The Spirit of Christmas

'The Spirit of Christmas' is the animated short film made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone that would lead up to the big comedy hit 'South Park' and the movie 'South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut'. If you like 'South Park' you just have to see this hilarious piece of comedy.

The characters as we know them meet Jesus and later Santa Clause. The two get in a fight over who is more important for Christmas. Brian Botano shows up and learns them about the true meaning of Christmas.

'The Spirit of Christmas' is too offensive for some people, like 'South Park' is, but if you understand it is all in good fun there is good a chance you will appreciate this very funny short.

A very funny short that premiered the the "South Park" universe to the world. See Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Brian Boytano in the middle of the epic feud between Jesus and Santa.

It is tremendously funny and true to the South Park we know and love. See it if you can!

A short watch, but a pretty good one! This version is much better and more funnier than the 1992 version and the animation clearly improved since then. It's pretty nice to see how South Park looked like before it aired. A must-watch for any South Park fan.

This, as most of you know is the second "Spirit of Christmas" the first being re-titled to "Mr. Frosty" both contained the sharp wit, the crudeness that we all enjoy. It took me a while to find a good quality copy of this cartoon to watch, and I am glad I did. In this golden Parker-nugget the boys have an encounter with Jesus looking for Santa Claus...to kick the living sh*t out of him. When Ole' St. Nick and Jesus battle it out the boys consult one of their idols: Brian Biotana. Brian Teaches them the way and shows the boys that shouldn't think of things like "who's going to win Santa or Jesus" but to focus on the true meaning of Christmas. In the end the South Park boys find the true meaning of Christmas....PRESENTS!

This is probably the sickest, most demented thing ever put on film. Which, of course, is what makes it so brilliant. It is disgusting and banal, not to mention perverse and profane. But simply the idea of Santa and Jesus fighting it out at a Mall to decide who Christmas is really about is something worth watching. There's a reason SOUTH PARK is such a brilliant television show and it's all here.
