was he literally still stuck in the end??? Like the host woman bought him so much time and now she realizes that its a lost cause and moves on to next script xD
did you sell the rights of this video to a tv show that aired in the 2010s? I'm trying to find a video and remember it being featured in the show. i watched it on netflix
I can watch this all day. I love her the female announcer keeps going. That makes it even funnier and the music playing. LOL. A Train Wreck on so many levels.
She's like: "Santa is almost here! Yee, Go Santa! ..I can feel the magic. Clap your hands." and at the same time the dude is struggling and sweating, entangled in a rope and a frickin' santa beard and hanging 5 meters above ground with all parents laughing at him and a weird Rudolf guy waving at him from above. Laughed my ass...
@@Bomfunk777 ''I can feel the magic'' Is just pure art in this video as that man is desperately flailing around trapped on that fucking rope, it just has me in hysterics every time XD
They weren't. It doesn't change anything about Christmas if it's actually their parents giving the presents. I would rather my loving king parents give me heartfelt presents than some old neckbeard.
This guy will forever have flashbacks upon hearing "we wish you a Merry Xmas". What a strange juxtaposition of genuine peril alongside the blithe attempt to protect children from an awkward discovery. Once the beard came off, it was time to grab a ladder, and tell the kids Santa's disabled cousin had offered to fill in for him at the last minute, not just keep them all singing the most annoying carol ever written. Would've been interesting to see how it ended.
You need to give mad props to the announcer for being such a consummate professional, keeping at it, trying to protect those poor childrens' childhoods in the face of such incredible hilarity.
I know it's funny to say "Legend has it he is still there today", but this guy really is still there. Our family go once a week to throw bits of bread and other food up to him, and to change his full bag or urine for a clean one. His children have grown up now and have families of their own so they can't visit too often, but they do go occasionally and keep "Grandpa Rope" up to date with their lives and other current events. Tragic.
@@BigBadJones I love that they fake had him mic-ed up. "I'm coming down!" That female announcer made the whole thing so much funnier than it otherwise would've been had they handled it normally.
From the Nike running shoes to the skinny legs for a Santa to the beard getting caught to getting stuck for the whole head to be exposed & constant tugging his way down.. this mall Santa is the absolute best.
+Stormy Kopa How was she cringy? What was she supposed to do - say: "Okay kids, you caught us! Santa is NOT REAL! Just look, his beard was fake and he's wearing Nikes!"
@@Taliban.The.Hyperpower What's that supposed to mean? What is my religion for that matter? I'm honestly not even someone that hates your religion but many of it's followers raise a great deal of concern.
I shared this on FB 10 years ago. Every year FB reminds me to watch this YT video. And it always makes us laugh. My favorite part is near the end and the female presenter just goes "Santaaaaaa" 😂
It gets better every year that I come back to this video 9 years I tune in every Christmas and it never fails to get funnier everytime this is the funniest thing on UA-cam
i wish a guy wearing Raindeer antlers descended from another rope right next to Santa & went "Hey santa...WHAT ARE THOooOoOooO0o0O0o0o0O0o0O0oSE!?" Then ascended safely.
I'm impressed that Santa can get a present to every kid around the world in a night but doesn't know how to rig for contingencies in a rappel. Get your self-rescue game together Santa!
I have to post this every year. It never stops being funny and it's such a perfect metaphor for life. Sometimes we're the frustrated and stuck Santa, sometimes we're the disappointed and disillusioned kids, sometimes we're the terrified announcer trying to stay calm so everyone doesn't panic, and sometimes we're the poor elf who worries he may have dun goofed with his rappel setup and is about to be sued into oblivion. 🎅
Love this time of year when the comments start rolling in lol! Glad I was able to film and witness this historical moment. Happy holidays folks!
was he literally still stuck in the end??? Like the host woman bought him so much time and now she realizes that its a lost cause and moves on to next script xD
All the way till his feet hit the ground.. They had to cut the rope. lol poor kids were crying, it was a beautiful train wreck..
You killed Christmas.
why did you stop filming?
did you sell the rights of this video to a tv show that aired in the 2010s? I'm trying to find a video and remember it being featured in the show. i watched it on netflix
This shit could be straight out of a comedy movie! Every thing about it is perfectly hilarious!
Totally! Bad Santa or something.
exactly 😂
Yea you find out santa is actually Jose from marketing
Butt Head ahahahhaha 😂
Its a fucking masterpiece
I genuinely think this is probably the funniest video on UA-cam.
im dying
I've never laughed so hard in my life
It's on the third place actually, try medical failures boomerang and Arab Idol funny audition video.

Ha ha ha ha
8 years later and this is still one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen
The funniest part is when he wiggles with all he´s got out of anger and he just gets more stuck
Johnny DiedForOur Sins especially when you see his wiggles get more aggressive
so true lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Like a fly in a spider web
That must've been the longest 4 minutes of this guy's life.
I think it was longer than 4 minutes, considering we never see him get down xD

I CAN FEEL THE MAGIC! SANTA IS ALMOST HERE!!!
oh my gawd, that had me in tears laughing. wwheew
1:09 BAHAHAHA I CANT WAIT 🤭😂😂😂😂😂😂

seriously. i have never laughed so hard in my life lol
Omg 😂
I highly doubt this was his decision. Why are old youtube comments always autistic?
Same here so funnny watched it many times
@@skeeter1858 Friendly reminder to come back and watch this video again lol
I know this isn't the real Santa because this one is wearing Nikes.
MourningBreakfast and he’s 140 lbs
From the Nike running shoes to the skinny legs for a Santa to the beard getting caught to getting stuck for the whole head to be exposed & constant tugging his way down.. this mall Santa is the absolute best.
All these years later and I can still feel the magic.
"Maybe if you guys sing...I think if you guys sing nice and loud It can help Santa...come....down....."
The lady just blatantly laughing at him
I bet it's his wife 😂
My stomach hurts from laughing so hard! I'm gonna watch this every day as an ab workout
Just discovered this today and I cried so many tears from laughing so hard.
Who came up with the idea of Santa having to rappel lmao.
So true. Like why did he have to make the entrance like that 😅
That lady is just making it worse.
SHOULD'VE SUNG LOUDER YOU LITTLE BRATS
Sick Nikes.
he's going down with the sick nikes...
Just speak English.
OOOOOOHHH IM COMING OHHHHHHHH that sounded so wrong
SplinteredX especially just after the elf had been messing with his zipper.
who the hell came up with that rope gimmick should have just had him walk in lmao
I think I know what you were thinking lol
1:27 BAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Santa and his fresh kicks
I lost it when he slowly span around to reveal that the hat and beard had now come off too lmao
I'm literally crying of laughter. The lady laughing at 2:31-2:43 makes it even funnier XD
That poor mans legacy is forever ruined by this video, I litterally cried tears of laughter.
"I CAN FEEL THE MAGIC"
Some say he is still there to this day......just hanging there.
Theres still hope!
But Santa is noticeably thin.
but is there still rope?
He starved to death up on that rope
🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅 A NAW MAN
I’m here for the 10 year anniversary of this legendary video.
Who the hell thought this was a good idea, why cant he just be sitting down in the chair.. whats the point of him trying to repel down
S.W.A.T.
Santa
Was
Almost
There
@@pakistasikalfa 😂
To show the children how he comes down the chimney in every house. Lol!
after 5 minutes of struggling with beard stuck into the repel cog you hear:
everybody cheer for Santa, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!
this is so gold
I come back to watch this video every year. Hilarious every time
At least santa got the fucking nikes he wanted for Christmas
Santa wears tennis shoes? Seems legit.
Imagine being there with your kid who still believes in santa claus and this is how they find out lmao.
Santa is rocking those nikes.
Oh gosh here we go again, I watch this every year, no regrets, it seems it gets funnier. I can feel the magic
the speaker handles it so well... props to her
I cant breath... this is pure gold!!!!
Oh my God that announcer is so cringe XD
+Phantom Runners Lol bless her soul tho for at least trying to keep the mood going
+Stormy Kopa
How was she cringy? What was she supposed to do - say: "Okay kids, you caught us! Santa is NOT REAL! Just look, his beard was fake and he's wearing Nikes!"
+ajnode Not saying she could have done anything, just that she was cringe :P
Stormy Kopa you're cringe.
Stormy Kopa Actually I liked her. She was doing the best she could to not have the kids be like what the fk lol. I think she handled it nicely
The Grinch laughed so hard .
I can feel the magic alright...lol
Santa needs a raise...wtf is his little helpers? They must've been on lunch.
Kid: Mom?
Mom: Yes Honey?
Kid: Santa isn't real is he?
Mom: No honey...
Kid: Take me home.....

Wait a minute? Santa went to two malls this year?
XD. Lel

My favorite part is near the end and the female presenter just goes "Santaaaaaa" 😂
She almost gave up at that point 🤣🤣
Nike cancelled christmas
At one point he stopped giving a shit about keeping the illusion of Santa 😭🤣🤣
Lol
The lady laughing in the background as soon as the beard gets snatched.....
Santa traded his boots for sick Nike’s
Legend says he's still up there..
Santa may have repelled the children, but that is rappelling that he is almost sort of doing.
2024 - It's been 12 years and I still couldn't find a funnier video on UA-cam than this. What a masterpiece!
Instead of listening to Christmas playlists I open the Christmas season by watching this video
This is the funniest Santa fail I've ever seen. It just is. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
Love how his beard is just falling off and everyone’s pretending everything is normal.
I CANT FIND A SINGLE VIDEO OF HIM ACTUALLY GETTING DOWN WTF
some say he's still up there to this day.
He never got down
I bookmarked this. That's how funny this is. I can't wait to send this out during the holidays.
SANTA'S BEARD RUINED CHRISTMAS. -Timmy, 10 years old on the edge of a cliff
My face just turned inside out with cringe.
I'm drooling from laughing so hard. So this in a compilation . I would've just cut the damn rope and risked the fall.
It gets better every year that I come back to this video 9 years I tune in every Christmas and it never fails to get funnier everytime this is the funniest thing on UA-cam
That's Billy Bob Thornton.
I can just imagine all the angry upset kids screaming to their parents “you lied to me!!!” during the car ride home
when she says "I CAN FEEL THE MAGIC" while he's bouncing like a trophy bass
I Heared “I CAN HEAR THE MAGIC”
Elf helper on mic: the magic can happen when you guys sing!
Santa suspended on rope above their heads: OHHHH I’M COMIIINNNG
The cackling lady killed me 😂
i wish a guy wearing Raindeer antlers descended from another rope right next to Santa & went "Hey santa...WHAT ARE THOooOoOooO0o0O0o0o0O0o0O0oSE!?" Then ascended safely.
This is most certainly an old comment and I love it
2:21 Every kid in the audience: "who da fook is that guy?"
haha, the laughter at 2:31...
hahahah xD, bless those people!
Feeling festive so I'm tuning in a little early for my annual viewing of this unintentional comedy masterpiece.
ooohh.. almost there... ooohhh yes.. ohh.. I'm coming
"magic can happen" omfg i'm dying xD
OMG...I'm dying...I'm laughing so hard I peed myself....
How does this not have millions of views? This shit is hilarious
I feel bad for the guy but... on the same token, this will be always remembered n enjoyed... the lady laughing is frosting on the cake
2:05 the moment Santa knew he made a bad decision
The “macho man randy savage” pointing to the sky pose at 0:10 😂😂 ohhhh yeahh
Oh no Santa forgot to take his Prussik’s with him and a releasable rappel line would’ve saved a lot of hassle. 😂😂😂 this is gold
I'm impressed that Santa can get a present to every kid around the world in a night but doesn't know how to rig for contingencies in a rappel. Get your self-rescue game together Santa!
lmfao i feel so bad for the dude on the rope tho he must be having the worst day of his life i can't imagine how embarrassing that must be
Mall is closed right now due to COVID lockdown.... Santa is still there hanging.
🤣🤣🤣🤣that's fucked up nah lol
😂😂
jesus christ what a great video. if this doesn't get you in the christmas spirit nothing will
Santa's thinking dam this is not worth 10 bucks an hour
"Tell him what you want for Christmas!"
*cuts to Santa almost hanging himself*
“Ladies and Gentlemen this is not part of the show. Please help this man”
