Share and share alike, so here's some holiday comedy insanity. I love the Frantics and some of their holiday bits are downright insane.

Short Bits
Originally posted on the offical website last year...

Bill From Bala plays Santa
Fans of Red Green and IP&S crew take note; Bill from Bala was the character that later evolved into Bill Smith on the Red Green show. Various character details were tweaked, but both Bills share the flaw of never shutting up.

A Leonard Cohen Christmas Carol
Kinda dark, but if you're familar with Leonard Cohen, you know why. The man was angst and emo before it was hip.

Whole Radio Episodes
Found through my own sources. The fan titles are used for IDing them. ;)

The Second Xmas Special
Kinda out of date - the retail skit mentions Simpsons and Eatons, two retailers who've been close for years. Various old political references abound. The songs are great, as most Frantics songs are. I LOVE the Christmas Dinner one to bits.

The Frantics Look At History: 1900s
One of the first skits on here is a parody of the Christmas Truce. Not much else Holiday material. There's also a Todd Booster skit in there (but those are only funny when you listen to about 3 of them and get an idea of what they're repeating), along with a guy heckling Churchill.

ADDED BONUS!
Luther, Paula and The Ultramind
One of the best plot driven radio episodes, IMHO. The Ultramind - "The Greatest Evil Genius in the History of Evil Geniuses!" - is hands down my favorite Frantic Times character. It also pokes fun of superheroes in general; the supervillians would later get it in a later episode.
