The Allegory is Strong in "Christmas! With the Aquabats!"

If you're not ready to say Goodbye to Christmas specials for the year yet, The Aquabats official Youtube channel has posted the Christmas episode of The Aquabats! Super Show! with a strong - if imperfect - allegorical message.

The show is a parody of band-based shows and low-budget superhero shows, and its hilarious. The Christmas episode manages to mix its usual hammish roots with a strong message about Christian persecution and God's forgiveness. The allegory takes creative license to better work the story, but there's enough of the original message ingrained that it's easy to tell it was intentional.


While The Aquabats! isn't an explicitly faith-based group, several members have been noted as being LDS.
