This episode makes me miss Justin Hammer even more. I hope they bring his character back to the main MCU.

Did you ever see the short film about Trevor Slatery in prison? Sam Rockwell pops up, and as always, he just slays in every scene he's in.

Rockwell is a comedic and dramatic powerhouse.

The “Hulk Hogan” reference was perfect

The build up and payoff for the W.E.R.N.E.R personality AI was outstanding! It's not listed in the IMDB credits as of Christmas Eve, but I wonder if it's Paul F. Thompkins' impression or possibly the actual Werner Herzog seeing as he appeared on The Mandalorian season 1.

Oh it has to be the real Werner. It's such a perfect cameo.

Edit:

While the W.E.R.N.E.R voice does sound like Herzog, the director opted not to join the franchise... Herzog was approached to voice the role, but "respectfully declined." Instead, the A.I. was voiced by Ross Marquand, who also voiced Ultron in the animated show's first season and played Red Skull in Avengers: Endgame.

I’m going to need the Ren & Stimpy - Happy Happy Joy Joy song dubbed over Happy tearing through the security bots.

Good Queen Darcy last looked down
on the feast of Steve Rogers
When the snow lay on the ground
something, something, something
Thor has a giant neck
It is full of muscles
He’s just a little schmoopy noodle
going through the cosmos

Just watched this with a few friends we had over for Christmas Eve dinner and we all loved it.
