our latest videos for this list we’re

Cartoon Network holiday chestnuts that
tickled our winter funny bones warmed
our hearts and in more than one case got
our adrenaline flowing if these episodes
haven’t been found in your stockings yet
there will be spoilers number 10 dexter
vs santa’s claws Dexter’s Laboratory
Dexter is hell-bent on proving to DeeDee
that Santa Claus is a farce convinced
that it’s really just their dad in
disguise however in an unexpected turn
of events
Dexter’s theory is discredited Santa is
real and the little geniuses campaign
has ruined his family’s Christmas fans
weren’t very fond of this episode
because of the mean-spirited humor
coupled with Dexter’s stubbornness and
violent treatment of the jolly old elf
but if you don’t take this special too
seriously you’ll get an entertaining
holiday showdown that dares to go above
the typical preachy holiday norms about
goodwill and peace on earth the presents
[Music]
number 9 operation knotty codenamed
kids next door the delightful children
from down the lane frame the kids next
door in order to steal all of Santa’s
once their scheme is uncovered it’s up
to the combined efforts of the candy and
Santa’s elves to save Christmas from
their goody-goody enemies and a corrupt
unappreciated number three this is
unarguably one of the most unique
Christmas specials on the network paying
homage to our favorite Marvel Comics to
create an action-packed and funny
holiday tale for the ages that amid the
tension reminds us that sometimes when
it comes to gift-giving
it’s the thought that counts I know just
one number eight Christmas the amazing
world of gumball it wouldn’t be a
Watterson Christmas if something didn’t
go horribly horribly wrong in this case
running over a homeless man convinced
that the man is an amnesiac Santa Claus
Richard tries to get back on the nice
list while the kids try to restore
Santa’s memories an effort undone by
nichole giving the infamous Santa isn’t
real talk but is he really a fake while
gumball is known for its cynical sense
of humor
this special manages to sprinkle in a
little bit of hopefulness to capture the
spirit of the season mixed with the
usual off-the-wall comedy that makes it
all worthwhile Wow what is it the most
beautiful gift I could ever wish for
it’s just like us yeah close enough
number seven camp Kringle camp lazlo
during a camp field trip in the snowy
mountains the beam Scouts come across
Santa’s workshop and Ascenta in very
much need of a vacation Lazlo decides to
give Santa his much earned break at camp
kidney but Saint Nick falls in love with
the place and refuses to leave meanwhile
Scoutmaster lump as’ ends up taking over
the workshop which is bad news this
special shows that even Kris Kringle
needs some time off and he can’t just
give up on his life’s work when so many
children depend on him thankfully that
fact alone gives Santa the energy to
take down lympus and save Christmas
oh look the North Star or a meteor
whichever number six holly-jolly secrets

was once Simon a normal human whose life
and mental state was completely changed
when he came across the magic crown and
he has no recollection of the life he
left behind this two-parter created a
massive impact painting our titular
heroes most demented nemesis in a tragic
light and prompting them to bring
everyone together in a Christmas like
celebration every year to watch video

sweaters but get together while wearing
really big sweaters and watching videos

Matt goes through an existential
depression Bloo is obsessed with the
thought of only getting one present
until he inadvertently ruins everyone
else’s holiday thanks to his harebrained
experiments and a poorly planned
Christmas Carol parody that is the true
meaning of career
math.max little crisis is something that
everyone goes through but that doesn’t
mean there isn’t room for a little
Christmas miracle as for blue he should
count his blessings to even get one
crummy gift with his naughty behavior
the real Santa Claus will never give
someone as naughty as you anything but
