''Vazelina Hjulkalender'' is a Christmas revue made in 2000 starring the Norwegian band Music/VazelinaBilopphoggers.
The story begins when SantaClaus falls through a hole in the ozone layer and ends up in the wrecking yard. His sled is broken, his reindeer have run off and he's suffering from [[EasyAmnesia a small memory loss.]] The car wreckers must help Santa build a new sled, and find the magical wheels needed to power the sled. Said wheels have been left in the past, so the wreckers have to use a magical time-traveling glove to retrieve them. Charging the glove and using it correctly turns out to be easier said than done.
They must also deal with [[BigBad Blazerfjell Panorama Apartments]], who wish to get rid of the wrecking yard because it ruins the view from the hotel.

!!Tropes present in ''Vazelina Hjulkalender'':
* AccidentalHug: Between [[spoiler: Høgger'n and Inga when they finally got the sled to work.]]
* AnalogyBackfire:
--> '''Høgger'n:''' I see the light at the end of the tunnel.\\
'''Santa:''' It's probably an oncoming train that you see.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: After his time travels, Høgger'n describes what time period he visited and tells something about it. Normally, this is fine, but he once got burned and explained that he had landed on Ra, the boat that Thor Heyerdahl set fire to. Actually, he set fire to Tigris.
* ArtisticLicenseStatistics: The wheels and the steering wheel of the sled have to be placed correctly, otherwise the sled won't work. One of the wreckers claims that there are "several thousand combinations". Actually, there are only 120 (5!). [[labelnote:*]]If it mattered when a wheel was placed upside-down, there would be 3840 ((2^5)*5!) combinations, but this is never mentioned.[[/labelnote]]
* BookEnds: The song "Hjul-jul i jul" is played in the first episode [[spoiler: and the last part of the finale.]]
* CatchPhrase:
** Høgger'n: "Kvinnfolk og tomflasker er det verste jeg veit."[[labelnote:*]][[HeManWomanHater Women]] and empty bottles are the worst things I know.[[/labelnote]] and "Kyss meg midt på kardangen!" [[labelnote:*]]Kiss me in the middle of the Cardan joint![[/labelnote]]
** When [[CloudCuckooLander Hans-Preben]] says something, it's "Hva?" [[labelnote:*]]What?[[/labelnote]], "Ja, selvfølgelig" [[labelnote:*]]Yes, of course[[/labelnote]], a ParrotExposition of something Hans-Fredrik just said, or an announcement on changes in the stock market. [[spoiler: This is subverted in the final episode.]]
* ChildProdigy: Downplayed with Guri and Ola. Most of the time, they come up with solutions that the adults were just too stupid to think of, but some of their suggestions actually show quite a bit of knowledge and intelligence.

The story begins when SantaClaus falls through a hole in the ozone layer and ends up in the wrecking yard. His sled is broken, his reindeer have run off and he's suffering from [[EasyAmnesia a small memory loss.]] The car wreckers must help Santa build a new sled, and find the magical wheels needed to power the sled. Said wheels have been left in the past, so the wreckers have to use a magical time-traveling glove to retrieve them. Charging the glove and using it correctly turns out to be easier said than done.
They must also deal with [[BigBad Blazerfjell Panorama Apartments]], who wish to get rid of the wrecking yard because it ruins the view from the hotel.

!!Tropes present in ''Vazelina Hjulkalender'':
* AccidentalHug: Between [[spoiler: Høgger'n and Inga when they finally got the sled to work.]]
* AnalogyBackfire:
--> '''Høgger'n:''' I see the light at the end of the tunnel.\\
'''Santa:''' It's probably an oncoming train that you see.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: After his time travels, Høgger'n describes what time period he visited and tells something about it. Normally, this is fine, but he once got burned and explained that he had landed on Ra, the boat that Thor Heyerdahl set fire to. Actually, he set fire to Tigris.
* ArtisticLicenseStatistics: The wheels and the steering wheel of the sled have to be placed correctly, otherwise the sled won't work. One of the wreckers claims that there are "several thousand combinations". Actually, there are only 120 (5!). [[labelnote:*]]If it mattered when a wheel was placed upside-down, there would be 3840 ((2^5)*5!) combinations, but this is never mentioned.[[/labelnote]]
* BookEnds: The song "Hjul-jul i jul" is played in the first episode [[spoiler: and the last part of the finale.]]
* CatchPhrase:
** Høgger'n: "Kvinnfolk og tomflasker er det verste jeg veit."[[labelnote:*]][[HeManWomanHater Women]] and empty bottles are the worst things I know.[[/labelnote]] and "Kyss meg midt på kardangen!" [[labelnote:*]]Kiss me in the middle of the Cardan joint![[/labelnote]]
** When [[CloudCuckooLander Hans-Preben]] says something, it's "Hva?" [[labelnote:*]]What?[[/labelnote]], "Ja, selvfølgelig" [[labelnote:*]]Yes, of course[[/labelnote]], a ParrotExposition of something Hans-Fredrik just said, or an announcement on changes in the stock market. [[spoiler: This is subverted in the final episode.]]
* ChildProdigy: Downplayed with Guri and Ola. Most of the time, they come up with solutions that the adults were just too stupid to think of, but some of their suggestions actually show quite a bit of knowledge and intelligence.
* DumbMuscle: Aspic and Ruslebiffen. Inga lampshades their stupidity at some point by telling them that they don't need to ''pretend'' to be idiots.
* EasyAmnesia: When Santa hurts his head in the sledge crash, he gets this. [[WrongGenreSavvy Johnsen]] tried to cure him by hitting in the head, but it doesn't work. [[spoiler:Later, a TapOnTheHead restores Santa's memories.]]
