploaded versions of this terrible musical over the years.

Adam Martin

I think Heaths two punch line of “peanut butter?…chunky!?” Is one of the funniest things in the history of the show.

Denise Huston

No cheeses for us meeces.

Jme Simard

I’d support paid days off - can there be a Patreon option to pay monthly instead of by episode?

Mark Smith

If you can find it. The Blackadder Christmas special is a good watch.

James

Gonzo crawled so we could walk...

James

The Muppets Christmas forever... Heath... Please apologize... Jk

Caldwell

but it DOESNT even scan! I'm here, catching your poetry jokes, I see them lol 👀

marissa haire

"Mickey's Christmas Carol" is superior to the "Muppets Christmas Carol "

Turanga Leela

A Muppet Christmas Carol is the ONLY version to watch. Maybe on the week off we’ll get November’s bonus.

Lora Forsyth

Kicking myself for not using that.

Aaron Irvin

Passion on the Christ: The christianized version of Putting on the Ritz

Aaron Irvin

If Heath became a flavor you can bet he would be sour

Lora Forsyth

I am going to ask GAM to stop hacking my calls to my mother, thanks. Also not liking the Muppet Chirstmas Chaol is proof that Heath was born a middle age cranky man.

Gmork

Next up: Jesusing up The Passion on the Christ!

Gmork

He's even worse to mouses!

Julie LaVoice

I love "A Muppet Christmas Carol." Strong disagree, Heath. Great episode to all of you! Have a great week off!

Everything Important

I want a GIF of “death” walking off after his bow with his hood off and his wavy hair showing.

Dr. Clerk

I will happily do a paid Xmas post as long as you guys catch up on bonuses...

This-is-a-text-message

The Best Worst play I have ever seen (big statement given that theatre is my job) was a community production of a Christmas Carol musical. If I hadn't known the production staff I would have been sure it was a parody.

Aaron Irvin

Marley and Marley! Whooooooooooooah! We're Marley and Marley! Whooooooooooooah!

Sammypt

I remember giving a standing ovation at the end of the Nashville show too! #TeamHeath #HeathIsTheBEST

Laura Lusby

I’m one of those crazy people that took everything and made it more Jesus. I wrote a song called “The Giver of Life” that was a send-up of “Circle of Life.” But. Even I never saw a reason to “Jesus up” A CHRISTMAS FUCKING CAROL. OMG.
