In 1986, the definitive Christmas special was produced. I'm obviously talking about Season 1 Episode 45 of Rambo: The Force of Freedom called "When S.A.V.A.G.E. Stole Santa." There's no need for more intro. Here's the entire episode, faithfully adapted for the world wide web, I barely changed anything, it's the fucking best.

This article was brought to you by our fine sponsor and Hot Dog Supreme: KVH, the third orphan. No not that one, the other one, over there. Yeah, that one.

I remember this. I can hear the Rambo theme echoing in my head to this day "Ramboooo and the force of free-eeedom"

Why does the S.A.V.A.G.E. driver have an extra testicle on his chin?

I am laughing so hard. I remember this episode. Happy holidays, 1900HOTDOG!!

The way General Warhawk slams back in his chair in the beginning breaks my brain, it's like the animators have never seen a human sit down before. I get that he's in the back of a moving truck, but still. And even knowing it's a coke-fueled 80s cartoon, even with it being Rambo, I still can't suspend my disbelief far enough to believe that he'd survive being crushed by literal tons of lumber. Headband of Rage or not, he would've been a disjointed, jumbled mess of sweaty meat and bone. 10/10

I’ve never actually watched this show, but I assume Rambo transitions into his shirtless/headband form at the climax of every episode and I desperately hope there’s like a 30 second magical girl transformation sequence every time it happens.

[RAMBO SOUNDS] You said it, Rambo! Wait, how did you get in here?

I can hardly wait for "John McClane's Hannukah Havoc", with Rubik The Amazing Cube as guest star.

So Rambo went from a hoodie with the sleeves torn off to a full winter coat, then totally shirtless, implying he’s kept warm by hot-blooded American murder power and didn’t need a shirt at all. The production team must have been on a heroically lethal amount of drugs when they made this show

Those remote tundra orphanages get all the best toys

SHIT! I forgot to call out how Rambo's gloves have fingernails!

Scribbler Johnny

We all know exactly what *Rambo noises* sound like. It had to be said.

Ace Hendrix

Fuck yeah Rambo!! GI Joe would never.

Richard Orr

Thank you for faithfully subtitling this cartoon for us.

Deathjeff fucking rules. Finally, one cool Jeff against all the shit ones we have seen on 1900hotdog. There is hope. He is our chosen one!

I knew a girl named Gwen and I went to visit her one Christmas and she said she had special "peppermint juice", and I drank it and asked "did you just dissolve a candy cane in a pitcher of water", and it turns out that is exactly what she did. Thank you for bringing up this great memory.
