Join Mr. Hankey for the funniest Christmas album of them all - By: Daniel Jolley, 08 May 2004
I don't know about you, but I try to keep the spirit of South Park Christmasin my heart every day of the year, & nothing keeps the Yule log burning quite like Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics. Yes, this is an album for all seasons of the year, a collection full of good cheer, good laughs, & of course pooh. Here are eighteen - count 'em, eighteen - South Park Christmas classics to keep your heart warm, your funny bone tickled, & your bowels regular.

Get the party started with the classic early 50s version that started the whole phenomenon, Mr. Hankey the Christmas Pooh. If that doesn't get youin the South Park Christmas spirit, Mr. Garrison's energetic rendition of Merry F'ing Christmas will - unless you're one of those dirty heathens who don't celebrate the season. You'll join Mr. Hatin applauding this modern classic. Let's not forget the true meaning of Christmas, though - close your eyes & listen to Eric Cartman's beautiful version of Oh Holy Night - you can almost hear the angels' uh, something. Juan Swartz & the South Park Children's Choir try to bring you down by pointing out how we will all someday be Dead, Dead, Dead, but leave it to Mr. Mackey to get the eggnog nogging again with his beautiful Carol of the Bells, mmmkay. It's important we don't forget all the little Jewish children (even though Kyle's Mom has a history of ruining Christmas for everyone else), for, as Kyle Broslofski sings, it's hard to be The Lonely Jew on Christmas. For everyone else, though, it's a blast. Heck, even Shelly Marsh takes the time to sing the ditty-like I Saw Three Ships, although Stan & his turd friends don't make it easy for her. Then Stan Marsh & Wendy Testaburger team up to sing It Happenedin Sun Valley.

It's time to get serious now, though. Who isn't moved to tears by Adolf Hitler's heartfelt rendition of O Tannenbaum? Even Satan is moved by it, usheringin Christmas Timein Hell; soon the Kennedys, Hitler, Mao Tse-tung, & even Michael Landon are joiningin the South Park Christmas spirit. But it's time to return our focus to the reason for the season. Chef emerges to lay down a smooth groove on his beautiful rendition of that beloved Christmas classic, What the Hell Child is This? Of course, you can't have a Christmas album without the song Santa Claus is On His Way, sung the way only Mr. Hankey can sing it. Then Eric Cartman reminds us that Christmas isn't Christmas without a Swiss Colony Beef Log, & he really rocks the house when he decks the halls with boughs of Swiss Colony. At this point, the South Park Children's Choir returns to sing Hark the Herald Angels Sing - they don't sound like angels, I'm afraid. But what of poor Kyle? He's fine, playing Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel - this is a great medley featuring the entire Broslofski family along with Eric & Stan. The next track sort of speaks for itself,in a muffled sort of way, as Mr. Hankey & Kenny McCormick team up to sing the Most Offensive Xmas Song Ever. After Mr. Ose sings We Three Kings, Mr. Hankey, Stan, Kyle, & Eric close out the album with perennial favorite Have a Merry Little Christmas.

Obviously, if you are easily offended or have never understood what South Park is all about, you won't enjoy this album. They put that Explicit Lyrics sticker on there for a reason, you know. Those who can't stomach hilarious irreverencein their Christmas celebrations mayin fact, after hearing this album, start some kind of anti-South Park campaign, so I would have to implore such people (and you know who you are) from listening to Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics. Let all the rest of us have our harmless little fun.

Merry Christmas!!! - By: , 18 Feb 2004
This is the only album you will need at christmas time. Cartman getting words wrong, Mr Garrison being bitter, Chef giving good lovin'...fantastic. There are a few traditional songs on there that i tend to skip, but the funny stuff (ie - dreidel dreidel dreidel, Merry F#####g Christmas, o holy night, dead dead dead) is really funny!
This has all you need for the festive season. Humour, Festive cheer & sentiment. or do i mean sediment?
