He was right about those little umbrellas they put in mixed drinks, too. Not having one there really is depressing. I know this for a fact and I don't even drink :P
"Now I'll take those goodie goods!" "You just shot my goodie goods!" That line gets me every damn time I rewatch this video, I always have to pause it for a few minutes to laugh it off, it's too fucking good xD To this day still my favorite NC joke xD
passiflora incarnata Unless you were still in school. I was in high school when this came out for instance and now I'm a college graduate interning. A lot can happen in 8 years.
In all justification, that fighting scene is a pretty accurate representation of what most of my Christmases with family feels like. Just technically more verbally.
_"Unless the rest of the title is "Go Back Door Humping", I'm not interested."_ I had no idea me and NC had such similar interests cause I'd so watch that! :D
Yes, I know - it's not good. But at least you have a reasonable explanation for Christmas on Eternia - and not a Liveday or SomethingWinterySomething. Queen Marlena was once an astronaut from the earth and landed on Eternia after her ship was hit by meteorites. So it only needs one line from her in the special to explain that Christmas-Thing, cause every fan would know that. (They altered her origin in the remake, but the remake never got a special I think.)
Can we all just agree that Skeletor smiling and the good of the Christmas special making him want to save the kids from Horde Prime is such a wholesome storyline?
That would have been pretty unlikely for 1980s animation. Kitty Pyrde was in the original X-men pilot, but 1980s cartoons generally acted as if everyone was nominally Protestant or had a totally made-up fantasy or sci-fi religion.
It's one of my favourite lines, Doug Walker is a real genius with voice imitations, even the line "it's that english? You need to enunciate, I haven't lips, even I can enunciate"😂😂😂
I mean in a world where Skeletor, Hordak, Beastman, Buzz-off and Mekaneck can all be considered attractive what's in the pants is the least of our worries
He-Man and She-Ra both were superhero shows from the 1980's. By today standards, those type of shows are indeed silly, but back then, those were da bomb, especially when you consider that there weren't much original superhero shows during that time.
As a kid born in ‘95, I love how 80s cartoons like Ninja Turtles, He Man and Transformers are so self aware for how cheesy they are, and that’s what makes them fun.
15:25 to be fair this is every Walmart on Black Friday. It’s…. Kinda close to Christmas? Closer than august, when Walmart starts selling Christmas trees.
something I find funny about skeletor is that his voice actor also did the voice of Gmork from never ending story, imagine if that voice went with skeletor
I suppose Nostalgia Critic made that reference to the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special in the Muppet Family Christmas review, it'd only be fair to give the fans a taste of what he was actually talking about.
Uh...so is Skeletor actually not full-on Saturday Morning Cartoon Evil? Because he actually did something kinda decent here, and I'm wondering if that's part of why so many people seem to remember him fondly.
For some people, their Christmas movie is Polar Express, Rudolph, Charlie Brown, Frosty the Snowman, or even that weird Krampus movie from a couple years ago. Nope. This is MY movie.
Yeah. When I first heard that in this review I was like LOL what the hell?? Plus it's the mocking of it is like the voice of the horse in Phantom of the Opera
Orco is basically the Jar-Jar Binks of the He Man universe. The character they force in there to be funny or serve a plot convenience, but all they actually do is just make a person cringe.
Is anyone enough of an expert on wine to recognize the Champaigne he's holding? I can't seem to make out the brand name on the label. Maybe I might get it for a special occasion.
Doug, I believe I'm familiar with the most of your reviews, but I swear: 6:48 is pure gold and one of your best. OH GOD EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS I FEEL UNBELIEVABLE PAIN Fuck, you got me in tears
"Because this is what you think of when you think of Christmas, right? People beating the shit out of each other." Considering how much drinking goes on at our house during the holidays, I'm genuinely surprised that it isn't.
He-Man and She-Ra Christmas is BACK! Give it a watch!
We are doing a giveaway for a COD WWII PS4. Enter here - bit.ly/2B18FJP
You always make my day when you upload ,new or old
A classic Nostalgia Critic episode! Yes, the gay subtext was probably a thing, but few 1980s kids knew what gay or subtext was.
We've seen this one already. Please make new content. Thank you.
+SilentBudgie Like the new content that we produce weekly?
Channel Awesome i would like you guys to react to Terry Pratchet Hogfather
Specially the little match girl scene
wow Doug grew his hair back, got his old camera, and went back to his old room for this one
Den Hitashi someone stole the delorean!
Carl Eskilson true
This is an old review. He re-uploaded it
Den Hitashi I wish that were true. Nah, its just an old re-upload.
And that new workout he's been doing has got him looking 8 years younger! I gotta find out what diet he's on.
“Christmas time, I’m Jewish “
Best line of the review
The real lesson is to SHUT THAT DOOR
Good message, Chrom(e).
Skeletor knows. Ask the White Witch from Narnia about the importance of stylish fur coats to a villain.
I swear He-Man sounded a lot more manly when I was a kid.
VespertheGamingViking
Same wtf
Me too
So thats his real voice? I only saw the mid-00s remake so I honestly don't know.
it's the pal masters they used to make the dvds
I’m sure a lot of people thought the same way
Skeletor "I don't know what's coming over me?" ...OK that was a perfect gay joke you missed!
Nostalgia Critic should do more Skeletor impressions!
Giovanni Orellana it was Rob, actually.
By the time of this comment you got 7.
NYEHEHE
Giovanni Orellana you mean John McCain impressions kidding but seriously he is skeletor
Sounds like the monarch butterfly from the venture brothers
Doug has a point, that Santa costume WAS a much better disguise, than his usual one.
He was right about those little umbrellas they put in mixed drinks, too. Not having one there really is depressing. I know this for a fact and I don't even drink :P
He-Man: What works for my sister works for me.
Me: Wtf?? X'D
I haven't laughed so much at a Nostalgia Critic episode in a long time, his older reviews were so funny!
Honestly this one is one of the most underrated NC videos. I watch it every year. Top quality shit.
He man looks like Thor in BDSM gear
Barney TheDinosaur Holy shit, you're right, he does. Or, does Thor look like He-Man in normal clothes?
barney; i love you.. *sob*
cell mate; damn straight! :V
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Skeletor is the dominant
Nah, I'm pretty sure He-Man is the ultimate switch.
"He Man"
"Beast Monster"
'Tortoise Turtle'.
Marc Baker He's evil bad. I feel scared afraid.
"Gay Democrat"
Took em all day to come up with those names
"Now I'll take those goodie goods!" "You just shot my goodie goods!" That line gets me every damn time I rewatch this video, I always have to pause it for a few minutes to laugh it off, it's too fucking good xD To this day still my favorite NC joke xD
Yeah, seriously, if I made a top 10 NC jokes list, that one, and like, 4 more would come from this one video. xD
This video is just a fucking treasure trove for good NC jokes xD
AND I SAY HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEAA!!! I SAY HEY. WHATS GOIN ON
And I take a deep breath and I get real high and I scream at the top of my lungs
And I Scream at the top of my lungs. WHATS GOING ON?
YAY NOSTALGIA FOR THE NOSTALGIS]A CRITIC!!!!
Racket Fewl. :D
This was in 2009...
*I feel really old*
I was in high school. Dang.
Jeez I was in my freshman year of high school.

You shouldn't because it wasn't that long ago.
passiflora incarnata Unless you were still in school. I was in high school when this came out for instance and now I'm a college graduate interning. A lot can happen in 8 years.
If you mean the special, it was made in the eighties. That makes me feel old.
Gotta enjoy Rob voicing Skeletor here.
Am I the only one who actually thinks this Christmas special looks fun to watch, in a goofy way?
RyfromNY23 It is!
I agree
RyfromNY23 If you play a drinking game while you watch, it'll make this interesting.
Well it was made in the eighties by Filmation.
I love watching it
In all justification, that fighting scene is a pretty accurate representation of what most of my Christmases with family feels like. Just technically more verbally.
I am not nice
Really, Skeletor? You're not nice? But you always save Eternia from He-Man's dumb antics by keeping him busy!
My personal hero.
skeletor
I'll bet you are.
Nyaah!
You're not nice. YOU'RE JEWISH!!!
Skeletor’s Christmas rant at the kids cracked me up so much
_"Unless the rest of the title is "Go Back Door Humping", I'm not interested."_
I had no idea me and NC had such similar interests cause I'd so watch that! :D
SHUT THAT DOOR!
NO INCEST
I would to just to have a excuse to kill my self
7:26 that unicorn is just Bojack Horseman, isn't he?
I love how around five years later he used a similar voice with the guy with a rubber horse head in the Phantom of the Opera review
Has 2 be
Yeah before he was voiced by Will Arnet and had access to hard liquor.
Anyone else think of Piccolo's inexplicable clothes beam when Skeletor gave the kids coats?
CLOTHES BEAM CANNON!!!
Well the Havok Staff is magic. Which means it can do anything.
Yes, I know - it's not good. But at least you have a reasonable explanation for Christmas on Eternia - and not a Liveday or SomethingWinterySomething. Queen Marlena was once an astronaut from the earth and landed on Eternia after her ship was hit by meteorites. So it only needs one line from her in the special to explain that Christmas-Thing, cause every fan would know that. (They altered her origin in the remake, but the remake never got a special I think.)
Even the 1997 DKC show calls its Christmas the Festival of Lights.
Can we all just agree that Skeletor smiling and the good of the Christmas special making him want to save the kids from Horde Prime is such a wholesome storyline?
Who else loves Skeletor? The fact that Christmas spirit warms him over is fucking hilarious.
I lost it at Skeletor being Jewish!
That would have been pretty unlikely for 1980s animation. Kitty Pyrde was in the original X-men pilot, but 1980s cartoons generally acted as if everyone was nominally Protestant or had a totally made-up fantasy or sci-fi religion.
Ren Cen what type stamp was that
iesha Hunt 13:26
David Bauler I was referring to that timestamp!
Fun fact: his voice actors name is Alan Oppenheimer. Witch means he's technically Jewish.
@@davidbauler3159 whoosh
"I was frozen today" lol nice
"C'mon She-Ra let's fight some evil doors, maybe we can drop by the cigar store on the way there" 😂😂😂
Wow, bubble jokes in a time before FUCKING BUBBLES. Feels wrong.
Maybe the whole "Most Powerful Man In The Universe"- thing let's them breath in space.
He-Man is basically on par with 'silver age' Superman.
@@Launchpad05 except without the superdickery.
Maybe we can stop by the cigar store on the way there!
Lmao I died! XD
It's one of my favourite lines, Doug Walker is a real genius with voice imitations, even the line "it's that english? You need to enunciate, I haven't lips, even I can enunciate"😂😂😂
There is a GI Joe Christmas special.
Well technically it wasn’t a Christmas special, but a regular episode that just happened to be set around Christmas.
hey sis , got the power
The Critic: He-Man is gay.
Netflix She-Ra: Well...
EVERYONE IS GAY
I mean in a world where Skeletor, Hordak, Beastman, Buzz-off and Mekaneck can all be considered attractive what's in the pants is the least of our worries
Also Netflix She-Ra; What if the NarutoXSasuke ship was canon and even more horrifically toxic and abusive?
Their no proof
By the power of the saint nick , I HAVE THE SPIRIT .
o fuck. you have the of Christ
i am out.
I'm Jewish
13:53 "CLOTHES BEAM!!!"
Sweet Jesus it's been 8 years?
Wow an old critic episode
"OH FUCK, THEY GOT BUBBLES!" 😂😂😂
THE PLANET OF NJ 7:00
as a boy from New Jersey you nailed it
8:48 he broke his gay vow!!!
How can skelator have muscles?! He's a skeleton
Alan Bridges you even gym bro
It's He-Man. Even the rocks have muscles.
Alan Bridges Wait, THAT’S what confuses you?!?! 😱
Only his head is a skeleton. He's from another world where everyone looks like that.
How robot chicken says... Magic asshole magic
15:14 😂😂😂 “You just shot my goody goods!”
So this is what happens when you mix He-Man and She-Ra. She-Man.
But they're siblings!
The #6 Runaway Guys Fan that's what makes it so naughty. lol.
Classic nostalgia critic, new nostalgia critic, doesn’t matter one bit. Funny as always and always will be!!
13:27-13:37 best part of the review!
I forgot how great your Skeletor impression was. We need more of this in the world.
xarvous - That was his brother Rob.
He-Man and She-Ra both were superhero shows from the 1980's. By today standards, those type of shows are indeed silly, but back then, those were da bomb, especially when you consider that there weren't much original superhero shows during that time.
As a kid born in ‘95, I love how 80s cartoons like Ninja Turtles, He Man and Transformers are so self aware for how cheesy they are, and that’s what makes them fun.
1:43 she did sorta want a cookie 🍪 😂
Before you ask, this is a re-upload.
Sarah Barker I asked before you answered though
Sarah Barker ok i just thought this was a wierd time traveling episode
death Slinger915 I thought it was a tradition to do this thing or something
End Steam i dont know ive havent seen any of the alot of season 5 through season 1 so i dont know
Is this a reupload?
11:04 You may have vomited but I was laughing the first time I saw this.
I lost it with the Horde Prime scene where nobody understood a word he said. 😂
10:14 I can't stop hearing "He-man handles" as "He man-handles"
oh god I forgot about the Christmas 'songs'
No it just so bad u fast forward every time that part came up
LOL !! I spit out my morning Cereal . When I heard ... “ he’s grabbing more then he can handle “ 😂
Good to see some goodies from the old days
11:12 DAMIT DOUGH, I was eating...
14:03 I can imagine this as a conversation between sans and papyrus
"You just *shot* my goody-goods!" I tittered at that more that I should have.
I wonder what anybody who hasn’t seen an old nostalgia critic episode will thinks of this
•Chickens8 • They will think its hilarious, like the rest of Doug's videos and become subscribers?
Sometimes I forget what they were like back then
"Because this is what you think of when you think of Christmas, right? People beating the shit out of each other."
Well, to be fair, Black Friday...
I want a Thunder cats Christmas
Elise Me too.
Elise
Same
That would be great - they could climb the tree, gnaw on the lights, and bat the ornaments around the floor
And that's how Mummra saved Christmas.
16:59 - "Young fool - only now at the end, do you understand." 😄
I too, have the power
15:25 to be fair this is every Walmart on Black Friday. It’s…. Kinda close to Christmas? Closer than august, when Walmart starts selling Christmas trees.
So there is a star wars christsmas special?? The ending is menacing....
Oh god.
Be very, very afraid...
Vicente Ortega Rubilar If you haven't seen that review then I have a suggestion fo..RUN BOY RUN. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS RUN
You get to play the best game, what drugs did they buy Mark Hamil with? I vote qualudes.
10:33 insert Grinch joke here!
for those wondering, yes this is a reupload since it says it aired 2009
7:46 Gets me 'every EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!!' LMAO
Please do more reuploads, Doug.
Yes more please
I hope there is more
I mean some people think of Die Hard when it comes to Christmas. So yes beating the shit out of each other is appropriate
He man is the greatest
IT'S RE-UPLOADED BECAUSE IT'S A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!! YOU KNOW THE HOLIDAYS COMING UP SOON.
Imagine nostalgia critic looking at his old videos to see if THEY are nostalgic. What a twist!
something I find funny about skeletor is that his voice actor also did the voice of Gmork from never ending story, imagine if that voice went with skeletor
I suppose Nostalgia Critic made that reference to the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special in the Muppet Family Christmas review, it'd only be fair to give the fans a taste of what he was actually talking about.
8:54 That qualified as a gay joke 😂😂
Uh...so is Skeletor actually not full-on Saturday Morning Cartoon Evil? Because he actually did something kinda decent here, and I'm wondering if that's part of why so many people seem to remember him fondly.
I think the idea is that Christmas is so magical that it can make the most evil of people good.
And yet this is still more entertaining than the “Christmas Tree”
No one talks smack about Mrs. Hopewell.
For some people, their Christmas movie is Polar Express, Rudolph, Charlie Brown, Frosty the Snowman, or even that weird Krampus movie from a couple years ago. Nope. This is MY movie.
When you say Krampus are you talking about the one from 2015? Because the critic did a review on that one this past Christmas now
That moment when you're excited for an old NC episode and feel nostalgic about it!
16:40 is no one talking about He-Man's damn creepy face
Re upload the remaining Studio Ghibli disneycember reviews from 2014
My favorite part of She-Ra has to be the Pegasus’ deep man voice XD
Yeah. When I first heard that in this review I was like LOL what the hell?? Plus it's the mocking of it is like the voice of the horse in Phantom of the Opera
5/10 no shut that door
WHO’S READY FOR THE SHE-RA REBOOT SERIES? Thank you Dreamworks for using the Classic Media library so well!
Scott Sandler
She's getting one!? Hell yes!
I could see that getting the Voltron treatment. Heck, maybe He-man could get it too in the future.
GOD BLESS :D
Don’t get too excited. They want to make it less dark and as they put it, “less gay”
@@xanderm6090 No, it's a little bit more gay.
I highly recommend watching the She ra Netflix reboot, then go watch the original after it. Very amusing.
5:55 I still don't get this joke.
NSPcrazY112 Doug hates the character that got lost, so he was going to celebrate with champagne
I see. It came out of nowhere. It could have benefited from a better setup.
Orco is basically the Jar-Jar Binks of the He Man universe. The character they force in there to be funny or serve a plot convenience, but all they actually do is just make a person cringe.
Is anyone enough of an expert on wine to recognize the Champaigne he's holding? I can't seem to make out the brand name on the label. Maybe I might get it for a special occasion.
16:34 What Orca really wants for Christmas?
He should be questioning his existence.
I'M JEWISH!!!
You don't have to feel guilty about it.
yes my too
Yuya Sakaki Well I’m sorry because I’m German because Of nazis And the holocaust.
Btw way i think you guys are cool
That's an odd(eyes) thing to say
Tom Moozack Marry me.
Doug, I believe I'm familiar with the most of your reviews, but I swear: 6:48 is pure gold and one of your best. OH GOD EVERYTIME THIS HAPPENS I FEEL UNBELIEVABLE PAIN
Fuck, you got me in tears
Man am I glad my first exposure to She-Ra was the Netflix series...
I lost it at Skeletor saying he was Jewish it sounds like something Robot Chicken would do xD
Back when the Nostalgia Critic was actually good. Oh wait, he’s still good 😂
Sometimes the skits are funny.
Thank you!
"Because this is what you think of when you think of Christmas, right? People beating the shit out of each other."
Considering how much drinking goes on at our house during the holidays, I'm genuinely surprised that it isn't.
Who else is watching this for the first time after the new she-ra netflix series came out?
New hordak is a huge improvement.
I started to watch this review after watching the actual He-Man and She-Ra X'mas special.
I HAVE THE POWERRRR
is so freaking iconic lol
