Mr. McGrew's Christmas Carol is a seasonal cartoon starring a clumsy and selfish old man named Ebenezer McGrew.
History
After annoying his family with his selfishness by buying the Personalized Talking Astrolabe for himself for Christmas, Homer spent the night on the couch, where he watched Mr. McGrew's Christmas Carol with the Astrolabe. While watching the film, he saw himself in Mr. McGrew and realized he had to change his ways.
Plot
In the film, Mr. McGrew told Bob Cratchett that he had to work on Christmas. However, McGrew was actually talking to his stovepipe oven, not realizing that Cratchett was behind him. McGrew then mistook the stovepipe oven for a pregnant woman and tried to listen to the baby's heartbeat, putting his head into the oven. Later, McGrew was visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, who told him he was so selfish that his fiancée was about to leave him. McGrew said he didn't need love because he had money.
Later in the film, Mr. McGrew pleaded with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, asking for more time to reform his selfish ways. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come then pointed to McGrew's grave, and McGrew screamed out.
Behind the Laughter
The film is a parody of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol.
