oakenguyOver in a comic book community, folks are talking about the Spider-Man stage musical and about pictures of two of the villains. Specifically, these:
Which...yeah. Green Goblin on the left, and on the right is a new character named Swiss Miss. NOT, as you might think, the lovechild of Lady Gaga and Snow Miser.
As if this wasn't enough to make my brain overheat for the night, to be 100% sure I had the name right I went to Snow Miser's wiki page, and discovered...well, let me just quote it:
In the 2006 NBC live-action remake, he is played by actor Michael McKean. Also, rather than miniature versions of himself, his underlings are replaced by women in white swimsuits and scarves, warring with Heat Miser by firing giant icicles from a ballista.
Michael "Spinal Tap" McKean, two years after winning his Grammy, as Snow Miser. In a holiday special that includes a ballista fight.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.
YouTube, bless its copyright-ignoring heart, actually has the song clip from the 2006 show. And Harvey Fierstein, as Heat Miser...my god, scenery chewing? He makes Raul Julia look like Keanu Reeves. It's like he's in the Scenery Competitive Eating finals and he's determined that this year, by gosh, Shatner's not gonna walk away with the trophy.
I have to go lay down with a damp cloth over my head now.
