Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is my favorite stop-motion Christmas special. I like the character Yukon Cornelius. Everything he says is funny. When asked what supplies he’s going to get he says, “Cornmeal, gunpowder, ham hocks and guitar strings!” Then when he’s riding the floating iceberg with Herbie and Rudolph they crash into land. Cornelius shouts, “LAND HO!” after they have already struck it. Herbie looks at him and says REALLY sarcastically, “No kidding.” Then again they have this funny exchange:
Yukon-This fog is thick as peanut butter
Herbie- You mean pea soup.
Yukon- (shouting) You eat what you like and I’ll eat what I like!

He does always seem to be yelling something, doesn’t he?
