My favorite Christmas Carol knockoff was the Blackadder Christmas special. In it Blackadder (the main character played by Rowan Atkinson) starts off as a good man, kind and helpful to others. On Christmas Eve he is visited by three ghosts who convince him to become a complete bastard instead. On Christmas morning he goes around fucking people's shit up, with the highlight being him kicking Tiny Tim's crutch out from underneath him.
Literally millions of takes on A Christmas Carol and that's the only one (to my knowledge) that pulled a reversy. Just amazing.
Reminds me of an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force where Carl finds an alternate universe version of himself who is the best possible version of him (because Carl had hair) and convinces him to ruin his life then kill himself.
Episode: Larry Miller Hair System
Meeting the other version
Later on
That episode is one of the more unsettling ones, something about it just gives off extra creepy vibes to me.
Not that most of them aren't unsettling in one way or another, it's ATHF after all, but that one and also the weird Nazi heroine needle condom balloon dog one skeeve me out just thinking about it.
Good ol' rubberman
Meatwad named him Lance Potter.
He made Meatwad saw off Carl's arms with a hacksaw.
It's okay though, human arms grow back.
Damn, bro. I haven't thought about Carl in a good while.. And I used to think about Carl all the time. Tanks dere, Fry Man.. Preciate it..
