 This episode is brought to you by The Matrix Resurrections, in theaters and on HBO Max December 22nd. It's impossible to dodge tennis balls at this range! Huh. With that attitude. Out of the way, soldier. I'll show you kids today how it's done. Alright, give me your best shot. Warf! Ooh. Gah! Ooh. Don't look at me. Don't look at meeeeee! Don't look at him. We're gonna need a medivac. Ooh. In the middle of something. It's like a Greek tragedy, but for nerds. Oh. Oh! A geek tragedy. Okay. I try my best. No time for character growth, Axel. Just got word from on high. The cameo protocol has been initiated for Shatter Squad Base. Don't you mean camo? No, he doesn't. Standard issue cameo happens every year around the holidays. Someone very special is going to make sure our base is in tip-top merry condition. Who? I love special guests. It's against protocol to know. That's the military for you. They love a good audience reaction. But you know what ruins even the best cameos? Shenanigans. But that's all we've got. It's true. We're up to our ears in Shenanigans. You can see now why I'm concerned. We've got to get these Shenanigans under control. Quick. Yes, sir! Okay. Which Shenanigan should we take care of first? How about Latin Lopez? Potez, D'Carré, Lopez. You sure are Lopez. Ed Quare, Mutas di Volca, Ma'am, Chia, Mutas di Lingua, Ma'am. Don't tell me you mixed up Latin American and Latin. It was a pull-down menu and I clicked too fast. It can happen to anyone. Why didn't they always just say Spanish? Papu Luzqui, Disposuera, Amentes, CQ2. It's like he's casting Harry Potter spells on us or something. Well, I think he sounds distinguished. Isn't that right, little guy? Nope. Expelliarmus. This bit's over. One Shenanigan down. Prologan receptacles. Is this Shatter Squad base? Uh, yeah. What are you doing here? Oh, that's Sarge. He's a colonel. That's not confusing. Well, not if you're familiar with the chain of command. And you know what they say about chains. It's the squeaky-linked at Cubs and Mustard. It's just a weird saying they teach commanding officers. So is the colonel and the trash can our special guest? Nope. I'm here because I heard the special guest was on their way. Got an AARP card that gets me into special events, even when I'm not on the cash list. This is starting to feel like more Shenanigans. Impossible. At my rank, I'm allergic to Shenanigans. Now, someone help me out of this damn trash can. Seeing as I'm stuck, you'll probably need to lube up the old glutes. Come on now. Get in the crevices. Let us in, Rob. And give me infinity! You did not. I did so. I just said I did. I don't see why we're just doing push-ups while we wait. Yeah. Not getting any younger over here. Are you kidding? Is your best years to be pushing up? Greetings, everyone. Oh, hey, Sena. Wait. Is this our special guest? He doesn't even look like the actual Santa. Yeah, he's like a virtual mall Santa. Without the beard. Or bourbon breath. I don't know. A virtual Santa isn't so bad. No long lines. No crying kids. No serious talks from your mother about having to put those sneakers you wanted on lay-away. Just in case you turned out to be a bad little boy after all. Yo. You good, X? Holidays are hard. Taking too long. I need more knives. And airpods. It seems there has been a mistake. I am not a virtual mall Santa, nor am I your special guest. I am here to witness the special guest's arrival. Wait. So if neither of you are the special guest, then who the heck is it? I don't know. But after all this build-up, it can't possibly be disappointing now. Ho, ho, ho, heroes. Happy federal holiday. Oh! I'm here to gift you with your doom! Ha! Just kidding. I brought hot apple cider and some cheap gift cards. I didn't know whether to go on feast or not, so you'll have to share. I should have known. He does this every year at the Christmas party. Just don't let him get started on the holiday karaoke. I thought you loved zero. Oh, come on, you faithful. Okay, fine. I have a new one. Anyway, we wish you a special guest must we wish you a special guest. All right, I'm gonna stop you right there. Zero Santa is a solid bit and all. But to be honest, after all these hype cameos, we really thought our special guest would be somebody, you know... Cool. But I'm the bad guy bringing holiday cheer. Even I understand this time of year is special. And I just want all my frenemies to know that there's nobody else I'd rather be fighting with. And that's because... Damn, it's just getting sadder and more lame. All right, let's go. I guess we got our hopes up too much. Probably somebody else's fault. Is this what the kids refer to as playing yourself? Or is it playing with yourself? I can never get no strength. Fine. Special guest episodes are always kind of lame. At least we got some good push-ups out of it. Happy federal holiday! Hello? God damn it, I better still get paid for this. We wish you a special guest must we wish you a special guest must we wish you a special guest must and a happy new year. Thank you as we bring to you and your squad. We wish you a special guest must and a happy new year. Thanks for checking out that episode of Red vs. Blue.
