About this episode
🎄 It’s time to catch a last-minute flight to the North Pole and do the monkey with me back to 2001 for a well-deserved punch in the face that’s a little bit rock ’n’ roll. **** 🎙 Guest: James Riley ( @yourbuddyspooky ). **** 💬 Topics & Tangents: 1. ’Twas the Night , a 1997 Johnny Bravo segment which this special accounts for in the show’s continuity… sort of. 2. Larry & Steve , Seth MacFarlane’s proto- Family Guy short film before from before he worked as a Johnny Bravo staff writer. 3. People on TV who wait till Christmas Eve to start decorating. 4. This special first aired less than 3 months after 9/11, on Pearl Harbor Day, and opens with Johnny unnecessarily calling the fire department to tell them he’s “the bomb.” 5. Homer Simpson’s sandwich , and the worst things we’ve found in our couches. 6. The latest you can mail something to guarantee arrival before Christmas, according to the U.S. Postal Service’s Holiday Shipping Deadlines . 7. The voice of the truck driver is Vanessa Marshall , who may or may not have provided the scream of Samus dying in the Metroid Prime games . 8. Santa’s village looks like the Wicked Witch of the West’s castle and is cloaked like Wakanda. **** 📼 Retro Commercial Break: American Online Keyword eBay , 2001. **** 🎤 And Now, These Messages: Season’s Eatings , The Retro Network . “A Johnny Bravo Christmas” ©2001 Cartoon Network.
