Not surprisingly, those animated, Atlanta-based elves responsible for the Adult Swim programming on the Cartoon Network make merry with extreme prejudice at the holidays. The “Aqua Teen Hunger Force Star-Studded Christmas Spectacular Starring Rhon Geremi” will be broadcast Christmas Eve, but a sleighful of holiday-themed shows air tonight, Dec. 19, including “Robot Chicken’s Half-Assed Christmas Special;” “A Huey Freeman Christmas” on “The Boondocks;” “Rebel with a Claus” on “Squidbillies;” and “A Very Venture Christmas” on “Venture Brothers.” The latter features James Urbaniak and is a real favorite among my friends. Watch the cold open from the show (pictured) and see how many references to classic Christmas movies and shows you can count.

Adult Swim has actually compiled its own Ten Best Christmas Moments, with video clips all cued up. The likes of “NORAD vs. Santa” and “Santa’s Drug Lab” (a “Rudolph” parody) from “Robot Chicken” or “Horror Claus” on “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” get pretty darn dark.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force co-creator Dave Willis has produced a profoundly odd PSA encouraging North Carolinians to vote in next week’s election.

What’s odd about it?

It’s as if a real PSA and a fake PSA were unintentionally edited together.

Some among you might recognize actors Rene Dellefont, George Faughnan, Mary Kraft, Matt Stanton, and Dan Triandiflou, as well as musician and performer Jim Stacy.
