I'm really sorry that I got you bad presents.
You should probably try and return all those bad presents.
You may be shocked to find how little you get for those bad presents.

I'm really sorry that I got you bad presents.
I'm really sorry that I got you bad presents.

STRONG BAD and HOMESTAR RUNNER: {Singing over the top} We're really sorry that you/I got us/you bad presents.

Spell a cuss word on the roof with Christmas lights!
Invite Crazy Uncle Edgar over, keep his egg nog spiked!
Hang out behind the mall in a black trench coat!
Hang out in front of the mall in a black trench coat!
If I don't get video games for Decemberween!
If I don't get video games for Decemberween!
