...Park, emerged for the annual Christmas show - notably the all-singing episode that sprang from this, the most obscene and fabulous of all holiday CDs. Parker and uber-chartsman Marc Shaiman worked their coprophagic magic on material both traditional and original. Parker uses the pseudonym Juan Schwartz for the fatalist's folk tune "Dead, Dead, Dead" ("And so on Christmas morning / Let good tidings fill your head / What a festive season! / Some day you'll be dead"). Eric Cartman warbles a soulful misdirection of "O Holy Night" ("Jesus was born and so I get presents"). Not to ignore Hanukkah, Parker...
...Mann's early films also needed performers with snazzier screen presence. These movies had the noir plots and attitude, but neither the actors to give the stories a fatalist heft nor the actresses beautiful and seductive enough to play a plausible femme fatale.

But it took a wartime assignment to bring out the comic fatalist in Jones. With Theodor (Dr. Seuss) Geisel, he hatched the Private Snafu shorts--irreverent sketches of an Army recruit whose laziness and general bad attitude forever threaten to hand victory to Hitler and Tojo. By war's end, Jones was infusing the brisk sauciness of these cartoons into his civilian work...
...cares deeply about. He holds down two jobs as a clothing-store guard. He struggles to control mood swings and violent urges. When not wowing Century with gang-war stories and introducing him to a .50-cal. handgun known as the Desert Eagle, he alternates between sounding like a fatalist and a self-help guru.
