So, here is something to think about. If you need a wife to be Santa and Tim Allen's character accidentally killed a Santa to get the role of the new Santa, what happened to the last Santa's wife? She wasn't there when Tim Allen jumped into the sleigh and was immediately taken to the North Pole. Did the elves hide the original Mrs. Clause while, at the same time telling her that she's now without a husband and a home because you know they either sent her packing or killed her off. Good job writers.
Santa does not age, but Mrs Claus does and she will die much sooner than Santa, so the first film’s original Santa’s wife dies maybe decades or more ago, and his ease at slipping off of the roof was more a suicidal giving in to the freedom to die and join his wife, pushing that burden onto the next man.
@@FreedSamurai The whole premise of the movie is that Tim is turning into santa, but maybe the north pole is just a metaphor for a cocaine infused purgatory.
@@MichaelCharles2011 Yeah, and neither did the writers, obviously. :-D TBH: All of the movies were dumb so I shouldn't expect so much. Still, I love considering the darker side of this operation. Worse would be assigning Mrs. Clause to the new Santa. I could see it as a position rather than a arranged union but either way, it would be difficult to pull off unless they made her a major part of the operation and Mrs Clause was more of a title than Santa's actual wife. They could then have Tim fall in love with her but then we wouldn't get the hurried marriage that was required for the second movie, which you know was completely formed around that, "Mrs Clause" line in the movie.
"And so. The religious figure, this bishop, *sniff* this reincarnation of Christianity as a symbol of Captialism *sniff*. He goes to the North Pole and fights the plastic Hitler ans so on and so on."
Harmon left out that the eventual Mrs. Claus is ELIZABETH MITCHELL, a woman who is so incredibly gorgeous that they can credibly cast Molly Shannon as unattractive. So a divorced toy salesman whose weight and hairstyle are DISTURBINGLY inconsistent gets the world's most beautiful high school principal to fall in love with him -- a woman, by the way, that he only met because he was such a shitty parent to his son that the kid was getting in constant trouble at school.
Dan Harmon has developed so much as a writer over the course of his career that, in this twenty minute rant about The Santa Clause 2, he came up with the core of like ten alternative scripts for it and they're all better than the original.
How does Santa deliver all the presents in one night? In the movie, that kid says "not everyone celebrates Christmas" and "also I think there's a time warp thing". So the explanation is "no Jews" and "hey man like what even is time?"
If you're constantly traveling to places where its night time, wouldn't it be 24 hours of night time? Coz while its day in one place its night in another, or am i just an idiot
It’s amazing how far Dan can get into an analysis when Jeff isn’t there to completely derail it by asking someone in the audience what they do for a living or some fucking shit.
Weirdly enough I remember even as a kid not having an issue with the legal use of the word "clause," but thinking "motherfucker, he didn't sign that shit, he's not responsible for that contract."
I wonder how mad Harmon will be when he finds out Santa Clause 3 is the “father who works too much and is neglecting his family” trope mixed with “it’s a wonderful life”
I enjoy Xmas, but I always remember Jon Stewart’s brilliant joke about Christmas movies and specials: “It’s always the same plot! Someone: Aw, we’re not going to have Christmas this year... Someone else: HEY, WAIT!”
If any Dan Harmon Style nihilists are reading this thinking there aren't any good Christmas movies please go watch Santa bears high-flying Adventure. Don't overthink it just feel the love
@@popburnsy3207 All the scenes have a little facecam of Harmon screeching about the psychosocial structure of whatever cuck scene is playing; and believe me, it's alllllll cuck porn.
probably the basic problem with santa movies has been adressed here, right? usually, the parents don't believe in santa in those movies. yet, when christmas is saved at the end, santa delivered presents to all their houses and they dont freak out. so do these parents then think 'sure, I totally bought those presents' or 'i guess some stranger broke in here yesterday and planted wrapped packages that i'm gonna let my kids open now' or did they just buy so many of their own presents that the additional ones from santa dont really stick out? are those the shitty presents that aren't really talked about later?
Haven't gotten that far in this yet. But did they establish what happened to the previous Santa Claus' wife? Did she just die when Tim Allen accidentally killed the previous Santa?
He probably never married. Why does everyone think that the previous Santa’s figured it out when it was clear that the elves had no about it until Curtis checked.
I just think it’s funny that several generations of people will spell “Santa Claus” wrong because of a 1994 Tim Allen movie and not understand that the title is a pun.
This movie should have starred Kevin Sorbo. That's the flavor of Christmas protection it has. In fact, I'm pretty sure Kevin Sorbo made a movie that's basically The Santa Clause, but with more Jesus.
I wonder how much the Tim Allen Santa knows what specifically naughty things people do. Like if he ran into a serial killer on the street, would he know? What are the limits of Santa's naughty knowledge.
If santa clause NEEDS a wife.... what the fuck happened to Mrs. Clause BEFORE tim allen!?!?!? He accidentally killed santa, Became Santa, and then she just disappeared !?!? What the fuck happened to her 😂😂😂 did they send her back to America and told her, "nobody will ever believe you if you talk about the north pole" Or what would have been funnier is if they forced her to continue on with Tim Allen in an aranged marriage via the death of her husband she grew to love who is aparently REALLY replaceable at any moment 🤣

Agreed, its more so theres just so many Christmas films that get pushed out that there are just way more shitty films than good ones Also I'm going to say Rudolph the red nose reindeer the stop motion one. That's a classic for me
@@Lewis5020 If you don't like Scrooged, fine; BUT, other than pretentious critics, I've yet to find anyone who dislikes Christmas Vacation. A solid 8.5 out of 10 imo.
