I think I should probably reply in bulk, otherwise I will flood your dashboards with the same damn picture again and again. ^^

My curiosity, as usual, got the better of me, and I found the original on Youtube. I laughed so hard I started coughing and then crying and I had to pause it just after the 14 minute mark as I thought I was going to tinkle. I can’t believe this hasn’t been shown on Turner Classic Movies here in North America.
I can totally see why it’s a holiday classic. Even though it’s screamingly funny it has a very melancholy underlying theme.
Yes, the mix between funny and melancholy is great, especially for a holiday. Although, it was originally aired as a fill-in. It became quite popular after being regularly used as a fill-in on New Year’s Eve.

Now there is a classic I haven’t seen or heard of in years!
Well, I think that’s the matter with regional holiday classics. ^^

Here in Denmark it’s sent New Years Eve. Black and White version in English. It’s amazing and funny and perfect every year.
New Year’s Eve, too? Well, our countries are pretty close, so it makes a lot of sense, actually! And yes, it is perfect for holidays! We still watch it every years, my mother now for probably 40 years, and still like it. Although we know all the lines by heart by now.
