Okay, take out your pencils! (No, not that pencil! Jesus Christ, you're disgusting.) It's time for another Holiday TV Pop Quiz™, and—OH, DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK. I know we just had a pop quiz last week (about A Charlie Brown Christmas), and guess what? We're having another one! After all, you can't call it a "pop" quiz if it doesn't "pop," am I right, of course I am, shut up.

This week's quiz involves the creepy animated classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (watch the vastly inferior sequels this week, including Rudolph's Shiny New Year [ABC Family, Thurs Dec 5, 6 pm] and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys [ABC Family, Sat Dec 7, 7 am]. As always, ABSOLUTELY NO CHEATING OR WISENHEIMERY. You have one hour. Begin.

1) Narrator Sam the Snowman wonders aloud, "Haven't you ever seen a talking snowman before?" Is this a thinly veiled accusation of racism? Should "talking snowmen" be granted equal rights—even though they're entirely made out of snow? (Any answer other than "no" is incorrect.)

2) Upon discovering baby Rudolph's glowing nose, his father Donner decides to hide it by covering it up with dirt. Note three similarities between Donner and your own father.

3) Hermey the Elf tells his screaming boss that, instead of making toys, he'd rather be "a dentist." WHAT DOES HE REALLY MEAN, AND IS HE FUCKING KIDDING US?

4) After his glowing nose is discovered, Rudolph is banned from future "reindeer games." If you were an ACLU lawyer, what would be your legal advice?

5) Which of the following is the best song ever written about self-acceptance?

a) Clarice the Doe's "There's Always Tomorrow"

b) Katy Perry's "Firework"

c) Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful"

d) All of the above make me want to stab my ears off with a pair of scissors.

6) After they sing "We Are Santa's Elves," Santa responds to the performers by saying, "Well, it needs work. I have to go. [Door slam!]" Why is Santa such a dick?

7) The Abominable Snow Monster is accused of being "mean, nasty" and "hating everything to do with Christmas." Is it possible the Snow Monster might be eating everyone because he's at the top of the food chain? Bonus question: Should the Abominable Snow Monster be given "protected species" status?

8) Hermey, Rudolph, and Yukon Cornelius are denied asylum on the Island of Misfit Toys because—according to King Moonracer—"a living creature cannot hide himself on an island." Again, WHAT DOES HE REALLY MEAN, AND IS HE FUCKING KIDDING US?

9) To defeat the Abominable Snow Monster, Hermey forcibly pulls out every one of the creature's teeth (without anesthesia). If you can think of a crueler fate, I'd like to hear it. Bonus question: Does Hermey actually deserve to be a dentist?

10) After agreeing to lead Santa's sleigh through a snowstorm, Rudolph is once again accepted by his peers. The moral of this story is:

a) Minorities must prove their worth before gaining equal rights.

b) Ugly mutants have feelings, too.

c) Santa is a dick.

d) None (or all) of the above.
