Review:

I thought that this episode went by like a regular Adventure Time with having a few laughs until the climax. Some of my favorite jokes have to the cosplay stuff. Seeing him singing Why DId You Eat My Fries with that wig on just made me laugh soo hard when I first saw it. The telephone scene was hilarious too, whenever a character tries to sound like another character, but is horrible at it just gets me every time. The episode seemed to get the same amount of laughs that a regular episode would get and the story too until that climax. SPOILERS! In the climax, Simon Petrikov/Ice King makes his first appearance, documenting his experience with the crown. It seemed to be depressing, but it was what got me into the show. I'm the kind of person who like constant plot stories. The fact that he has this depressing background makes me want to know more about it. To relive the depressing stuff, Ice King starts crying and says, "Now you know my secret! You know... that I used to wear glasses!". The only problem with the episode has to be something that back then wouldn't be a problem, but we haven't DUCKING found out where the crown came from. BULL SPIT!!

Doctor Who Christmas Reaction Clip

OMG GLOB!!! IS THIS THE REAL SANTA!! WHY DOES IS THE DOCTOR SOO HOSTILE TOWARDS SANTA! Anyway, it's really weird that Moffat is putting fictional characters in Doctor Who. Like WTF! I'm really excited for the special since no one is dying or leaving but you never know with moffat. He's an unpredictable troll that will do anything to make fans cry. I can't wait and I hope no one dies or it's off with his head!! Sorry, my Elisabeth is showing.

Olive The Other Reindeer Review

Review:
I FREAKING LOVE THIS CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. It's funny, it's clever, it's touching (THEM FEELS), it's by the creator of the Simpsons and a is better than what it was adapted from. On the point of cleverness and comedy, there's a joke where Olive had to get out of the mailman's truck. She found mail addressed to her with a nail file from... Deus ex machina! When I was young I didn't get it but once I knew that it was a way to get a character out of a problem with no continuity connected to it, I laughed reallly hard. The overall all theme of the special is that you should try no matter what others think and that invokes a few touching screens. It's a lesson that everyone needs to learn and is execute quiet nicely. The only bad thing has to be the animation but it's from fox so of course. Other than that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this special for how great it is and it's better than the somewhat bland story book.

Cliches: N/A
Review:
I love this special sooooo much!!! The special did have a few funny moments but it's subtle and doesn't seem like it's shoved in for laughs. Comedy wasn't the main priority of the special tho but it's more of the atmosphere and characters. It seems like a realistic coming together of a family on Christmas and that's wat I love about it. It isn't in your face or hiding behind a tree. The special is really sweet like the rocking chair scene and the entire ending. It's perfect, amazing and short and I highly recommend you watching it.
