I think I was drunk when I made my who/what notes on paper. It's updated now.

Frank #2 is still missing from the Stuart sketch. That was him as Santa, right?

I'm going to review this episode since it was just reran on FOX...

Memoirs of a Geisha: I didn't see what all the hype was about this skit...It was ok, but not the greatest thing ever. I still think the stuff Bobby is doing this season is better then ANYTHING he did last season...but I guess this does beat Bae Sung/Tank. Meh, this was ok I guess. Also notable that it was Bobby's only appearence of the night. ½
Open: Neil Patrick Harris: This was pretty hilarious. One of the best openings of S11 IMO.
QVC: Quacker Factory: Nicole Parker is a genuis. This rocked. One of the best sketches of the episode. ½
Stuart: Santa: Stuart just isn't funny without Doreen. This wasn't very good, but it was probably the best Mo-less Stuart sketch. Nicole Parker also looked really cute as the elf. So that earns an extra point! ½
Sean the Floor Leader: New Manager: This was one of the worst STFL sketches. It wasn't terrible and Neil Patrick Harris actually did a pretty good job, but it was nothing great, and ran on way too long.
Inside Looking Out: Kwanzmas Carols: This was absolutley hilarious. Everything about it was funny, from Nicole's musical earrings, to the "We havent been invited back since" line. But the best part of it was when Dontell was singing "I saw three ships sailing..." and Pat-Beth said "That brought you to America!". Everyone says the one in 1204 is the only one where Dontell really reliazed Pat-Beth's racist remarks, but I think he started to get it in this one too. All in all, an excellent sketch, one of my favorite ILO sketches.
Jazzed For Crafts: Rodeo: I thought Jazzed For Crafts was kind of decent, and I thought this was probably the best Jazzed For Crafts sketch. Overall, a pretty solid sketch.
The Silver Fox: Holiday Edition: The Silver Fox can't hold a candle to 7AM Condo Report, but this wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be, but a lot of it did fall flat. Still, Isador thinking the old ladies were strippers was hilarious. ½
Close: Ike and Cast: It was just a close, but I have to say I don't understand why they brought back cast closings for S11 and then dropped them in S12. I hope they come back, they're better then just continuing a sketch. Still, it was a close, so no rating.

Overall: This was a pretty solid episode. Not everything was great, but nothing totally bombed IMO. This year's Christmas episode was a million times better, but this was definitley one of the better S11 episodes. This was the point where Season 11 started going from horrificly bad to pretty good, IMO.

8/10

I did NOT like this episode that much, the only part that was mildly good was the Neil Patrick Harris part.
