True Story: Zack Ward (Scut) and I became friends because we met at SDCC & we were mutual fans of each other. He loves Honest Trailers.

Not so fun fact: While the production mostly obscured the date of the movie, the Little Orphan Annie decoder he uses dates it specifically to 1940. That is, one year before Pearl Harbor. This was Ralphie's favorite Christmas because it would be the last real Christmas of his childhood, due to WWII.

"Anybody want to sell me a PS5?"

No, you'll shoot your eye out.

I remember being sick on christmas eve one year when TBS was playing their 24 hr marathon. I forgot it was christmas eve, and I kept waking up at the same part of the movie all day.
I had no idea what was going on, and now associate this movie with Groundhogs Day, because I was so out of it I thought I was reliving the same day over and over.

"My mother hasn’t had a hot meal for herself in 15 years" gave me an existential crisis.

[epicvoiceguy]

I’m okay, you guys. My arm’s just really sore.

[DudeMcAwesome]

"Where listening to the radio was considered fun!"

Me who listens to hours and hours of podcasts every week. :[

This is the most honest movie about childhood you will ever see. We look back at our lives with rose colored glasses and tend to forget just how much crying, whining and terror there was.

A Christmas Story: The most honest cinematic version of Christmas ever produced.

How many kids got their tongues stuck on a frozen pole just to see if it was possible after watching this movie?

[therealsulaco]

A Christmas Story is a love story about a kid and his dad. Ralphie tells every single person he can about the Red Ryder and gets shot down every single time. The one person he *doesn't* talk to about it is the Old Man but it's he who comes through for Ralphie in the end. Makes me tear up every time.

Zack Ward, who played Scut Farkus, had a minor role in Transformers. He is the one stabbed in the back by the scorpion at the Arab Village. He said everyone on Transformers wanted to talk to him about being the bully in Christmas Story.

The kid in line to see Santa that says "I like Santa" and then proceeds to scream when he meets Santa is the best part of this movie

[pauldacon]

A Christmas Story is a horror movie where everyone around you proves that they can hear your inner monologue and that they know the future but won't interfere with it because they are all afraid of the wrath of God.

You really should do an Honest Trailer for Team America: World Police.

This is a Christmas treasure, and it's educational. Without it, we would have never known Victor was the name of the Lone Ranger's nephew's horse.

[donniehuynh]

I’ve requested this several times, but do an Honest Trailer for Gremlins.

[jfridy]

My father has told me that this film is the closest you can get to how kids in the late 30s thought of their own childhoods.

All I remember about the story is that bit with the decoder ring that said "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine (which still somehow exists in 2020)"

[mayfriend]

"The film you've seen a thousand times by now-"
Me, never having seen it once: aight imma head out
