“Santa Claus Is Gunning… You Down”
How did I not know there was going to be a Futurama holiday special on November 21st? I don’t know, but I feel like I let you down — and then I remember it’s your job to send me tips, so in reality, you guys let me down. In the spirit of Christmas, I’ll forgive you, and tell you that the special will air at 10pm, star John Goodman as Robot Santa (as always),and focus on the Planet Express crew as they try to simultaneously save Christmas, Kwanzaa and Robonukkah. I’m going to count the entire special as a gift from Santa, frankly. (Via Geeks of Doom)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
