Santa Inc.

Seth Rogan and Sarah Silverman star in a raunchy Christmas mini-series.

Figured I'd start a tread for discussion mainly because Seth's hands will be on TMNT soon...lord help us.

Yeah. It's a big anti-Christmas thing and all about how it's racist and sexist that Santa has to be a white guy. No, really. I've watched it. Also, painfully unfunny.

not going anywhere near this. sounds and looks awful. I'm very fearful about how the TMNT movie he's involved in will turn out. Sigh. Just what this brand needs... another tarnish to join the countless others.

It’s comical how they thought they could blatantly get away with cultural appropriation and an overuse of racial and sexist stereotypes because they view themselves as the “good guys.” Now it looks like they are distancing themselves from this steaming pile of trolling crap! Seth Rogan sucks!

Yep, I suffered through it too, but at 1.5x speed so I cut an hour off the 3 hour runtime. I snickered all of once when a polar bear body guard tazed an unruly person and the tazer was a strand of Christmas lights....the only time.

Oh geeze I hope you guys didn't give HBO -I think it's HBO, right?- the paid clicks to watch that $#!(.

Also, does anyone know if Sarah Silverman hooks up with non-Jewish guys? I can get back in the gym and send her a fan letter in the hopes of hooking up. She's hot as f.

My understanding is the woke critics are a bit at a stand-still, on one hand it's something so terrible they can't sugar coat it enough without looking fake, but on the other hand they'll get cancelled by their own if they do say something terrible about it.

That should be an indication that being woke is a horrible choice and it's stupid to get mixed up with that cult.

I heard it bombed with the audiences and that YouTube had to disable the comments due to the people cracking Holocaust jokes within the comment section... that's about it.

Regardless of what happened, it doesn't seem like my kind of holiday film.

Sh*t, "making Holocaust jokes" was the last time Sarah Silverman was actually funny.

"My niece was doing a report on the Holocaust. She mentioned how Hitler killed 60 million Jews. I had to correct her, I said 'Well, actually, Hitler only killed SIX million Jews.' And she's like 'Oh, what's the difference?" And I said, 'Well, for one thing, SIXTY million would be UNFORGIVABLE'..."

See? Funny. Even more funny because she's pretty f*cking Jewish.

Also, not gonna lie, "Give The Jew Girl Toys" is one of my favorite Christmas songs. She was legit talented, once upon a time, until she realized she had to "pick a side"; she could keep being super offensive (and funny), or she could just become a bland liberal butt-kisser and continue to get work.

Too bad. She's hot, she still would've gotten work anyway even if the wags kept chastising her about how "You can't SAY those things!" Instead, she buckled. No integrity.

This meme seems like a way better starting point for a "Santa Guilt" storyline:

It's quite shocking just how badly some of those old Christmas specials hold up. Especially that one!

I mean, I still like it, it's just... bizarre. Definitely a lot of... "mixed" messages, to say the very least.
