More elephants in the Hanukkah story

It's the second night of Hanukkah. (It’s an excuse to eat donuts all day long.)

Gather your family around and listen to some more Hanukkah songs -



The Chanukah Song Part 2  Adam Sandler -




Dreidel  Don McLean -




Boyz II Menorah: 'A Week and a Day' -




Oh Hanukkah  Jack Black -




Almighty Light  The Temple Rockers -




Pan Fry  The Maccabeats -




Our second holiday theme today - sometimes TV is your only friend, so why not have a marathon of Christmas themed episodes.


Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas  Community -



When you see the cast's reflection in the TV screen at the end of the episode, it's the real actors again, not their stop-motion versions.


Xmas Story  Futurama -



One of the pets Fry considers buying is a one-eared rabbit, a reference to Bongo, a character from Matt Groening's comic strip Life in Hell.


Merry Christmas, Mr Bean  Mr Bean -



One of the toys Mr. Bean plays with is a Dalek from Doctor Who. Rowan Atkinson would go on to play The Doctor in a Comic Relief special written by his Bean co-writer, Richard Curtis.


Ludachristmas   30 Rock -



Liz's father twice uses the phrase "Lemon party". While this makes sense on the surface because of the Lemon family's last name, it is also a risqué joke. Indeed, an internet search for "lemon party" leads to an image of a gay orgy of elderly men. The reference is confirmed when Liz's father says "It wouldn't be a Lemon party without old Dick".


My Own Personal Jesus  Scrubs -



The version of The Twelve Days of Christmas that plays when Turk is in the On-Call room goes as follows: Twelve beaten children Eleven drive-by shootings Ten frozen homeless Nine amputations Eight burn victims Seven strangled shoppers Six random knifings Five suicides Four beaten wives Three O.D.'s Two shattered skulls And a drunk who drove into a tree
