Now hear me out before you vote.
I always thought Rudolf was a total sap. Here the whole Christmas Town makes fun of him all his life, and then when they ask him to help out, what does he do? Does he tell them to piss up a rope? To kiss his brown pucker? To take a flying fuck at a rolling bumble? Noooo, he does what they want, just to try to curry their favor.
Anyway, I used to think that. Until recently, when I took a good hard listen to the song. In the song, only the other reindeer laugh at him and call him names. Santa never does. And it's Santa who comes to him later, tells him he's the tits and has an awesome schnoz, and promotes him to head navigator. Rudolf jumps at the chance to show all those other yahoos that THEY were the losers, not him.
In other words, Rudolf's sappiness appears to be fictitious, based on a misrepresentation by the Rankin-Bass rendition, where they make Santa one of the bad guys at the beginning along with the intolerant reindeer.
But maybe that's just me. What do YOU think?

No question that if Santa let up on the gun laws at the North Pole, Rudolf would have laid down some lead and resolved the situation Postal style.
Also, no question that Santa, in that long moldy stop action TV show we grew up with, goes WAY OFF being PC and dumps on Rudolf while he's down.
You could say that Rudolf was a sap for being the good guy later in the plot, I think he was either "mentally challenged" and never figured out that he didnt owe the team squat OR had a GPS prototype at the time and used the situation as a "proof of concept" (the nose thing was a diversion to keep attention off the technology), became rich and lives on a tropical isle now, laughing his ass off at all the suckers he left behind.
