Aw, yeah! 00:06
It’s holly jolly time, y’all! Who’s ready for the big Christmas concert? 00:09
Well, that’s later... But right now, let’s get some dress-rehearsal-style 00:17
applause for Angela! 00:22
Thank you! Thank you! 00:25
Alright, guys. Here’s a Christmas song my grandmother used to sing to me 00:27
when I was a little girl. 00:31
Now there’s just one thing I want for Christmas. 00:34
Here’s some things I like about Christmas… presents! 00:37
True that! 00:42
Mistletoe! 00:43
Uh-huh! 00:45
Candy canes! 00:46
Canes of candy! 00:48
But you know what I hate about Christmas? 00:49
What's that? 00:52
Reindeer! 00:53
Reindeer? 00:54
Reindeer! Stomping on my roof! 00:55
Stomping on my roof! 00:57
Eating all my carrots! Pooping on my snowman! 01:00
Filthy, nasty reindeer! 01:04
Get off the stage! 01:07
Oh no! Why? Is there a fire? 01:10
Your singing stinks as bad as your feet! 01:12
A heckler?! In my club? 01:17
You better show yourself before I throw yourself. 01:19
Sorry, Angela, I feel terrible about this! 01:22
Then why are you doing the worm? 01:25
Worms can feel terrible. 01:28
Angela, why are you so upset? It was just a heckler. 01:45
No, Tom, it was more than that. 01:49
Much more. It brought me back to another time I was heckled... 01:52
Filthy, nasty reindeer! 01:58
Pooping on my snowman! Pooping on my snowman! 02:00
Get off the stage! 02:02
Your singing stinks as bad as your feet! 02:05
Who would do that? Who would heckle a sweet, little girl 02:12
singing a nice song about Christmas? 02:15
Well, all the doors were locked, we’re the only ones here. 02:18
And I was on stage, so you know it wasn’t me. So... 02:21
So that means the heckler is... 02:25
one of you! 02:28
Oh! That’s my new ringtone. 02:31
I for one, am shocked and appalled that someone would heckle Angela. 02:34
Well, you shouldn’t be, considering the heckler is... you. 02:38
Oops. Sorry. 02:45
A simple Internet search of “Tom” and “heckler” shows that you, Tom, 02:46
received not one, not two, but three after-school detentions for heckling. 02:51
And one of them was at a Christmas concert! 02:57
Tom, you heckled? How could you? 03:00
That was a different time! I was young and desperate for attention. 03:04
I never stopped talking. I was a real blabbermouth. 03:08
Couldn’t shut me up! I would just go on and on and on and on. 03:10
Tom! 03:14
The point is, that was a different me. Okay? I would never heckle Angela. 03:15
I wish I could believe you. 03:20
You can! Angela, wait! 03:22
I have to find the real heckler and clear my name! 03:26
Luckily, I know everything there is to know about solving mysteries, 03:34
thanks to my favorite show, “Professor Bloodhound and Constable Larry.” 03:38
You know, that show where the characters spout British cliches to try to sound smart. 03:42
Indubitably, old chap! 03:48
Without having done any actual detective work besides wearing this hat, 04:01
which I fancy, I can conclude, with some degree of certainty, that the heckler is... 04:06
Ben! If that’s your real name... 04:12
You have no idea what you’re doing, do you? 04:15
I’ll ask the questions here! 04:17
Yes, Professor Bloodhound will ask the questions! 04:19
Ben, is it or is it not true that you recently developed an app called... 04:22
The Hecklematic?! 04:29
The worm hath turned! 04:31
Well, yes I did, but... 04:32
And what does the app do? 04:34
Well, it heckles. 04:37
Ah-ha! I mean “ah-haa” (British). 04:38
Crumpets! 04:42
It wasn’t me! I only made that app to train myself to deal with hecklers 04:43
while I’m doing stand-up. Look, see, okay, here. 04:47
Why do magnets win beauty pageants? Because they’re so... 04:52
attractive! 04:58
Boo! Your comedy is terrible! Boo! Get a real job! You’re awful! 04:59
Ginger... that was a heckle! 05:04
Oops! 05:09
What? Oh, you think I’m the one who heckled Angela? 05:10
Well, you do enjoy heckling. 05:13
Right, Inspector Bloodhound-Tom? 05:15
Ginger, of course! It’s so obvious, it hurts! 05:17
It wasn’t me! I’ll prove it to you. 05:21
Hank, let me ask you something: you sleepwalk, right? 05:24
Sure, every night. 05:28
And while sleepwalking, you scream at anyone who crosses your path... 05:29
Of course... 05:34
And what was your favorite part of Angela’s performance? 05:35
I don’t know. I fell asleep. Oh, crumpets. 05:37
Ah! This is ridiculous. Tom, your investigation hasn’t proven anything. 05:43
And you’re the only one who’s ever heckled at a Christmas show. 05:48
So as far as I’m concerned, you’re guilty. 05:50
Please, Angela, you’ve got to believe me! I’d never heckle you! 05:53
Guilty! 05:58
Angela’s honestly like the single most amazing person I’ve ever met... 06:00
If she think’s I’m the heckler, she’ll never fall 06:05
You think I'm in love with Angela? Oh, come on! 06:09
Okay, righto… Ah... Look, I know we’re stumped, but I promise, 06:13
we’re going to find this heckler... somehow. 06:19
Hey, whenever Professor Bloodhound’s stumped, he and 06:22
Constable Larry always do two things: have a spot of tea and then 06:24
return to the scene of the crime... 06:28
Oh, that’s dreadfully good! 06:33
As a servant of the Crown, I demand to see the security footage 06:40
from Angela’s rehearsal! 06:43
Aw, yeah! Follow me! 06:46
Uh-huh. Zoom in there, if you please! 06:50
Zoom that in. Enhance! 06:53
Make it so. 06:55
Ah-ha! Hank, I’ve got a feeling I know who our heckler is... 06:57
Jolly good work, Inspector! 07:03
Boo-ya! 07:05
Look at him! He's doing the running bloke. 07:06
Yeah. I have a different dance for every mood! 07:09
Right now I’m surprised and kinda hungry! 07:12
I’ve gathered you all here at the scene of the crime, 07:18
so that I can reveal not only who heckled Angela tonight, 07:21
but who heckled her way back when in kindergarten... because you see 07:26
the two hecklers in question are in fact one and the same. 07:32
Oops, sorry, I’ll put it on vibrate. 07:39
And these bikkies, which I believe you call cookies will prove it! 07:43
Wait! Who’s that?! 07:51
Hold it right there! 07:53
Okey-dokey. 07:55
Ah-ha! I knew it! Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you... your heckler! 07:56
Santa?! 08:03
Ho-ho-ho-ho. Guilty as charged. 08:04
I knew it. I mean like I didn’t know it but I like knew it. 08:06
What?! Santa, why would you heckle Angela? 08:09
Have you ever really listened to the lyrics in her Christmas song? 08:12
Filthy nasty reindeer pooping on my snowman, pooping on my... 08:17
Okay, I guess, you know maybe out of context, those lyrics could 08:23
sound a bit anti-reindeer. I’m sorry. 08:27
Wait, Tom. How did you know it was Santa? 08:31
Well, think about it. All the doors were locked, which means the heckler 08:35
had to find another way into the club, like a chimney. 08:39
Oh! There’s a chimney right there! 08:42
Right. Stay with me, buddy. 08:44
But what about the robot voice? 08:46
You mean this voice? 08:48
Ho-ho! Just a gadget that the elves made for me. 08:51
I’m sorry I heckled you, Angela. 08:55
The important thing here is that we solved the mystery 08:57
and now we know for sure that I’d never-ever-ever-ever do 09:01
anything to hurt Angela’s feelings. Ever… 09:05
Good. Now do you think you can still play the Christmas concert? 09:11
Let me tell you about the dopest Christmas I ever had! 09:15
Getting heckled by Claus, 09:21
So... it’s Christmas Eve, bro. You going to tell her how you feel? 09:24
Whaaat? I mean, I think she’s, uh, super swell and an upstanding citizen, but- 09:28
Tom, I’m Santa Claus. 09:35
I know when you’re sleeping, I know when you’re awake, 09:37
and I know when you’re lying. 09:39
No… eh, no. No. 09:42
Oh hey Angela, hi! 09:45
I’m so psyched I can perform again! And it’s all thanks to you, Tom. 09:47
I got you a little something. 09:54
You did? You didn’t have to do that. 09:57
And I think it really sums up how much you mean to me… Oh, gotta go. 09:59
Oh! “Just Friends Forever...” 10:08
Huh. Well, the “just” part seems a bit unnecessary... 10:11
Get some of that funky you, yo! 10:16
Reindeer stomping on my roof, stomping on my roof, eating all my carrots 10:28
pooping on my snowman, pooping on my snowman. 10:35
Filthy nasty reindeer pooping on my snowman. 10:41

Your singing stinks as bad as your feet!
A heckler?! In my club?
You better show yourself before I throw yourself.
Sorry, Angela, I feel terrible about this!
Then why are you doing the worm?
Worms can feel terrible.
Angela, why are you so upset? It was just a heckler.
No, Tom, it was more than that.
Much more. It brought me back to another time I was heckled...
Filthy, nasty reindeer!
Pooping on my snowman! Pooping on my snowman!

Key Grammar Structures

  • Now there’s just one thing I want for Christmas.

    ➔ Present Perfect Simple (want)

    ➔ The sentence uses the Present Perfect Simple to express a desire that continues to be relevant up to the present moment. The focus is on the *state* of wanting, not a completed action. The phrase 'just one' emphasizes the singularity of the desire.

  • But you know what I hate about Christmas?

    ➔ Indirect Question

    ➔ This is an indirect question, introduced by 'what I hate'. It's a more polite and less direct way of asking a question. The word order is statement-like, not question-like (no auxiliary verb inversion).

  • Filthy, nasty reindeer!

    ➔ Exclamatory Sentence, Adjectives as Intensifiers

    ➔ This is an exclamatory sentence expressing strong negative emotion. 'Filthy' and 'nasty' are used as intensifiers to emphasize the speaker's dislike. The repetition adds to the emotional impact.

  • Your singing stinks as bad as your feet!

    ➔ Comparative Adjective with 'as...as'

    ➔ This sentence uses the comparative structure 'as...as' to show that the singing is equally unpleasant as the smell of the feet. 'Stinks' is a colloquial verb meaning 'smells very bad'.
