Highly quotable.
My Santa suit smells like urine!
Honey, I don't play with money, I marry it.
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A Las Vegas holiday broadcast of the game show Celebrity Quarters opens with its announcer and a grubby Santa bartender, then a host introduces the contestants: an anxious Renee Zellweger, a hyperactive Richard Simmons, NBA player Ron Artest, William Hung and Anna Nicole Smith. After each names a charity, the rules are read out: bounce a quarter into a glass to force someone to drink eggnog, use Christmas nicknames instead of names, and take an eggnog bong for swearing. Anna Nicole refuses to play with money, William accidentally breaks the naming rule and ends up on the bong, and the game dissolves into a chaotic tangle of Santa, funnel and kissing.
The rabbit hole continues
