VIDEO: Republic of Telly’s latest skit is all sorts of fecked up

We would avoid this home

We would avoid this home.

The Christmas season is usually full of festive cheer because families finally get to spend some precious time together without the stresses of work but what happens when things get a little bit “too familiar”?

That’s the question posed by the brilliantly twisted minds at The Republic of Telly because they’ve managed to take a classic Christmas formula and flip it on its head. Things get dark, really dark. We genuinely think that this could be an even darker Christmas story than Gremlins, Bad Santa and the worst parts of It’s A Wonderful Life combined.

In fact, it’s probably worse than those because we don’t remember Biddy trying to seduce George Bailey. Marty McFly and his mam have nothing on this.
