*** That was proven untrue per Debra Wilson, [[https://www.polygon.com/2020/12/24/22196527/rapsittie-street-kids-believe-in-santa-cast-crew-making-of who confirmed that it was written and recorded like that.]]

** Because this was set in 2002. Trust me, this was ''super'' common at the time - the idea was that people would put on coats when it was cold.

* How did the teddy bear ''specifically'', of all the trash that was presumably in the dumpster, end up on a random car in the junkyard with no other trash in sight (except for the cars themselves, which presumably were not present in the dumpster)? The implications are either that each piece of trash from the dumpster was placed in a different random spot (which would be a pointless waste of time) or that the teddy bear was the only thing in the dumpster (possible, if unlikely, but wouldn't it be dumped in a general trash pile instead of with the cars?)

** As Creator/PlatypusComix explained in their [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/darkvault/misfits/misfit60.html article on the special]], the voice acting is one of the first things done in a typical North American cartoon. When the actors were hired, the script and the concept art were the only things done by that point; they couldn't know the [[DerangedAnimation animation]] would turn out the way it did. Both script and art weren't that great, though, so it's still likely they were [[MoneyDearBoy only in it for the money]].

* My biggest question is who came up with this idea in the first place. Honestly, there was actual potential here for something great. The cast and animators were all very experienced. So, what in the hell happened?
