What makes the 'weird kid from christmas story' so memorable?
For Schwartz, it's his role as the instigator. He's the one who comes up with these wild dares and ideas that get the whole group into trouble. His mischievous nature is what makes him memorable as a 'weird kid'. Every group of kids has that one kid who is always pushing the boundaries, and in the Christmas story, that's Schwartz. His actions drive a lot of the comical and chaotic situations in the story.
In Ralphie's case, it's his vivid imagination. His daydreams are so elaborate and detailed. He imagines himself as a hero with his BB gun, saving the day. These daydreams are not just simple, passing thoughts but full - blown scenarios that he plays out in his head. And his determination to get the gun against all odds, like dealing with his parents' concerns and Santa's potential disapproval, makes him a very memorable 'weird kid' in the Christmas story.
If it's Flick, it's definitely that tongue - on - pole incident. It's such a unique and crazy thing to happen. Just the idea of a kid being so naive to try that and then getting stuck is both funny and a bit shocking. It's a scene that has been parodied so many times, which makes Flick really stand out as a memorable 'weird kid'.
