Prime Video's Fallout: The Ghoul Log is a uniquely unsettling holiday treat that injects dark humor into the world of post-apocalyptic survival. The video begins with Walton Goggins' character, the Ghoul, sitting by a fireplace where instead of a traditional Yule log, he's burning a human arm - specifically a fat man's. This macabre twist is a nod to the game's bleak setting and serves as a darkly comedic commentary on the Ghoul's resourcefulness in the face of an irradiated world.
As the Ghoul enjoys his fireplace, ambient music by Mr. New Vegas takes center stage, providing a retro radio soundscape that adds a layer of festive cheer to the otherwise desolate atmosphere. It's a clever way for Prime Video to inject some holiday spirit into their series, which usually focuses on survival and struggle.
While there are no traditional holidays or seasonal celebrations in Fallout's world, this video cleverly subverts expectations by embracing a similar format. The result is an entertaining yet unsettling treat that pokes fun at the conventions of Yule log videos while still delivering on the promise of cozy, fireside entertainment.
With season two of Fallout set to drop on December 17, Prime Video fans will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy this quirky holiday offering. It's a fitting reminder that even in a world as bleak as the Wasteland, there's always room for some dark humor and festive cheer - just be sure to look away from the fire.
