The Festivus Pole and Traditions

[fcnoyes]

is this for real?

[trubiz4u]

I erected a pole, small one

[thatoneguy1972]

2:25,oh like wagner. The problem is eventualy all cool things get ruined and turnes into a comercial money making machine. Like every holiday there is a sale.

[idwoof]

Festivus Pole is UNADORNED!  Remember that people. Otherwise, it is just as bad as a damn Christmas tree!

[WisdomRiver]

do people really take this seriously?

[punkskaweb]

@WisdomRiver

do people really takes Xmass and any Religion seriously???

[1KevinsFamousChili1]

OMG WAGNER FESTIVUS POLES ACTUALLY HAS A WEBSITE!! xD (don't think it's real though)

[butkusrd]

your an idiot! how can you write a book and change Festivus when you got the idea from Seinfeld? get a real job!

[rickmckee]

Really?



[rickmckee]

by the way... that was a sarcastic "Really"

[jice12]

This is fucking stupid. It was funny on Seinfeld. That's where it should stay, and the only way it should be remembered.

[DeafMuteZombie]

lol

[ShmapnShmazz]

Who the f*ck is this guy? Making up his own date and traditions about Festivus. You didn't create this, man. Frank Costanza did, and he makes the rules.

[ryan473]

@ShmapnShmazz actually one of seinfeld's writer's dad made it up.



[tickattack]

Xmas sucks & Festivus rock!

[82fc13la]

doesnt "wagner" violate the very idea of festivus? no commercialism!

[mcpain2006]

Wow.. we got a badass over here.. wrote a book about something he stole from a Seinfeld episode

[frizzzzzzal]

I should really be doing my homework right now

[spyderpig369]

@frizzzzzzal yup me too

[self345]

Isn't commercialization of Festivus (selling of festivus poles, wine, etc. )against its essence?

[tcpwrap]

@self345 One can't speak of there idea of a day of celebration before someone also contemplates profiting from it. You could lead a campaign to get pajama day a national holiday, someone would be selling commemorative pajama day pajamas. How about pajamas that are red white and blue? I would assume someone in a position to propose and approve a holiday with at least limited following, would be like someone with insider information. Could make a killing, very good strategy.

[PhilAOFish]

Liberal douchebag

I bet you enjoy poles huh? You like mounting them right?

[luminaeus]

@PhilAOFish

Atheism isn't inherently conservative or liberal. I'm rather conservative myself. But until Republicans stop fellating religious groups, I'm not going to vote for them.

[utwspfan]

I want my 2:32 back (I couldn't suffer through any more of this dribble). You are not funny young man.

[Sinjinator]

That aluminum can pole is cool! LOL

[sybo59]

Mr. Salkin (writer of the Festivus book) recently wrote an article wishing Christopher Hitchens a swift death. Fuck this man, and fuck Festivus by association. This may be valuable knowledge for many of you.

[greg5566]

I'm getting the pole out of the crawl space! Every time I go down to my basement and see my crawl space I think of Frank.

[JustinT2]

I thumbs downed as soon as they said "the problem with december 23'd"

[EmpireTower]

This clown needs a festivus pole along side the head. Maybe twice!

[90newman]

This is an absolute discrace, you should be ashamed.

[USAMontanan]

Happy Festivus!!

[teel6060]

How do I get my 4 1/2 minutes back? :(

[greg5566]

I just really don't understand this. Adopting the humor of Seinfeld as your own and expanding on it, but it's just Seinfeld. Me no understand.

[1crazy1austrian1]

@greg5566 it was actually already existing, and just written into Seinfeld by one of the writers.

[greg5566]

@1crazy1austrian1 You can't possibly really believe that.  That's like saying the blinding red light in Kramer's room is real because Kenny Rogers Chicken "already existed."

[1crazy1austrian1]

@greg5566 LMAO, your reasoning is invalid, i think u must be a retard, your example bears little relevance.

[timbulb]

This fucking fuck doesn't have a fucking clue!

[solarpowerxx]

dumb... this is not festivus.

[sirchums]

who is this guy?! and why is he trying to get people to buy things. festivus is about avoiding the commercial aspect of christmas, so making money out of it goes against the very idea.

dusch bag

[twidgetfitch]

This is a disgrace to the genius of Seinfeld. 1 star.

[glassresistor]

where does he get the right to tell us how festivus is celebrated.

[dtsimpson74]

exactly, festivus is only on the 23rd.

[TMCube]

Fail...

[JohnnyP5379]

Wow, this dude totally ruined Festivus.

[blackturtleneck]

Brutal. One star.

[ben0rama]

this guy is full of BS. he didn't have anything to do with the creation of Festivus, and certainly is not an authority on the subject.

[mrbadguy91]

Dude, get a life !

[michiyoyoshiku]

1 starred for ignoring the sienfeld episode

[pkripper32]

Happy Festivus

[musiclovergirl13]

no it has to be the 23rd!!! otherwise - this is funny :)

[chillingworth68]

You can't make your own rules! Festivus is on the 23rd!

[msuemnig]

Come attend the annual Festivus party in Minneapolis, MN at the Nomad World Pub on Dec 23rd! Feats of Strength, Airing of Grievances and the Festivus Pole! Come and celebrate that most holiest of days with us!

[WWoodyW]

l0l at the cans

[YouSmellLikeACat]

Limbo? Party? Festivus should only consist of wrestling.

[devilsgrasp]

lol, the wine and greeting cards, and all the other crap completely go against one of the main points to festavus, no commercialization!

[karoloandria]

festivus: a holoday were we show what we realy feel

[tcsonline]

Stop ruining a great bit of comedy !!!

[Shaboozzy]

This guy just discounts the Seinfeld episode. Fuck you guy. Seinfeld is how this shit got popular.

[me213516]

"Anytime you feel you need Festivus, it's Festivus."

[Trencher1375]

Seinfeld festivus is genius.

This is just hangers on who drive the joke into the ground and tries to scam people out of money.

[mojo510561]

I think Festivus will endure as a holiday for years to come. It is a celebration of sillyness.

[UltimaFenrirX]

Seinfeld rules the world!!!

lol Ive never seen the show.

[lavvy2585]

LOL

some people will follow any idiotic idea. Have fun

[theberlindoctor]

Including christianity.

LOLz

[lavvy2585]

christianity has basis but what would you know about it?

[talkissos]

Ask anyone you know, and none of them can tell you the reasoning of the Christmas Tree. It's just has stupid as any other holiday.

[lavvy2585]

The tree is a pagan symbol so what?

[talkissos]

The point is that there is no point or meaning in Christmas or any other stupid holiday. (ex. Easter - "Because Jesus resurrected, let's make a holiday where bunnies lay painted eggs and hide them so little kids can run around aimlessly with no reward at the end of the day). Christmas is more of a commercial and media propelled holiday, and has lost all of its religious meaning.

[lavvy2585]

I am not going to use this page to debate religion with you. Easter has nothing to do with Christ resurection Neither does Santa claus have anything to do with Christ birth but that does not make it BS just the same. The Holidays are not stupid either but if you want to be bah humbug I still respect you for that.

[talkissos]

I think Festivus is an amazing holiday, because 1) It has no religious affiliation, so anyone can participate 2) It's the only real holiday, because it admits it's bullshit in the beginning 3) It's fucking awesome.

[lavvy2585]

LOL

[Mewfan]

@talkissos And it uses aluminum poles which has a very high strength-to-weight ratio

[GustoMaximus]

fail

[Daedalus317]

What a dumbass

[Braun4Ever]

cool!
