COMPLETE SAVAGES: SAVAGE XXX-MAS (TV)

Summary

One in this comedy series about firefighter Nick Savage and his life as a single dad to his five rambunctious sons. In this episode, the boys all request money for Christmas, claiming they need cash to buy gifts for others, but Nick advises them to get jobs to raise the funds instead. Jack, Chris and Sam head to the mall and scam their way into jobs at a high-end lingerie store, while back at home T.J. and Kyle are annoyed as their father and uncle gather a large stock of cool toys to donate to needy kids. The older brothers are dismayed to find that they will be working in the stockroom, far away from any attractive female customers, when T.J. and Kyle find the coveted "Death Stomp" game amongst the donations, they decide that the less-fortunate children can live without that particular toy. Returning home from work, Sam hastily tells Angela that he has landed a job at the Cracker Shack, not wanting her to know of his lascivious intentions at the bra store, but this backfires when she happily asks to take advantage of his employee discount.

At the store, responsible Sam is permitted to work on the sales floor during a rush and is excited to learn that he makes commission on every sale. T.J. and Kyle's Death Stomp marathon is interrupted by Nick's somber TV commercial, in which he implores the viewers to give to charity for the holiday, and they decide that they will give up the game after all – on Christmas Eve. Chris and Jack grow annoyed with Sam's bossiness and decide to "put him out of commission," and they arrange for Angela to arrive just as several customers discover flirtatious notes from "Sam" in their undergarments. The boss angrily fires all three brothers, to which they do not object, having realized that they will now collect unemployment. Finally, T.J. and Kyle sadly donate the game, only to learn that Nick has bought Death Stomp for them after all. Includes commercials and promos.
