Didn't I ever tell you about Bumbles? Bumbles bounce!

Rudolph The red Nosed Reindeer
I don't care if it is a sexist outdated story (created only to encourage shopping at Wards) that praises conformity and ostracizing anyone who isn't "normal." I watch it every year. I love Yukon Cornelious, "The Greatest Prospector of the North."

[StopTheMorans]

1. he's always licking his pick; i think that he's a repressed homosexual

:evilgrin:

[dr.strangelove]

6. what do you think Hermie and Yukon did while Rudolph was gone

All that time alone in the cold north. If he was repressed, Hermie would have brought him out.

[NoSheep]

2. I like Rudolph too. Dislike Frosty...too morbid.

[dr.strangelove]

9. What was morbid about Frosty?

[Shakespeare]

12. Frosty DEAD and melted on the greenhouse floor!

And that scene STILL makes me cry.

[dr.strangelove]

14. I forgot about that

It was very sad. But in the end the magic of christmas snow brings him back.

[NoSheep]

17. and you really believe that ;)

[dr.strangelove]

18. YES

Are you trying to say there is no magic in this world and that Christmas snow will not bring to life the magestic snowman I buildin my yard every year.

You must be kidding. There must be magic in the world.

[NoSheep]

19. You're cute!

[dr.strangelove]

20. I'm CUTE!!!!!!!!!!

I'm cute! I'm cuuuuutttte!!!! (I jump in the air flying like a reindeer). I'm cute! I'm cute! She said I'm cuuuuuttttte! She said I'm cute! Ha ha!

Hey, uh, NoSheep? Hey, after reindeer practice, would you... would you... Wou-would you walk home with me?

[NoSheep]

21. Only if you show me where you keep your magic!

[dr.strangelove]

22. Now you're being naughty; no presents for you!

[Mad_Dem_X]

3. I love the misfits...and Hermie

The elf that wants to be a dentist! My dad refers to his family (mom, dad, etc) as The Misfit Toys. LOL

[dr.strangelove]

8. Why am I such a misfit

My family has square wheels too.

[Richardo]

4. That was my favorite line when I was a kid...

...it was just so silly. ;)

[KittyWampus]

5. Praises Conformity? Rudolph Has A RED NOSE!

but he eventually gets pride of place because of his non-conformity.

And we have a more immediate and postive idea of what a toy pistol that squirts jam looks like than a regular one after watching that cartoon.

:)

Deconstructing Christmas toons.

[dr.strangelove]

7. He only is accepted because his

non-comformity helps others. Until he was needed to guide the sled, they still wouldn't let him play any reindeer games.

[On the Road]

10. Yes, But the Movie Doesn't PRAISE Conformity

It shows the negative side of forced conformity. And the nonconformist characters prevail.

[Dogmudgeon]

11. Sexist?

Just because Burl Ives narrates Rudolph's father proclaiming of the search, "This is (a) man's work!" ... ?

Even back around 1966 or 1968, the day after the show was on TV, all us wise-ass second and third and fourth graders would quote that line to each other, in our deepest manly-man voices. It became a yearly ritual.

We thought it was a hoot, that anyone would treat girls that way. Besides, Rudolph's dad was an obnoxious prick.

--p!
This is Liberals' work!

[dr.strangelove]

13. Donder was a prick

That line is so sexist it hurts to think about it now. I remember the first tiem I watched the film as an adult, I was shocked when I heard the line. It still bothers me.

[KittyWampus]

15. Well, Rudolph's Dad Was A Freeper!

Maybe after Rudolph ran away, he wised up.

Christmas is the time for miracles after all.

[dr.strangelove]

16. Yeah, my dad voted for Gore before he died

This after a lifetime of repuke voting. If my Dad was able to see the light, Donder would too.
