Ah, Xmas season is upon us.
Secure the perimeter!
[all yell]
[tense music playing]
Razor lights in place?
[slicing]
- Roger!
- Then, stand back!
[click, gigging]

ALARM: Intruder alert.

Santa's not getting past that!
No way!
- Unless he knocks it down or something.
- Hey, robot.
- Someone left a card in your stocking.
- That's weird.
Normally, I get mail delivered to my ass.
[creaks]
"I know what you did next Xmas!"?
- Okay Random!
- I wonder what you will have done
and who could possibly
will have known about it.
Eh, I do a lot of stuff.
I'm probably doing something right now.
[mysterious music playing]
Who's ready for their very first
animated holiday special?
- Hooray!
- So fun!
- Whatever.
- Ooh! Wait for me.
I love having other kids around.
NARRATOR: This year's rerun of
There's a Holiday for Everyone
is brought to you by
Mom's Old Fashioned Blood Remover.
Now in oatmeal spice.
And that holiday is Xmas.
[kids cheering, laughing]
KWANZAABOT:
Hey, kids, any chance
y'all wanna remix this holiday special,
and hear the dope story
of Kwanzaabot instead?
Or your favorite goofy golem,
Chanukah Zombie?
- No! Tell us about Santa!
- Again?
Yes! Every year!
- [Kwanzaabot sighs]
- Oy
[whimsical music playing]
The ancient tradition of Xmas
began in the year 2801,
when the Friendly Robot Company
developed a high-powered mechanical Santa
capable of delivering
over five mega-presents per second.
[popping]
[glass shattering]
Hey
KWANZAABOT: They tricked him out
with a pair of carbon-fiber Tims
and a chrome naughty-nice sensor.
CHANUKAH ZOMBIE:
So he'd know who deserved gifts
and who deserved brutal punishment.
Yo, that might've been
the first mistake right there.
[sleigh bells jingling]
But on Santa's very first delivery,
something went tragically meshuggenah.
[creaking]
His naughty-nice sensor malfunctioned.
Man, that's some bleeped-up
[klaxon]
[sleigh bells jingle]
Yay! Santa's here!
[gunfire]
[people screaming]
Oh! Oh my!
[grunting]
- [video stops] Oh, thank you.
- I'm sorry, kids.
I never wanted you to know Santa was real.
[somber music playing]
[hammering]
Yuletide news, everyone!
I know how to fix Santa!
[incredulous chatter]
I just need to sneak up on him
and reverse the polarity
of his naughty-nice sensor.
But Santa is always on guard
against attacks. Just like me.
- Hii-yah!
- Ow!
You'll never be able
to sneak up on him.
Not through space, no,
but through time, probably.
You see, Santa is only prepared
for an attack from the present.
So I've been souping up
my old time machine.
- Where is it?
- The question is when is it?
And the answer is right about
now!
[impressed chatter]
Wow!
It's so amazing.
I don't even care that it's on my foot.
[cracking]
I've installed a manual transmission
with a reverse gear,
so it can now go backward in time
as well as forward.
[unlocks car]
Hooray [grunts]
My plan is to back up to the year 2801,
when things first went wrong,
and materialize behind Santa
as he exits this very fireplace.
Did this building even exist in 2801?
Yeah, but back then,
it was some kinda meat market,
where butchers would hook up
and grind their sausages.
Yes, anyway, once there,
I'll quickly reverse the polarity
of Santa's naughty-nice sensor,
then return to the present.
Problem solved.
Um, Professor, isn't it risky
to go back in time
- and change history?
- Oh my, yes.
But I'll go alone to minimize the chance
of anyone becoming their own grandfather.
- These things happen.
- No, they don't.
Next time you see me,
Santa will have been good again!
Ta-ta!
[heroic music playing]
Uh, just a couple of centuries
straight backwards.
[bang, echoing meow]
Damn it! I backed over
Mrs. McGillicuddy's time cat!

[all cheering]
It'll be my first happy Xmas
since I got frozen and
never saw my family again!
Now, hold on!
Xmas isn't for a week.
Until then, we got nonstop busy work.
Oh fuff.
Let's stop pretending
we do anything around here.
Everyone, take the week off, and
be with your so-called loved ones.
- [gasping] Really?
- I forgot I had loved ones!
It's a human resources miracle!
[excited chatter]
Uncle Fry,
I hope you'll join me and Cubert
at my chalet in the Bronx.
Wait!
My family's hoping to meet Fry.
I mean, they met him before,
but he didn't make much of an impression.
I'll wear out my welcome at one,
and then go to the other.
[excited chatter]
- So, Bender
- No.
You and I are
the only ones with no family.
- Maybe we could
- No.
- Hang out?
- Oh. Hang out, you say?
Let me think that over for a
No.
No. Oh, sorry.

Aw, it's not fair!
Everyone else gets to have fun
with their stupid family.
My species dies when we reproduce.
So if I had a family, I'd be dead.
- Does anyone even care about that?
- I sure don't.
If you ask me,
"good" Santa is ruining Xmas.
I'd like to give him such a snipping.
[snipping]
Ooh, I'd bend him a new one!
But he's not here right now!
But, he has was been here.
Every Xmas, he shows up in the fire hole.
[gasps]
We could drunk drive the time machine
to last Xmas and kidnap him!
Then, he won't be able to
deliver presents this Xmas!
And our stupid friends' holiday
will be ruined!
[cheering]
Wait.
Is kidnapping Santa a good idea,
or does it just seem like a good idea
because we're intoximated?
It's a good [belches]

What do you suggest?
Hm
We could try an acid bath.

It's fresh turtle cooked inside
a fermented dolphin.
Wow. Soon, it's gonna be

Dad. Shh!
Keep the truth to yourself.
- Which part smells like whale butt?

Bender, look! It's working!
Wait. Where's my claw?

Gather round, relatives, as I cook up
turducken a la Farnsworth
with this 3D poultry printer.
As long as it's got three dimensions,
I'll eat it.
We start with liquid chicken.
[beeping, whirring]
Then, some duck filament.
[clicking]
And finally, a whole fresh turkey.
I printed this one out earlier.

How are we making turducken?
There's nothing in the refrigerator.
Eh, that fridge doesn't work.
We use it as a spare bedroom.
We serve fresh turducken, Leela.
[squawks]
They roam the sewers in huge flocks.
[gobbling, quacking, clucking]
- Are they hard to catch?
- Oh, no. They crave death.
[various squawks]
[door creaks]
Hey! Sorry I'm late.
- I got hungry and ate my skis.
- Fry, you made it!
You remember my parents
and my grandma?
[tentacle squishing]
Ah, yes. The rose of the sewers.
- Mwah!
- Leela, if you don't marry him,
I will.
[popping]
So, uh, where's Bender and Zoidberg?
What? I figured they were with you.
Or something.
They're probably relaxing by the fire.
[dramatic sting]
[Bender whimpering]
The only rational option
is to eat Santa.
- Right? Right!?
- I don't know!
Oh, this is a nightmare before Xmas.
I wish we'd never become friends!
We're not friends!
And we never were!

But we danced. And murdered.

I'll do the carving. You want
white Christmas or dark Christmas?

Merry Xmas, you guys.
We didn't know you hadn't
been invited anywhere.
We came as soon as we realized
what losers you are.
- Uh, punch?
- Nah, I'll just have a beer.
[creak, pop]
Who's hungry? We all brought
our families' unique holiday dishes.
- Turducken!
- Turdolphin!
- Huh.
- How thoughtful of you all
to drop this disturbing food off,
and then be immediately on your way.
- Goodbye!
- Dinner's served!
Isn't that pretty?
It looks like a magazine.
Bender,
since when do you have three legs?
Uh, uh, th-this one's a spare.
In case I break down on the highway.
And why is it wearing a snow boot?

Santa won't [muffled grumbling]

Santa seems less dead than we thought.

ALL: Ooh

[glass breaking, smashing]
I don't understand. He's still evil!
I personally went back in time
and reversed his naughty-nice sensor!
- Uh-oh.
- What you do, old man?
[gunfire continues] Oh, I've
made a complete Fry of myself.
You see, Santa's sensor
was exactly like the one
on this punch bowl.
When he was first built,
it was in the correct position.
But when I went back in time,
I flipped it around.
Me! Oh, lordy-loo.
I'm the one who made Santa evil.

You're drinking out of him.
There's one thing

'Twas I!
