'''''Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer''''' is a song and popular Christmas story about Santa Claus's ninth and lead reindeer who possesses an unusually red-colored nose that gives off its own light, powerful enough to illuminate the team's path through inclement weather.

{{quote|'''Yukon Cornelius:''' I'm off to get my life-sustaining supplies: cornmeal, gunpowder, hamhocks and guitar strings.}}
* [[Badass]]: Yukon Cornelius, and Hermey, too, for going out of their way in defeating the Bumble (although they didn't ''really'' defeat him).
** [[Badass Beard]]: Yukon Cornelius has one that even fuller than Santa's!
* [[Broken Aesop]]/[[Fridge Horror]]: The only reason Rudolph is accepted by anyone is because his deformity can be put to good use; however, it may have served as an inspiration to other deformed people in [[Real Life]] to put their own deformities to good use (for example, by participating in a [[Boston Marathon]] for the disabled, [[Soul Surfer|surfing with only one arm]], [[Ludwig Van Beethoven|composing music without even being able to hear it]], or [[Ray Charles|playing the piano without even being able to see the keys]]--and let's not even go into [[Satoshi Tajiri|how]] [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|many]] [[Albert Einstein|geniuses]] are or may have been autistic).
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Yukon Cornelius crying "Land ho!" ''after'' their ice floe crashes into the shore.
Line 68 ⟶ 69:
* [[Mrs. Claus]]: Who admonished Santa for not eating enough, and that kids wouldn't want a skinny Santa.
* [[Narrator]]: Sam the Snowman.
* [[Now You Tell Me]]: Yukon Cornelius bellows "Land ho!" the moment the protagonists' ice floe collides with the shore of the Island of Misfit Toys. Hermie the elf then mutters, "No kidding."
* [[Older Than They Look]]: It's implied that Santa's elves are this.
* [[Our Elves Are Different]]: Hermey very literally is!
