"A Scooter For Yaksmas" is a 30-minute episode of the animated television show on Nickelodeon, The Ren and Stimpy Show.
=="A Scooter For Yaksmas"==
Plot
It is Yaksmas Eve, and Stimpy is in the holiday spirit, despite a moribund job at the CobbCo popsicle-stick factory and the abuse he receives from the local children. He is especially excited with the anticipation of his very own Johnny Future's scooter, and to make sure Ren doesn't forget he plants reminders wherever he can.
Ren himself is more cynical, and reprimands Stimpy for still believing in Stinky Wizzleteats (the Yaksmas equivalent of Santa Claus). He reluctantly goes along with Stimpy's ludicrous preparations, and the two head off to bed.
That evening both Stinky and his trusty Yak do indeed show up, to a musical montage no less, and in the morning Stimpy is ecstatic. However, his mood sours when the two exchange gifts. While Ren is delighted at his present ('A jewel-encrusted Queen of England! How did you ever know?'), Stimpy fumes upon receiving yet another popsicle stick and leaves the house for some air.
He makes it all the way to the store where the scooter remains unbought before he loses his composure. During his tantrum, he accidentally breaks the store window and finds the scooter in his hands. When a passerby accuses him of theft he panics and drives off on the scooter. On the run, Stimpy is overwhelmed by guilt and, fearing prison, he returns home to seek help from Ren. He gets back to find Ren revelling in the media attention, and in no hurry to come to his defence. Feeling betrayed, Stimpy heads off to find Stinky Whizzleteats, believing him to be the only one capable of setting things right.
With the police hot on his tail, Stimpy rides his ill-attained scooter to the West Pole, accidentally running down an oaf on the way. The two strike up a partnership, although it comes to an abrupt end when the oaf recognises Stimpy as a thief from the newspaper.
At a Yaksmas soiree, Ren, Muddy Mudskipper and his simian wife find themselves missing Stimpy.
Even more aghast, Stimpy continues his voyage until he wipes out. He comes to outside the West Pole motel, and enters to find both Stinky Whizzleteats and his Yak unconscious - as well as a gift-wrapped scooter from Ren that Stinky never delivered. Elated that Ren remembered his gift after all, Stimpy takes the new scooter and leaves the stolen, totaled one in Stinky's room to be fixed. Once Stimpy heads off home, though, the police arrive at the motel and arrest Stinky, confusing him with Stimpy.
The following day, Ren and Stimpy take a holiday ride together, while Stinky and the Yak run from the police.

Notes, goofs, and trivia
*This was the last ever episode of the original five-season run of The Ren and Stimpy Show on Nickelodeon. There were nine storyboarded episodes remaining from the Spümcø era of the show but were never produced. The series was not revived again until John Kricfalusi's short-lived Adult Party Cartoon in 2003.
*The musical montage "It's A Whizzleteats Kind Of Xmas" was originally written for the tie-in LP 'Crock O' Christmas'. Other songs from that CD that were made into stand-alone music videos (using clip montages from older episodes) were 'Fleck The Walls' and 'Cat Hairballs'.
*This episode features the third appearance of Muddy Mudskipper's wife, a gorilla in a dress. A photograph of her was seen in the episode 'Terminal Stimpy' and she appeared as a dinner guest in 'Dinner Party'. In the season three episode 'Jerry the Bellybutton Elf' Muddy Mudskipper was married to another woman with a penchant for clam-dip.
*This is the second Xmas special that Ren and Stimpy had, the first being season two's "Stimpy's First Fart" (retitled "Son of Stimpy")', in which Stimpy hunts for his lost 'son', named Stinky.
*CobbCo, the company where Stimpy works, was also responsible for the manufacture of many of the Salesman's Acme-esque products in 'Feud For Sale'.
*The Stinky Whizzleteats clock features two pendulums that knock together between his legs - an oddly unsubtle joke considering the obscure visual gags Nickelodeon would originally chastise Kricfalusi for in the early years.
*One of the pug-faced children who play in the dirt at the beginning of the episode originally appeared in the short 'Varicose Veins'.
*Stimpy looks in a mirror as he dyes his hair black — a reference to the opening credits of The Fugitive.
* When Ren gave Stimpy fudge sticks for yacksmas, he looked very upset and looked like Guss The Friendly Ghost.
=="Craft-Works Corner: Stimpy Kadoogan"==
Plot
Stimpy hosts an arts and crafts show, creating a series of useless trinkets by destroying priceless antiques and valuables. Just as he's about the wrap up, Stimpy is invited to a costume ball, so he puts his craftwork skill to use.
Notes, goofs, and trivia
*Ren appears briefly in tow at the end of the short, played by Billy West for the last time (the final line uttered being: 'Yeah yeah, hold your horses.')
