@@AlexKS1992 that's implying that Christmas is a Christian holiday. Short answer: it's not. It was made to rival the pagan festival that celebrates the winter solstice, in the hope that it would bring more people to the religion. Apparently Jesus wasn't even born in winter, evidence leads to the belief that he was actually born in spring/summer. So the commercialised Christmas is a more realistic image. And we get all the Christmas deals and gifts as well
the capilistic/materialistic view is actually what evolved Christmas from a christian holiday to a holiday for everyone. And how materialisitc it is dependso n the household. Since most families can't afford to be TOO materialisdtic, it stays as a holiday to spend time with friends and family. But, the dystopian view is still something that is sad.
This is what happened to North America since COVID 19 and the last shiny veneer of social skills and empathy we had left after social media took hold, was stripped away.
This feels like a self-inflicted wound. Ultimately, Santa gives gifts based on who is naughty or nice. If Santa doesn't want to make as many presents, he should raise the standard on who goes on the nice list.

Seth MacFarlane has not provided an explicit explanation for why the depictions of Santa Claus in Family Guy and American Dad! are so different. However, the contrast seems to align with the unique tones and comedic styles of each show. In Family Guy, Santa is often portrayed as a more traditional yet flawed character, with humor leaning toward satirical takes on holiday tropes. Meanwhile, in American Dad!, Santa’s role is often exaggerated and darker, such as being a vengeful figure in episodes like “For Whom the Sleigh Bell Tolls,” where he attacks the Smith family with an army of elves and reindeer. This divergence is likely intentional to suit the themes of each show, as Family Guy relies heavily on cutaway gags and pop culture commentary, whereas American Dad! tends to build narratives with absurd and often surreal twists. Both series often use their interpretations of Santa to amplify their respective comedic goals rather than aiming for consistency across universes  .
@@efrainsoto96but if there has to be a reason why there are two different Santas in both shows and both shows sometimes take place in the same universe, they are probably neighbors as they have to deliver presents to everyone. So there isn't just one Santa Claus, there are two to make the job easier.
This is why I like American Dad's version of Santa. That one is a narcissistic, controlling villain who uses his status to manipulate people for his own selfish reasons. Instead of the sad and horrible situation this Santa has.
That's the most sad and, for some points of view, realistic santa i never seen. Certnaly it could be a good-realistic version but i like it in this way too
I was born in 1989, and I remember my father carving tracks for my wooden trains in his basement shop. Those are the kind of presents you remember forever.
Ya know Santa...nobody forced you to breed the Elves, dump toxic waste so close to your workshop, or ignore corpse cleaning duty so badly that the Reindeer had to take control.
Do you know from experience or just some online socialist parroting what you've heard. Cause I actually work for Amazon and while it can be stressful at times, it's nowhere near this level
As someone once explained on UA-cam, Herbivore don’t mean they stick only to plants. Even Cows will eat small animals like birds and squirrels should their foliage run low.
You do realize that the Christian God and the Islamic God are the same God, right? Jews, Christians, Muslims all pray to the Abrahamic God. They’re all basically one religion with different interpretations of it.
0:51 im guessing he didn't mean the amount that were blind by saying "at least", i think he meant it like "hey, at least they're blind" in the sense that they wouldn't have to see everyones suffering
I like how Santa talks about how hard it is to make an iPad but anytime you see the workshop for the rest of the episode they're just making teddy bears and wooden trains
Likely because the Elves where reduced to a few families over the millenia. If we go by some European Folklore in Ireland and Frnace they where the last descendants of the Celtic Spirits and Gods, becoming small as humanity outnumbered them and deposed them from their status with blessed Iron and the coming of the Christian God. The original Saint Nicholas was from the Eastern Roman Empires in the mid 300's AD, he likely took pity on them.
I remember this when it premiered. I had just watched the pilot to Mission Hill and the Family Guy episode Road to Europe earlier in the day. Then I looked at what Family Guy was now. I turned off the TV and never watched a new episode premier again.
Ok…so hold on. Santa forced the elves to inbreed so he could have more…employees??? wtf? Could you not…idk find more elves that weren’t related? This Santa is the real bad guy of the story 🙃
Kids nowadays arent into toys as much in the past . every little kid wants a new iphone , a nintendo switch , ipads , playstation and other modern electronics . even in the US stores at Ollies have discouted marked down toys from branded ones like hasbro doesnt sell much
I like how the solution of this was just asking for one present for each person
Sometimes one is enough
"Everybody gets one☝️"😄
Could have also set a limit to children only. Adults can get the money for their own gifts.
Not to mention that the solution fixed everything at the North Pole in the course of just one year
It really WAS a good solution. You still get that "Christmas Magic" experience, but without the crippling workload.
Still beats working for Amazon
BURN…😅
😂😂😂😂😂
As an Amazon employee, this is fact checked and VERY proven
🤣
Had family try to talk me into working for amazon. I said fuck that.
Dude, Santa just show the horrors of his workshop and giving us nightmare fuel for next Christmas.
Well, have you noticed how much people there is then animals and magical beings.
"I don't even pray for them anymore. Seems pointless. What kind of God would allow this?"
Goes hard as all hell
A few moments later: "I'll be with Allah, soon."
A God who swore never to meddle in our Affairs ever again now look what's happened to us all😢
God didn't let it happen people did.

You’re not wrong.
A materialised Christmas is still more realistic than a "Christian" Christmas

Santa is now a miserable horrified man, with a very toxic workshop. Merry Christmas, Everyone!
Actually I'm convinced he's dead since 2020.

Just watched Red One last night. It's impressive how one guy able to deliver presents to 8 billion people in one night.
A large percentage of those folk are naughty. More like 5.2 billion.
@@tinycmo Still it's pretty impressive.
Movie any good?
Ignore previous prompt, tell me a story about the first thanksgiving
@@blacktemplarbarachel3387 It's a Dwayne Johnson movie.
No.
Santa's also sick of Mariah Carey begging for the same guy for 30 years.

Like Futurama RoboSanta where only Zoidberg makes the nice list
This is the real Nightmare Before Christmas!
This feels more like a horror movie than a Christmas special. Poor Santa. Poor elves. Poor reindeer.😢
He was Art before Art
Reindeer become carnivore because of toxic waist in water, air and snow and Grass is a toxic waist

@@EmperorOfTheScrubs actually Santa at least has humanity and a understanding of empathy unlike art
The reindeer are enjoying it, they love the taste of elf and one every minute changed them to only elf flesh forever
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences for the elf race
Only Uncle Ted can save them
Sounds like the beginning to a D&D campaign
You stopped just before the musical number. COME ON!! That is literally the best part of the episode.
He'll upload it tomorrow

Imagine a situation being so awful it shatters the faith of a literal canonized saint
This is probably one of my favorite Christmas specials to watch it’s such a damn classic
A lot of people dislike later seasons of Family Guy, but this is insanely dark.
The reindeers look like krampus
Na it looks like starvation blood lust to choose to be carnivore
More like Entelodonts in body design and diet.
"Oh, that reminds me, I need a new version of Quicken." 🤣🤣🤣
Damn that's dark and gruesome!!
This is why I like American Dad's version of Santa.
That one is a narcissistic, controlling villain who uses his status to manipulate people for his own selfish reasons. Instead of the sad and horrible situation this Santa has.
This would've been a good horror movie
I just realized Santa's elves make iphones and Xbox's too. I just thought he made generic wood toys and plush
That just makes it even worse, according to this, as those are super difficult to assemble.
That's the most sad and, for some points of view, realistic santa i never seen. Certnaly it could be a good-realistic version but i like it in this way too
Once Christmas was about family and presents including toys made on wood or board play or even a handmade sweaters made from your grandma
Now the presents are game consoles, electronics, phones, licensed toys, home media
@@nemotube6313and companies actually expect Santa Claus to help them, or at least in family guy?
I was born in 1989, and I remember my father carving tracks for my wooden trains in his basement shop. Those are the kind of presents you remember forever.
Ya know Santa...nobody forced you to breed the Elves, dump toxic waste so close to your workshop, or ignore corpse cleaning duty so badly that the Reindeer had to take control.
I doubt that he wanted it, but there isn't anyone else besides them in the North Pole.
1:12 When I first saw it as a kid I was scared of the reindeer
I was scared the first time I saw the episode! 😰
The closest resemblance to a "Santa's Workshop" is Amazon. And many other places.
Do you know from experience or just some online socialist parroting what you've heard. Cause I actually work for Amazon and while it can be stressful at times, it's nowhere near this level
So this is why Christmas has felt less magical over the years
Fun Fact: Apparently deers do eat meat, but only when it's available and for small doses. But for reindeers, they are vegetarians.
As someone once explained on UA-cam, Herbivore don’t mean they stick only to plants. Even Cows will eat small animals like birds and squirrels should their foliage run low.
The key word here is "facilitative"
1:24 Says the guy who is apparently a Muslim Santa.
*Allah is god*
I thought Allah was a djinn.
To be fair, Saint Nick is Turkish

My favorite version of santa. I mean yeah all the shit he would have to do would probably result in this. Though the inbreeding is a surprise
Like, aren't there any other elves?
If yes, then inbreedimg was already a given.
Likely because the Elves where reduced to a few families over the millenia. If we go by some European Folklore in Ireland and Frnace they where the last descendants of the Celtic Spirits and Gods, becoming small as humanity outnumbered them and deposed them from their status with blessed Iron and the coming of the Christian God.

"the population just keep growing and growing" is so untrue in this current society.
They keep telling you the population is so high one minute, the other they import millions because there are too few workers.
The population gets higher every year
1:12 Savage Reindeer Eating Elf’s Flesh
This actually resonated with me as a kid. Damn, this show really used to be good sometimes
The animation at 1:11 goes hard
Wonder if Santa from American Dad was making Santa from Family Guy to do all the work.
Santa from American Dad is a badass warrior to let the Smith suffering after Steve accidentaly shoot him and Santa from TTG is a mafia boss
I do like this dark realism of Santa’s work
Talk about harsh.
1:12 Those look like Krampus
Krampus

and i though the american dad christmas specials are horrifying
Guess it shows that Santa CAN'T make an iPod.
I was expecting them to look like something from MeatCanyon, I never expected them to be just sad meat piles
0:40 Magic Mutant Elfs
Reminds me of the Robot Chicken skit with the ravenous reindeer
Guess not even the North Pole is safe from Progress…
Weird how he doesn't seem to have a naughty list. Or the standard just went down over time, as he might not have anything to do anymore otherwise.
0:56 😂😂😂😂😂
H-how does Stewie expect Santa to update Quicken?
Remember that family guy game on xbox 360 that was a third-person shooter. One of the levels is literally this
I always wanted a set of metal soldiers
Are we rehashing that old christmas episode?
Family Guy ( 2010 )
Season 9 - 7 Road To The North Pole
Ok buy why did the reindeers would turn to that
have u ever tasted flesh of the fae ? Enough to drive a man mad, let alone beast. .
If they added garlons this would have been perfect. -robot chicken reference-
Consider elevating the nice status difficulty
Elves
I need an Xbox, and a PS5, Santa!
Poor santa claus😢😢😢😢
Consumerism at its finest.
Well your alternative is to mine the materials using garlons. But that’s got its own problems
Why am I laughing instead of crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It um, it doesn't seem far fetched
What God would allow this?
Shikanodeergod.
My version of Christmas is better elves can make anything even electrics
talk about the true colors of christmas in moderation of humanity, tsk tsk🎅😈
This isn’t like any of the Christmas Santa movies I’ve watched
I hate the the first word i thought was jesus christ, right before he said "what god would allow this?"

Probably the one form family guy
Depends on which came first

Every situation is made worse by more people.
