Fair use rationale for Image:417 hankies22.gif

Image:417 hankies22.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Uncited material

Cite please;

This episode heavily parodies the original productions made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, named The Spirit of Christmas. The boys' ideas of making a video Christmas card references how Fox executive Brian Graden paid Parker and Stone to make a video Christmas card to send to his friends, hence the creation of the second short, Jesus vs. Santa, which was partly shown at the end of this episode. The boys also used the same materials that Parker and Stone used to make the first short, Jesus vs. Frosty, and the design style is shown accurately in this episode as well. Also, during the final airing of the animation, cartoon-Kyle says,"We actually spoke to the true Brian Boitano." Boitano was referred to earlier in the second Spirit of Christmas short, Jesus vs. Santa, and in the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut in the song "What Would Brian Boitano Do?". The ending of this episode also matched the ending of Jesus vs. Santa, with Kenny's body being nibbled at by rats, and all of the boys becoming Jewish to get presents for eight days.
The song Kyle sings in the episode is from the animated short Twas the Night Before Christmas. In fact at one point during the song his face changes to that of Joshua Trundle, one of the main characters from the special. Other elements of the episode, such as Mr. Hankey and Cornwallis fixing the projector before it’s too late, are similar to Twas The Night Before Christmas.
Mr. Hankey sings to his son a song "The Circle of Poo", reminiscent of The Lion King's "Circle of Life"
