Good God that was cheesy.
Once again, these shorts continue to have no real story to speak of whatsoever. The Bocellis just randomly happen to be in the Simpsons' house, they start singing, Bart continunously tries to open the presents too early, we're shown a montage of other characters celebrating Christmas.
Seriously, where *did* the Bocelli family come from? How did they manage to stay hidden in the living room without being noticed by anyone else than Homer? It doesn't make any sense.
And as usual, nothing is funny. I might not be as viscerally annoyed as during Plusaversary or When Lisa Met Billie, but that doesn't mean the shorts have suddenly gotten good. At the end of the day this is still a lazily made, celebrity pandering ad that almost verges on scamming customers on their money (Those subscribed to the service would want actual Simpsons content, not just commercials masquerading as it).
The jokes in the montages were as lazy as they could come. Reused Wiggum cooking the turkey on the electric chair, reused Ralph picking up an egg from a bottomless Easter basket and what a surprise, Sideshow Bob gets a rake. Jesus guys, the least you could have done is give us the classic gruntle if you're gonna beat that gag to the ground again.
