The main reason the game was so rushed was because of this fricking commercial. Atari knew that the big video game season would be Xmas, and they couldn't wait another year to release a game, so they had the developer of the game put together something in 6 weeks. Mind you- it takes 6 MONTHS to put together and test a regular 2600 cartridge. Remind me to tell you the story of how the developer was approached to do ET the next time I see ya, Brad... that is if you don't know it already, of course. Reply to this

Ah, you're familiar with HSW. I am not surprised. Have you seen his "Once Upon Atari" documentary? Really cool stuff. I think it's available to see for free at IGN or something.
To tell you the truth, I was also quite patient with the game. My brother and I would play it all the time (*without* instructions) and we found out the point of the game through trial and error. Granted, we never won the game on any other level than 3 (without the FBI agents and... scientists?) but we thought it was a decent adventure game given its limitations.

Very good crossover bit with this show and the CS elves review. Jerrid was pretty funny here.
The episode was good, but the blood on Jillian's hands was a bit much. If they cleaned off the star, why wouldn't she clean off her hands? It's like the scene in "Vacation" when Clark Griswold sees the torn rope hanging off the back bumper of his station wagon. The rope the dog was tied to before Griswold took off driving hours ago. Originally, there was going to be a streak of red down the road leading up to the back of car with the dog off screen. That would have have been horrifying, not funny.
The blood on her hands made this even darker and more gross than it already was. I do like "80s Dan", though. It's my favorite sitcom behind All In The Family and Red Dwarf. I just was taken aback by Crabtree's ass blood on Jillian's hands. Why didn't you put some brownies and choclate pudding in that blood for good measure? Reply to this

Yes, thank you, I know what the "Vacation" movies are, and those scenes are very funny.

I didn't say it was the same. The point is, you don't have to go for the gore to get the funny. And at least the blood streak in Vaction would have made sense. It doesn't make sense here. So, they get the star out of Mrs. Crabtree's ass. Dan cleans off the star and puts it on the tree (which would take about 5 to ten minutes.

Yes, thank you, I know what the "Vacation" movies are, and those scenes are very funny. My point is that adding blood to someone's hands for an ass joke is not the same as adding a streak of blood down the pavement to show that a dog has been dragged to death. That would have been too much. The 80's Dan bit though was hilarious.
Reply to this
I didn't say it was the same. The point is, you don't have to go for the gore to get the funny. And at least the blood streak in Vaction would have made sense. It doesn't make sense here. So, they get the star out of Mrs. Crabtree's ass. Dan cleans off the star and puts it on the tree (which would take about 5 to ten minutes. Meanwhile Jillian's character is standing there with blood from someone's ass on her hands? It's a long way to go for a joke, is all I am saying.

WOW. I have to say, that was brilliant, and an extremely dark turn for the show. This may just be the most twisted X-mas special I have seen in a while...
Reply to this
I was thinking about this episode. It's way better this way. Maybe 80's day shouldn't be about reviews after all. The characters are good enough, the jokes are funny, the promise is ludicrous enough to work...

Coming to a website near you in 2012; 80s Dan: Da Movie.

Virgin Mary Motherucker! Where's my tree star?
Wow, that looks a lot like the neighborhood my best friend Shanna used to live in.
"I will shove you up my ass!" lol.
I half expected Jillian to present Jared with a razor that says "Jesus shaves."
Jesus Christ, that Kodak toys commercial is nightmare fuel.

Awesome Hooker with a heart of gold reference...and crossovers.Sarah Lewis is oscar gold in this.

Great Special! The show has come a long way from the first episode and keeps getting better! It is definitely the first Christmas special I know of that has tree toppers up people's asses and Femmy Nazi who just wants company to watch "Salon Kitty". Sarah's drunk acting was awesome and I cheered when Jerrid showed up. Job well done Team Stoned Gremlin!

That was the funniest thing I've seen all month. I damn near got the hiccups just from the opening line by Smitty.

I was wondering if that interruption in Elves was ever going to get explained...

Just wanted to wait for the right time to write this saying, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAD and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
My present for you today is me watching more of your videos. It's a gift that lasts a whole year.

This is hilarious—I love the cross over to all the other series.I love this series.

I like the touch of giving Neo Nazi Jerrid the Not-See Cola bottle. At least, I think thats what that was.

"Present Dan". Brilliant.
Reply to this
Really love this show. The unwavering optimism of 80's Dan makes me so happy! Brilliant that he had to dress up as the Snob for Halloween to be even remotely negative about anything.

If Kung Tai Ted would learn to tie his belt properly, it wouldn't fall down when he is running away.

Thaaaaaaaaank you for the one christmas special that is not annoying!

Hey 80'z Dan, correct me if I'm wrong, but Sound Effect for the Gun shot was taken from Resident Evil (the game, of course), right?
Reply to this
I was wondering in Snob who was at the door. YAY 80's DAN!
Reply to this
I knew there had to be something to the knock at the door in the Elves review; I wouldn't expect you to have kept that in there if it was just one of your friends at the door, and not do another take. And as others have said, it seems like there's been more thought put into your characters' universe than you've given yourself credit for. I wonder if any of that will be played up in the Cinema Snob movie.
Overall though, loved the special.

80s Dan AND Kung Tai Ted; Christmas came a little early this year.
Man vs Nazi, Woman vs Booze, Man vs Robot, Woman vs Santa.
Reply to this
This is a really great episode with some terrific performances. You guys really knocked it out of the park.
I love 80's Dan.

Hey, has anyone else noticed that it looks like cartoon snob has an awesome rack on the left hand side of the page?
Reply to this
For a future episode of '80s Dan, could you please review The Dream Team starring Michael Keaton? That's kind of movie that could have only been made in the late 1980s.
Reply to this
I feel like I shouldn't love 80s Dan as much as I do, I was born in 88 and I'm not a huge fan of the decade but damn you do make me get excited about it for no reason. Hell you even got me to watch Manimal.
Dan is just such a magical psychopath, you gotta love him.
Reply to this
Nice seeing a Rob that's an actual character as opposed to one who's just there to try to kill the host.
Reply to this
All with Hooker with a Heart Of Gold references! God i love this show!
Reply to this
Sarah's hot! Brian is a lucky man *nods* So it Brad of course
Reply to this
Best Christmas special I've seen all year. I think 80's Dan is trying to replace The Cinema Snob as my favorite web show.

What, no Space Lancer Steve? Boooooo.

WoW the Kodak disc camera forgot all about that one....Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, Jerrid is a hairy yet bald sasquatch...Great episode Brad...So when are we going to see what you got for CHRIST-mas ? Hope you finally got that Battlefield Earth playset you wanted !!

Is that Stephen Stills doing the theme song to Hawaiian Heat?
Reply to this
Nevermind, I found it. It's not Stephen Stills, it's Tom Scott. If does sound a lot like Stephen Stills, though.

Happy New Year to all!And thanks for this idea,I didn't saw that movie!

Why is this episode no longer playable?
Reply to this
That... is the best damn Christmas special I have ever seen :O
Just love the story, the dialogue, the jokes... it is Brilliant
Reply to this
I love how the episode begins with Dan just casually waking up face down in an alley. Also, is it wrong say that Sarah plays an awesome drunken sexual deviant who's ass has an inordinately high storage capacity?

All of those divorce jokes "R.O.B." made are suddenly now significantly less funny.
