    Holy Christmas! Someone actually made a comic book adaptation to one of the absolute worst holiday films of all time!? …I think the world just blew-up, and I didn’t realize it.

    3:52- That one bit was just like the one type of moment from an episode of The Spoony Experiment with Burton.

    Dropo is to Mars what Pauly Shore is to Earth.

    13:07- …What was in the bong they were smoking from? I'm only asking because I need to add it to my hate list which includes Fox News, The Hilton sisters, and the movie "Skyline."

    14:01- Reminds me of Cindy-Lou from “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”

    20:05- I said it before, and I’ll say it again; Lewis, you and Liz make a great couple.

    Merry Christmas.

    Dropo always reminded me of Rob Schneider, but I can see the Pauly Shore link :)

    Already watched this on blip.tv earlier, great review.

    Never saw the movie nor did I see the MST3K or Cinematic Titanic riffing of it, I did see the Cinemassacre review of the movie though, great review.

    Hard to believe there'd be a comic based on that.

    Good job as usual Linkara.

    There was a comic based upon this abomination?! D:

    Great video Lewis and a Happy Holidays to you too! :D

    Also Patrick Swayze Christmas FTW! (RIP Patrick Swayze)

    Santa vs. aliens?! Best Christmas comic review ever! Why does this exist?!

    Merry Christmas, Linkara!
  • rockybalboa211  - This was awesome Linkara! :D

    First off - Merry Christmas everyone, and may your christmas be totally wizard! :D
    Second - Gary the Stormtrooper is awesome!
    Linkara I found your hat at dillards!
    1:01 - MST3K is awesome.. lol twin peaks is confusing! :D
    1:31 - Linkara's TV is cute! :D
    3:52 - Where has Poyo been the last two months?
    4:46 - Stupid Stupid Watcher lol...
    5:32 - Cows! Linkara Aliens have been stealing cows for years now, or coyotes, could be either one.
    6:49 - OLD MAN VOICE is awesome!
    7:12 - How does the old martian man know what fun is? Wasn't he also one of those children who did not know what fun was?
    (Happy Zodmas -forgot to say earlier)

    The idea I got from the movie is that the old man was around before the children were given teaching boxes. But, come to think of it, I like the idea of him being the last member of a religion that eschewed Martian technology--a Martian Luddite, if you will.

    Great video, Linkara.

    Good to know I am not the only one with overly dorky Christmas traditions! XD

    But seriously, this was a great review. I am shocked that they made a comic out of this movie.

    We all have strange Christmas Traditions. Mine is writing a Christmas Crack Fic. I won't go into details but they tend to be really weird.

    To each their own...

    And of course: Merry Christmas!

    do you post on FF, and if so, what is your handle? I love crack fics.
  • rockybalboa211  - Oh my gosh! :D

    16:10 - Linkara were you ever the voice for the mayor in the powerpuff girls show? Because your voice sounded just like that! :D

    Ahh. Christmas traditions are something I've missed ever since I went off to college. Most of them involve a television, and although I do have one, I have no cable. "A Charlie Brown Christmas", "Rudolph" and the like. Watching them year after year, next to a fire, with homemade popcorn, and with the entire family around was something I miss.

    Thankfully, I have gone back home for Christmas lase year and will this year. This will allow me to not miss the main tradition; watch the 24-hour "A Christmas Story" marathon.

    Gotta love the two feet of snow outside as well.

    Merry Christmas!

    I'm pretty sure that, if you know what to look for, you can find the shows online.

    ...on Amazon or something silly. I would never advocate piracy!!

    lol I just watched MST3K of this for the first time yesterday. So glad I had a point of reference for this.

    I like to call it "Santa Opens Diplomatic Relations with the Martians" or "Santa Claus Annoys the Heck Out of the Martians with Hasbro Product Placement"

    I'm so, so sorry for your sad, deprived life before yesterday...lol
  • Mattr75
    I'm surprised a comic like this exists. What's next, Manos: The Hands of Fate?
  • Black MAYUHN
    Linkara (or Lewis if you prefer me to call you that), this was such a crap day for me but your review made things right again

    Thank you as always

    Redundantly, this comic was redundant.
    Also...
    THIS COMIC SUCKS
  • Lucia32
    I was really disappointed with the movie. When I hear that Santa "conquered the Martians", I imagined jolly old St. Nick growing into a 100 foot tall colossus and stomping the crap out of their cities.

    Happy holidays to you too Linkara :)
  • rowdycmoore

    Aw, they left out the best line of the film: "The people of Earth do not realize that Santa Claus has been kidnapped by Martians."

    Okay, granted, this comic was written before Tom Servo helped make that line famous...
  • Tsubasaga
    i only knew of that movie thanks to the Cinemassacre review but i love your review even more. Good work

    I'm glad I am not the only one that likes to watch this movie(MST3k version) every Christmas.
  • DuosAngel

    Great review as always Linkara. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is one of the few MST3K episodes I've seen. I can't believe they made a comic out of this movie.

    I so wasn't expecting you to use a clip from Spoony's SWAT 4 LP. I may have to go watch some of that now.
  • kyrieeleison

    OMG There is a comic. *facepalm*

    Nice to know I'm not the only one who watches MST3K: SCCTM every year at Christmas. Great Chochem voice!

    BOMAR DO GOOD!
    BOMAR Wish You Merry Christmas!

    Martianmellow lol, yeah I think you'd know how to make a punny correction XD.

    Wait what did Liz say at the end.

    Merry Christmas Linkara :D.

    Bomar am great martian!
  • QuestionTheMajority

    I'm amused that Voldar, the man without a sense of humor, gets the punchline right to the joke, but Santa Claus, the embodiment of all joy and cheer in the world, screws it up.

    Great vid, Linkara. And here's to ya for Christmas! Have a festive one!
  • dmh3000

    I think I would pay to see/read a story where Santa becomes all bad ass and tries to conquer some Martians for real. And he could have a giant gun, just like Superman: At Earth's End.

    Though it'd only work if it didn't take itself seriously.

    Happy Christmas Lewis! Hope you and Liz really enjoy it!

    This comic looks like glorious cheese. Things based on such movies can never be hated because the movie it just stupidly brillant. Like you said, you have to laugh, or you have no soul.

    Merry Christmas Linkara and Liz. I wish Patrick Swayze Christmas would become a standard. Die Hard just proves that a great action sequence does indeed belong in Christmas. The usual songs are so dated and boring!
  • jalford

    They could have a Santa for every planet like on Sailor Moon. "Santa Venus, Santa Mars, Santa Mercury, Santa Jupiter..." Or even better yet, have a Santa Claus Corps like the Green Lanterns.
  • PLA
    Nah, definitely cosmic sentai material. A corps sounds bland.

    Sooo, Santa Earth is the red santa and... has a reindeer zord?
  • Lucia32
    "Alpha, The Grinch has escaped! Recruit a team of jolly old men with attitude!"

    I wonder if my dad could enter the Santa Rangers. He's an old man with attitude. Albeit a bad one.
