The Shameless Cynical Christmas Carol Sing-Along

The long-running rabble-rousing comedy Shameless is closing up shop at the end of their 11th and final season that is currently airing on Showtime, so it's worth a flashback to the show's early days for a little cynical holiday cheer.

Back at the end of 2011, right before the premiere of Season 2, this music video was released of Frank Gallagher (William H. Macy) leading a ukelele sing-along of a fourth-wall bending Christmas song about the pleasures of being inebriated through the holidays. It's actually a pretty fun little ditty to rally the miserables who are drowning their sorrows in bars in December.

Shameless airs Sundays at 9:00 PM ET on Showtime.
