+Saroe Don't forget about his little yappy dog he keeps tucked under his arm. It's like every gay stereotype formed a single skull-headed being and decided to fight ANOTHER gay stereotype-formed being.
It sure is funny how is most regular episodes of He-Man, Skeletor is defeated so much you have to wonder why he is considered such a big threat to begin with... ...Yet when he is the "Good Guy" protecting children, he is suddenly an OP Badass on par with He-Man himself. (Guess "Good Magic" really IS stronger than "Evil Magic.")
I mean, why would kids trust an old guy with a beard that lives as a hermit in a cold place and has slaves working for him? At least Skeletor makes more sense... sort of...
The questions Skeletor asks about Christmas make me think he might fit in well at Halloween Town. Actually... Skeletor... Skellington... I may have just made the discovery of a lifetime O_o
I watch this episode semi-frequently because it’s so funny, and every time, even though I’ve never watched the He-Man show, Phelan’s joy about Christmas Skeletor is just infectious.
Apparently the writers thought Stinkor would be too silly for the show. This from the series that gave us Plundor, Christmas Skeletor and the madness of Trolla.
Honestly, I watched this show all the time as a kid and watched the Christmas special a crap ton of times. No regrets in the slightest because of Christmas Skeletor.
Ray and Winston: "If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call?" Children: "HE-MAN!" WELL I HOPE HE-MAN LIKES ECTOPLASMIC TERROR DOGS!!!!!
'They destroyed them so easily... Who are the real Monstroids...?' Truer words have never been spoken, Phelous... And yeah, I'll take the EVUL ROBAWTS over those gnome-faced abominations any day of the week...
This video was a pure laugh riot from start to finish, definitely a lot funnier than the Nostalgia critics review. The only gripe I have is that there was no acknowledgment about the very..............phallic shape of Hordak`s ship. I still can't believe that this image made it past the censors, especially after the giant metal arm grabs it. XD
Funimation or whoever actually have a bunch of She-Ra and He-Man episodes up on youtube, including this special ... But because I saw this first every damn time I hear that sound effect I think "rape horn".
What is this from? I've seen this clip in a few of Phelous' reviews and I'm curious to see his review of whatever is this from. He does rip bad movies apart so well
Did Orco also go back in time? Because if i remember correctly Queen Marlena was a star-jet pilot in a SPACE WAR near the Earth! Why is he in the "present Earth",well 80' Earth, but still...GREAT CONTINUITY!!!
I loved this show as a kid. And still do, so much nostalgia and camp. And I had the hots for Teela, nice that I had a female role model like her growing up, someone who was not only a soldier but a captain in charge of troops. Though I don't remember her doing that much in practice.
The funniest thing about the Masters of the Universe characters was how every time there was a new character concept there was always a hero and villain version (Stinker/Moss Man, Jujitsu/Claw, etc...) including battle damage He-Man/Skeletor, etc... it just always amused me. It was also funny to me that during the first wave or so they couldn't seem to decide if Zodiac was good, evil or neutral. He had Skeletor feet and was original placed with Skeletor and his men on the packaging but then in the mini-comics and stuff he was often shown as being some neutral cosmic figure like DC's Metron or something. Also, there was this whole weird thing about Tela in the comics, when she was wearing her snake armor being identified as the Sorceress of Grayskull (before the cartoons came out) like her with her armor on was a totally different person with it off. Weird, wild stuff in the early days. :)
DarkSoul712 What I really liked was the original comics that came with the figures, way back before the cartoon. They weren't really comics so much as text with artwork on the side (no word balloons or anything) and it was back when He-Man was a wandering barbarian hero.
DarkSoul712 I don't know about that. I just remember they had pictures and all the text was on the bottom like a storybook and He-Man was described as a 'wandering barbarian hero'. I recall the original concept was based on Conan the Barbarian but they ended up not getting the character rights so they just changed things up and made He-Man.
"BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!" "Uh, ADAM, MAYBE NOT IN HERE WITH THE *COMPUTERS?!* 🤣🤣🤣Oh man, that should've been a scene in the original series. It could've been during one of the earliest transformations (in a flashback story), maybe having Duncan tell him something like "Don't ever transform around things unless you know it's safe, moron....you coulda fried the machines or me!"
I do believe watching a review of this movie is what introduced me to she-ra in general 🙂 and of course this video introduced me to the amazing PIIIIILOTTTT! Line XD The rabbit looks purple to me🤷♀️ Commented in 2019/2020 as well
"Filmation was the gayest place to work at" Looking at He-Man, it really makes sense. Didn't know how accurate that "What's going on?" song parody was lol.
RiockSo3 It was made by Dic....so it might as well have been a different show....heck from what I've seen the only returning main characters are He-man (who looks different) and Skeletor (who somehow looks more terrifying, unintentionally)
TheOtakuX Holy shit, really? HOW? I mean, between Adora, Teela, the queen, the king... somebody fucked up big time. Looking at you, Orko. I'm kidding, of course; we all know he's not that effective.
Listening to this and your other reviews while working (and getting into the Christmas spirit XD)! Always looking forward to more of your reviews Phelous!
I rewatch this a every Christmas and I just noticed that the present Phelous gets from Skeletor in the bit has the Galaxy Warriors Pegasaurus box in it and it kinda seemed fitting.
i think the most memorable she-ra episode for me is the one where swiftwind forgets he's a horse and is bitching about if his foal isn't born on unicorn island, it'll be born as just a normal horse and not a unicorn. what difference does it make when swiftwind is spirit, the HORSE that only temporarily turns into a unicorn when she-ra transforms!?!? and according to the toys, he doesn't really turn into a unicorn because the horn is just part of the mask he wears. oi! not to mention the HORRIBLE message of whining about your kid not being born as what you want it to be, which was way too similar to people who throw a fit over their baby's gender.
Nothin' like a big, buff man with blue skin, no face, and BDSM gear saving your children. I love Christmas Skeletor :3

+Leo Spaceman WUT?!
Skeleton's voice is so weird
I LOVE IT!!!!!
"That seems _slightly_ suspicious to me!"
*arm shaking*
Skeletor is one of the most entertaining villains ever invented.
Where was Trap Jaw?
Skeletor actually saved the kids instead of that hack Cool Cat
@Dorian Green ya that was a shitty joke
Skeletor is a better role model then Cool Cat
@@j.jnerdamy320 Proof: compare Joel Vargskelethor (who grew up with Skeletor as his role model) to Derek Savage (creator of Cool Cat).
Dere he is
Skeletor saying he has to save the children is like Megatron saying he has to save the humans
+Master Farr That three parter in the '84 cartoon that included Decepticon Day. I can't even think about that without laughing
Aleksandra Ivanov wat?!
Because humans in fiction are really that dumb.
Megatron actually did say that on episode "Megatrons' Master Plan Part1"
Aleksandra Ivanov Darth Vader: Must Save the younglings!
I want to be Christmas Skeletor when I grow up.
WHAT!?
You can do it!
👍🏻 Dude! Me too. 😍 🎄💀
Those kids are amazingly not freaked out by a guy who has a skull for a head...
Swift Nimblefoot Maybe they're devil-worshippers and think he's their messiah. Makes sense.
I mean, why would kids trust an old guy with a beard that lives as a hermit in a cold place and has slaves working for him? At least Skeletor makes more sense... sort of...
Yeah. When you're a kid, your parents have absolutely no effect on what you believe in.
EDIT: Whatever I was replying to is gone now.
they probably watch a lot of tv and lived for this moment
to be fair he's probably less scary than some of their teachers
It was that moment, some say that Skeletor's heart grew three sizes that day.
he then died from how abnormal that size was, despite being a skeleton or whatever he is.
And then went back to normal the next. Skeletor is very persistent in his goal of conquering Eternia. One small bit of do-gooding won't stop him.
until his heart grew too big for his ribcage and exploded, killing him instantly.
And then it shrank back to his normal heart size the very next day
My exact thoughts.
Whenever I see a villain being written or reinterpreted as heroic or compassionate, I flash back to "I must save the children!"
Are you saying that we'll NEVER get Orko back?
Is that really an issue?
@@georgehutter339 Are you saying it's NOT?
@@erikios7292 yes
Oh we wish
I MUST... SAVE... *THE CHILDREN*
OH YES
I'll take Christmas Skeletor over Santa Claus any day
Oh...
I didn't realize Piccolo taught other people his Clothes beam attack.
He should do that more often.
Why doesn't piccolo ever make a clothing line with that beam
OceanicEmpireMapping Right? He could finally afford a castle.
Dropkick Queen including the meetery
Considering that Skeletor pre-dates Piccolo I think Skeletor might be the teacher and Piccolo the student!
And here I thought he just taught people how to *DODGE!*
The questions Skeletor asks about Christmas make me think he might fit in well at Halloween Town.
Actually... Skeletor... Skellington... I may have just made the discovery of a lifetime O_o
OH SHIT!
You know too much...
Mr. Sammich
He needed a break from HeMan
Skeletor saves the kids!
Skeletor loves to boogie woogie!
Skeletor loves alllll the babies!
Skeletor likes to rock and roll
Skeletor likes to dance and sing
Skeletor ~mumbles in Spanish~
MisterBull * HAHAHAHAHAHA GOD DAMM IT COOL CAT XD
MisterBull * That kid kicked sand in Skelator's face!
Someone make that happen, and Alpha and Omega: Skeletor kills them all.
I'm Skeletor & I love all kids!! *gets kicked by a short fat kid with a bowl-cut*
I watch this episode semi-frequently because it’s so funny, and every time, even though I’ve never watched the He-Man show, Phelan’s joy about Christmas Skeletor is just infectious.
Huge Skelator fan. Never seen this special. But got to say, it warmed my heart when Skelator bonded with and protected the children.
They sell it on dvd/blu ray, added it to my collection purely because of christma skeletor
Yee
Perfuma vs. Stinkor: chemical warfare at its finest! Or not.
I would ship them.
It would be my OTP.
Me too!😁
Stinkor better be in the new show! It might even stop the fighting over the Netflix She-Ra and bring world peace!!
I love how they seem to have He-Man's anatomy right but his pec outline shows through the loose-fitting vest.
Apparently the writers thought Stinkor would be too silly for the show. This from the series that gave us Plundor, Christmas Skeletor and the madness of Trolla.
Christmas Skeletor is adorable. XD
Aww. I want one. He's way better than that ugly, old, washed-up the Cheat I used to have.
"I am not cute! NYAAAH!"
Skeletor: What?!
Christmas Skeletor: The Original Cinnamonroll
Honestly, I watched this show all the time as a kid and watched the Christmas special a crap ton of times. No regrets in the slightest because of Christmas Skeletor.
Christmas Skeletor is best Skeletor!
Hordak: What about the way He-Man handles you?
*He-Man and Skeletor shippers suddenly start to cheer*
That moment when you realize Phelous has the same Skeletor as Robot Chicken. XD
We all know Perfuma would win that battle without even trying. And I mean that literally; she conquered Hordac through twee and interior decorating.
Hordakins! 🌷
Ray and Winston: "If there's something strange
in your neighborhood,
who you gonna call?"
Children: "HE-MAN!"
WELL I HOPE HE-MAN LIKES ECTOPLASMIC TERROR DOGS!!!!!
Hey, at least He-Man had a better female-led reboot....
I love how your review videos (this one, particularly) are like a blend of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and TH-cam Poops.
'They destroyed them so easily... Who are the real Monstroids...?'
Truer words have never been spoken, Phelous...
And yeah, I'll take the EVUL ROBAWTS over those gnome-faced abominations any day of the week...
They kinda remind me of these robot toys called ding-a-lings
"yes, if you miss Christmas, your miss Christmas, nothing escapes this one"
Sassy queen is the best version of her XD
The ironic thing is, one of the next guys who played Adam/He-Man, Cam Clarke, IS openly gay.
Are you saying we'll never get Orko back?
Hey he also voiced Heath Burns
Allen Shircliff
And Hoo-Dude, and Snoopy. :)
+LaDracul And '87 Leonardo
+Boobalopbop oh you and hatred of Orko
Christmas Skeletor is just the best. We need him to take over Santa’s duties!
this is probably way better than the Nostalgia Critic's review of He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special!
All Doug did (and in the Cannon live action film) was yell n' scream how gay He-Man was, that's not clever!
I liked both of the nostalgia critic and phalous review equally
theblocksays well he's right about that, did that offend you?
Paul Majano i think phelous also did a better review mostly because he is a fan of he-man while doug doesn't appear to be
YOU DARE INSULT JEWISH SKELETOR !!!
Another hilarious video as usual. I love Skeletor's face at 19:40 like, "Holy shit I'm way out of my depth on this one."
This video was a pure laugh riot from start to finish, definitely a lot funnier than the Nostalgia critics review. The only gripe I have is that there was no acknowledgment about the very..............phallic shape of Hordak`s ship. I still can't believe that this image made it past the censors, especially after the giant metal arm grabs it. XD
I think phelous didn't mention it because its really just that to obvious a joke.
@@MrOrcshaman mmm it IS too obvious of a joke to do😅
Nearly 8 years later, and this episode still holds up
Also, comment 667!!

F-king love when Phelous use a character voice but PhelOrko is top tier.
Love your "Sarcastic Orko" voice.

Did Orco also go back in time? Because if i remember correctly Queen Marlena was a star-jet pilot in a SPACE WAR near the Earth! Why is he in the "present Earth",well 80' Earth, but still...GREAT CONTINUITY!!!
I have no clue
I thought she was just a apart of a NASA-type space mission.

This is why the scented toy thing should only apply to Strawberry Shortcake. 😂
Why exactly?
PREACH
@@kimifw58 Because Stinkor stinks.
He smells like a hippie.
@@autobotstarscream765 But why exactly strawberry shortcake. It's not like strawberry shortcake is the ONLY nice smell in the entire world.
@@Grey_Warden_Invasion I know, I'm trying to explain a specific joke. 😅
6:34 why does an AUTOMATED SPY ROCKET HAVE A PILOTS SEAT?!
For when you need to prove your crush that you can fly a rocket.
otakon17 Earth has better automated stealth planes than Eternia.
Because Eternians know the first rule of designing automated systems: never, ever make an automated system with no manual backup.
I have to agree the best part of this special has to be Christmas Skeletor.
All joking aside, the gag dub dialogue between Adam and Adora feels very authentic as sibling banter XD
Christmas Skeletor is The Best Skeletor
Boy, Wander over Yonder's lost Christmas special was truely unintentionally hilarious
"Oh my gosh, they'll be buried by that avalanche! ... I've got to make sure it happens quick!" ^o^
this is so much better than the critics review, at least you dont obsess about the gay overtones
You mean gay overtones
OceanicEmpireMapping ALL OF THE TONES
Michael Jensen that was really annoying all things considered.
He gave it a fair mention without making the entire review about it and also referred to other stuff from the franchise such as Stinkor and Perfuma. 👌
Critic really loved dragging jokes too much
I loved this show as a kid. And still do, so much nostalgia and camp. And I had the hots for Teela, nice that I had a female role model like her growing up, someone who was not only a soldier but a captain in charge of troops. Though I don't remember her doing that much in practice.

hey,..arent you hewy of hewy's animated movie reviews? ^^
Milo Thatch Yup!:D
Hewylewis i love your videos...i honestly didnt expect to see a great reviewer here on youtube ^~^
There are so many good lines in this review.
"Don't wanna hear it, He-Man."
"Now die you miserable flowers! Ahahahah!"
whhhaaat?? Stinkor's toy ACTUALLY smells!? I thought you were joking!
Christmas Skeletor now.
Christmas Skeletor tomorrow.
Christmas Skeletor always.
Amazingly, they actually made Stinkor a credible threat in the 2003 series.
KingoftheGundam79 that was my second favorite he man series
This is probably my favorite phelous episode XD
This is something I would do if i was watching something like this haha
Why is some of this special reminding me of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians?
watching this before fourth of july. I swear right as He Man hit you, a bang went off
Truly amazing.
Before Lesbian Catra
Before Angsty Clone Hordak
There was...
*CHRISTMAS SKELETOR*
Also, the 'He-Man gay' jokes have just aged like fine wine.
I MUST... SAVE THE CHILDREN!
Christmas Skeletor is the best. :3
Skeletor's voice is perfect for Papyrus.
Whenever I play Undertale and read over dialogue, I always do Skeletor's voice for Papyrus.
"BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL!"
"Uh, ADAM, MAYBE NOT IN HERE WITH THE *COMPUTERS?!*
🤣🤣🤣Oh man, that should've been a scene in the original series.
It could've been during one of the earliest transformations (in a flashback story), maybe having Duncan tell him something like "Don't ever transform around things unless you know it's safe, moron....you coulda fried the machines or me!"
28:31-I hate to see him go but I LOVE to watch him leave.
Skeletor's heart grew 3x that day 🤣🤣
Skeletor likes exploding presents? Guess he'd get along well with Jokey Smurf.
I do believe watching a review of this movie is what introduced me to she-ra in general 🙂 and of course this video introduced me to the amazing PIIIIILOTTTT! Line XD
The rabbit looks purple to me🤷♀️
Commented in 2019/2020 as well
he-man and she-ra, the shows with the most lucklaster names ... snakemountain, greyskull battlecat etc ..i love them =P

Somebody give phelous a million subscribers!!! He deserves them!
I know!❤
I have never seen a he man episode and I love christmas skeletor with all my heart
Revisiting this has become a Christmas tradition
Same!

For a minute I thought the dog made that noise!
NearVSMello now that you said it, it does look like that xD
If Relay shows up in the Kevin Smith He man I hope that’s the noise he makes
I could watch an entire episode of Phelous overdubbing an episode of He-Man
9:27
More like "Plundor the forth wall-breaker"
:l
Christmas is a great time of the year.
Probably my favorite of your reviews, Phelous. 😄
I'm glad they had Stinkor in the Cartoon Network He-man reboot
"Filmation was the gayest place to work at"
Looking at He-Man, it really makes sense. Didn't know how accurate that "What's going on?" song parody was lol.
And people say that 2018 She-Ra was an unfaithful reboot...
I just wanted to say thank you for proving that you can talk about He-man without resorting to a long string of cheap gay jokes
He’s not you-know-who, mate😅
Also Phelous is actually cool 😊
When That "GOOD Skeletor" show up, with cartoon was it?, i do remeber whatching it but dont remeber the name
It was from The New Adventures of He-Man.
oh i thought it was a different show
RiockSo3 It was made by Dic....so it might as well have been a different show....heck from what I've seen the only returning main characters are He-man (who looks different) and Skeletor (who somehow looks more terrifying, unintentionally)
***** to be fair I meant characters featured in more than one episode returning.
TheOtakuX Holy shit, really? HOW? I mean, between Adora, Teela, the queen, the king... somebody fucked up big time. Looking at you, Orko.
I'm kidding, of course; we all know he's not that effective.
Love what you did with this video.
They also did a nice smelling one in Moss Man who was scented with pine.
I know Doug did this one already, but this is still hilarious.
I honestly like Phelous's a lot more. There's much more focus on Christmas Skeletor. :3
Simon Blackquill
MYAHHH! HAPPY LATE HONDA DAYS!"

Always looking forward to more of your reviews Phelous!

Skeletor, The Master of Christmas!
still waiting for the Baltard/Bat Hero Holiday Special
I rewatch this a every Christmas and I just noticed that the present Phelous gets from Skeletor in the bit has the Galaxy Warriors Pegasaurus box in it and it kinda seemed fitting.
I AM NOT NICE
"Oh, Wait! I have to get Relei(?)!"
"NNNO. LEAVE HIM"
That was the fucking best

"Did you want this sword up your butt Adam?"
"No..."
Well, at least not a metal one.
i think the most memorable she-ra episode for me is the one where swiftwind forgets he's a horse and is bitching about if his foal isn't born on unicorn island, it'll be born as just a normal horse and not a unicorn. what difference does it make when swiftwind is spirit, the HORSE that only temporarily turns into a unicorn when she-ra transforms!?!? and according to the toys, he doesn't really turn into a unicorn because the horn is just part of the mask he wears. oi! not to mention the HORRIBLE message of whining about your kid not being born as what you want it to be, which was way too similar to people who throw a fit over their baby's gender.
