1. We now return
to The Today Show
Copy !req
2. with Matt Lauer sadly
looking in the window.
Copy !req
3. First up,
Rachael Ray will be here
Copy !req
4. to help us with a simple
Christmas recipe.
Copy !req
5. Can I come back now?
Copy !req
6. Then, Al will be in
to get you ready
Copy !req
7. with your Christmas
travel weather.
Copy !req
8. Are you guys still sore at me?
Copy !req
9. We also share your best tweets
about family visitors.
Copy !req
10. I thought about what I did.
Copy !req
11. That looks heavy.
Copy !req
12. Well, dragging a bin full
of decorations down the stairs
Copy !req
13. while repeatedly yelling
Copy !req
14. in front of my children
means only one thing.
Copy !req
15. It's Christmas time.
Copy !req
16. Yeah, Lois, I knew
it was Christmas a week ago
Copy !req
17. when the "O" in the PornHub
logo became a wreath.
Copy !req
18. - Same.
- Nice.
Copy !req
19. Listen, there's a lot of work
to be done
Copy !req
20. to make this place look festive,
and unlike most years,
Copy !req
21. where I do everything,
this year I want you all
Copy !req
22. to help
with the Christmas chores.
Copy !req
23. Come on, Lois.
You know the deal around here.
Copy !req
24. We split everything zero-100,
like most couples.
Copy !req
25. And I also have another request.
Copy !req
26. I'd like
to finally get a present
Copy !req
27. from the heart this year.
Copy !req
28. Not just
some defective clothing item
Copy !req
29. Peter got on clearance
at Marshalls.
Copy !req
30. But you love The Roling Stons.
Copy !req
31. Now, to make sure
you don't forget your chores,
Copy !req
32. I've made you each a list.
Copy !req
33. And I want all
of these completed by tomorrow.
Copy !req
34. Sorry. I can't do chores.
My trick elbow is acting up.
Copy !req
35. - Is that your card?
- No.
Copy !req
36. Oh, boy,
it's worse than I thought.
Copy !req
37. Why are we doing our Christmas
shopping at the strip mall?
Copy !req
38. 'Cause we ran out
of gas out front.
Copy !req
39. You got
to get that gas gauge fixed.
Copy !req
40. Look, Chris, did you want
the gas gauge fixed,
Copy !req
41. or did you want a year of Quibi?
Copy !req
42. The gas gauge.
Copy !req
43. I'm sure we can find everything
on Mom's list here.
Copy !req
44. It doesn't look so bad.
Copy !req
45. If this place doesn't have Baby
Yoda toys, I swear to God...
Copy !req
46. I'll probably buy something
with Spider-Man on it.
Copy !req
47. Okay, guys, now before
you can shop at a strip mall,
Copy !req
48. you have
to use the free-standing ATM
Copy !req
49. that's chained to a pole
Copy !req
50. and not affiliated
with any known bank.
Copy !req
51. Good. It's taking
an extra-long time
Copy !req
52. to read the card and probably
stealing the number.
Copy !req
53. Select "yes"
to pay $15 fee. No brainer.
Copy !req
54. Perfect.
Now I can't read the screen,
Copy !req
55. 'cause the glare is so bad.
Copy !req
56. And it's not giving me
my card back.
Copy !req
57. —Hello?
Copy !req
58. Yes, this is Peter Griffin.
Copy !req
59. Not anymore?
Well, thanks for telling me.
Copy !req
60. Look, there's a card
and nice paper store.
Copy !req
61. Let's go walk around it slowly
and let out tiny farts.
Copy !req
62. Hmm. Nice, thick card stock.
Copy !req
63. Ah, yes,
that's a very bright white.
Copy !req
64. Ooh, Century Gothic font.
Copy !req
65. Miss, this store
is for tiny farts only.
Copy !req
66. There's a Lids next door
for that sort of thing.
Copy !req
67. Welcome to the strip mall
H&R Block.
Copy !req
68. Yes, I'd like to do my taxes.
Copy !req
69. - How much does H charge?
- $59.
Copy !req
70. Hmm. How much does R charge?
Copy !req
71. $59.
Copy !req
72. Does R know H has a side thing
going with M? H&M?
Copy !req
73. I don't know what
you're talking about.
Copy !req
74. Is H back from lunch yet?
Copy !req
75. Sorry. He said he was held up
with a client.
Copy !req
76. You were with M again,
weren't you?
Copy !req
77. What? No, I wasn't.
Copy !req
78. Then why are you wearing
a designer-looking shirt
Copy !req
79. at a fraction of the cost?
Copy !req
80. Maybe I wanted to get caught.
Copy !req
81. I told you what I'd do
if I ever caught you cheating.
Copy !req
82. This is on you!
Copy !req
83. Why? Why?
Copy !req
84. What's up?
I was just taking a pee.
Copy !req
85. Someone call?
Copy !req
86. Sometimes they let me write
my own skits.
Copy !req
87. We now return
to CBS This Morning
Copy !req
88. with Charlie Rose sadly pressed
against the window.
Copy !req
89. Coming up this morning,
Christmas came early
Copy !req
90. for a group of first graders
in South Bend, Indiana.
Copy !req
91. You guys still cross with me?
Copy !req
92. Hey, how was the big day
of shop...
Copy !req
93. Wait. Where's all
the Christmas stuff?
Copy !req
94. Ah, yeah. About that...
Copy !req
95. I can't believe this.
Copy !req
96. Brian, where's Stewie's
Elf on the Shelf?
Copy !req
97. Meg, where's the twinkling
lights I asked for?
Copy !req
98. Peter,
where's the Christmas tree?
Copy !req
99. We don't even have a tree.
Copy !req
100. I'm sorry, Lois.
I got it all under control.
Copy !req
101. Don't you worry about a thing.
I'll be right back.
Copy !req
102. Peter, you did get a tree.
Copy !req
103. Oh, it's beautiful.
Copy !req
104. I sure did, Lois, because I love
you and I love this family.
Copy !req
105. Oh, Peter.
Copy !req
106. Peter. Peter.
Copy !req
107. Peter. Peter?
Copy !req
108. Peter Griffin,
what the hell is going on here?
Copy !req
109. Huh? Huh? What? Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
110. I was gonna go get all
the Christmas stuff,
Copy !req
111. but then I fell asleep
rubbin' one out
Copy !req
112. to Madonna's
"Santa Baby" in the car.
Copy !req
113. By the way, tonight's date night
is cancelled
Copy !req
114. due to lack of interest.
Copy !req
115. Peter, you were all supposed
to take the weight
Copy !req
116. of the holidays off my shoulders
for once, and you failed.
Copy !req
117. You all failed.
Copy !req
118. Brian, you're supposed
to be responsible.
Copy !req
119. Bad dog. Bad.
Copy !req
120. Damn it. And who got candy cane
all over the couch?
Copy !req
121. You know what?
I've had it.
Copy !req
122. Every year, my cousin asks me
to come to Cabo for Christmas.
Copy !req
123. Well, this year, I'm going.
Copy !req
124. You're all gonna see
how hard it is
Copy !req
125. to make Christmas happen
around here without me.
Copy !req
126. I am packing my bags,
and I'm out of here.
Copy !req
127. You're getting divorced?
Copy !req
128. No, I'm just leaving
for a few days
Copy !req
129. and ruining their Christmas.
Copy !req
130. You're ruining Christmas
Copy !req
131. by suing the city
over holiday decorations?
Copy !req
132. No, I'm just leaving my family
for the holidays.
Copy !req
133. You're doing deaf jokes?
Copy !req
134. No. No one's doing deaf jokes.
Copy !req
135. Well, I can't hear,
so I don't know.
Copy !req
136. She's not doing them.
Copy !req
137. - What?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
138. I think we... I think...
Copy !req
139. I think we are doing
deaf jokes at this point.
Copy !req
140. I can't believe Mom went to Cabo
Copy !req
141. and left us alone for Christmas.
Copy !req
142. What are we gonna do?
Copy !req
143. Well, I'll tell you
the first thing we're gonna do.
Copy !req
144. We're gonna delete all of her
pretentious crap off the DVR.
Copy !req
145. I want to be the one
to delete The Crown.
Copy !req
146. She never watched them.
She just had 'em.
Copy !req
147. Do it, son.
Copy !req
148. Well, well, well, The Crown.
Copy !req
149. How the tables have turned.
Copy !req
150. Remember this face?
Copy !req
151. The one that wanted
to watch Modern Family?
Copy !req
152. Well, payback's a bitch.
Delete!
Copy !req
153. "Are you sure you want
to delete The Crown?" Yes.
Copy !req
154. "Do you understand
that it's really good?" Yes!
Copy !req
155. "Are you sure? It will impress
your friends." Accept.
Copy !req
156. "You understand that we change
the cast every season."
Copy !req
157. Acknowledge.
Copy !req
158. "Come on. It's The Crown.
It's history." Don't care.
Copy !req
159. "You are not allowed
to delete The Crown."
Copy !req
160. We now return to The Crown.
Copy !req
161. I actually kind of love it.
Copy !req
162. Ah, me, too.
Copy !req
163. It's 'cause I'm trash,
and I love how fancy it is.
Copy !req
164. Dad, this doesn't help
with Christmas.
Copy !req
165. Yeah, we're screwed.
Who's gonna decorate?
Copy !req
166. Who's gonna
cook Christmas dinner?
Copy !req
167. Okay, calm down.
Now, I know your mom's gone,
Copy !req
168. and we're a little worried,
but Daddy's got a plan.
Copy !req
169. All right, everybody, go outside
and kneel face-first
Copy !req
170. in front
of Daddy's big pre-dug hole.
Copy !req
171. Come on, Peter.
We can do this.
Copy !req
172. All right, Plan B.
Copy !req
173. I take two pills I got
after my root canal
Copy !req
174. and listen to records.
Copy !req
175. It's been four days.
Copy !req
176. Huh. Not too bad.
Copy !req
177. First of all, these are
really good binoculars.
Copy !req
178. Second, this was a great plan.
Copy !req
179. Watching the family fall apart
without me is better than Cabo.
Copy !req
180. Ah. Look at them.
Copy !req
181. I'll get a phone call any minute
Copy !req
182. begging me to come back
and save Christmas.
Copy !req
183. But in the meantime, it's time
for a little relaxation.
Copy !req
184. Welcome to the Quahog Motel,
Copy !req
185. the winner
of Tripadvisor's award for
Copy !req
186. "Best In-Room Stationery to
Write Your Suicide Note On".
Copy !req
187. Yeah, this is gonna work.
Copy !req
188. Now all I have to do is lie here
and wait, like a cobra.
Copy !req
189. - Cobra? Party of one?
- Yes, that's me.
Copy !req
190. And would you like me to bring
your drink from the bar?
Copy !req
191. Uh, yes. I have no hands?
Copy !req
192. All right, time to put up
the 2020 Christmas decorations.
Copy !req
193. First, ethnically-accurate
Jesus goes right here
Copy !req
194. next to Father Mary
and Mother Josephine,
Copy !req
195. followed closely by
the three genderless Wise People
Copy !req
196. on their Bird Scooters,
Copy !req
197. Tig Notaro for some reason,
Copy !req
198. and of course,
the Little Drummer Them.
Copy !req
199. Because God forbid
we call a boy a boy.
Copy !req
200. - Dad, what are you say...
- I don't like what the world is!
Copy !req
201. I'm white!
When's it gonna be our turn?
Copy !req
202. Peter, relax.
Copy !req
203. How am I supposed to relax?
Copy !req
204. Christmas is tomorrow,
and that woman
Copy !req
205. who normally does everything had
Copy !req
206. to go help her sick aunt
or something.
Copy !req
207. - You mean Lois?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
208. The redhead with the voice.
Copy !req
209. She usually hangs up
these stupid Christmas lights.
Copy !req
210. And these stupid
Christmas wreaths.
Copy !req
211. And the white wire reindeers
that look like ghosts.
Copy !req
212. Dad, look.
Copy !req
213. Oh, my God, it's perfect.
Copy !req
214. —Hello?
Copy !req
215. Yeah, Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
216. Um, listen, Peter,
can you turn down those lights?
Copy !req
217. I'm in bed with a three,
and, um,
Copy !req
218. extra light is not her friend.
Copy !req
219. Oh, my God.
Stewie doesn't have a jacket on,
Copy !req
220. but other than that,
Peter's done it.
Copy !req
221. Yeah. Oh, you're gonna get it.
Copy !req
222. You like it rough, don't ya?
Copy !req
223. Oops, wrong room.
Copy !req
224. Sorry. We're excited.
My wife just killed herself.
Copy !req
225. What the hell?
Copy !req
226. They've never had a front yard
family snowball fight
Copy !req
227. when I was there.
Copy !req
228. Oh, and now the local news
is there.
Copy !req
229. Hello. I'm Tom Tucker.
This just in.
Copy !req
230. Husband does what wife normally
does, comma, makes headlines.
Copy !req
231. Come on. You can't be...
Copy !req
232. Oh, look at Quagmire
Copy !req
233. trying to sneak that three out
of his house.
Copy !req
234. Now they're standing
hand-in-hand?
Copy !req
235. It's like
they've never been happier.
Copy !req
236. Wait. What's Peter saying?
Copy !req
237. I...
Copy !req
238. love... you.
Copy !req
239. They better not say it back
Copy !req
240. also in distorted slow-motion
to emphasize my horror.
Copy !req
241. I... love... you...
Copy !req
242. too... Dad.
Copy !req
243. That's it.
Copy !req
244. There's only one thing to do.
Copy !req
245. I must put an end
to this whole thing.
Copy !req
246. I must stop Christmas.
Copy !req
247. Hey, what do you think
this is— a Lids?
Copy !req
248. come get
a camouflage Knicks hat
Copy !req
249. and let one rip.
Copy !req
250. Find us in the corner
of the mall
Copy !req
251. where all the lights
are going on and off.
Copy !req
252. Thanks for the ride.
Copy !req
253. And your unsolicited
racial theories.
Copy !req
254. I'm telling you:
is the Turks, every time.
Copy !req
255. - Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
256. And now, to ruin Christmas.
Copy !req
257. Who left all
these dirty dishes out?
Copy !req
258. Okay, much better.
Copy !req
259. I'm not even gonna think
about the grocery situation.
Copy !req
260. Okay. Ruin Christmas.
Here we go.
Copy !req
261. Don't even care if they
transferred the wet clothes
Copy !req
262. from the washer to the dryer.
Copy !req
263. Oh, you see?
I knew it. I knew it.
Copy !req
264. Santa Claus?
Copy !req
265. Why are you taking
our Christmas tree?
Copy !req
266. Why are you in pigtails
and a little girl's nightgown?
Copy !req
267. Okay, okay, maybe
we both forget what we saw.
Copy !req
268. God, I hate being alone
during the holidays.
Copy !req
269. Wait!
Copy !req
270. Hello, Joan.
My name is Glenn Quagmire.
Copy !req
271. I'm just calling to see
if I have a payment due
Copy !req
272. on my Discover card.
Copy !req
273. What? No, I'm not alone
on Christmas.
Copy !req
274. I'll have you know I'm actually
here with my very large family.
Copy !req
275. Uh, prove it by telling you
my children's real names
Copy !req
276. that don't sound like
I made them up in a panic?
Copy !req
277. Uh, uh, Bloofus and Klunt.
Copy !req
278. Look, there's kids, okay?
Copy !req
279. Oh, what, you don't believe me?
Copy !req
280. Bloofus, that vase
was irreplaceable.
Copy !req
281. Oh, boy, Joan, I'm gonna
have to let you go.
Copy !req
282. Wait. You think I was the one
who knocked over that vase?
Copy !req
283. How dare you, madam.
Copy !req
284. Oh, now Klunt's acting up.
Don't have kids, Joan.
Copy !req
285. It's a big mistake.
Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
286. Merry Christmas, everybo...
Hey, what happened?
Copy !req
287. Peter, I... I think
we've been robbed.
Copy !req
288. I can't believe it.
Copy !req
289. They stole the presents,
they stole the decorations.
Copy !req
290. They even stole our tree.
Copy !req
291. I want my presents.
Copy !req
292. Okay, let's just settle down.
Copy !req
293. Everybody kneel in the backyard
Copy !req
294. in front of Daddy's
big pre-dug hole.
Copy !req
295. You know, Peter,
this never would've happened
Copy !req
296. if you hadn't gotten rid
of that Ring doorbell camera.
Copy !req
297. Ugh, someone crapped
on the porch again.
Copy !req
298. I'm checking the footage.
Copy !req
299. Whoever it was probably
had no choice, is my guess.
Copy !req
300. Their family was probably
using all the bathrooms.
Copy !req
301. That's probably what happened,
whoever did that.
Copy !req
302. We now return to Tony Bennett's
Copy !req
303. Half-Asleep
Christmas Spectacular.
Copy !req
304. Tony!
Copy !req
305. Coming up
- on Tony Bennett's
Copy !req
306. Half-Asleep
Christmas Spectacular,
Copy !req
307. a duet with Willie Nelson.
Copy !req
308. Guys!
Copy !req
309. I'm back from Mexico,
and definitely not
Copy !req
310. - Cost Plus World Market.
- Welcome back, Lois.
Copy !req
311. I cleaned and got groceries.
Copy !req
312. But I'm afraid we have bad news:
we've been robbed.
Copy !req
313. Robbed?
Copy !req
314. On Christmas?
Copy !req
315. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
316. I-I go away for one Christmas,
Copy !req
317. and everything goes
down the drain.
Copy !req
318. All of you must
feel so terrible.
Copy !req
319. Well, we did, until we realized
there was one present
Copy !req
320. - we still had.
- There is?
Copy !req
321. - Yeah, Mom. Yours.
Copy !req
322. Remember how you said you wanted
a gift from the heart this year?
Copy !req
323. Well, we all got you something.
Copy !req
324. We kept it upstairs
because we didn't think
Copy !req
325. you'd be here for Christmas.
Copy !req
326. Oh, well, that's nice.
Copy !req
327. We really made a point
to stay on top of the dishes
Copy !req
328. while you were gone.
Copy !req
329. Here you go, Mom.
It's from all of us.
Copy !req
330. Read the card first.
Copy !req
331. We put Brian's name on it,
but he's just the dog.
Copy !req
332. "Dear Mom, we're sorry
Copy !req
333. "we disappointed you
this Christmas.
Copy !req
334. "We know you put
a lot of hard work
Copy !req
335. "into making
Christmas memorable.
Copy !req
336. "We love and appreciate
everything you do.
Copy !req
337. "We'll never let you down again.
Copy !req
338. That you can count on."
Copy !req
339. Wow. That's...
Copy !req
340. that's really nice.
Copy !req
341. - There's more on the back.
- Oh.
Copy !req
342. "You see, having a mom
is not something
Copy !req
343. "we take for granted,
because you only get one.
Copy !req
344. "And the one we have
is perfect in every way.
Copy !req
345. We love you."
Copy !req
346. It's beautiful, you guys.
Copy !req
347. Now use this black light
to read what we wrote
Copy !req
348. in invisible ink
while This Is Us'
Copy !req
349. "sad stuff's about to happen"
acoustic guitar plays.
Copy !req
350. "Mom, from the very start,
Copy !req
351. "you've always been there
for us.
Copy !req
352. "And we know you've
always supported us
Copy !req
353. "and would never do anything
to let us down or hurt us.
Copy !req
354. "Thanks for making
every Christmas so memorable.
Copy !req
355. We love you so much, Mom."
Copy !req
356. Oh, God, I'm gonna cry.
Copy !req
357. And look up in the sky.
Copy !req
358. Aw, we should've read
that one first.
Copy !req
359. Now open your present.
Copy !req
360. Wow.
Copy !req
361. W-What is it?
Copy !req
362. It's a bowl we all made for you
in a pottery class.
Copy !req
363. A denim-shirted
lesbian named CJ helped us.
Copy !req
364. It's...
Copy !req
365. it's beautiful.
Copy !req
366. And what happened next?
Copy !req
367. Well, in Quahog they say,
Copy !req
368. Lois's heart grew three sizes
that day.
Copy !req
