All language subtitles for Urkel Saves Santa

[exclaiming]

The holiday season is here.

And I've been knitting
the perfect sweater
for Ugly Sweater Day.

Just so you know,
I don't think you're ugly.

I could spend forever
in your arms...

Your itchy, scritchy-scratchy
wool arms.

[kisses]

So nice.

Thanks, Urkelbot.

Now that it's officially
the holiday season,

this room feels
so November. Ugh.

But this is the perfect time

for me to try out
my newest invention.

Steve Urkel Industries presents
the Decemberizer!

With a simple flip of a switch,

the holidays are
at your fingertips.

Oops!

[groaning]

[breathes heavily]

[gasps]

Oh, no.

Oh! Bright lights.

Happy holidays, Mrs. Paxson.

I'm looking forward
to your eggnog cookies
this year.

Uh, don't skimp
on the cinnamon.

Happy Early Hanukkah,
Mr. Kalan.

That's not a thing.

It's just Hanukkah.
And it hasn't started yet.

But that doesn't mean
you can't get a head start
on celebrating.

Anybody need help getting
holiday lights out of
a musty basement?

Kochiyama family?
I'm looking at you.

Steve, dear.
What we need is sleep.

But, I let you sleep in
this year!

Sure, compared to last year,
when you woke us up
at midnight!

I just want this holiday season
to be the best it can be!

And that means we can't waste
a minute of it!

- As one of Santa's helpers.
- Steve?

One of Santa's
"unofficial" helpers,

I want everything to be perfect
for the big guy

when he arrives. It's my job...

Not your job.

...to make sure there's enough
good cheer spread

into every nook and cranny
of this month.

It's not
an English muffin, kid.

It's a month where we buy
more candles and wrapping paper
than usual.

Oh, I beg to differ,
It's Mr. K! Smell the air!

It's different
during the holidays.

Smells the same to me.

Like snow
and pumpkin spiced garbage.

You can't get that in July,
which is why Santa doesn't
show up in the summer.

He shows up in December

because Santa's drawn
to the lumens of string lights,
the pollen of mistletoe,

the euphoria of giving gifts
and higher concentrations
of goodwill.

I always assumed
it was the Christmas carols?

Those too.

Now who wants to head
to the mall for a little
mall-iday window shopping?

Steve, how can I put this
delicately?

- No!
- What he said.

Well, that was not the answer
I expected.

Here's a thought!
You all rest up.

Dream some holiday
themed dreams.

And when I get back,
I'll be going door to door

to test and untangle
everyone's holiday lights!

These holidays aren't gonna
celebrate themselves!

[doorbell buzzes]

This package needs a signature.

I know you're in there,
Mrs. Paxson.

[Jordan] Go, get him!
Guard up on him!

He can shoot!
Oh! Time out, time out.

Steve! Wait up!

Hey, thanks for fixing up
the court man. It's amazing!

Aw, no sweat Jordan!
Well except for the sweat
on the court.

[chuckles and snorts]

I'm glad that
my microwave powered,

climate controlled concrete
is a hit!

Microwave powered? Wait, wait!

Is it going to stunt our growth
or anything?

Not at all. My Urkel Industries
patent-pending Clima-Crete
is perfectly safe.

If anything, it might make you
grow a few inches.

- Really?
- [chuckles] No.

You're probably never gonna get
taller than five foot ten,

just basing that on your
general bone density
and family history. Sorry.

Now Horace
on the other hand, whew,
you might hit seven feet!

Hey, uh, you should
take your jacket off
and stay a while.

As much as I'd love
to impress you

with this killer cross over,
I've gotta head to the mall!

It's a big day!

They're lighting up
the giant Christmas tree.

- What? They like plug it in?
- Yes!

Over two thousand
twinkling lights
and shiny ornaments!

I like to oversee
the stringing of the garland.

Make sure the popcorn
to cranberry ratio isn't off.

Do you get paid to do that?

No. It's sort of a
volunteer position I created.

It's tough and tasty work
but someone has to do it.

The city's gotta be perfect
for when the big guy arrives
on his sleigh!

Oops! I almost walked off
with the rock.

Hey Horace! No look pass!

Whoa? What! What the?

Steve! What'd you do?

You're always saying
how you want to make it rain
buckets on the court,

so there you go!

I built a rain machine.

Although I don't know
why you'd want to play b-ball
in the rain. It seems slippery.

But I guess that's how
the Splash Brothers
got started.

Did you know
the Splash Brothers
are not really brothers?

On, no... is that?

Doh, it's the holiday boy.
Nope. Not today.

He can catch the next bus.

[grunting]

Ah! There's something
wrong with this bus.

- Ah! Here! Let me help you!
- Hey! Hey! Hey! Put me down!

I'm on a schedule here.

I need you all to scoot.

Thanks for riding the Metro...
You old weirdos.

- [old lady] I'm okay.
- Phew!

Happy holidays,
Sheryl the bus driver!

Ugh! Holiday boy.

Take me to the Twin Ferns Mall
and step on it!

And by "step on it,"
I mean "drive safely and make
all of your scheduled stops."

Ugh!

And we're on our way!

♪ Dashing through the snow
on a city bus ♪

Nope! Not this year!
No singing!

I'm going to need you
to dial your energy down
to about a three.

Out of nine hundred.

Starting today,
the Twin Ferns Mall

gets its annual mall-iday
makeover!

Giant snowflakes hang
from the ceiling.

Tinsel everywhere.

Oh, there's nothing like
seeing the first fake snow
of the season.

Picking out a Christmas tree...

scented candle.

Ooh, I do love
a scented candle.

I don't understand!

Where are the mall-idays?

[sighs] Looks like
I'm finishing my route
after all.

Wait, is that a sale
at Tanya's Confidential?
30% off?

Excuse me!

Um, why isn't the giant
Christmas tree up?

Is it on the way?

Is it stuck in traffic
along with the giant
inflatable dreidel

that is usually in the
parking lot wishing everyone
a Chag Sameach?

Business has been slow
at the mall,

so they figured why bother
with a big tree and decorations
this year.

Wha? Santa is not going
to like this!

Oh! Don't worry,
we still got a tree. See?

Pretty nice, right?

A very merry mall-iday to you!

Where's the tinsel?
Where's the candy cane
colored clothes hangers?

Where's the apple cider!

It just smells like pretzels
in here!

Why hasn't the piercing booth
become a gift wrapping station
yet?

It's too cold to get
a nose ring!

[gasps]

[screaming]

Oh, thank goodness.

Welcome to Santa's Village.

Are you ready
for a holly, jolly time?

Is this place?

Where's all the tinsel?
The lights and fake snow?

It's the mall-idays!
Come on, people!

- Who are you?
- Steve Urkel.

I'm one of Santa's helpers.

Really? Then why am I
the one wearing a nametag
and dressed like an elf?

What? You're an elf?

I figured you were
some bored kid
with weird taste in shoes.

[laughs] My shoes? Look at you!

Are you rocking saddle shoes?

Oh, I am. And when I click
my heels together,
they can do this.

Perhaps purple and gold
is more your speed?

Or maybe black and green?
How about red bottoms?

- Okay, those are pretty cool!
- [laughs]

Thank you.
I created an LED leather.

[laughs] I don't need to know
the science.

Just take the compliment,
Steve Urkel.

It's taken like bacon.
Nom, nom, nom, nom.

[laughs] You're kind of corny.

Hmm, corn. Nom, nom, nom...

[laughing] Okay, okay.

My name's Robin.
You want to meet Santa?

Well, to be clear,
Department Store Santa.

- You can just call him Santa.
- Oh, no!

There's an
important distinction!

Not to minimize the role
of the DSS...

DSS?

Department Store Santa.

It's more than a job,
it's a calling.

Department Store Santas
hear the wishes of children.

There's tall Santas,
short Santas,

Santas of every shape, size
and gender.

Department Store Santas
must be of the highest caliber.

With ears that can hear
the voices of the
shiest children.

They must have the nicest
of beards.

Not too long,
but not too groomed
that they seem aloof.

A Department Store Santa
has healthy knee cartilage

to provide support
for the husky child.

And a Santa suit so soft
it feels like a cloud.

And so red it can be seen
in the dark.

These heroes take up
the thankless mantle

that comes with sitting
in that sleigh!

I am honored to be
in the presence
of such greatness.

And a little bummed out
that there aren't more people
here to witness his majesty.

Hey, you there!
Gaze upon this greatness!

I'm gonna keep gazing
on these sales, but thank you!

[Jerry]
Sheryl, what's your twenty?

Uh, the snow is really
slowing things down.

[making static noises]

I'm [static noises] losing
[static noises] you.

[static noises]
Can't [static noises] hear
[static noises] anything.

[giggles]

Robin, I don't want to quibble,

but if you want to
impress Santa,

you might want to open
that gate with little more flash.

Let's take it again,
but this time with some pizazz!

Look, Steve, I get that
you're a fan of Santa.

- A helper of Santa.
- No. I am a helper of Santa.

Sure, the department store variety.

Boy, stop it!

You can go through
this gate and meet Santa

or me and these mall issued
jingly bells will pizzazz you
out of this place.

I'll go with the first option!

Cannonball!

[gasping]
Aagh! What's happening?

- The Purge?
- Hey there, big guy!

So great to see you
this year, DSS.

Now my name should be
on one of your lists.

Hopefully the "nice" one.

All right, all right.
Just slow down, kid.
Slow down, now.

Santa gotta do a few warm up
"ho-ho-hos."

Oh, sure, sure. Take your time.

Ho-ho-ho.

[in normal voice] Ho...
[low-pitched] Ho...
[high-pitched] Ho.

[higher-pitched] Ho-ho-ho.

[clears throat] Okay, I got it.

Ho-ho-ho!

Eh...

Oh, gimme a break!
I'm a little rusty!

Got to come in here
for these ho-ho-ho's.
I don't get to practice them.

Now, what would you like
for Christmas, uh...

[whispers] Steve Urkel, sir.

What would you like
for Christmas, Steve Urkel sir?

I only want one thing
this year.

One thing?
That's very considerate of you
to keep Santa's bag light.

So what is it?
A new video game system?

A puppy dog?
Please don't say world peace.

- Cheese!
- Are we taking a picture now?

No, I want cheese
for Christmas!

Hmm, cheese?

You thinking like
a grocery store cheese plate
with some charcuterie?

Maybe a cheese of the month
club type of thing?

Not quite. This year,
I'd like a taste of
one of the rarest,

most exquisite cheeses
in the world.

Ooh. You're a boy
after my own heart.

I like a fine cheese.

- [camera shutter clicks]
- Stop it! Stop it!

What are we talking about?
A stilton? A Manchego?
A nice camembert?

Serbian donkey cheese!

- Serbia who now?
- Serbian donkey cheese.

Do that sell that
at one of those fancy
grocery stores?

No.
You have to travel to Serbia...

Where you must take
a ferry to a small,
remote village,

there atop a mountain
that can only be reached
on foot,

lives one cheese monger
who has perfected the art
of milking donkeys.

Eww. Gross.

Which isn't easy,
because donkeys don't produce
much milk and they kick. A lot.

Let me get this straight.

You want cheese
from a tiny horse?
For Christmas?

- Yep.
- Whoa!

Serbian donkey cheese
is expensive!

That's more than
I pay in rent!

You sure you don't want
a puppy?

I can't. Allergies.

Aw! You're allergic to dogs?

No. Dogs are allergic to me.

The sound of my voice,
to be exact.

The decibel range is a little
too harsh for their sensitive cochlea.

Okay. Well, Santa will see
what he can do
about your cheese.

Oh! Robin!!

Okay. Who's ready for a photo?

Donkey cheese!

People are really missing out
on capturing a special moment
like this!

Why is your phone so old?

It looks like it could be
my phone's grandmother!

Electronic waste is such a huge
environmental problem,

so rather than buy a new phone,
I figured it might be nice

to see if I could breathe
new life into something old.

Oh, sure.
Kind of like rebooting
an old movie or TV show?

Um...

Hey, I should post this photo.

Once people see me having
all this holiday fun,

they'll want to get their photo
with DSS

and that'll kickstart
a yuletide celebration

that will pique
Santa's interest!

[exhales] Okay.

And just like that
we're viral, baby!

I'm an influenza!

You mean influencer?

Not when you're this viral!

I'm taking away my like.

Oh! Whoa, mama!
Guess who is going live
right now?

Dudley Von Durffel!

- The billionaire?
- The tech genius!

Who is a billionaire.

People call him
the "real life Bruce Wayne."

In that he has unresolved
trauma at the tragic loss
of his parents?

No! Because he's crazy rich!

The guy owns a yacht
that is also a hot air balloon!

No, having a yacht air balloon
isn't what makes him cool.

Dudley Von Durffel is cool
because he sees innovation
where others don't.

Hello! Wave emoji! Wave emoji!
[laughs]

It's me, Dudley Von Durffel.

Just maxxin' and chillaxin'
poolside 20,000 feet in the air

and I figured why not check in
with my Von Durffollowers.

Is he bored and desperately
looking for connection

to feed the insatiable appetite
of his growing ego?

Ugh, thumbs down emoji!

I just want to get
to know my peeps, VDI!

Huh? Again?

Let's find someone cool
to interface with.

Ugh! Here's a person:
@steveurkel.

That's me.

How is your phone's camera
better than mine?

Hello, Dudley!
I'm such a huge fan!

I'm an inventor myself.

It appears he is a five time
winner of his state's science fair.

Uh, okay, well, I was
a nine time state
science fair champ.

- Boom!
- Wowzer!

Right? I want to give you
some advice, @steveurkel.

- Oh, just Steve is fine.
-@steveurkel... you need
to stop inventing.

What?

And start disrupting!

I've got to be honest, Steve.

Disrupting things seems like
it could upset people.

Maybe @steveurkel's friend--

Facial recognition says
her name is Robin Robles.

You know that I'm not using
names anymore!

The future of communication
is handles! Okay!

On the socials I'm @robirob381.

Thank you! @robirob381.

There was a time when people
traveled everywhere

by horse drawn carriage, okay.

But then Henry Ford
disrupted all of that
with the automobile.

Does that make Henry Ford
a bad guy?

Not for the car stuff,
but definitely for some
of the other stuff.

Fair point... He was...
He was not a good person.

No. He was a real l-o-s-3-r.

Auto correcting.
He means "loser."

Inventing is giving people
what they want!

Now disrupting is grabbing
people by the collar
and yanking them

into the future! Yeah.

Huh? what do you think
he means by... Help!

No. I just changed it

and this baby is
a very expensive,

really, like really,
fuel inefficient thank you gift
for myself. Yeah.

Whoa! Whoa!
Keep it steady, VDI!

We've got some choppy
skies up here.

You see, this is why we need
to get rid of the wind!

Ugh. @steveurkel,
look around you.

Is there something
that you see that
could be better for society?

Hmm. Since it's the holidays,
maybe there's a way to spread
even more holiday cheer?

Well, if you think the holidays
need shaking up,

then find a way
to disrupt them, buddy.

The nicest thing you can do
for people

is disrupt their lives
for the better.

- Okay?
- All right.

- I'm going to disrupt
the holidays.
- [thuds]

Um...

Steve.

Look at that.
You've already started.

Thanks, Urkelbot.

If this is going to become
the best holiday ever,

I need to become
Santa's Number One Elf.

Ooh! Even better!

Santa's Urkelf! But what to do?

Hmm. We might be pulling
an all-nighter.

Ah! I think I've got it!

Oh, that's good.
That's really good.

Ow, that's hot!
That's really hot!

One hot cocoa,
milk and two sugars.

Thanks.

You catch the game last night?
Nobody was rebounding!

And then they had the nerve
to just play zone defense
for a bunch of possessions.

Good morning, festive friends!

Steve?
What are you doing here?

Wait, are you one of those kids
that wants to pull on
Santa's beard?

Collect the hair to make
a pillow that hears
your wishes?

I've heard about creepy
Santa super fans like you.

I'm not a super fan!

I'm here
in an official capacity.

[exhales] You're not
one of Santa's helpers.

Well, technically speaking,
I'm one of Santa's disrupters!

It's a different department
than helper!

I'm here to make sure
the holidays are operating
at peak performance,

and that means making sure
everyone has a great holiday,
even you, big guy.

I was thinking since people
aren't coming to the mall
as much,

how could we get more people
to see DSS?

Start a podcast?

Last night, inspiration struck.

Kids still need to see Santa,

so I built something to help
spread a little of that
mall-iday cheer.

I made you an app
that lets kids call you
whenever they want.

You built an app overnight?

And you're still this chipper?

Hmm. That's a pretty
great idea, Steve.

So the kids and I
can connect virtually?

Even better.
Let me see your phone.

Don't go through my photos.

Just... bringing it online.

- What the--
- That's right.

Why just talk to Santa
on your phone

when you can have him
delivered to your door
with the press of a button.

You failed to mention the part
where you also built engine
powered reindeer.

Oh, no no no no no!
I do not like this idea!

[screaming]

What the Monterey Jack!

Steve! Stop this thing!
Take us back to the mall!

But you don't want
to disappoint the kid
who just requested you!

Fine! Fine! But at least
slow this thing down!

On it.

Whoopsie!

Whoa, whoa.

Oh, my gosh! Oh! Oh, my heart!

Santa?

[giggles]

Ho-ho-ho! Hey there. Uh...

Scottie.

Hold up, Steve. Are you an elf?

Did you go through the
six week training program?

Oh. My mistake.

Scottie Harper.

Hello, Scottie.
Why don't you

hop on Santa's lap
and we can discuss--

- [Urkel] Uh-oh.
- What is "Uh-oh," Steve?

- [Department Store
Santa screams]
- [Scottie yelps]

[Department Store
Santa exclaiming]

How're you do--
[exclaiming]

When I was burning
the midnight oil... [exclaims]

I may have
forgotten to... [exclaims]

create a subroutine...
[exclaims]

to manage the requests...
[exclaims]

So, every kid who's
requesting Santa right now

is going
to get Santa right now?

[all shouting]

[Department Store
Santa shouting indistinctly]

[Department Store
Santa] Steve!

Ho-ho-ho...
[exclaiming]

[exclaiming continues]

Oh, relax, big guy.

It's just a little hiccup.

[Department Store
Santa shouts,
exclaims indistinctly]

A hiccup? Steve,
shut it down! Shut it down!

Take us back
to the mall right now!

- Right now!
- [explosion]

[all whimpering, exclaiming]

Steve, you might wanna
hold on to something!

Huh?

[all screaming]

[explosion]

Nope. No critters
on my bus.

[all continue screaming]

[debris clattering]

[grunts] Whoa, Nelly!

Wait a minute.

Where's
Department Store Santa?

[Department Store
Santa] Steve!

- [yelps, grunts]
- [objects clatter]

[groans softly]

Did I do that?

[laugh track plays]

What is wrong with you?
[strains, grunts]

I just wanted everyone
to have an amazing holiday.

And you figured you'd do that
by blowing up my sleigh
and destroying my pants?

I have no pants.
I have no pants!

- But you do have
very classy underpants.
- [grunts angrily]

These are bugs
that can be easily fixed.

As Dudley Von Durffel
likes to say--

Dudley Von Durffel
didn't do this, Steve.

You did.

There's a city full of kids
who didn't get to see Santa,

but did see
a bunch of reindeer explode!

And to top it off,
you destroyed Pretzelegance.

[man crying]

Please, DSS,
this was a beta test.

[reindeer head
crackles, whines, thuds]

I can iron out these
wrinkles, get you back up
and running in no time.

We're all Team Santa here.

No, Steve.

This is what
I've been trying to tell you.

You're not
one of Santa's helpers. I am.

I mean, I was until
you destroyed Santa's Village.

"Destroyed" seems
like a bit of an exaggeration.

[objects creak, thud]

[Urkel] Well, uh...

"Destroyed" makes sense.

Do you wanna know
why I was working here?

I wanted to surprise my dad
this year and get him
some ESL classes.

He's from Ecuador
and he always worries
his English isn't good enough.

So, I thought
it would be a great gift.

That is really thoughtful.

But thanks to you, now I can't.

Robin, I didn't mean
to destroy anything.

I just wanted
to help make the holidays
the best they can be.

You-- You wanna help?
Don't help.

Stay away, very far away.

You've ruined everything.

If I were you,
I wouldn't even count
on any horsey cheese.

Uh, donkey cheese.

[yells]

[grunts]

Huh? Mm? Mm.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

[laughter, applause on TV]

From mall-iday to malady,

Christmas is under attack!

[bystanders screaming]

Did I do that?

[slowed audio]
Did I do that?

Oh, ho, ho,
he did do that, America.

That bespectacled bully
made a fool of Santa Claus.

And since
now I'm showing it to you
on national television,

he made a fool of Santa Claus
on national television.

Steve, how can you
watch that lady?

Every week,
she's finding a new thing
that is "destroying America."

Last week it was empanadas,
and empanadas are amazing!

My only regret, it took me
so long to learn that.

Urkelbot likes her show.

Probably a good thing
Urkelbot can't talk.

Or vote.

[mechanical
grinding, creaking]

We just wanted to make sure
you were feeling okay
after you blew up the mall.

He didn't blow up the mall.

Sorry. Just a bunch
of reindeer and Pretzelegance.

which, good riddance.

Ow! Hey, I'm old.

Mr. Kalan's right.
I messed up the mall-idays.

DSS and Robin are mad at me.

But it's not just that.
I mess up everything.

I ruined Jordan's
basketball game
with his friends,

I woke the neighborhood up
super early.

Steve, you're being
too hard on yourself.

Look, you might be a little...

- Awkward?
- Goofy?

A bumbling,
butter-fingered klutz?

I was gonna say, eager.

But we all know
your heart is in
the right place.

Dudley Von Durffel said
I should disrupt people's lives
for the better.

But when I tried,
I made everything worse.

So, I was thinking,
maybe I was disrupting
the wrong thing.

Maybe what I need to disrupt
this holiday season is myself.

Don't tell me,
you've built a contraption
that's going to turn you

into some sort
of smooth-talking cool guy.

Not at all.

Being cool has
never been my problem.

Whoa!

Behold, my newest invention.

I call it a nice ticker.

It's an okay ticker.

No, it's called a nice ticker.

It will help me make sure
the holidays are great

by keeping me
from screwing them up.

Every year, I go over
to Mr. Kalan's to help him
light his menorah.

- And my drapes.
- Exactly.

So, the watch told me that,
this year, I should send
Urkelbot in my place.

You want me
to celebrate Hanukkah
with your robot?

His latkes are delicious.
He makes them with
ricotta cheese.

That sounds
like something from
one of those fancy food shows.

- [watch beeps]
- See, Mr. K's holiday
just got a little better.

The more things I do right,
the more points I'll get

while making sure
we stay on track for

a wonderful holiday
that Santa will love!

Oh, Steve.

If you weren't covered
in grease, I'd hug you.

- [Urkelbot drones]
- No, thank you, robot.

Steve, honey,
the holidays are great
because you're a part of them.

Yeah, Steve.
Isn't today Jay-Z's birthday?

Why don't we all
go Jay-Z caroling?

That would be a wonderful thing
we can all do together.

- [watch buzzes]
- Hmm. The watch
says I shouldn't.

But, Steve, you love
singing loudly on the street.

You can sing the curse words.

Let's be honest.

I bet I'd get really excited
singing "Hard Knock Life,"

and accidentally step
on Mrs. Kochiyama's foot,

which would then
make her jump in pain.

She'd slip on
an icy patch of sidewalk

and go tumbling into Mr. Kalan,
causing him to break his hip.

That does sound like
something you could do,

and something that
my hip could do.

Yep, it all tracks for me.

And then, he'd have
to spend Hanukkah
in the hospital.

So, I'd ruin another holiday.

- [watch beeps]
- See, I'm
already scoring points.

Oh, this is great.

You all go. Have fun.

Okay, but it won't be
the same without you.

- [watch beeps]
- According to my data,
it will be 47% better.

Robot, if I fall asleep,
that's not permission for you

to turn my microwave against me
for your robot uprising!

I know what goes on
among youse.

I read books. I got Wi-Fi.

Hey, Urkel, come here.

We could use another player.

This snowman really
isn't playing much D.

- [watch buzzes]
- Hmm.

The last time I was here,
I got everybody
soaked with rain.

I should probably
sit this one out. Thanks.

[watch buzzes]

Okay, holiday boy,
we've gone a mile and a half,

and you haven't
sung a single thing.

- What's up, huh?
- You don't like singing.

And I don't
wanna ruin your day.
So, no singing for me.

So, you're just
gonna sit there all quiet,

even as the wheels on the bus
go round and round?

- Round and round,
round and round?
- [muffled exclaiming]

- [watch beeps]
- [sighs]

Have a nice evening,
Sheryl, the bus driver.

You, too, holiday boy.

[Jerry over radio]
♪ The wipers on the bus

- It was cute when
he does it, Jerry, not you!
- [radio beeps]

Hey, Steve.
What are you doing here?

I wanted to say sorry
I messed up everything
at Santa's Village.

Thanks. I appreciate that
you came here to apologize.

I know I'm not one
of Santa's official helpers.

But I made you something
that I hope will make
your holiday a little better.

Steve Urkel Industries
proudly presents
my latest invention,

The ESL-met.

It takes
anything you say or hear

and translates it
automatically into
the language of your choice.

[ESL-met speaking Spanish]

[chuckles]
If my dad ever needs
to slay a talking dragon

or sing a rap hook,
I'll hit you up.

But I don't think he's much
of a helmet-to-work guy.

[ESL-met speaking Spanish]

That's cool, Steve,

but I wanted to get my dad
ESL classes myself.

Sometimes, he helps me
with my school work.

[chuckles] He'll make up
silly songs to help me
remember math equations.

It's corny, but I like getting
to spend that time with him.

I don't know.
I guess I just figured

it'd be fun
to do the same for him.

Trust me.
I've crunched the numbers
and run simulations.

Your dad is going to love this.

He's going to have
the best Christmas ever,

and you're going to have
a great holiday because of it.

- [watch beeps]
- See?

Is that a step counter?

No.

It's my newest invention
to help me make sure

everyone has
the best holiday ever.

It's keeping score
of everything I do to hack
this holiday season.

Who are you keeping score for?

Santa.

He's only going to come
if everything and everyone
is perfect. Even me.

You'll see,
my science is sound.

Look, your wreath is crooked.

Hm. Looks fine to me.

Nope. It's off
by three degrees.

Now, that might seem small.

But it could be the difference
between someone walking by

and feeling joy to the world,

or simply mild satisfaction
with the globe.

Joy, mild satisfaction.

Happy mall-idays.

I hope you have a wonderful
shopping experience.

Where's that holiday smile?

[watch beeps]

Hey, Mrs. P.
Doing some malI-iday shopping?

Yep. Got all my presents
for my sister's family.

Can I count on you to help me
gift-wrap everything this year?

I'll make eggnog cookies
and we can watch a scary movie.

- [watch buzzes]
- My nice ticker reminded me
that I'm bad at wrapping gifts.

Every year, I mess it up
and you have to
rewrap everything

while I eat all the cookies
and fall asleep on your sofa.

I don't mind.

It's nice having your company.

Thanks. But if you want
to have a wonderful holiday,

you need someone or something

that can help you wrap up
those gifts, lickety-split.

That's why I built you this.

It's a giftwrapping
machine that I call
The Hardcore Wrapper.

It can make paper, mix tape
and get jingly with it, baby.

There's not a box
it can't beat.

Ooh.

What is it?

It's a coffee mug warmer
for my niece.

I found it at
that fancy tech store.

You put a cup on it
and it stays warm.

How old is your niece?

She's nine.
Do you think she'll like it?

[watch trills, dings]

Sure. Why don't we
get our wrap on?

[Hardcore Wrapper whirring]

- Oh, wow, that's wonderful.
- [watch beeps]

Feel free to wrap away.

I need to head inside
and check on DSS.

Look at me.
I'm a hardcore wrapper.

Oh, you don't want
none of this, honey.

I spit bars,
fire, fire bars.

Well, well, well,

if it isn't Mr. Donkey Cheese.

- [camera shutter clicks]
- [grunts] Robin!

Hey, DSS,

I just wanted to apologize
for screwing things up.

I'm sorry.

Thanks, Steve.

I'll be honest.
I was mad at you.

But for you to come here now
and apologize to me,

face-to-face...

- Aw, geez...
- [camera shutter clicks]

- [sputters]
I said, geez!
- [camera shutter clicks]

[chuckles] What?
It was a touching moment.

To show you how sorry I am,

I wanted to give you something.

That's very nice.
But my doctor said

my heart can't take
any more gifts from you.

Oh, but you're
already wearing it.

I fixed your Santa suit.

You did this?
Thought this was from the mall.

The fit is nice.

Look at your boy,
all swagged out.

You got Santa
looking like a hype piece.

Wait. It's not gonna do
something weird, is it?

Nope. No tech.
Just sewed it up with

- a needle and some thread.
- [watch beeps]

Thanks, Steve.
We're all gravy, and cheese.

Nothing? You're not gonna
take a photo of this 'fit?

I look good.

Between you and me, DSS,

your suit wasn't in
the best shape to begin with.

So, I reinforced everything
with some synthetic fabric

to make sure
it stayed both soft and sturdy.

Synthetic fabric?
Like polyester?

Wow, Steve, I was wrong.

You really are
winning the holidays.

And it's only gonna get better.

This year, we're gonna
knock Santa's socks off.

[shouting] I'm allergic
to synthetic fabrics.

Or his pants.

It's like
super-soft poison ivy!

It's nice and painful.

Aah! When I scratch,
it makes my fingers itchy.

[Mrs. Paxson] Steve!

[people screaming]

Oh, no. I'm
making things worse.

Hold on. Hold on.

I know what to do.
I can fix this.

[all] No!
Don't fix anything!

But... But...

What we need is
someone to disrupt you, Steve.

- [clamoring
in the background]
- Wait a menorah.

I know just the guy.

This guy says
my hair looks fake?

What? [hesitates] No.

Hi-ho, Dudley.

[screams, grunts]

Who are you?
How'd you get here?

Are you one of those ghosts
here to show me my Christmas
past, present, or future?

No, it's me, Steve Urkel.

We met the other day,
fellow disruptor.

- Who?
-@steveurkel.

@steveurkel, IRL?

Uh, okay.
Uh, what can I do for you?

I took your advice and
tried to disrupt the holidays

and make everything
perfect for Santa.

I built this nice ticker
that pushes me to find ways

to make sure everyone
had a great holiday.

But I kept
screwing everything up.

Hmm. You've gamified
being in the holiday spirit?

[laughs] That's fire... emoji.

I don't think the problem
is you, @steveurkel.

It's not?

You turned the holidays
into an amazing game.

But a game is only good

if you can get other people
to play it, too, okay?

What if we
scaled this up a bit?

And got everyone
playing for the holidays?

Exactly.

Maybe we lose the watch
and turn it into an app.

A really nice app?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
But how about
a Von Durffel app?

Ooh. That's wonderful.

No, kid, it's Von Durffel.

VDI, get the dev team
on this, stat.

- I want this live in 24 hours.
- [Urkel grunts]

Can you get it ready
in 24 hours?

You're right.
Let's do it in six.

[chuckles]
Congratulations, kid.

You're about
to disrupt the world.

[watch beeps]

You have a question?

No, I was...
I was trying to high-five you.

Oh. It looked like
you had a question.

Maybe angle
your arm down a little more.

Or maybe, I was disrupting
the way we do the high-five.

Very cool.

[chuckles] Thanks.

Now, let's get you
off my boat.

[sighs] Dudley's app
should be online now.

Oh, wow.
So many people
have already downloaded it.

That's great.

Oh, Santa's gonna
be so proud of me.

Everything's gonna be
so festive that he'll
make sure

this is the best holiday ever.

Good morning, Mr. Kalan.

Good morning, Steve.

Just turning
the Kochiyamas' car

into everybody's
favorite Christmas character,

Rudy, the holiday moose.

I think you mean reindeer?

- Their car is a reindeer.
- Moose, reindeer,
what's the difference?

I mean, they're
different subspecies,

not to mention,
antler size and shape.

[phone beeps]

Yes! Seventeen points!

- Ooh, chag sameach, Mr. Kalan.
- [phone beeps]

We've spent all morning
perfecting a matzah ball
soup recipe.

And some rugelach.

Let's get in that kitchen
and get you a Hanukkah meal.

- [phone beeps]
- Yes!

That's so wonderful.

Did you see Rudy, the moose?

It's nice. We don't
really celebrate Christmas.
But thank you.

- [phone buzzes]
- [grunts]

I got you, Kochiyamas.

For the new year,
you celebrate with
a kagami mochi.

- And I made you
a lawn ornament.
- [phone beeps]

- [phone beeps]
- [exclaims] Yes!

Take that, Mr. Kalan.

Livingstons, you
celebrate Kwanzaa, right?

Let me help you do that!

- Happy holiday, Steve.
- [phone beeps]

I said it first.
Why didn't I get more points?

No, Horace.
I insist your team
have the ball.

- Happy holidays.
- [phone beeps]

- [phone beeps]
- Oh, thank you very much.

Look at that.
It's your ball again.

- I think that counts
as a Christmas gift.
- [phone beeps]

Hey, Jordan, what's the score?

Oh, nothing-to-nothing.

But I've already got
38 Von Durffel points.

But what about basketball?

This is better than basketball.

Oh, look at that.
I accidentally
scored on myself.

- That's two points for you,
Horace and ten points for me.

[woman screams]

I don't believe this.

These people aren't
spreading holiday cheer.

They're more focused
on treating it like a game.

Isn't that what you were doing?

No. I was just trying to...

win over Santa
by getting a perfect score.

Oh, no.

Did I do this?

[phones beeping]

- Hey, kid, let's go caroling.
- [phones beeping

Everyone loves caroling,
and it'll give me some points.

Do you even wanna go caroling?

No, I just want points.

Points!

No! I need those points.

Let's make a gingerbread house.

Let's make
ten gingerbread houses.

Let's make a gingerbread city!

No, he's going
caroling with me.

Fun fact. Did you know
the fifth day of Kwanzaa

is all about points?

[both yelling, screaming]

This game is offering
daily cash prizes

and a million dollars
to the person

who gets the highest score
of the month!

What? No.

Dudley's app is bribing people
to get into the holiday spirit.

This isn't right.

Maybe not, but it only
costs a few bucks to play,

and if I win, I could get paid.

Robin...

[slowed audio] No...

[phone beeps]

Happy holiday, Steve.

Where's that holiday smile?

You're one of Santa's
holiday helpers, aren't you?

- We should get you a hat.

Hey, there, Steve.
You still want
donkey cheese for Christmas?

Because I'll get it for you.

- If I win this game,
I'll buy you all the cheese.

So why don't you
sing some carols with me,

[voice distorts]
and I can get these points?

Oh, no!

[hisses] Points...

[exclaims, grunts]
Kid, calm down, please.

You can talk?

Yes. You've got
good aim, Steve.

Well, only when I'm terrified.

Wait, how do you know my name?

I know every kid's name.

It's kind of my thing,
being Santa and all.

You're Santa Claus?

In the fur.

[sputters] You're a...

Yes, Steve Urkel.

Santa Claus is a yeti!

No, no, no, no, no.
That's ridiculous.

I've been
helping Santa for years.

Officially, or off the books?

That's not important.

As a self-taught Santa expert,
what I know is,

Santa can't be a yeti.

Ouch! That hurts.

Uh, I guess you know a lot of
centuries-old humans.

Well, my grandma's
pretty old.

But can she fit down a chimney
carrying a bag of toys

without being seen?

I can. It's what
we Bigfoots are great at.

Doors, on the other hand,
confuse the heck out of me.

Turn and pull
and then go in.
[sighs] Oh.

Wait a minute.
People have seen
Santa before.

I try to stay hidden
as much as possible,

but a few lucky children
have gazed upon
this beautiful visage.

So by now,
somebody would have said
Santa's a yeti

or gotten upset
that you don't look like
a biker after a spa day.

Don't you think?

Hmm. It does.

And I guess
from far enough away,

your hands and feet
kind of look like
boots and gloves.

Exactly!

I mean, "claws" is right there
in the name, Santa Claus.

Hello!

How many humans
do you know named Santa?

It's actually
an old yeti word.

It means yeti.

My real name
is Krisskringel.

Holy moly!

You're Santa

By the way,
you got any cookies?

[Urkel] No.

Santa, I, uh...

I may have screwed up
the holidays.

It's okay.
I have other cookies.

Now, what brings you
to the North Pole?

Haven't you seen?

I messed up everything
back home.

I kind of blew up
the mall, twice.

I built a game-changing,
holiday-ruining app.

I turned
Department Store Santa
into a meme.

People are calling him
No Pantsa Claus.

Sorry, I don't have
Wi-Fi up here,

but I'd have maybe gone
with Santa Drawers.

Santa, I was trying so hard
to impress you this year

that I wrecked everything!

Why were you trying
to impress me?

Because you're Santa.

The Santa Claus.

You're amazing!

And you're only going to come
if everything is perfect.

The lights,
the cheer, even me.

I built this watch
to make sure I did
everything right

and bring you to Chicago

and fulfill everyone's
Christmas wishes.

Hmm.
What do you want this year?

Some Serbian donkey cheese,
if I remember correctly.

Right now, my wish would be
to fix everything back home.

And I clearly
haven't earned that.

Well, between you and me,
I'm not really keeping score

on whether you've been
naughty or nice.

What?

Oh, Steve.

Take a seat with me

[elf] Cut back on the cookies.

I do want
to be a good person,

but I guess I thought I needed
to be even more special

or Christmas wouldn't come.

Isn't that why you have
naughty and nice lists?

I mean, don't all the
Department Store Santas
report back to you?

Sure, but just to
tell me what things
kids want this year.

I don't want to make
a bunch of wagons
if kids aren't into them.

The elves hate
when wagons go to waste.

I still messed up
pretty bad.

I don't think anyone
will ever forgive me.

You won't know
unless you try.

I'm scared to go home.

What if I
ruin things again?

Maybe I can stay here,

officially become
one of your helpers.

I'm willing to do
whatever it takes.

[Urkel grunts]

Oh.

[Urkel gasps]

Is there
an application fee?

Uh, no.

I mean, are you just
going to run away?

Won't people miss you?

No. They're better off
without me.

You sure about that?

Steve, why do you celebrate
every December holiday?

You're not Jewish,
and yet you help Mr. Kalan

celebrate Hanukkah
every year.

And on New Year's Eve,
you're always helping

the Kochiyama family
clean their house
for Omisoka.

Because Mr. Kalan's
my friend,

and he shouldn't
have to celebrate
the holidays by himself.

And the Kochiyama family
matter to me,

so I just want to know
what's special
and important to them.

Kid, those are nicer gifts
than anything

this freakishly
beautiful yeti

in a red suit
could ever build.

- You might be a little--
- Eager?

But as long as you care
about the people around you,

then you're officially
helping me spread
holiday cheer.

It's not about how many
lights you put up

or how many cookies
you leave out.

Although the more
the merrier.

You're right, Santa.

And if I really care,

then I need to go back home
and clean up my mess.

See, Steve,
you don't need a watch

to tell you
the right thing to do.

Dudley's got everybody
fake celebrating the holidays
to win money.

Maybe I can build
some kind of mind ray.

Not control,
but maybe just reprogramming.

And maybe erasing
some of their
short-term memory.

It shouldn't hurt too much.

Hmm. But maybe
you could use an assist.

This holiday season,

could I be your unofficial
official helper?

You want to be my helper?

Santa's my helper?

Oh, wow!

Well, I should probably
get you an orientation packet,

- and there will be
a strict dress code.
- Steve.

Or how about
just a lift back home
to shut Dudley's app down

and remind people
to just be good
for goodness sake?

Oh, you better watch out.

♪ You better not pout ♪

No, watch out.
My reindeer are pulling up.

[Urkel gasps]

Wanna go fix
the holidays?

Yes!

What was that song
you were singing?

"Santa Claus
Is Coming To Town."

- Who sings it?
- Everybody.

Have you never heard
any of the Christmas carols
people sing about you?

[chuckles] No.
I don't have the Internet.

And I'm not
that self-absorbed.

Are they good songs?

What if we change
the value of points

based on how many people
are using the app
at a certain time?

We'd call it
surge nicing.

[VDI]
Ethically questionable.

But business wise,
it will make you richer.

Perfect.
L-O-L-O-L-O-L.

[Urkel] Whoa!

Stop! [grunts]

@steveurkel?
And a Bigfoot?

Hey, I'm Santa!

Whoa! Santa's a Bigfoot?

Explosion emoji, man.

You just disrupted
my mind right there. Wow.

Dudley, we've got
to shut the app down.

We've turned everyone into
a bunch of holiday zombies

that are only pretending
to be nice to get a reward.

I know.
I am on the precipice

of something #epic.

For a reward,
I'm getting people
to do whatever I want.

I can make them
be merry if I want.

But why stop
at the holidays?

I could also tell them
what to buy,

or how to think
or how to vote.
[chuckles]

The possibilities
are endless.

Well, aren't we
supposed to be

disrupting people's lives
for the better?

Uh, yeah.

And what's better
than getting everyone
to do what I tell them?

I'm a genius.

I'm changing the world.

I'd be like Santa,

but year around
and with way better hair.

Excuse me?
Have you seen these locks?

What you're doing
is nothing like Santa.

Oh, please.
Isn't that what Christmas is?

You just pretend to be nice
to get a dolly or a video game.

All to please a reclusive,
well-resourced mogul

who lives
in a hard-to-reach place.

Say hey with five "Y"s
to your new Santa.

Oh, no. That's cultural
appropriation, honey.

This is a mistake!

I want my tech back.

Uh, remember when
I sang you a song

about moving fast
and breaking things?

Well, I've got another song
I'd like to sing for you.

It's called "No Backsies."
And a one, a two--

No!

If you're not going
to shut it down,

then I'll have
to shut you down.

You ever see that GIF
where someone's like,
"Come. Get some."

I'm about to make
one of my own.

Are you sure
about this, Steve?

You're a little boy,
he's a grown adult.

[Urkel screaming]

That escalated quickly.

[screaming]

Huh?

Well, I did not
see that coming.

[VDI] It's how real Gs
settle their differences.

When the "G"
stands for genius.

Seeing as how
you're an uninvited guest
on my yacht air balloon,

I'll give you the honor
of going first.

Big mistake.

People are selfish,
@steveurkel.

They only want to be nice
to get something.

- You are wrong, Dudley!
- [Dudley] Whoa!

[Urkel] Hmm.

Uh-oh.

Ah!
[grunts in frustration]

[Dudley laughing]

[Dudley] Whoopsie.

A-ha! [grunts]

I'm just making
some extra money
to get my dad a gift.

This is better
than basketball.

You want me to celebrate
Hanukkah with your robot?

Donkey cheese.

What?

- [Urkel] Ah!
- Hey!

Ho-ho-ho.

Check and mate.

[Dudley groaning]

Skull emoji.

Oh.

Did I do that?

I think I did.

Yeah! Oh!

[whinnies]

[Urkel] Uh-oh.

[all screaming]

Oh, no! Please no!

Well, that doesn't
look good.

[people screaming]

Is everyone okay?

Oh, Santa.

No, Steve, I'm fine.

Magical being, remember?

Dudley, I'm sorry
I broke your ship.

You know, I can work it off
to pay you back.

All the money I made
from the Von Durffel app
kind of makes us even.

If you had asked
for even a small cut...

[laughs] Ow!
...you'd be rich.

But...

♪ No backsies
That's what I said. No... ♪

I forget the rest,
but it's really cool.

I don't invent things
to get rich.

I do it to bring happiness
to people.

[Dudley laughing]

ROTFL.

Happiness is overrated,
@steveurkel.

People have already
had a taste of the future,

and they're not going back.

This is the future, okay?

Embrace it.

Your old ideas
about being nice

have been disrupted
by something better,

by someone better.

By me! [chuckles]

What's going on?
Did the app crash?

Will these points count?
I need my points!

Points!

I can't finish
these decorations
if I don't have my points.

Mrs. P, stop!

You don't need to hang
Mr. Kalan's lights
for points.

Yes, I do!

Why else would I do this?

Because he's your neighbor.

And even though
you two argue sometimes,

you worry about him
climbing on a ladder
because he's so old.

Hey, words hurt!

That's not winning you
any holiday cheer points.

Being nice
isn't a game to win.

I see that now.

The holidays aren't something
we do for points.

[all] Points.

We celebrate the holidays
because it's an excuse
to check in on someone

when they have a bad day

and offer
to take him caroling.

Being with a friend
to celebrate Hanukkah

because you enjoy
each other's company.

It's not a bunch
of empty gestures
to win a prize.

[all] Points?

It's celebrating each day
like a holiday.

Because the people
around us are gifts.

Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

How is he broadcasting
from the Von Durffel game?

Magical being, honey.
Boop!

[Urkel] It's not about
proving how good we are,

but recognizing
how lucky we are.

Presents and treats
are great,

but the holidays
are a reminder

of how important we are
to one another.

Wow, you're still corny.

[Robin and Urkel
mimicking munching]

[Robin and Urkel laughing]

The nicest thing you can do
is to celebrate each other.

That's why I love
December so much.
