    According to the Star Wars Holiday Special, Chewbacca spends years of his life abandoning his wife, son, and father to go flying around the galaxy getting into loads of trouble with some mafia affiliated smuggler named Han Solo. Solid father figure there.

    One of the weirdest darkest Christmas episodes ever was on the UK comedy "The Goodies".
    The Goodies are celebrating Christmas Eve, only to find out the world will blow up at midnight.
    The rest of the episode is them reflecting on life, death and trying to squeeze one last Christmas in before midnight. It is both dark and funny.

    I love "The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus." It is by far my favorite Rankin-Bass holiday cartoon. In a similar, but non-holiday vein, there is a 1985 claymation movie called "The Adventure of Mark Twain" staring Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, and Becky Thatcher stowing away on Samuel Clemen's airship as he tries to meet up with Haley's Comet.

    The reason why Mark is wearing tons of makeup is because he had been in a motorcycle accident and had to have work done on his face. It was still healing and they had to really cake on the makeup to help cover up what happened.

    One of the weirdest I remember was the Bill n’ Opus cartoon, A Wish for Wings That Work. It was chock full of weirdness, such as Opus (a penguin) going to a support group for flightless birds, Robin Williams (working under a pseudonym) voicing a distraught kiwi divorcee screaming lines like “Suck up an albatross!” and Dustin Hoffman playing a cross-dressing cockroach. There’s a running gag where Opus’ butt keeps falling off. There’s a trio of ducks that talk like the Three Stooges for no apparent reason. In the end, Opus rescues Santa from drowning. Because he’s a penguin. It’s funny, but, man is it strange.

    I love Santa Clause the Movie, but man is it weird! The beginning is a magical fairy tale about a man and his wife who DIE in a blizzard, only to be resurrected into Santa! But seriously, the sets, the storytelling, etc. is magical and whimsical... and then the 2nd half is a bizarre 1980's fever dream. Of course I watched it over and over as a kid, lol.

    Thanks for making this - it brought back so many memories.
    The Star Wars special is so bad I've never been able to watch it in one sitting.
    I remember seeing most of these growing up. I was just old enough to dodge the TMNT one. Those concert style costumes were weird - I always thought they looked bad when compared to the movie versions.
    I still might have a McDonalds / Santa Clause the Movie book somewhere. They gave them away with Happy Meals or sold them as a movie promotion. I remember it was suppose to be a big hit and so far as I recall it flopped hard. It was so bad.

    I thought Elmo Saves Christmas was pretty weird. I guess mainly because it wasn't a take-off on A Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life, or Gift of the Magi. And it takes a pretty daring look at what the world might be like if it literally became Christmas every day. Pretty deep stuff for the Sesame Street crown to process, but overall pretty well done.

    the animated The Nanny christmas special is nuts, and a classic, majority of SOUTH PARK Christmas specials, Mark Hamill as in a car accident and had facial reconstructive surgery, he was coated/masked in makeup to hide scars, bruising. they should have waited to do the special or not done it at all, but, it's legendary for all wrong reasons, and, 1 fun challenge to sit through
