W hen you think famous elves, an image of Will Ferrell dancing around in yellow tights and pouring maple syrup on spaghetti usually springs to mind. But before Buddy, there was Hermey — a misfit elf who dreams of being a dentist in the stop-motion Christmas classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The Rankin-Bass production is the longest running holiday special of all time, and it celebrates its 50th anniversary on December 6.
When Soles was cast as Hermey in , he never dreamed that character would sing on TV sets around the world for decades to come. It was a playground. Santa's opinion turns on a dime and the once impressed "king of jingling" tells Donner he "should be ashamed of himself," and stomps off.
To this day, it's still unclear exactly what Santa wanted Donner to do to fix the problem. Hermey the elf was a misfit, but it was almost certainly for reasons beyond his dissatisfaction in spending his life as a toymaker. Even his wish to become a dentist isn't all that bad until it became a creepy obsession that consumed his personal life. Has anyone ever wondered where he got all those realistic teeth he put in those dolls?
Here's a theory: those teeth came from the bodies of animals or people he ripped them out of. Let's remember that despite having read medical books on dentistry, Hermey's time to shine involves yanking out every tooth of the Bumble. That's not being a "dentist," that's being a sadistic psychopath, and one doesn't get good at yanking out large teeth without warming up on a few other people, in my opinion. There are a lot of elves in the North Pole, although one may have a hard time distinguishing a vast majority of them from the other ones.
Outside of a tall and nerdy elf, a portly elf, Hermey and the head elf, however, they all look the same. It makes one wonder if they might be into some inbreeding. Granted, this is probably a necessary mode of survival and not because they're freaky like that.
Santa's workshop is in a remote location, so they presumably don't get outsiders much. Additionally, Santa has been at this job for a long time, so he's probably got several generations of elf families working at his shop. That said, he should probably start trying to find some fresh blood before one brother-sister offspring elf comes out like Joffrey Baratheon. Is Rudolph a real reindeer? Rudolph is usually depicted as the ninth and youngest of Santa Claus's reindeer, using his luminous red nose to lead the reindeer team and guide Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve for only one year.
Why does Rudolph have a red nose? Reindeer need red noses to deal with freezing temperatures. The dense network of blood vessels in reindeer noses is also essential for regulating the animal's internal body temperature — like many mammals, reindeer don't sweat. Where does Santa Claus originate from? The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around A. Much admired for his piety and kindness, St.
How do you spell Rudolph? Hermey was an elf in the television special "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". Hermey didn't like to make toys and wanted to become a dentist. He pulled the teeth of the Abominable Snow Monster after he had been knocked out by a falling rock. Get a new mixed Fun Trivia quiz each day in your email.
