Best Retarded Christmas Video Ever! Smile With Ponceman!

Folks, I’m going to tell you something. If this video doesn’t go “viral” I’m not just murdering the word viral. I’m declaring Christmas spirit dead forever.

Ponce, best known for The Retarded Policeman, has produced a “Smile the World” video that might very well be the finest Christmas song since “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.” And certainly the finest Christmas video since, well, “Christmas Vacation.”

I love this song, because it’s a wonderful medley of rock, humor and sincerity. The tweens will love the twang. The adolescents will dig the sexual references. The older dudes will adore the throw-back to glam rock. But most importantly, I am sad for anyone that looks at this with disdain because Ponce is retarded — and assume it’s exploitation. To me, this video reminds us that our mental and physical limitations are trumped by spirit. And the Perry brothers, dear reader, have spirit. I’ve met Ponce, and I can tell you that smile is as real as smiles get.

After you get lost in the song, check out Ponce’s YouTube channel and Ponceman website, or perhaps send the love of Ponce to someone with these free, touching holiday cards.

This is produced by Scott Allen Perry (THESAP) and his brother Josh Perry (PONCEMAN). You’ll see the brother’s parents and sister in the video — a full, family affair. Dirty Jenny performed guitar on the roof.

P.S. Double click the video to open YouTube, and treat yourself to full HD for this. It’s a visual masterpiece in addition to an earworm. A tribute to Glam Rock and, as its description boasts, “oozes yummy juice from every sonic pore.” And click “more” below for lyrics. You should sing along. It will reduce stress.
