The Nostalgia Critic2007

Nostalgia Critic:
[about the first film being overly marketed] Even if that is the reason behind it, you're not supposed to be so lazily blatant about it. This is where "Christmas Story 2" comes in. Nowhere else will you find the needless, desperate, moneygrubbing whore element of Christmas than with the very idea of this film. It's such a horrible thought that even the trailer got probably the biggest amount of downvotes I've ever seen in awhile. [shows off a shot of the YouTube page for the trailer video which has 15,455 downvotes] I don't think Hitler could come back from the grave and get as many downvotes! If people say Christmas has gone commercial and lost its soul, this is the product to prove they're right. Because, yeah, thirty years later, we just demanded that the rest of the Christmas Story saga be told. We just couldn't sleep until that obvious cliffhanger ending was addressed. It just makes me realize how much Christmas has become glorifying, buying a bunch of bullshit that we don't actually need. What's next? "It's A Wonderful Life II"? "A Christmas Carol 2"? "The Star Wars Holiday Special 2"? When's it gonna end? I swear, this special is so bad that not only has it put me off of the original story, but it may have put me off of Christmas altogether!
