Mall Santa: Difference between revisions

 

Occasionally one encounters a ''Jewish'' mall Santa.

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* A random Santa Claus can be seen wondering the streets of Dobuita late in the year in ''[[Shenmue]]''. He carries a bell, greets with "Merry Christmas" and everything.

* While not in a mall, there's a mission where you have to beat up elves belonging to a man in a Santa costume in the town square in ''[[Bully (Video Game)|Bully]]''. The hobo Santa could also count.

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* In ''[[Kevin and Kell]]'', Kevin takes a temp job as a mall Santa to earn the money to buy Kell's family heirlooms from her brother Ralph, who plans to sell them off anyway. He's surprised when ex-wife Angelique, herding her stepchildren from her (failed) second marriage, fails to recognize him. (It's pointed out to him that, with twenty children to keep track of, ''anyone'' would be a bit distracted.)

* In an early [[Something Positive]] strip, Jason works as a mall Santa. A circle of children's heads demonstrates the inevitable questions posed to him. The final panel is someone asking him what he wants for Christmas, to which he replies, "A vasectomy."

** On top of this, though, the first girl on his lap mentioned how she'd asked for a puppy the year before, and instead got Tap shoes (metal plates on the heels and toes). Her mother told her to thank Santa for bringing them, and she decided [[Groin Attack|to show them off]], leading into a [[Curse Cut Short]]. Given ''just that'' experience, who can blame Jason for being a bit cynical?

* ''[[The Boondocks]]'' episode "A Huey Freeman Christmas" has a subplot where Riley, angry at not having received a Christmas gift he asked for in previous years, physically attacks the local Mall Santa with golf clubs and BB guns. After hiring a security guard for Santa does nothing to deter Riley, {{spoiler|Uncle Ruckus is left as the only Woodcrest resident willing to be the Mall Santa, but none of the children who come to the mall are willing to accept a black Santa Claus as real}}.

* [[Family Guy|Stewie Griffin]] once got the short end of the stick with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8SR4e5nBoI an Asian Santa.]

** "Thats don'ts makes sense!"

* Skarr from ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]''. He nearly kills Billy, but no one intervenes (except the elves) until his beard comes off. Then, everyone beats him up for not being Santa.
