1 | When Stan gives him a gun for Christmas, Steve accidentally shoots the real Santa, leading to an intense battle for the family's lives. |
2 | ---- |
3 | !!Tropes: |
4 | * ArchEnemy: Santa is firmly cemented as the Smith family's by the end of the episode. |
5 | * BestialityIsDepraved: Once the North Pole army withdraws, Bob Todd offers to serve up one of Santa's reindeer for dinner, right after making love to its corpse. |
6 | * CigarChomper: Santa lands during the battle and uses Rudolph's nose to light a cigar as he inspects the carnage. |
7 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: Stan thinks a pair of safety goggles will keep Steve safe even after he fired wildly. |
8 | * CrazyPrepared: Bob Todd has an impressive arsenal for a hillbilly, which is barely enough for the Smith family to ward off the attack. |
9 | * ExactWords: Stan promises Francine that he won't give Steve a gun for ''Christmas''. The scene then cuts to Stan giving him a gun while saying "Happy Wednesday!" |
10 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: After Stan and Jeff make amends while the family is hopelessly outnumbered, he asks his son-in-law if he'd like to go out and die as a family. |
11 | * FriendOrIdolDecision: Santa tempts Jeff to come to his side because he's a good boy, even offering the polar bear helmet from ''[[Literature/HisDarkMaterials The Golden Compass]]'' that he wanted. Jeff initially seems to take him up on it, then uses the helmet to stab Santa in the side. |
12 | * InfiniteAmmo: Subverted. Despite the Smiths firing off hundreds of rounds, they do eventually run out of ammo and have to resort to hand-to-hand combat. |
13 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Deconstructed; Santa has every right to be mad at Steve and Stan for killing him. However, not only was it was an accident, but Steve is a minor. He wants to slaughter the rest of the Smiths too just for helping hide his body. He also could have just gone to the police instead of seeking brutal vigilante; he willingly sacrifices many of his elves and reindeer for his own personal vendetta. |
14 | * MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Francine tries to reassure Hayley that Stan will eventually get used to Jeff because it took a while for him to get used to Roger, and "the other guy." It then cuts to Klaus at home, alone, with an annoyed expression that the family has forgotten him. |
15 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: The family goes to hide at Bob Todd's mountain cabin, but Jeff writes a letter to the North Pole telling Santa where to deliver their presents. This allows Santa to descend on the Smiths with a large army. |
16 | * PaperThinDisguise: Subverted. Bob Todd immediately sees Roger as an alien in a wig. |
17 | * RagingStiffie: Both Stan and Steve get one while fighting the elves. |
18 | -->'''Steve:''' ''(shoots his gun)'' Is it weird that I have a boner? |
19 | -->'''Stan:''' It'd be weird if you didn't! |
20 | * RealAfterAll: Stan and Steve initially believe he shot a MallSanta, but are puzzled to find no matches in the CIA's database. As it turns out, it was the ''real'' Santa. |
21 | * ShoutOut: |
22 | ** When he fires the gun for the first time, Steve's glasses are blown off by a ricocheting bullet. He then says [[Film/AChristmasStory he nearly shot his eye out]]. |
23 | ** Santa is shown recuperating in a [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Bacta tank]]. |
