Hot Slut Of The Day!

Schlomo, Grandpa Boris’ arch nemesis in the Rugrats Hanukkah special!

Animated Christmas  TV specials are a dime a dozen and around this time of year you can’t click through the channels without bumping into one (example. Last night when my eyes spent way too much time with that cartoon Elf movie on NBC. I would blame the good shit, but I was sober, so I only have myself to blame). Hanukkah cartoon specials are much more rare and the one I remember the most is the Rugrats Chanukah episode from 1996.

In the special, the kids, who are always high on acid, imagine themselves as characters in the story of Hanukkah as Grandma Minka reads them a book about the meaning of Hanukkah. Grandma Minka doesn’t finish the story, because she has to cook latkes and the babies attention turns to Tommy and Dil’s Jewish abuelito Grandpa Boris screaming about how his childhood rival Schlomo has been cast as the Greek king in the local synagogue’s Hanukkah play. Grandpa Boris is playing Judah. The babies think Schlomo is really the Greek king and they make a plan to take down the “Meanie of Chanukah” at the play.

The Rugrats Hanukkah episode has everything you could ever want from a Hanukkah episode: Latkes, a dude in a dreidel costume, Angelica being a bitch and a good old-fashioned pepaw fight between Grandpa Boris and Schlomo. Nickelodeon has the entire episode online and I should’ve watched this shit last night instead of spending way too much time with Elf. Angelica is the star of the episode, because she’s the star of every episode, but the second breakout star of the episode is Schlomo. Schlomo knows how to wear a cape and you can’t deny that magnificent white cartoon beard.

Happy Hanukkah!
