The good folks at Everything is Terrible are out with their Holiday Special, and like most of their other videos, everything is hilarious.

Going by aliases like Commodore Gilgamesh and Ghoul Skool the video blogging vultures hunt down rare and forgotten video footage and post clips up on their site or even better, create insane mash-ups that haunt your dreams.

The intro of their Holiday Special features an insane collection of rare and strange footage of the Olsen Twins, Tuna Christmas, and the Star Wars Holiday Special just to name a few.

He’s now hanging out in the midwest visiting family and geting ready for the holidays with his partner and his mom. He looks pretty good in the new t-shirts, don’t you think? Order yours now before they run out.

Listen as we talk about Boy George going to trial, solarpowered graveyards and Internet Street in Poland, where the connection speeds are terrible.
