Hi
Hey James what do u have plan for the next avgn episode
AVGN: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes NES
Please review Mars Attacks;Cobra; Demoliton Man; Blade Runner and it's sequel. Also many more for 2019.
It's pretty bad..... could not finish watching it.....
Before the internet I was starting to believe I made this special up in my head. None of my friends saw it or remembered it, so it was like a bad nightmare. Then the internet came and I realized the nightmare was real. This was no bad dream.
This is no dream, this is really happening!
Realizing that it was real was worst then any nightmare
that's happened to me sometimes, half asleep watching TV and something really bizarre comes on, I half-remember it later and wonder if it was a bad dream or something
One of those days. You're 4 years old, you see a movie that has a Noah's Ark re-creation in the back yard and there are people getting murdered, and...
That's the 1963 version of "The Old Dark House." It has little to do with the 1932 version which has Karloff in a side character part of it.
Fever dream came true.
Sorry we were a little late with this one. Then again, it's Life Day, not Christmas...
Reply to this with what you want to see reviewed in 2019.
Ninja Terminator!
Yes!
Hi
Transformers the movie(1986)
Silent night, deadly night(all of them)
Masters of the universe{especially since a new HeMan movie is coming out in 2019}
1997 movie cube
As the nerd says
"WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!"
Money! :D
“ASSSSSS!”
*Thoughts!*
Cocaine. And lots of it.
Imagine Gordon Ramsay doing "Whip! Stir! Whip, whip, stir!"
That would actually be pretty awesome.
"Finally, some good fucking banta steaks."

Star Wars: Holiday Special? No
Star Wars: Acid Trip? Yes.
Dishwasher?
At least acid trips are interesting.
Speaking of acid trips, Carrie Fisher was high off her ass during all of this.
I used to be depressed and had poor time management skills. But that was before I found Skillshare. Now I'm depressed, but I'm more punctual and timely!
There's nothing better than timely depression!
😉
Tony: this is the best anyone could do...
Keiran: NO!
@Doom2exe 7:01
6:58 I started scanning the comment sections just to see if anybody else found that funny lol
Lumpy is the key to all of this, if we can get Lumpy working; because he is the funniest character we've ever had in any of the movies before.
Oh yeah, Life Day is meant to be a Star Wars version of Thanksgiving, not Christmas. It aired November 17th.
I remember being 8 years old when that special aired. They promoted the hell out of it. Specials were a big deal on TV back then and they pushed them hard. And this was "STAR WARS"!!!!! So of course, I was excited!!! I remember waiting all week to watch that damn thing. I had it circled in our "TV Guide" (Remember "TV Guide"?). And then that night, I sat down in our big comfortable chair to watch it. Immediately, I noticed that something was... off. Things were... wrong. About the moment that the hologram circus performers came out, I started thinking that "This kind of.. sucks.". But there was this serious battle going on in my head. This couldn't suck. "Star Wars" could do no wrong back then! It was "STAR WARS"!!! It couldn't POSSIBLY be sucking!!! This was "Star Wars"!!! Then... the musical numbers started... I sat in denial through the whole thing. This wasn't "Star Wars"!!! But it had "Star Wars" characters in it... kind of... My 8 year old brain was in crisis. I was just waiting... and waiting.. for this thing.. to turn into the "Star Wars" that I knew and loved. And then Princess Leia and Wookies were singing some godawful song and it just.. mercifully ended. The funny thing is that out of all my friends, I was the ONLY one who had seen this special. They thought that I was lying about the horror for ages until our 20's when I finally was able to find a video of it on the internet and show them the horror! Haha!!! Better late than never.
I was in the same boat. 8 yrs old when it aired. I loved SW so much I couldn't wait to see this. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as the movie (since it was on tv), but damn. I was so sad how terrible it turned out. Talking about it in school was odd. It was so weird.
This could have been a scene is a Christmas Story.
It seems a bit suspect that you were watching a video of this on the internet in the 1990s.
I was lucky. We had a snowstorm and the power was out at our house. Went to grandma's to watch it, but the signal was so bad all we had was snow on the TV. Unwatchable either way.
@@caligoclarus I was estimating. I don't know exactly when I finally showed them the video. I can describe that it was grainy and really poor quality like someone had recorded it from a VCR and it was pixelated as crap. Some of the scenes were so dark that you could barely see anything. I don't know what time frame it was in. Maybe early days of TH-cam or some other video site? I don't exactly remember. All know know is that I found the damn thing online and was like, "Holy crap. Remember this thing that you never believed me about?" By then, my friends were pretty much like, "Whatever." anyway. Pretty much the same reaction that I got when I was describing it to them when I was a little kid. So... I was vindicated... but... I wasn't allowed to feel great because no one cared except me. Haha! My roomate and my other childhood friend who were still around at that time did NOT sit and watch the whole thing. I don't blame them.
Did anyone else semi-expect Macaulay Culkin to still be there?
Watching this episode of Rental Reviews has become my annual Christmas tradition. I can’t get over how much James cracks in this video. He genuinely can’t contain himself and you always know when it’s about to happen because he quickly looks down 🤣. Like the Star Wars Holiday Special itself, there are too many priceless moments to list.
You can tell Carrie is blasted off coke in that portrait shot
She also had coke in her system when she died.
@@dvader518 she also had morphine and MDMA/ecstasy in her system too! That old lady really knew how to party!!!
Sam Smith she needed to get through the special
@@dvader518 Coca-Cola will deny all of these allegations...
Sam Smith I hope she had fun
The thumbnail is just pure gold with James just unable to contain himself from laughter.
This entire video was worth watching just for the notion of a Raiders of the Lost Ark Holiday Special.
Pure. Genius.
If I had time and a sledgehammer, I’d track down every single bootleg copy of it and smash it. - George Lucas
But not his shitty prequel movies, lol.
If he wants my dad's DVD of it, he'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.
My dad and I watched the Holiday Special on Christmas Day. He told me it's just as bad as he remembers. We sat there and riffed on the entire special.
Rental reviews is one series I always look forward to watching!! keep up the good work guys! :)
i feel like this where harrison ford git the idea to kill han
@bigevilworldwide1 you know it was a joke right?
I actually remember watching this when I was 4 when It came out. I remember my mom telling us it was Stars Wars. Strangely enough the Bea Arthur stuff was burned into my memory and for the longest time I wondered what I actually saw and didn't figure it out until 2010 or so.
Malla is still canon (as of pre-Disney) weirdly. She appears in backstory in Episode II, III and Clone Wars stuff. Not only is she dead (shot by a Clone Scout), but she was a Catamaran Pilot! She presumably killed loads of droids and clones.
Kieran being so mad at this it great! 😂😂😂
I love these rentals reviews. i hope you never stop doing these
Second
@@3pdepravity79 Same goes to you =)
"The thing about it is, Geroge Lucas approved the story!!"
Look, in the immortal worlds of Rick James, cocaine is a hell of a drug.
He was desperate to keep Star Wars around by any means necessary until the toys hit the shelves. The Kenner toyline was a huge part of keeping kids into Star Wars between each movie.
Is there a skill share program on how to assemble a trans communicator and transport Wookies to life Day celebrations?
Holy Cow! I can't believe you guys did a rental review on the infamous Holiday Special! I've yet to sit through it myself. I've only read about it via magazines. But I will sit through a viewing one of these days. To believe Boba Fett came from... this.....HAHAHA!!! :D
*Wookiees
Yes, there is, but it is sadly presented by Harvey Korman (his animated corpse is a testament to the longevity and commitment to quality of the SWHS)...
LMFAO @ 7:00
Tony: ...This is the best anyone could do.
Kieran: "No!"
I watched the Star Wars Holiday Special on TH-cam 10 years ago, due to curiosity. The whole special.
And I never watched it ever again.
Now you have to review the two Ewok movies.
zabukazar Those were actually good. Loved those when I was young
Oh yeah those were a thing
The Han cartoon kind of looks like Adam Driver.
I wonder if every star wars movie turn into anime?
In Return of the Jedi the Ewoks were supposed to be Wookiees. But after hearing Chewbacas family make noises for over an hour on the holiday special they didn't want to repeat that mistake again.
Would have made more sense to be Wookies but I understand why it was scrapped
Well, it was CBS who created the special. George Lucas had NO involvement whatsoever.
@@EntertainmentFan11 I hope you're not serious because I wasn't.
And then there were the Gungans…
That intro was so pure!
Given the scene it was spoofing, I was worried that it would end with Wookie pern.
Who is the lady? Never saw her before.
The rifftrax commentary the old mst3k crew did is off the charts hilarious
It's the only way to watch it.
Wait - MST3K did the SWHS?!??!?? I thought I'd seen all the MST3K episodes! When was this?
@@RealRuler2112 it's just an audio track you can play along with the special that the crew did under the moniker RiffTrax. It was like 5 or so years ago I think.
@@RealRuler2112 Check out Rifftrax, it's the MST3k guys but doing audio files you play along with movies instead of being on TV. So many of them are epic, my personal favorite is The Happening but the SWHS is amazing, too.
@@RealRuler2112 If you don't know Rifftrax, you're in for a great 2019
Watched a bootleg VHS tape of this many years ago. I'd rather eat my own balls than watch it again.
Eat mine?
The Boba Fett cartoon is the only good thing to come out of this
It was awesome as a kid back in the day
No, it’s like saying that hard dog crap is better to clean up, than the soft dog crap.
Yes! Everything else was intensely lame
It's pretty much the only thing from the Holiday Special Lucasfilm is willing to admit exists.
Yep. And better than Clone Wars and Rebels.
Bea Arthur was the best character
*IF WE CAN GET BEA ARTHUR WORKING*
I believe the name of the song Bea Arthur sang was, "This is Not Goodbye, This is Just So Long", or something like that.
She is da real VIP
No
@smithwesson1896 The film that made Ford hate Star Wars.
"Just keep going" hahahahaha that cranck me up!
I'd love to see a collaboration between Cinemassacre and RedLetterMedia for a Best of the Worst episode.
*HAPPY LIFE DAY, EVERYONE!!!!*
*MAY THE FORCE BE WITH US!!*
Also so happy to get some love from Cinemassacre. Aka
*SENPAI NOTICED ME!!!!!*

@DownForwardPunch
Yeah
Basically
With Disney propping it up like a scarecrow corpse for all the masses to see.

@@smithwesson1896
*HEY PAL!!!*
*GOOD TO SEE YA!* ☺😊
@DownForwardPunch
*DEFINITELY*
I remember watching this when it originally was broadcast in tv. I remember loving the animated sequences but that's it.
The animated Han Solo”s face in this Special looks exactly like Kylo Ren’s face.
One of the strangest "Christmas" specials out there. The Bea Arthur musical number still blows my mind. Great Review by the way.
Itchy's VR experience for moms and dads.
I was 14 years old when it was on TV. The special aired during a period when my Mom had taken away all our TV privileges (and I guess I should be thankful for that). I remember hearing other kids excitedly talking about the show about a week before it came on. But I never heard anything about it after that. I just thought it was going to be like everything else on TV and get repeated later. That never happened. I didn't realize until recently that Jonestown happened afterward and it suddenly became irrelevant. I didn't find out until about a decade ago what it was all about. When I see the footage now, I wonder whether the 14-year-old version of me would have enjoyed it. A few months earlier was when NBC ran the DC Legends shows, which I did see. Once I realized they weren't going to take it seriously, I was able to enjoy it on that level, but I was still rather disappointed. I probably would have felt the same way with the Star Wars special.
Glad that James defended revenge of the sith
It is my favourite Star Wars movie it’s got everything.
ctice9 Same here loved how Anakin Skywalker looked beast
When Kieran said that Chewbaccas mom had the thiccness...God left the chat
I was eating, when he mentioned it.
@@JRPrestonIL oh yeah, I forgot there are no girls on the internet
Search your feelings; you know it to be true!
Satan left as well
Implying that nobody would want to have sex with a Wookiee xD
I watched this as a kid I was traumatized
*CHILDHOOD TRAUMA!!!!*
A special holiday episode from Cinemassacre 362 days early? Awww, you didn’t have to!
I would much rather eat a bowl of Midichlorians topped with Jar Jar Dookie
*EW! YIKEY - YEEKY POO!!!*

"Star Wars was a tool to make money."
what?! tell me more ...
Disney: hold my beer
It's kind of funny that 'The Empire Strikes Back' came after this... "Quick, balance the series' tone! Quick!!"
So basically quality control.
Or in other words: they *LITERALLY* had to balance the force of the series after the holiday special.
Lumpy
Itchy

And Clyde...
4:14 "I love Jesus"
I love these movie review series James and you guys! please never stop!
A surprise to be sure....
But a welcome one...
We must seize this opportunity
While we can.
Finally, James Rolfe is reviewing the Star Wars Holiday Special! Who knew Bea Arthur and Boba Fett were in this horrible special!
The Ewok Adventure is right in the foreground this whole time :D
Will it be a Rental Review soon?? That would be sweet
George Lucas hated this, and he said Jar Jar and Howard the Duck were fine.
Yeah, I saw the Nostalgia Critic review, too.
At least this isn't as bad as Last Jedi. I bet Mark never imagined being in something worse than the Holiday special.
What? Last jedi is way better
I watched this on Christmas and I honestly gotta say I enjoyed it. I went in know what it was and I had very VERY low expectations. I think I enjoyed because of how absurd it is. My advice for anyone who hasn’t watched it is to expect it to be very weird, and look out for funny details. My favorite was this very pushy stormtrooper who holds his blaster from the battery pack.
Every part of the movie:
Justin: “I don’t want to talk about that.”
Love this series guys! Looking forward to more reviews in the future.
I've only ever seen this with the RiffTrax commentary. It's starting to grow on me in some strange way. Don't know if I'm ready to watch it without the commentary, though.
The Rifftrax commentary is the only thing that makes it bearable.
Utterly love this. Look forward to every episode. What about an 'extras' episode of outtakes and comments about how Macaulay Culkin really was off camera?
For me it is "Monty Python Meets Star Wars: At Christmas!"... Surreal, funny, a guilty pleasure!... I was waiting John Cleese to appear and say "...And now for something completely different!"
December 28th, official day to celebrate Life Day.
Why do we need Bea Arth......SILENCE!
Do “Flight of the Navigator.” That movie is amazing and still holds up
Poor Kieran, he final got to talk in this one. Lol. Great vid
I would actually LOVE to see The Raiders of the Lost Ark Holiday Special
Hey James been watching you since 2008! keep up the awesome work as always
Thanks for a great year cinemassacre. Can’t wait to see what happens in 2019! Can’t wait!
The Star Wars Holiday Special gave JonTron one of his funniest review videos ever. Seriously...I’ve watched it about ten times and it still gets me.
Yes. I would like to see a knockoff Indiana Jones Christmas special
*Love that Hollywood studio quality mask!*
I love how James just loses it at the impressions of these guys.
That intro is insanely disturbing, I love it.
I wanna see the Cinemassacre Indiana Jones Christmas Special!
Can you guys review "AirHeads"?
Yessssss I second this!! Great idea for a rental review dude.. I totally forgot all about that movie.
Been watching this dude since I was 10; I’m 18 now and he’s still the same funny ass dude 😂
The Bea Arthur segment is genuinely wonderful and heartwarming… the only decent part in this bizarre special, for my money.
Who here wants the Nerd to review some bootleg games?
Bootleg Mario/Disney games.
Also there must be more weird bootleg NES/SNES stuff he hasnt reviewed.
Have him review those specific bootlegs where the game over screen is downright disturbing
Good god I forgot how bad this was
*PTSD OF HOLIDAY SPECIAL LIKE VIETNAM*
Exactly
I just love how the Robonerd helmet is reused as a virtual reality device x)
I like Carrie Fisher's singing at the end!
*I HAVE THE HIGH GROUNDS*
*HELLO THERE*
*I"VE GOT A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS*
*I AM THE SENATE!!*
*IT'S TREASON, THEN*
*UNLIMITED POWER!!!!*
That stormtrooper had the high ground and see what it got him?
"Let's celebrate a day of peace"
"A day of harmony"
the REAL holiday special:
Santa clause runs afoul of the empire during christmas and engages in a duel above coruscant while trying to deliver presents.
Princess Leia Organa: [sung to the tune of the star wars theme] A day that takes us through the darkness/a day that leads us into light/a day that we celebrate/the LIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGHHHHHTTTT!"😅
Can’t be worst then the last Jedi! The last Jedi just ruined Star Wars for me
Surprised Mike didn't get to be in this episode considering he watches Golden Girls and I'd like to know what he thinks of the Bea Arthur Cantina scene.
This is easily my favorite rental review
omg I'm still laughing and the video is over
lumpy sound effects on the actual x wing footage LOL
James as the guy from temple of doom ROFL
Where did you learn to fly?
@R Mcdud
*WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO BE AN ASSHOLE?!?!?*
{Reference to the AVGN Atari Jaguar}
Et the game
I hope this series lasts for a long time!
"was that before this?"
"no, I think that this was after that"
Oh no, they talked about the untalkable: the holiday special whose name must not be spoken... The end is coming
I'll bet Disney remakes this.
Disney doesn't make them, Lucasfilm does.
@@gamestation2690
Lucasfilms is owned by Disney.
Disney then boss them around on how to make the movies.
Like demanding reshoots and stuff.
ThatOne A-HOLE - Lucasfilm has its own people in charge.
@@gamestation2690 until lucasfilm loses $... Then Disney calls the shots
