Exchanging Chrimbus Gifts
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
As Tim and Eric try to sign off from their Chrimbus Special, Eric stops the goodbyes to demand the present he has been promised all show, chanting for it while their furry friend Dee Vee stands between them. After a quick scolding of a crew member named Scott for a missed cue, Tim hands over a jar of tartar sauce, which Eric declares useless because he is allergic to fish. Eric returns the favor with a paper bag of wet bathing suits, chosen because Tim loves the water, except Tim cannot swim. Both mumble grudging thanks as the studio audience watches.

Highly quotable.
Scott, come on. Pay attention to cues.
Actually, I'm highly allergic to fish, so thanks a lot for this. It's useless.
I can't swim. You know I can't swim.
