Been watching this episode ever since I was a kid, and it’s still one of the best Christmas specials of the entire series. Time really flies these years. Hope they bring back Bob Todd in the future. This guy is a total badass! 🔥🔥🔥
Technically it’s Haley’s fault because she was the one who told Jeff where they were hiding and neglected to tell him that Santa was out to get them for “All most killing Santa.”
@@williambarfield5499If I was here I would simply say "Hold on Stan, Hayley is to blame because she told Jeff to come, but did she warn him about Santa trying to kill you all, nooo" Stan: "Hey, you're right"
some people watch the Grinch every year, me well i watch the annual American Dad Christmas episodes😂👏 there's so many and this is one of the ogs that started it all 🙏🌌🎄☃️🙆🎁
@@aarondiaz6574 It both fault, Stan should have explained to Jeff about why they can't have Christmas. Hayley should have told Jeff about Santa trying to kill them.
Even if it wasn't Jeff's fault, the fact that he unknowingly led Santa right to the Smith's is pretty much the only reason why Santa called Jeff a good boy, and was willing to spare his life.
There's still armed combatants on a field of battle this would not be considered a violation of the Geneva Convention if that even matters in this scenario
Well, this was a very scary Christmas episode, although Santa Schmanta was actually considered the worst, while Yule. Tide. Repeat was a bit gruesome due to the family losing body parts/guts from ice skate blades and wires. Also, this proves why guns are terrible presents, and that the Smiths should've realized that starting a new Christmas family tradition of going to war with Santa isn't a good thing.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Yeah, the only reason I think Hailey has been with Jeff for as long as she has is because Jeff is about as opposite to Stan. As possible, and jeff gets on stands nerve so much.
In Family Guy, the Santa you see can change depending on the context or the joke being made. While the show loosely adheres to its own “universe,” it often bends reality or consistency to serve its humor or parody. For example: 1. Multiple Interpretations: Family Guy uses Santa in various ways, often parodying cultural depictions of him. In some episodes, Santa might be a traditional figure, while in others, he might be reimagined in a dark or absurd way, like in “Road to the North Pole,” where he’s depicted as overworked and disheveled. 2. Non-Linear Continuity: The Family Guy universe doesn’t have a strict continuity. Characters, including Santa, might behave or appear differently depending on the comedic needs of a particular episode. 3. Meta-Humor: The show frequently breaks the fourth wall and reuses characters in wildly different roles or settings, often for the sake of a joke or commentary. So, while Family Guy exists in a single universe, the depiction of characters like Santa isn’t tied to strict rules. It’s all about what’s funniest in the moment!
Yes, American Dad and Family Guy have very different portrayals of Santa Claus, even though both shows come from Seth MacFarlane’s creative team. In Family Guy, Santa is often depicted as a stereotypical version of the jolly old man, but with the show’s signature humor, he might appear flawed, tired, or cynical. For example, in the episode “Road to the North Pole,” Santa is overworked, exhausted, and lives in a dystopian, polluted workshop because the world has become too demanding. In American Dad, Santa has a darker, more aggressive persona. He often appears as a violent or vengeful character. For instance, in the Christmas episodes, he’s portrayed as a formidable enemy to the Smith family, even waging all-out battles against them. The contrasting versions reflect the unique tone of each show: Family Guy leans toward satirical comedy, while American Dad often dives into absurdity and action. Both, however, add their own twisted holiday humor to the Santa legend.
This is the single greatest Christmas special in all of animation history.
Even the song makes it more awesome
YES!!!
You better, better believe it is
Truth
@@moreno15266what's the song
Bob Todd is EASILY one of the greatest one-episode characters of all time.

Love how Francine and Hayley are normally talking about family while mercilessly slaughtering an army of elves.
3:16 Roger: "😲😏Wow, Hayley, 😆brand new respect for you. 😒Francine, *give Hayley your candy cane.* "
Francine is jealous that her daughter is better with her mouth than her.😊

The Christmas time is killing us theme in the background
"CAUSE CHRISTMAS TIMEEEEEE, ISSSSS KILLING US" 🙆🙆🙆🙏👏🤣
Hey let's sing a SLAYING SONG TONIGHT!
Technically it’s Haley’s fault because she was the one who told Jeff where they were hiding and neglected to tell him that Santa was out to get them for “All most killing Santa.”
They really should bring Bob Todd back
I heard that Bob Todd
0:23 easily my favorite part
"I heard that, Bob Todd!"
@doggone_dogman I hope you did you b#$% licker
I hope you did you butt licker

Stan Smith: "Who's the talking fish?"
Thank you Stan for Lashing out at Jeff's Stupidity.
I wonder why Hayley didn't tell him the whole situation.
@@williambarfield5499If I was here I would simply say "Hold on Stan, Hayley is to blame because she told Jeff to come, but did she warn him about Santa trying to kill you all, nooo"

@@kentwanwilliams1060 Exactly
It is never a merry Christmas for the Smith family, and this clip proves why.
some people watch the Grinch every year, me well i watch the annual American Dad Christmas episodes😂👏 there's so many and this is one of the ogs that started it all 🙏🌌🎄☃️🙆🎁
I’m glad bob wasn’t killed, he was too funny to be killed off.
2:10 " My name is Klaus Heissler " that's truly the best part 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bob Todd with the axes.
Family Guy and American Dad are supposed to be in the same universe yet their versions of Santa are completely different.
DAD IT’S TOO MANY OF THEM!!!
I Wanna Help Mr S

Bob Toob caught the eye of the beloved Khorne ……. Now he’s a Full blown Champion like me !!
Blood for the Blood God , Skulls for the Skull Throne!!
It's not jeff fault because no one told him that Santa is out to kill the smith
Actually, it's Hayley's fault as well. She invited Jeff, but she didn't tell him exactly what the reason was. So it's both their faults.
@@aarondiaz6574 It both fault, Stan should have explained to Jeff about why they can't have Christmas. Hayley should have told Jeff about Santa trying to kill them.
Even if it wasn't Jeff's fault, the fact that he unknowingly led Santa right to the Smith's is pretty much the only reason why Santa called Jeff a good boy, and was willing to spare his life.
Bob Todd was the MVP in this fight
Santa: Sorry for what? 4:37
That soundtrack SLAPS!
And to think this was all because Steve accidentally shot him.
I know, right? This Santa's got problems. lol
@@DragnBoi65 And I guess they did try to hide the body… Now that I think about it…
@@RubyExplosion30 Yeah but as he appears more, this Santa is definitely a psycho.
Bob Todd insane aim and badassary to go head first towards Santas army not knowing the Smiths really and protect is a real one.
Did any one noticed that in 2:20 is a saving private Ryan reference?
I sure did
Funny how they change Santa in American Dad while Santa in Family Guy always looks the same and Family Guy and American Dad live the same world
Same thing with God.
FG God: Balding
AD God: Full head of hair
Easiest my favorite american dad episode
They should have bribe Santa with milk and cookies
That ain't working with this crazy ass Santa
Yeah. More like meth and schnapps.
Man I REALLY wish Bob Todd became a recurring character after this episode
What? Hayley didn't think to tell Jeff about the situation when he invited him to their hiding spot?
apparently
I’m coming for you smiths!!!
How Did He Find us
The Smiths vs Santa is one of my favorite Christmas traditions
Me when in wave 35 in guts and blackpowder.
Merry Christmas from M.A.S.K. Crusader
Santa:I'm coming for you Smith's.
3:19
Looks like you're out of practice, Francine.
Is it crazy to say I’ve always wanted to take part in this?
1:57 she just shoot these defenseless Elfs
There's still armed combatants on a field of battle this would not be considered a violation of the Geneva Convention if that even matters in this scenario
That's how I want to spend Christmas
I was very unhappy with myself when I found out Klaus was not part of the story until the moment 2:09. I like Klaus.

August Burns Red does that song! 🤘🏻Any fans here?
Bob Todd is the G.O.A.T 😈
One bah humbug of a special
Yeah, the only reason I think Hailey has been with Jeff for as long as she has is because Jeff is about as opposite to Stan. As possible, and jeff gets on stands nerve so much.
My question is why is there santa different to the one in family guy there in the same universe are they not?

Send these toymakers to Hell!!!!
Okay then
