You thought binge-drinking Santas stumbling from bar to bar in Hoboken was comedy gold? Well, brace yourself, because SantaCon is often a more tragicomic affair than a holiday special. But fear not! If you’re in need of true Christmas hilarity, I’ve got a sleigh-full of Santa fail videos from YouTube ready to deliver laughter.
Let’s save the absolute gem for last. But first, have you ever pondered what Santa gets up to once the sleigh is parked and the cookies are all gone? Spoiler alert: he heads straight to the bar, apparently.
Ouch.
When you’ve signed up to don the red suit for a gaggle of kids, making a grand entrance is crucial. Picture this: Santa tumbles in, and I have a hunch that a visit to Trinity Rehab was in order post-party. Next up, we have a scene that slowly unfolds like a tragic play, as Santa’s dignity crumbles away before our eyes.
Before we reach my all-time favorite Santa fail, let’s take a moment to appreciate a compilation of Santa flops that will leave you wondering how these have yet to become an Olympic sport.
And now, if none of those managed to elicit even the slightest chuckle, I assure you, unless you’re a literal Grinch, this one’s bound to crack a smile. Somewhere in the mall, a bright idea struck someone: why not have Santa rappel down from the rafters to greet the children? Spoiler alert: that individual likely lost their job.
One of the best parts of this disaster is the female announcer, unwavering in her professional demeanor, as chaos erupts before the eyes of horrified children. That’s right, lady, just keep the narration flowing, and maybe—just maybe—everyone will forget the impending disaster unfolding in front of them.
This ridiculous video has somehow become a bizarre Christmas tradition for me. While some have “Rudolph” or “Die Hard” on their annual watch list, I’ve got this gem ready to roll. So, Merry Christmas to all—may your holidays be filled with as much laughter as Santa’s epic fails!
