MST3K - 521 - Santa Claus (6/10)

[alex9033]

If he's starting in Mexico City, innit 7 or 8 AM in Australia? And why wasn't there a hole in the roof where the chimney used to be?

[Tareltonlives]

Produced and written by 5 bottles of Rompope

[sillygrl23]

Awwww, that is pretty cute of Lupita to pray for a dolly for baby Jesus.

[bruxbrux]

@sillygrl23 Yeah, I actually find that whole scene touching, the mother trying to explain to her daughter why she doesn't get Christmas presents.

[sillygrl23]

@bruxbrux Definitely, as wierd as this movie can be, its not as boring or painfully horrendous to watch on Christmas unlike Home Alone 4 or Santa Clause Conquers The Martians, some of the scenes are actually enjoyable to watch and still give you a geniune warm fuzzy feeling that you can overlook some of the not-so-enjoyable aspects of the movie. I could definitely see myself watching the non-MST version of it and not cringing.

[tedschloss]

The devil's theme song is a few seconds after the 8 minute mark.

[ninjawraith17]

6:47

"Well there's more than one way to beat the Devil!"

Jesus Boxing Gloves.

It just came to me and I'm not on any drugs.

You guys I'm scared I think this movie is finally made me snap-DRAGON!

[ninjawraith17]

3:10

No Lupita, Jesus wants some Pokemon!

[dstewart0729]

So, to recap so far, Santa is an alien with a Michael Jackson-esque number of kids in his house, his reindeer are soulless vampiric automatons, Hell is at eternal (incompetent) war with a secularized pagan holiday, Merlin is somehow involved with Santa's magic, and Pitch enjoys pantaloons more than he should.

[Tareltonlives]

@dstewart0729 And yet, this doesn't come off as a surprise.

[akje93]

Santa must hate a lot of children to only be giving out a handful of presents each year

[EdwFam2010]

2:00- Crow's outburst is funny as hell!!

[CygnusMedia]

So the ethnic kids aren't at all familiar with Earth customs, despite being, well, ethnic by Earth's standards?

[Amethystasheryn]

I love Mike's reaction to the kids' plan to make Santa their slave in the scene at 0:54. Actually I can't decide which had me laughing harder: The reactions of Mike and the Bots or the plan itself. XD

[livinintwilightzone]

What is up with Lupita's house? Are they inside? Outside? Why the window suspended between half a fence? Couldn't they afford the rest of the wall or what?!

[kftc88]

Lupita's Mom does a crappy job-why would you tell your daughter that Santa gives gifts to good girls if you know that you can't provide anything she asks for? Make a doll out of sticks & scraps of fabric, be proactive lady!

[101superchao]

the devil is a wener LOL

[BlazieTiger]

Tuck 'n roll, Kringle!! TUCK 'N ROLL!!!

[ChaoticYak]

I just realized what the narrator reminds me of! The narrator in "Catching Trouble"! All the warnings and interactions with the characters on the screen. "Watch out, Ross!"

[Tareltonlives]

@ChaoticYak If he called Santa his boyfriend, it would break the freaky meter.

[ChaoticYak]

@Tareltonlives Ha! I hadn't thought of that! :)

[negascoot23]

@ChaoticYak "That Devil sure is tricky! But my Boyfriend knows just how to handle him!"

[Unwyze]

0:59 They look so innocent but their hearts are filled with pure evil. Reminds me of a song, "Kidnap the Sandy Caws, tie him in a bag. Throw him the ocean then, see if he is sad."

Now let's all pray to Craig.

[Tareltonlives]

@Unwyze Those kids, thanks to constant punishment, later grew up to be major drug kingpins

[Kintoun2107]

He enjoys pantaloons more than he should. XD

[Teenlego]

"The Devil is a wiener" 

[eastwing329]

Umm, doesn't Santa have a key to every house? Why bother pushing the chimney? You know, never mind. I shouldn't care.

[889654]

Alright, since it seemed Pitch only moved the top of the chimney shouldn't Santa noticed the big hole right there leading down to the house!

[negascoot23]

@889654 That was the first thing I thought! XD

[KingOfUm]

Mexico seems to have it pretty wrong about Santa, I don't think they deserve a Christmas.

[Tareltonlives]

@KingOfUm Nah, we're just weird. Japan's got the same problem.

[nagaking07]

I'm not Christian, but even I know that Santa and Satan are not part of the same story.

[SpotxSpot]

@nagaking07 I'm Mexican and they really aren't. I don't know what the hell they were on when they decided to bring Santa into the plot of a regular Pastorela.

[NodDisciple1]

@SpotxSpot What's a Pastorela? :? Plz tell me.

[SpotxSpot]

@NodDisciple1 It's a traditional Mexican festival commemorating the nativity, the coming of the Christ-child, usually involving increasingly goofy versions of a basic plot: baby Jesus was just born, Satan and his minions are trying to convince the people not to follow him, while others (usually angels) try and stop them. Like here, the devils and angels are invisible to humans, but can call out to them and influence their behaviour.

Personally, I've never seen Psycho Santa in a pastorela.

[NodDisciple1]

@SpotxSpot K. TY. Maybe you can make a ytp pardoy of this film w/ Santa Robotnik? XD

[negascoot23]

@SpotxSpot So the Narrator is an angel? Just when I thought this film couldn't get more messed up! :P

[DMCdawg]

That's a good boy.. or girl.

[MisterMocktopus]

WOULD YOU SHUT THE BLOODY ORGAN GRINDER UP

[eldiablorojos]

"It is the witching hour, my friend."

[MsTwinkle101]

0:54 It's nice to know I wasn't the only one trying to kidnap Santa when I was young XD

[Rubberman202]

I'm laughing more at the movie than the funny commentary!

[cloudybitbit6]

Isn't kidnapping Santa a federal offense??

[NYG4LIFE123]

He enjoys pantaloons more than he should. 

[TimelordR]

Krampus, alias Santa: "I smell sulphur..."

Are you sure the movie's not behind that stench?

[mornmeril]

Kidnap the Sandy Claws, put him in a bag...!

[bastlake]

the rich kid looks like Rick Astley Jr.

[Tareltonlives]

Wow, remember when manure dust was the worst pollution in Mexico city, and not pig flu, carbon monoxide, methane, or cocaine?

[nagaking07]

I would be kind of uncomfortable if a big old guy carried a powder that caused sleep, and used children as workers in his factory.

[liquidpig]

I love how they put religion and Christmas mythology on the same level

[antgav79]

I had no idea Mr. B Natural was related to pitch.

[Tareltonlives]

@antgav79 "And remember, Screwtape, FUN FUN FUN!"

[hollyhuffstutler]

Okay, so the mother is too poor to do gifts...why would she still do the "Get to bed, before Santa gets here, or you won't get any toys" thing?

[ZoomingDakota]

1:10 So they're going to *deep inhale* KIDNAP THE SANDY CLAWS STUFF HIM IN A BAG THOW HIM IN THE OCEAN AND SEE IF HE IS SAD

[Adamguy2003]

@ZoomingDakota Bravo!

[Tareltonlives]

@ZoomingDakota Was I the only one remembering the "Isn't Kidnapping Santa Claus a Federal offense?" when I first saw the movie?

[itsthebrew93]

Ok now if the "Devil" moved the chimney to the side, shouldn't there still be a huge gaping hole where Santa is standing?!?

[t0t3n3ng3l]

Those three kids will become the Drug Dealers and Federal Officials of Mexico.

[thejoexman]

Well, every single other nation on Earth got gipped, apparently, since Mexico was the only place Santa visited in the entire film.

[SpiritoftheEmperor]

nice Monty Python reference, Crow.

[bluereaper75]

fav line at 5:47

"you know what santa, its about 4 AM you better get a rush on!"

[changyimei]

Go ahead..make my day!

[LyndaHudson]

"The Devil is a weee-ner !"

[tokyopanda13]

lol, I love Pitch's theme song, haha

[Tareltonlives]

@tokyopanda13 "Even though he's the embodiment of evil he's still got a goofy song"

[lemonknowsstudio]

Santa has been to my house before he leaves reindeer tracks in the snow with

sleigh tracks.I wish this show would come back :(

[Applemask]

There's a good boy, or girl. Our love is implied, goodbye. Maybe we could do this again sometime, you seem like a nice kid.

[TitusYorick]

I think my nieces and nephew would be scared to death of this movie.

[DarthVenge]

"He enjoys pantaloons more than he should."

[norsef]

Pitch's only sin is being so fabulous its a crime.

[Applemask]

@norsef I'm fwustwated!

[TheLackofattack]

@norsef He's positively evil!

[jec444]

"this is one nite that no one can take from me, hee hee...." - Pitch the Demon

[Kramerdower]

~It's the devils' theme, his goofy little song

~Even though he's the embodiment of evil, he still got a goofy song

~In his tights he brings death, despair, destruction and disease

~Now lets all join him and laugh along

~devil!

[00madbox00]

wow forced enslavement of old men is fun!

[VeryAngryCamel]

Mr Merin? He's in this now too?

[Daggie1977]

"Why did they leave me so heavily medicated?" Poor kid, he won't be able to fight back when Santa gets there.

[KonradAdenauer]

ha this year i gave everyone yahzee

[hpridgen131]

This is actually way more interesting than the classic Santa Claus concept.

[cloud314231]

this movie is 100x better with these guys : D

[gargoyles9999]

@cloud314231 the Mst version is the only way a person could watch this movie

[guysmiley00]

That looks less like a "magical golden key" and more like a "stungun" with every passing moment.

[superspiderspy]

"Watch out Santa! They'll see you!"

"Ho ho ho! Well, it's the last thing they'll ever see!"

[ChaoticYak]

Would you shut the bloody organ grinder up!

[RavnDream]

"Isn't kidnapping Santa a federal offence?"

[jec444]

0:34 "Our love is implied, you seem like a nice kid, maybe we can do this again sometime." I love it!!

[snikt2k10]

See what I mean? Santa and satan are gunna end up being the same person. I mean, the reindeer should sell it for ya.

[TPrower]

Man, at the rate Santa's going, he's never gonna outrun sunrise. XD

[TPrower]

I love the puke riff when Pitch looks down the chimney. XD

[TPrower]

I think kidnapping Santa IS a federal offense. XD I also think it's ironic that they gave Satan's right-hand man such a goofy theme tune. In short, I love MST3K.

[ElveeKaye]

See, this is why you should mortar your chimney to the roof, instead of just sticking it up there on oiled metal runners.

[chicknutbrit]

Thanks a bunch for posting this episode...In my opinion this is the BETTER kind of Santa Claus movie

[chicknutbrit]

why do they leave me so heavily medicated?

love the West Side Story reference

[LightDeoxys]

Craig? :/

[pallokko]

@2:50 GRAIG?!

[EricLynchSucks]

I think Pitch hates Santa because Santa made a gay joke to him and didnt know Pitch was a member of GLAAD.

[LightDeoxys]

Narrator: What's he going to do?

Mike: You tell us!

Narrator: Oh ho! He's going to push the chimney out of place, so that poor old Santa won't be able to answer this house!

Servo: Ha! That nut!

...

*Pitch pushes the chimney and his legs spread as he walks*

All 3: Satan, honey! No!

Mike: Don't ever do that again!

[butheadVSbevus]

I wish they would have done more christmasy themed episodes would be nice to have a full xmas with MST3K eps all christmas themed.

[Triceratops916]

'It's the devil's theme...In his tights he brings evil, death, destruction and disease/And he has this stupid song!" Everybody! Go to 8:05 for the real lyrics.

[ApacheMan2K]

Servo: JM J Bullock is more frightening than that devil!

Mike: It is the witching hour, my friend.

Crow: Ha ha! Well, that's the last thing they'll ever see!

[DualShooter]

LMAO 1:38-41

[Kinemacolour]

"Satan, Honey! No!"

[KaterzTheMSTie]

6:16

I though Santa said bitch for a second there. XD

[sleepyhollow783]

I could go for some of Santa's "magic dream dust".

[tangerinextrees88]

@sleepyhollow783

Anything to get through this mindfuck...

[electricmastro]

1:00, lol.

[hollyhuffstutler]

"Our love's implied, hope we can do this again sometime, you seem like a nice kid"

[SoundsmithOne]

"It's not that... Maybe you've forgotten to ask him for a dolly."

yeah, BULL!!!

[9ansean]

Lupita: "Did Craig a dolly from Santa?"

Mom: "No, he had to settle for Gold and Myrth. Both of which I could really use right now."

[desertrose777]

Crow: "Craig? I don't think so" XD

[CrabOfDoom]

How does being poor prevent Lupita from just going out and dancing with the neighbor kids? Was there a tax on fun?

[dma69nyc]

"Hefty, Hefty, Hefty!"

"Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy!"

[pearce32]

"Will you shut the bloody organ up!" wow Crow is very pissed off with this film. This xmas film is so freaked out I'm sure the producers wanted to scare the living crap out of children.

[petercharleskrug]

So, it's OK to break and enter, as long as you're just there to leave presents and not vandalize or steal anything?

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

The Devil is a weiner!!

[chusidhe]

seriously. poorly behaved rich mexican kid's mom is hot.

and apparently someone named craig died for my sins..

[ManaAdvent]

"Why did they leave me so heavily medicated?"

"Isn't kidnapping Santa a federal offense?"

"Oh Santa I need some stuff man, just a taste! Come on man!"

"Hefty! Hefty! Hefty!"

"This year I give everyone Yahtzee!"

"Watch out for the Backdraft!"

"It's the devil's theme! This goofy little song! Even though he is the embodiment of evil, he still got a goofy song!"

[NecrosisOfLight]

NO! HE WAS NOT!

You must understand. It is critical. HE WAS NOT.

I cannot emphasis this enough.

[zerodragon9]

what?

[NecrosisOfLight]

You caught me at a VERY EMOTIONAL TIME!

I'd only recently gotten over your comment, and it took me a long time to accept it and move on.

I AM A BIGGER MAN NOW!!!

[zerodragon9]

still doesn't make any sense as to WHY you lashed out at me! I still don't even know what I said to offend you!

[NecrosisOfLight]

I THINK WE'VE REACHED A BETTER PLACE YOU AND I!

Maybe we should go out some time for a beer or watch the game.

I'm glad we could overcome our MASSIVE DIFFERENCES and connect AS FRIENDS

[zerodragon9]

I think you should see a doctor

[ShinyRayquaza2]

Isn't kidnapping Santa a federal offense?

[animegrrl5k]

"Look out Santa! They'll see you!"

Ho Ho Ho. It'll be the last thing they see (cocks gun)

[Reelbigearth]

7:20

Favorite part XD

[yadaman]

...I just realized... Satan Vs. Santa. xD

[JesterSentinel]

i loves tom's song at 8:04. I missed that the first time I saw this. T'is the gift of mst3k.

[Zaodai]

I realize the kids are Mexican, so they're used to jumping people as it is, but come on. It's three 7 year olds against one adult. Who is supposed to have magic powers to start with.

Not the most technically sound plan in the world...

[Durandal1717]

♫It's the devil's theme song...♫

[sleepyhollow783]

The devil is a wiener....

[buffypython]

"We can make him our slave." Holy crap!

Lupita is so cute!

"Santa's really haulin ass!"

So stealing is wrong, but breaking and entering isn't?

"Even though he's the embodiment of evil he's still got a goofy song!"

This has to be the worst movie ever, but it does have the best riffs!

[86thPatriot]

"Santa stop, drop and roll!"

[ShinyRayquaza2]

Santa: What happened here? I can smell sulfur!

Mike: (as Santa) Oh, sorry, that was me!

[0okamino]

Crow whispering "He's dead" at ~0:54 cracks me up.

[FerraTiKarynaNeil]

"He enjoys pantaloons more than he should." XD

[bruxbrux]

Yeah, it's weird but every now and then there's something in one of these movies that works.

[wilmabignose]

Oh my goodness gracious, did anyone else laugh out loud at the sight of Santa floating down with an umbrella made for a three-year-old? He needs a parachute!

[daf867]

Holy S#!t, I hate to admit it but those three boys are hardcore. Kidnapping AND Extortion, Pitch might have almost known what he was doing...almost.

[ShinyRayquaza2]

Anybody else get the feeling Pitch is trying to keep Santa from spreading his creepiness instead?

[CanadianPride8]

"Oh Santa I need some stuff man, just a taste, c'mon man!"

[ShinyRayquaza2]

The devil is a wee-ner...

[Watergirl22196]

Satan Honey, No

[ShinyRayquaza2]

Crow: WOULD YOU SHUT THE BLOODY ORGAN GRINDER UP?!

[livinintwilightzone]

So why does Santa try to save the little girl from Satan but just blows the boys off?! That seems peculiar...the more times I see this the more I laugh...

[QuincyQuincy12345678]

Narrarator:What's he doing?

Tom: You tell us!!

[GrammerAngel]

So was that "HA, HA!" durring the ash-blowing scene supposed to reflect Nelson Munts?

[thuggin83]

Yes it was..

[Hepathos]

KIDNAP THE SANDY CLAWS

[ShinyRayquaza2]

Narrator: And here is the planet earth.

Mike: Well, kind of.

Narrator: I wonder where Santa will go first? Europe? Africa? America?

Servo: Circle Pines?

[elemental402]

I don't know about you, but I'm rooting for the three naughty boys and their kidnap attempt.

[ChappaMan17]

"he heard santa"

"well i hope so with ears like that"

[FerraTiKarynaNeil]

Lupita: "Mama, please don't cry."

Servo: "You'll stain my dress."

Mama: "Christmas always makes me feel sad."

Mike: "You and a lot of other people."

[Anynom]

Apparantly the Devil is being played by Mr. B Natural.

[Tareltonlives]

That'd be the first thing that makes sense
