The kids were positively speechless when the cartoon ended and the tape re-emerged from the VCR.
"Wait…" Junior spoke. "The whole thing was canceled because Larry ended up getting help from a Jewish hero?"
"Yes, unfortunately I made that awful mistake." Bob replied. "I was young then and I know now that God loves everyone, even those who don't celebrate Christmas. Besides, both Christianity and Judaism came from the same region of the world."
"I forgive you, Bob." A banana wearing a yarmulke showed up.
"Tevye!" Bob exclaimed, embracing the banana. "So glad you could make it."
"Wait…you're MENSCH MAN?!" Laura gasped.
"Sure am little lady!" Tevye replied, chuckling. "I loved playin' that guy…"
"Tevye, back then I was such a fool." Bob spoke. "To make it up to you, we ARE going to show this holiday special in its original glory, BUT—we've got to make one more change first."
Bob yanked out a marker, and crossed out the word "Christmas" on the tape, writing "Holiday" instead, so that the title now read "Larryboy's Heroic Holiday".
"Bob you didn't—" Tevye stammered.
"For both of our holidays." Bob replied. "Happy Hanukkah…" he hugged the banana.
"Merry Christmas…" Tevye replied, hugging Bob right back.

Eventually, the party was in full swing, with "Larryboy's Heroic Holiday" now being broadcast on multiple stations around the world. More veggies started to arrive (even the actress who played Holly!), and they all shared a nice Christmas dinner together. Then it was time for dancing…
"Hey, Petunia!" Larry smiled, popping his head out from behind the karaoke bar. "I dedicate this song to you…"
"Larry, please don't do this…" Petunia cringed at her husband.
Larry then stepped out in front of the Christmas tree, and turned on a boombox, placing a red baseball cap on his head backwards.
"On! The!
12 days of Christmas, yo, my shawty gave to me—
12 Drummers Drumming
11 Pipers Piping
10 Lords a Leaping
9 Ladies Dancing
8 Maids a Milking
7 Swans a Swimming
6 Geese a Laying
5 Golden Rings!!
4 Calling Birds
3 French Hens
2 Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree!
WORD!"
Larry finished, striking a pose and looking directly at Petunia.
"….nice." Petunia replied.
End.
LARRYBOY AND MENSCH MAN WILL RETURN...

A/N:
The banana from that other Christmas special I made makes his second-ever appearance as Mensch Man (real name Tevye Bananowitz). I did some research, and instead of making him a stereotype, I wanted to make him the most badass Jewish hero ever! Let me know if I got something wrong, though, or if he's offensive. If he is, then I apologize.
