I'm glad that I bought this DVD. I'm a huge Larry the Cable Guy fan. I'll watch everything with him in it. I'm sorry to say that this Christmas special is better than the ones that you see on TV today.

This is a humorous christmas special. There is a roast of Santa Claus, various comics and actors play characters like the three wise men and Lisa Lampinelli as Mrs. Claus.

So this one is not for the kids. There are many kid friendly characters that drive adults crazy so if you got a chuckle out of all those bits where adults beat up Barney the Dinosaur then you might like this.

If you are an adult who gets tired of the holiday season or have Christmas burnout this could be great therapy for you. This is an a humorous anti-Christmas special in the tradition of Bad Santa, South Park's Mr Hanky - comic relief not sophisticated high brow comedy.

Larry also does a hilarious skit about taking a politically correct all inclusive holiday photo - funny stuff.

First off - this DEFINITELY NOT FOR CHILDREN. Then again, not much of Larry's work is for children.

With that being said, this is a funny video. It is a take off of all the Christmas specials that were run in the 1960's, 1970's and somewhat into the 1980's. There is some crude humor, but it was nothing more than what I have seen out of Larry before (such as The Health Inspector).

It is not politically correct which is another reason I loved it. If you can't laugh at yourself along with laughing at others, please skip this video.

I have definitely bought this video, added it to my Christmas collection, and my child won't be watching it for many years to come.

I bought this dvd for my daughter and son-in-law because they were there in person when they recorded it. I watched it on TV and enjoyed the show myself. Mr. Git-er-done got it done. He came through and you will have some laughs.

i like larry and all but this special was lame and very crude, it was a total waste of viewing time. relying on crude jokes and not funny ones they should've scraped this special all together and burned it. i expected more of larry being clean and fun for a christmas special, i guess he and his writers were scraping the bottom of barrel for laughs cause they're were none. but uglyness and mean sprited against the jolly one.

Please be aware this show is not appropriate for children. It's got jokes about Santa Claus having sex with Mrs. Claus. It's got almost-naked strippers shown close-up. It's got language that could get someone on Santa's naughty list. As far as the show itself goes, there are some laughs to be had although most of it is pretty tasteless. Maybe it's just me, but it seems a Christmas show ought to be cleaner? If you want to see some really good Christmas shows, get The Office seasons 2 and 3. Each of those seasons has an excellent Christmas episode you'll probably want to watch over and over.
