If you know even a fraction of what a hippopotamus is capable of, you will realize that would have been a far worse prospect in practice considering how much more violent they are compared to gorillas.
My favourite part about this is it doesn't turn into an argument where one person insists something absurd and the other battles against it. This is a conversation between two peers who are on the EXACT same page and despite both of them honestly trying to reason against it they agree that they cannot break the rules of the Kringle Tomes. That is hysterical. That's 100X funnier then if Twinkle was played as a straight man who at every avenue tried to reject the ridiculousness of the situation.
I like the idea of someone being too nice being a legitimate concern for Santa, because they can then ask for whatever nonsense they want and Santa HAS to give it.
Loving the idea that he spent all year being one of the three nicest children on the entire planet all as a long con to get a gorilla to terrorize his school with, or some other ill intention hijinks. Gotta respect the hustle.
No! See even his motivation for the gorilla is pure… he seeks to restore the Mantle of Order left vacant and empty by the wrongful and untimely death of Harambe and to thus restore this world to its proper timeline. For all our sakes, may he succeed
Did they go to the jungle to capture a gorilla? Or did they somehow use Christmas magic to *craft* a gorilla in their toy factory? I’m not sure which is funnier or more absurd. Either way, they gave Keith a great Christmas.
I know everyone's talking about the Implications but realistically kids just do this sort of thing, and I appreciate how in-character it is for a kid to ask for an animal they probably just like, while having no idea what caring for an animal actually means. To me this just looks like Keith has a special interest, i mean look how excited he is in the credits! Great animation
Plot twist: The gorilla is given to Keith, and instead of violently ripping the child's head and limbs off, it is instead infected by Keith's absolute good will and becomes his friend for life
0:22 I honestly thought this was gonna go into reasons about how Santa can’t give a whole bunch of presents for all these messed up reasons. Just going with the joke of Santa being a terrible person, but where it went is a lot more wholesome and funnier than what I thought it was going to be.
Im glad this wasnt something where the elf was in trouble. This was a shared moment of genuine mutual concern between a boss and a trusted advisor. They both want what's best for the kid (not a gorilla).
Sooo good, and just the right vibe, where this is totally family friendly, but also has implications worthy of the fans of the darkest adult animations. What a crowd pleaser!
I absolutely ADORE how wholesome this short was. I was fully expecting something mean spirited, some joke about Santa having a bunch of the PS5's destroyed to create artificial scarcity or something, but no, instead it's Santa trying to work with the brand of absolute ridiculousness that is the wish list of a young child because that kid has been so good that he deserves his Equatorial African Silverback gorilla. It's a rare brand of wholesome comedy and I love it so much. The picture of Keith at the end was the cherry on top.
Well, given Santa’s magical capabilities maybe he can magic the gorilla into always being friendly and docile??? So, you know, poor Keith doesn’t get maimed immediately..?
Huh...Santa could have just given him a certificate saying he symbolically adopted a silverback gorilla. Not sure if that counts as a loophole. Let's hope it's not a massacre on Christmas day.
i just wished that alistocrat got some more attention on youtube. His channel is SO underrated. Like look at this masterpiece. Where else would you be able to hear the sentence "we have to give him the gorilla".
I felt like I was watching a scene from a BBC sketch comedy show and Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade were the voices! I almost thought you just dubbed over their voices! (This means to say that this was really good!)
Santa would be placed at the top of the naughty list if he doesn't give Keith his Silverback Gorilla. Have you seen how GOOD of a boy Keith has been? Merriam-Webster just has a picture of Keith under the definition of Good now!
The fact that most modern animations show saint nick as depressed old man since people are asking for more advance hardware but this version of him is my favorite since he stayed with the modern times! good job
This is a the backstory of a cartoon series about Keith and his gorilla friend. Like, why does this random kid living in the suburbs have a silver back gorilla? He asked for it for Christmas, of course.
I could genuinely watch a whole series on this, the voice acting, script and animation are all amazing! Makes me wonder what the other top two kids would think knowing Keith got a gorilla. Also, I wanna know who’s writing the Kringle tomes, like who’s the higher up compared to Santa
No what you do is you take a select few elves to open a sanctuary in Africa and adopt an entire family or 2 with coordinates so that when he's old enough he can make the trip himself to see all the gorillas he's adopted who are now under Krinkle protection. Then you give him a super squishy super comfortable silver back gorilla life-size plushy
This feels like a mix of worthikids and some recent popular cartoons like gravity falls. I hope this isn't insulting to you, this is literally the best compliment I could personally give. really like the vibes
Idk where you got the audio… or if you did it… but a fucking master class in animation. The style, the mouth sync, the movements, the expressions. chefs kiss my dude. Awesome work. I to see more.
I guess you'd have to sponsor one, you can give him a paper that says it's his gorrila but it's like owning a star, or more like a bench with your name on it, you can't take it home, and it does bench things, but in a way it's yours, you helped create and bring it into the world
in that credits shot, keith looks really surprised that he got the gorilla. my theory is that kieth, growing older, was becoming unsure if santa was real or not, so he put a gorilla on his wishlist to test it.
The problem is that if you don't give the top 3 good kids their presents, they might crash out and stop believing in Santa and become bad kids forever. Can't risk it. I would have gotten him a baby gorilla, though.
He could do like a genie does with wishes and mess up the gift somehow. For the kid's own safety, of course. He could just pick up a dead gorilla somewhere and give it to the kid
The animation is strangely familiar to me. It reminds me of Regular Show, but also of a children's book series that I can't remember the name of, but I recall seeing them in my school's library.
I'll be honest, any time I see any media have Santa talk about PS5s or game consoles in general, I immediately flinch because I worry the punchline is "Kids want this stupid expensive stuff" and i am SO GLAD it was not the case. I could not have begun to see the real punchline.
And after that faithful Christmas morning, Keith's rule became an added amendment to the ancient Kringle tombes. No child of the top three shall be bestowed a wild beastie. Keith's parents sued the local zoo for allowing one of their Gorrilas to escape and kill their son on that fateful Christmas morning.
not gonna lie The best thing I've watched this month and i watched a lot of really good things. This is legitimately my favorite one . Not lying. Actually my favorite. Am i autistic? I like watched the penguin this month and it was really good and like tmc e3 came out today and technically i should like that more...but i love this instead... i was reading berserk right now for god sake ... how is this my favorite thing?
I really like this sort of, newspaper comic style mixed in with the usual internet cartoon style. It's so expressive, and i like the stripes and lines, it reminds me of the smurfs in a way! Good job man!
Conspiracy theory. Keith was the goodest boy all year just to see if he could ask for something so absurd he'd have to be given it to prove that Santa is real.
Here is my thought on why Keith wanted the gorilla. Especially since he specified like the information about the species he is a nice kid and doesn’t want any ulterior motive to this. But instead wants to be a zoologist or zookeeper working with gorillas.
I would argue that the act wanting to rip a species from its native environment would be considered naughty and would knock Keith down several points on the list
They're gonna give him Gorilla Grod by mistake, but Keith's inherent kindness and goodness saves Grodd and gives this kid a powerful bodyguard for life. You can only guess what a power-hungry man like Luthor or a stone-cold psychopath like Killer Frost could do with such inherent goodness.
Is there a part 2 like The Beethoven movies where the boy has to hide the gorilla but is soon discoved by the family, and everyone falls in love with the gorilla except the dad who's a huge neat freak, but soon learns the lesson of Friendship ❤?
And I thought wanting a hippopotamus for Christmas was absurd.
Moo Deng!

I COMPLETELY AGREE; THAT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE
I didn't realize where the relief came after watching the video until I read this MAN you are so right
Keith proceeded to send the gorilla to a wildlife sanctuary in order to help in the conservation of wild population.
And a sigh of relief swept the North Pole like a cold arctic wind
Such a good boy…
Missed opportunity to have him check all 17 Kringle tomes twice
That's like checking like 34 times

Yeah, cause he's not making it to next year. Heck, he's not making it to New Years.

St. Nick's hands are tied, Keith is simply HIM.
Keith is so HIM he literally sent santa on a panic to get him his gorilla. Keith really is that guy.
Keith has his blood tested, turns out he's 100% HIMalayan.
At first I thought Keith wanted like, a million PS5s, I could not have prepared myself for his actual list
I thought that too
that moment when you run into a problem so absurd that no human being could have ever come up with a contingency plan for it.
Why does it feel like this minute and a half goofy cartoon animation is more entertaining than most of the movies you see in the cinema
because it is
"We have to give him the gorila"

I don't know why but the focus on "equatorial Africa" in that line kills me

This is when Santa dispatches his secret spy elves to lay traps to temp Keith to do something naughty so Santa can bump him down to number 4.
Great cartoon, but it does make you wonder what would have happen if Keith was an Orphan and wanted his parents back to life. lol 😁
Something unethical would have happened.

Is it?...
I'm not up to day on the style of rules and countries but, I need a silver lining for this one please
@UsernotFound2018 George from Hugo's mind palace said that
Keith is just a good boy who has watched too much Tarzan
I love Santa's magic painting that changes into whatever he's talking about.
This feels so much like it could be a serialized show. The humor, the plot line, the art. Amazing.
I would argue that the act wanting to rip a species from its native environment would be considered naughty and would knock Keith down several points on the list
Imagine sending him that as a note with a consolation present.
I swear, Keith better not make this another Harambe situation
General Smoochington has been Rehomed
On the bright side the gorilla will make sure that the kid won't be a problem next year.
I need a sequel on Christmas day of how they got the gorilla and what happens when they deliver him
They're gonna give him Gorilla Grod by mistake, but Keith's inherent kindness and goodness saves Grodd and gives this kid a powerful bodyguard for life. You can only guess what a power-hungry man like Luthor or a stone-cold psychopath like Killer Frost could do with such inherent goodness.

...... a.... taxidermy gorilla?.... a faux taxidermy gorilla? I dunno. Its a lose lose situation no matter what
This was a brilliant subversion of the bit, and i loved how it made me feel warmy tingle on the inside.
Just like Keiths new gorilla Richard.
This has worthikids vibe of animation. Really good.
someone sent this to me when it was posted an hour ago, I love seeing the likes go up slowly. It's such a cute animation and so cleverly done!!
I watched this animation merrily.
A great video, indubitably.
No way Kieth put a reference sheet for his gorilla like he’s buying an art comm 😭
*also the omnichord playing really pleasantly surprised me*
Why do I feel worthikids inspired this animation style?
I’m getting some Worthikids vibes, also I would love to see how this ends
Can't he just give a slip saying he own or adopted an silverback gorilla.
I like how the decree rhymed that's a nice touch
