Martin Short (Jack Frost) has made jokes to that effect, and yet he’s the only one who looks like they’re having a good time. That guy is such a little firecracker no matter the shit he’s given to work with.
Is anyone weirded out how there is absolutely no mention on how when they had a chance to save the life of the original Santa that died in the accident they not only kill him once, but twice?
If I was brought back in time right before the assassination of JFK, would I stop it? No, because there is no telling how much changing the death of ANYONE could impact the future. Butterfly affect and shit. Just play it safe, everyone who died in the past should remain dead. Anyways, I just put more thought into that scene than the writers of this pile of yellow snow did.
"What madman designed that fireplace?" "You approach the Shivering Isles. Through the door behind me lies the realm of Sheogorath, Prince of Madness, Lord of the Never-There."
The new-ish Santa Claus show on Disney+ is kind of like that. It covers the life of Santa all year round, and I think that's the main idea. But yeah, just a simple little sitcom about someone's father in-law being Santa would be pretty great.
Honestly I always enjoyed this movie just for Martin Short's performance, lines like this I can hear in my head after reading them. Even as a kid I found the plot about Santa being overworked and the in-laws coming to visit boring and awkward, but there's something about Martin Short as Jack Frost that is ridiculously fun to watch. Maybe it's because he's the only one in the movie who seems like he's enjoying himself, like watch his song-and-dance routine as Santa, he's clearly having a ball.
@@chuckbatman5 Too bad Martin Short was nominated for a Razzie for his performance. Along with Tim Allen. :( I thought Martin Short as Jack Frost looked like he was having some enjoyment.
@@chuckbatman5 Honestly, while the film definitely has major flaws-like the whole escape clause thing could've been written much better to not seem so silly or tossed in, and Martin Short as Jack Frost was a way, way better villain by a long shot than "rubber santa" who was just annoying and his soldier army made no sense even in a family crazy christmas movie. I wish it had been recieved better and we'd gotten a prequel about the Jack Frost character in all honesty. Also, Curtis is way less annoying 3 than in 2, good god.
“You’ve worked hard enough”. How do these always bring tears to my eyes and Christmas Spirit to my heart every. Single. Time. Thank you, Channel Awesome. Thank you, Nostalgia Critic. And Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤️
Arthur Christmas managed to do a similar thing with Santa as the “parent who works too much to see what’s important” and not only did it good, but did it uniquely as well, in a way that fit a Santa character instead of just having Santa pasted over the typical overworked parent.
In Arthur Christmas it’s shown Malcolm wasn’t always like that he just grew kinda obsessive over the years and kept trying to make excuses why he needed to keep working a job he clearly wasn’t cut out for anymore
What are you talking about that was Black Willy Wonka, I didn't see Malcolm anywhere, I did see Chart Guy #2 and Bill, but not Benny or The Devil for some reason.
‘You worked hard enough, enjoy your time off, you deserve it, we all deserve it,’ ~ Nostalgia Critic 2019 You don’t need to always have a message, but damn, I really needed this one this year. I’m heading home to see my family. Merry Christmas Doug, and thanks so much.
I like how nobody seems to react that both times the snowglobe takes them back, the entire timeline hinges on them 'accidentally' murdering the original santa.
Ok the in laws not noticing how the “Canadians” looked weird I can kinda understand but how the hell did they not get suspicious the second they saw Jack Frost the guy has icicles literally growing off of him
9:41 wait, you are telling me this is from the same director of the movie in which hey go back in time to the first thanksgiving to take Turkeys off the Menu?
That amateurish home-footage ending genuinely brought a tear to my eye. It reminded me of my childhood when we'd have all the family round for a get-together and entertain one another for the day. Those days are always so wonderful to look back on and enjoy the memories. Hope everyone at Channel Awesome had a wonderful Christmas with each other.
That was actually really nice. So often Doug has to hammer the message in with a big speech. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. But it’s good to see that a strong message can also be delivered with a simple line and some clips of people just having a good time. Merry Christmas, y’all.
I think what Doug means is the last episode before Christmas is usually heartfelt, and the first christmas special every year is usually the craziest...such as the heavy metal christmas song one lol
@@Trevornator Like either last year or the year before where he reviewed Nutcracker in 3D and when he reviewed The Christmas Tree to give a heartfelt message
Joke in The Santa Clause: “We shared a bowl of sugar, did some shots of brown liquor, played with my shotguns, field-dressed a cat, looked for women.” Joke in The Santa Clause 3: I honestly can’t think of one. The original is a PG-rated, playfully cynical film that properly counterbalances its Disney brand sweetness. It creates a good dichotomy that makes the emotional moments impactful rather than cheesy. The sequels are G-rated sugar-fests filled with overacting and an overreliance on cutesiness. Just the fact that they gave the reindeer bigger eyes and a silly gibberish style of talking shows how saccharine the sequels are compared to the original.
Yes we should all remember that this is not comedic in any way and anyone who would dare laugh at this has a iq that is very low and should not be regarded with any respect at all because they laugh at things that should be not laughed at in any matter as a person with a very high iq I see that this is depraved of comedy in every form now I have to watch Sesame Street and eat my baby formula
@@GoblinsOfFarmington You're a dick. I laughed at it. I've just known people who didn't take it very seriously, and suffered serious mental and physical health problems because of it. It's just a reminder to everyone to maybe mind their sleep a little more.
Honestly...I thought you were joking. Your effort is admirable, but many people fail to see that just because something serious is made fun of, doesn't necessarily mean it's never going to be taken seriously again. I laugh at a lot of offensive jokes but I still take real issues seriously in a serious environment, just as you seem to as well (from what you've said). So I think it's safe to say that perhaps such reminders don't always need to be said. We all know these things and were not going to forget them anytime soon.
@@saviitrius Yeah. To be honest, I have trouble seeing the line between the two a lot of the time. I'm some where on the autistic spectrum, and also have a history of caffeine addiction.
And that sums up my feelings for this film. Honestly, I loved the trilogy as a child and still hold a soft spot for all three films. The third one never seemed awful to me because I too lost myself to the fun and enjoyment this film has to offer.
AND.. the closing theme song that follows.. Aly & AJ's The Greatest Time Of Year. I remember seeing this movie in theaters, and hearing that song, I just HAD to get their Acoustic Hearts Of Winter album.
I could go the rest of my life without ever seeing this film around Christmas. The first 2 are fine. In fact, the scene in Number 2 at the school Christmas party is actually really endearing. But 3 is just... pain. Pure pain to sit through.
"Enjoy your time off?" ...You know what? Usually I'd make some snarky comment about working retail, but not this time. Thanks, Doug. You do, too. Merry Christmas, man.
That lesson hits home this year. I've been working so hard to out-do my past presents, I've always made them myself, that I kind of forgot why I made them: to show how much I love my family. They love my presents because I made them, not because of what I made. My mom and dad had to set me strait on that.
I always love an appearance from Devil Boner!!! He's my favourite character!! Even if it's a short one, he's just the best. And him & Tamara make the cutest couple ever. Let's hope they never break up!!
This is the dumbest santa trope Everyone thinks santa doesn't exist, *BUT HOW THE HECK DO THE ADULTS EXPLAIN THE PRESENTS UNDER THE TREE THAT THEY DIDN'T BUY?!?!* Edit: OMG this is the most likes I've got on a comment before
Well, my folks always told me that they were gifts from their friends or from family that didn't have time to do more than stop by and drop them off. I have a decent-sized family, all of whom now have kids of their own, so it's believable.
5:40 Was "Conrad" an intentional reference to Cat in the Hat, or have you forgotten that that elf's name is Curtis? 17:00 Did you just call Carol "Laura?" Laura is the EX-wife of Scott Calvin... 23:15 If you watch a later scene that you conveniently edited out of this review, Neal tells Scott that Scott being away from his family put more pressure on Neal, and it led to Charlie rejecting Neal as a father figure. THAT drove a wedge between him and Laura. 23:41 The second movie literally has the line "Kids are 86% happier since you've taken the job." 25:00 "I'm a Distraction" from To Boldly Flee, anyone?
Moral lessons in Nostalgia Critic's Christmas reviews: 2013, The Christmas Tree - It's about the effort & the sincerity of you spending time with your loved ones. 2014, Christmas Story 2 - Be nice to people who cared about you. 2015, Christmas With The Kranks - There's bad moments in good times & there's good moments in bad times. 2016, I'll be home for Christmas - There's gonna be a lot of anger, and there's gonna be a lot of love. 2017, Home Alone 2 - It's worth a shot spending some time with anyone, regardless you can or can't stand their behavior. 2018, Nutcracker (2010) - Get inspired to do something by those who understand it better than you. 2019, Santa Clause 3 - Do your best instead of pushing yourself too hard. Also, STAMPS.
I've got the perfect Christmas message after a review of the Santa Clause 3: Wherever there is injustice, you will find us. Wherever there is suffering, we'll be there. Wherever liberty is threatened, you will find... THE THREE AMIGOS!
Jesus was pretty strong. I heard he had to carry that damn heavy cross that he was crucified on AFTER he had the crap beat out of him. That's pretty metal......... and extremely fucked up but it was how they did things back then.
Watching the review, I actually kind of thought the "I'll get a mop line" was kind of funny. You don't use mops on fire! "Am I really that fat?" Nice Toy Story 2 reference!
And the Santa-bot makeup looks way more painful as Santa he had to wear aging makeup but in Santa Clause 2 he had to wear makeup that made his skin look plastic and wear plastic moulds of a beard and a wig

"A couple of running noses and some dead Citrus!"
The only joke I laugh at in this movie
Hangs up sign
Jack Frost: “I’ve done it!”

Jack Frost turns to the elf next to him: “what have you done”
(giggles) sorry, it was just so quiet.

Rogue T-Rex OH YES!!!
EASY!
AND.. the closing theme song that follows.. Aly & AJ's The Greatest Time Of Year. I remember seeing this movie in theaters, and hearing that song, I just HAD to get their Acoustic Hearts Of Winter album.
I wish they could've explained Bernard's absence in this movie.
I love how Doug keeps bringing up that star wars Christmas after all these years
Including the house Chewbacca's family lives in in one of the past Nostalgiaween intros
It leaves a mark xD
I could go the rest of my life without ever seeing this film around Christmas.
The first 2 are fine. In fact, the scene in Number 2 at the school Christmas party is actually really endearing.
But 3 is just... pain. Pure pain to sit through.
i second that
Agreed
That ending party scene felt weirdly natural, especially in contrast to the usual over the top and goofy tone of these reviews... good job!
21:54
Me: "What is this so supposed to hypnotize me?"
Doug: "No! it's just supposed to give you a splitting headache!"
"It's not working."
Or perhaps it's supposed to be the least subtle campaign for a Stamps.com sponsorship.
I wish he would've reviewed Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever.
This isn't Christmas related, but I would love it if he reviewed The Indian in the Cupboard and Tall Tale.
Didn't Cinema Snob already review that?
Mordecai, how did the genetic work in your cartoon? You married a female bat and have half-bat and half-regular children
Wish granted
Wish granted! He has!
not lying.... I laughed at the "I'll get a mop" line.....
"Enjoy your time off?" ...You know what? Usually I'd make some snarky comment about working retail, but not this time. Thanks, Doug. You do, too. Merry Christmas, man.
Just got fired from a retail job. Bittersweet, unemployed but free on Christmas.
That lesson hits home this year. I've been working so hard to out-do my past presents, I've always made them myself, that I kind of forgot why I made them: to show how much I love my family.
They love my presents because I made them, not because of what I made. My mom and dad had to set me strait on that.
I always love an appearance from Devil Boner!!! He's my favourite character!! Even if it's a short one, he's just the best. And him & Tamara make the cutest couple ever. Let's hope they never break up!!
This is the dumbest santa trope
Everyone thinks santa doesn't exist, *BUT HOW THE HECK DO THE ADULTS EXPLAIN THE PRESENTS UNDER THE TREE THAT THEY DIDN'T BUY?!?!*
Edit: OMG this is the most likes I've got on a comment before
Magic?
Well, my folks always told me that they were gifts from their friends or from family that didn't have time to do more than stop by and drop them off. I have a decent-sized family, all of whom now have kids of their own, so it's believable.
Thank you!
WorldWalker128 Not for everyone.
@@WorldWalker128 what if the parent have no friends
"And all of this is suppose to be taken seriously with that *GODDAMN FIREPLACE IN THE BACKGROUND!* "
I choked on the cereal I was eating.
Doubt you'll notice this but MERRY Christmas Doug
"Critic you need to chill."
"I INVITED CHILL!!!"
You wish.
5:40 Was "Conrad" an intentional reference to Cat in the Hat, or have you forgotten that that elf's name is Curtis?
17:00 Did you just call Carol "Laura?" Laura is the EX-wife of Scott Calvin...
23:15 If you watch a later scene that you conveniently edited out of this review, Neal tells Scott that Scott being away from his family put more pressure on Neal, and it led to Charlie rejecting Neal as a father figure. THAT drove a wedge between him and Laura.
23:41 The second movie literally has the line "Kids are 86% happier since you've taken the job."
25:00 "I'm a Distraction" from To Boldly Flee, anyone?
The Jack frost acted from being hugged by a little girl will never be okay with me.
Spencer Breslin's character in this movie isn't Conrad, it's Curtis. Conrad was his character in The Cat In The Hat.
That's the joke, he can't tell the two characters apart.
His little sister is in this movie too in the beginning
"I was frozen today"
Yeah. I missed that. :-)

Stamppps... Stammmppps.. What were we talking about? Oh yea, Santa something
“Yes sir, you heard correctly. We will be closed on Christmas Day. You can blame Jesus. He’s the one that popped up.”
That line was wrong in many ways.
Wouldn’t popped out be more accurate?
That line was meant as a joke.
It's always a delight to see Chester A Bum again , wish Doug brought back Bum reviews.
Happy to see Bum Reviews make another appearance. Feels like forever.
Moral lessons in Nostalgia Critic's Christmas reviews:
2013, The Christmas Tree - It's about the effort & the sincerity of you spending time with your loved ones.
2014, Christmas Story 2 - Be nice to people who cared about you.
2015, Christmas With The Kranks - There's bad moments in good times & there's good moments in bad times.
2016, I'll be home for Christmas - There's gonna be a lot of anger, and there's gonna be a lot of love.
2017, Home Alone 2 - It's worth a shot spending some time with anyone, regardless you can or can't stand their behavior.
2018, Nutcracker (2010) - Get inspired to do something by those who understand it better than you.
2019, Santa Clause 3 - Do your best instead of pushing yourself too hard. Also, STAMPS.
I've got the perfect Christmas message after a review of the Santa Clause 3:
Wherever there is injustice, you will find us. Wherever there is suffering, we'll be there. Wherever liberty is threatened, you will find... THE THREE AMIGOS!
That meeting with all the spirits in the beginning, probably what inspired "Rise of the Guardians"
"On Christmas you don't have to be perfect, just more perfect than Jesus."
- Doug Walker
Ok Liberal
"Needs work." XD
Jesus was pretty strong. I heard he had to carry that damn heavy cross that he was crucified on AFTER he had the crap beat out of him. That's pretty metal......... and extremely fucked up but it was how they did things back then.
My personal life motto
“Dougo” is the hardest I’ve laughed all day.
Then you have a strange sense of humor for one specific moment
It was a trip.
Gotta admit: Allen and Short did their best to save this film. But the script was just too much to overcome.
I loved it
@@Leftturnaddictme too
Nobody: Not a single squeak.
That guy: Reveiw Diehard
Mobile Suit Gundam: Endless Waltz.
Detective peralta: say sike right now
Richie Sahlin we don’t touch anime....not after....THAT review >_>
You predicted the future!
"You worked hard enough enjoy your time off"...Doug...I really needed to hear that actually, thank you, Happy Holidays..
Not gonna lie, I almost cried when Critic fell asleep at the computer and everybody came into the room.
Watching the review, I actually kind of thought the "I'll get a mop line" was kind of funny. You don't use mops on fire!
"Am I really that fat?" Nice Toy Story 2 reference!
At LEAST Martin Short was clearly having fun.
I love Martin Short.
And the Santa-bot makeup looks way more painful as Santa he had to wear aging makeup but in Santa Clause 2 he had to wear makeup that made his skin look plastic and wear plastic moulds of a beard and a wig
"The Escape Clause"
I wish I could escape life, so I can finally be happy.
same
I feel you.
Life is a video game...
I'm gonna just keep grinding through this.
*goes straight to the third because why not*
He already reviewed the other 2 in disneycember :P
For a brief second I thought your icon was Freddie Mercury's head and neck in a plate of pasta
Well is the worst one. And he in the beginning said than the first 2 are harmless.
