Unless you've been living under a rock your entire life, you've probably seen the classic Christmas television special, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. You know, the original stop-motion version, with Burl Ives as the cheerful snowman with a banjo. As I'm sure it is with many, many others, it's pretty much a holiday requirement around here to watch it at least once. In fact, since we have a copy of it on VHS, The Boss makes a point to watch this movie a few times each Christmas season. I put up a stink about it sometimes, but deep down inside, I don't mind watching it. I grew up watching it, and it doesn't ever seem to get old.
This year was no different. It aired on TV a little while ago, and when The Boss and I were watching it, something occurred to me. And if you know me at all, whenever I say the phrase "something occurred to me", you know that it's just another way of saying that the maniacal wheels in my head started turning.
We were sitting there, watching Rudolph's father shame him for being born with a glowing red nose (which was probably his own fault, for sleeping with that doe in Tijuana a few years back, after too many tequila shots with that asshole Comet), and I realized that a lot of the characters reminded me of other people.
And so the idea for this post was born.
Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Look-A-Likes:

So there you have it. The Boss and I got a huge kick out of this while we were watching it and I was pointing out who all the various people look like. I doubt we'll be able to watch the movie again without thinking about this, but I'm okay with that. It sort of gives it a new aspect.
I'm left with one question, though. What other Christmas classics could this be done to? Any thoughts?
Have a good weekend, folks.

Haaaa!! You should totally be a casting director in Hollywood...you've got this stuff down to a science! Grohl as the AS - hilarious!!
I love those maniacal wheels of yours! You TOTALLY have to do with with the Snow Miser/Heat Miser one! I am not creative enough to do it...but that would be a good one!
Oh my gosh!!!!! Those are perfect...absolutely perfect!!!!! I'm still giggling!!!!!!!! :-) :-)
I've always thought Rudolph was a creepy show. My kids have never seen it. We are more of a Charlie Brown Christmas kind of family.
But I do like your comparisions!
Amazing! You are right on, except I think the snowman actually looks like Burl Ives, who did his voice. Love the last one especially (being a fan of the Foo).
-->I DVR'd it for my son and thought the comment from Donner to Mrs. Donner regarding searching for Rudolf was timely for 1964, "This is man's work."
I love your cast comparisons. haha..
Spot on! I, too, will never be able to watch it again without thinking of your comparisons!
I can totally see Hermie..."O.M.G! That sweater is ALLL wrong for you! Plaids and Stripes are out this year! Felt and Fur are HIP. HIP. HIP. Now, take your pants off and let's see that bum of yours!"
Awesome Spin on the classic. Very Mystery science theatre 3000- esque. In fact if we could superimpose these substitute characters and then throw it on the Mystery science theatre screen it would by dynamite!
Oh I should stop now, my geeky is showing...
Um, that was awesome! Gonna have to give you a Twitter shout out.
Oh man, SO FUNNY!! Totally agree with David Grohl and Guy Fieri. Brilliant.
You need to do "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" too!
LOL simon pegg, I love him!
Ha! That's great. Frosty the Snowman should be done. As should the Grinch. And Santa Clause is Coming to Town...
I cannot look at Wilford Brimley without thinking of his Diabeeetus.
HAHAHA! AWESOME. I think I just freaked out my hubby with the glee and giggles I had over this post. Until I shared it with him. Then he understood. The Abominable snowman/Dave Grohl juxtaposition is the best!
That was hysterical!!! Dave Grohl!
I don't have this sort of talent at all. I don't even know who the one guy is...
Wow you were spot on with a bunch of them!! I'm so impressed!!
You started a new tradition in your house, and you are right on with your look alikes. Enjoy all your other traditons with the Boss, Merry and Happy Holidays.
Organic Meatbag: He's make a kick ass Abominable, too, if you ask me.
Moonspun: Good idea!
Nej: I wonder what he'd think of it
Blogging Mama Andrea: It is kind of creepy, I'll agree.
P: He does look like Burl, but I think that was the point.
Deb Thaxton: I get a kick out of that line, too. I'm surprised they haven't tried to change it over the years.
Employee No. 3699: Thank you!
MinivanSoapbox: Exactly!
The Real Me: That would be pretty epic.
X: Thanks, dude!
Mrs Soup: Good idea!

Hermie the Dentist is right on the mark. Great post.
i just love it...
OH wow in reading your blog there was non-stop laughing... comical genius... hahah
Nice job! I didn't know who half the the real people are but you got 'em.
Pretty damn good. The Wendy's Girl is a little weak,
but the sublime synchronicity of Dave Grohl makes up for it.
Simon Pegg as Charlie in the Box.... lol..
http://totallylookslike.com/
Prepare to be amazed.
Dude...good call with Charlie in the Box as Simon Pegg. Ears, rosy cheeks...damn, that's a close one.
I watch A Muppet Christmas Carol every year...pretty sure that most of the Muppets look like Jim Henson's real-life buds.
This is the only one I ever noticed.
Completely spot on with the look-a-likes, my good sir.
hahah, that's hilarious :D the hermie one is remarkably true!
i really appreciate your look-alikes... lol...
personally I watch the 1948 version of rudolph, though.. i have since i was an itty bitty... you should check it out

The pictures are nice and funny.. Children will like it.. Buy Steroids
Dave Grohl is quite possibly the greatest musician of all time. If the Foo Fighters ever broke up, I'd probably cry.
all comparision are really great, it makes me feel so funny seeing this, really makes me laugh a lot when I almost see it, I got with a big smile in my face.
