Christmas with The Klumps
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
In this send-up of The Nutty Professor, Aries Spears plays Papa, Mama and Grandma Klump around their Christmas dinner table. Papa grumbles about Eddie Murphy's latest film choices, the family argues over holiday wishes, Michael Jackson and whether Santa Claus could be black, and Grandma flings a dinner roll at her son-in-law. Their guest, Arnold Schwarzenegger (Pat Kilbane), is soon pulled into the chaos: Papa needles him about earning millions despite his accent, Grandma openly propositions him, and a crude party game has him recognizing a tune from his own Jingle All the Way before he excuses himself for some fresh air, promising to return.

Santa's about love, and love has no color.
Oh, he'll be back, he'll be back, he'll be back.

Aries Spears plays all three Klumps, one of the characters he created on MADtv. The family's first MADtv dinner came earlier in season 3, when Prince (Phil LaMarr) joined them.

Papa Klump
Honey, you hear that Sayin' about Eddie Murphy?
- 00:09
Mama Klump
Oh, now, Cletus, you're not gonna ruin our Christmas dinner with Eddie Murphy talking.
- 00:12
Papa Klump
Well, why the hell not? Boy, ruinin' my Christmas dinner? Boy, I could make another one of them good Hollywood cop movies, but no. He playin' a freaky doctor that talk to the animals. Dr. Dolittle. What the hell's he thinkin' about? Dr. Do-very-little-at-the-box-office-if-you-ask-me.
- 00:26
Mama Klump
Cletus, you don't need to be so hard on that boy. He just tryin' to make ends meet, and you always bein' so hard on him.
- 00:30
Grandma Klump
Speakin' of hard, you know what I want for Christmas? I want one of them young Mexican gardens. Tell you, I'm watering my lawn right now just thinking about it. I hope Santa Claus bring me some batteries for my little toy.
- 00:44
Papa Klump
Oh, damn, woman! Now you done put a picture in my head. I done carved me a big piece of Christmas ham here, and I can't even eat it. Talking about your lawn.
- 00:51
Papa Klump
Hell, I don't know where to make your lawn grow.
- 00:55
Grandma Klump
Santa, you keep that up. I'm gonna come over there and cut a piece of Christmas ham off your big, black, chunky head.
- 01:01
Thank you. Thank you.
- 01:03
Papa Klump
You missed
- 01:04
I
- 01:04
Papa Klump
me, bitch.
- 01:04
Papa Klump
I'm sorry, old woman.
- 01:09
Grandma Klump
Bring it down. Come on, you old babbit.
- 01:12
Mama Klump
That's enough. Now, we shouldn't be arguing at Christmas.
- 01:15
Papa Klump
All I'm saying is that Eddie Murphy shouldn't be doing a movie where he pays it free. Like, anybody gonna pay good money to see Eddie Murphy talking big cheap? It's like if Michael Jackson did a movie about getting his hands all over them young boys.
- 01:26
Papa Klump
Ho, ho, Captain EO, Captain EO, Captain EO.
- 01:29
Grandma Klump
You know something? Um, I think Michael Jackson and I were getting along famously. My ex-husband, wherever the hell he at, he always used to say to me, I got the ass of a 14-year-old paper boy. Who did it? Who did it?
- 01:43
Night and time.
- 01:44
Mama Klump
Mama, now, it's Christmas. We should be talking about giving and not receiving.
- 01:47
Grandma Klump
I'll tell you one thing. If I ain't giving, I better be receiving. Who did it? Who did it?
- 01:53
Papa Klump
Hell with Christmas. You think Santa Claus is gonna bring his fat white ass into this neighborhood? Hell no.
- 01:57
Mama Klump
Now, that's enough, Cletus. Listen, I'm not gonna have you disrespect my mama like that in my house. Santa's about love, and love has no color. Besides, you don't know that Santa Claus is not a black man.
- 02:05
Papa Klump
I know Santa ain't no black man, because ain't no black man gonna come home late at night and want himself some milk and cookies. He gonna want himself some pork chop sandwiches and lima beans. Besides, if he was black, we wouldn't get a gift to the 26th. Instead of unloading his sack, he'd be loading it up. VCRs, camcorders, TVs, posters, everything.
- 02:21
Grandma Klump
Cleves, what the hell you know about being on time?
- 02:24
Papa Klump
Hmm, well, I do know what time it is now.
- 02:29
Mama Klump
Ladies, you can do this in front of our guests. Arnold, is it like this in your house, baby?
- 02:34
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Sometimes Maria talks with a potty mouth, but I just tell her to shut up.
- 02:40
Papa Klump
I tell you, Arnold, you're the real American dreamer. Come over here, can't speak good, get $25 million to be in a Batman movie. That's what it's all about.
- 02:49
Arnold Schwarzenegger
It makes me very proud to make all that money.
- 02:51
Papa Klump
And it should. Get to make all them movies, blowing people away with your big guns. Hell, I blow people away, too.
- 02:59
Papa Klump
How you like that? Now where the hell is my 25D?
- 03:02
Grandma Klump
King, any time you want to get all sweaty, you can come on up to Grandma's room and we can pump some ass.
- 03:07
Grandma Klump
I'm in this way. I'm in this way.
- 03:12
Arnold Schwarzenegger
I would like that.
- 03:14
Grandma Klump
You're damn right good. You like it all night long.
- 03:18
Papa Klump
Hey, anybody want to play Name That Criminal Song?
- 03:20
Mama Klump
Oh, Cletus, don't you dare.
- 03:22
Papa Klump
Oh, woman, please. Here we go.
- 03:29
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Great. I know this one. This is from my movie, Jingle All the Way.
- 03:33
Papa Klump
Talk about a stinker. What a bum.
- 03:36
Papa Klump
Ha ha ha!
- 03:38
Arnold Schwarzenegger
I need some fresh air. I'll be back.
- 03:41
Mama Klump
I'll do what you got to do.
- 03:45
But if I meet another man...
- 03:47
Grandma Klump
Oh, he'll be back, he'll be back, he'll be back.
- 03:52
Papa Klump
Unfortunately.
- 03:53
Grandma Klump
Can't act worth a hell, but damn, he look good.
- 03:57
Mad TV will be right back.
