Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogen bring naughtiness and f-bombs galore to the North Pole in Santa Inc. trailer
The claymation HBO Max series premieres on December 2
Aux News Santa Inc.
‘Tis the season for Christmas content to start rolling in and HBO Max just shared the trailer for its upcoming holiday-themed series, Santa Inc. But don’t be fooled by the cutesy Rankin/Bass-type stop motion—Santa and his elves are very naughty.
In the trailer, we’re introduced to an elf called Candy Smalls (voiced by Sarah Silverman), who just wants to “get these fucking kids some fucking presents.” You see, someone has to be the next Santa at some point. The old man doesn’t live forever. So, she’s trying to be considered for the role as the next jolly ol’ Saint Nick.
This Santa (Seth Rogen) is treated like a rock star. He has elves flash their boobs for him, and he’s met with applause by just gracing people with his presence. So, who wouldn’t want to be the next Santa and hold so much power? But, as an elder elf explains to Candy, the position’s “mostly been a white man’s game.” And by mostly, he means strictly.
Santa and the board of directors are “all male and all white,” as Devin (Nicholas Braun) points out to Candy. But that’s not stopping her from trying—and she knows exactly how to knock their ego a few pegs, too: “Just so you know, the women of the North Pole make fun of one of your dicks. Have fun wondering whose it is,” she tells them.
But she also knows she has to play nice, so she tries to “bro out” with them, so they can see her as one of the guys and perhaps notice her potential as a future Santa.
Besides Rogen, Silverman, and Braun, the rest of the cast is pretty great, too. The cast includes: Maria Bamford, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, Craig Robinson, and Joel Kim Booster. The series is also in good hands, created and written by Parks And Recreation and Shrill producer/writer Alexandra Rushfield.
The show premieres on Thursday, December 2.

The joke is itâs Christmas and feltmation but they say âfuckâ and stuff. Will there be other jokes besides cute feltmation elves talking about their porn stash and taking a piss? Youâll have to watch to find out! (But probably not.)
It sounds like Sausage Party, but with Christmas.-d
Sometimes, itâs ok to rein Seth and Sarah in a bit. Restrictions can breed creativity (ie: the phrase Master of Your Domain in Seinfeld) When you donât you get things like Sausage Party.
That was basically Sausage Party, which sucked. So…weâll see.
Sausage Party being a critical darling absolutely baffled me.
Wait, it was? Thatâs madness. It was terrible.
Iâve never been more angry at the end of a film. They just gave up the story in the third act with that meta crap.
Maybe you should come to terms with having a shitty taste in films.
Sausage Party seemed like the kind of movie that was really fun to write, super stoned with your friends making the nastiest jokes you can. Unfortunately sitting through that movie is a completely different storyÂ
Ugh, when are we going to move past this? It was never even a little bit funny.
I thought it was âfuck and suckâ, but I guess you can âfuck and stuffâ too. Do your thing. I respect your pronouns.
Hey, thereâs also jokes about dick sizes.
i feel like i should be the target demographic for this movie. but it looks exhausting.iâll wait for the new aardman studios film, which has friggin gillian anderson in it.
Itâs 2002’s edgiest concept!Â
So, Silverman and Rogen in a Christmas movie. Wonder if Silverman views these roles as goyface. (To be clear, I really donât care if non-Christians perform in a Santa movie.)
sheâs playing an Elf.Â
If you donât care, then why are you wondering?
To paraphrase Homer Simpson, just because I donât care, doesnât mean I canât find something interesting.
THEY SHOULD CAST ACTUAL ELVES!!!!What, elves do not exist? Next youâll be telling me that Santa doesnât exist, and… ..(dramatic pause).WHAT???
https://www.avclub.com/sarah-silverman-says-hollywood-has-a-problem-with-jewf-1847804296Itâs quite possible sheâs trolling here.
Elves are make-believe, like vampires, gremlins and eskimos!Â
So a Bitch Pudding Christmas special basically?
Some people think Katee Sackhoffs best work was in BSG , me I point them at that clip.
Yeah but less funny
You mean itâs an animated product about Christmas- AND they say fuck and stuff? That sounds SOOOOO funny.
Well if Sarah Silverman is involved, someone has to say âvaginaâ in a
widdle-pixie voice, like a LOT.A LOT.
Yeah, I sorta got tired of hearing it by the end of Wreck-It Ralph, and donât even get me started on Ralph Breaks the Internet.
Hard to see why this movie is necessary when the 2019 classic âNoelleâ starring Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader continues to exist. Did they not know Santa has a daughter? Rated G so no swearing, too. Youâre welcome, everyone.
Hard to see why âNoelleâ was necessary when 2006’s âSanta Babyâ already exists. Which was basically the same story with a tenth the budget, worse actors and a much better script.
IDK, isnât Santa Baby the movie with Jenna âOprah helped me destroy the credibility of vaccinesâ McCarthy?
Thatâs the one! But it was before McCarthy went all batshit crazy.
Anna Kendrick is a national treasure. She can do no wrong.
Santa who cusseses? Wow, fuckinâ neat. Who the fuck ever thought of this shit?
Robot Chicken for, oh, 15 years or so.
And Billy Bob Thornton before that.
Thereâs way too much cussing on this page. Everyone please curb the fucking nonsense, and you cut that shit, bitch
Will Mrs. Claus initially present as a sweet old lady and then abruptly start talking about eating assholes? Stay tuned! Â
I think we can also assume she will rap.
Seth Rogen is just gross.Â
Honestly, he comes off as a pretty nice guy, normal even, but yeah, his sense of humor definitely leans juvenile. To be fair, heâs done pretty well with it, so I guess plenty of people also find his schtick funny.
Well I think it could be fun.Â
âFrom the makers of Sausage Partyâ.At least they were kind enough to warn us.
Weird title for this. Sausage Party, I get. But âSanta Inc.â? Was it between that and âUntitled R-Rated Santa Projectâ?
Is Sarah playing a Jewish elf?
All Elves are Jewish. Santa is a huge anti-semite and he enslaved them millennia ago. It works out because they donât take off around Christmas anyways and Santa really likes to eat left over Chinese food when he gets back from delivering gifts
LMFAO! I knew I could count on you. LOL!

Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
(Santa Incorporated)
fook it all and fookinâ no regrets
never a happy ending for these dark elves
Damn, Paul Rust had like a 20 second scene in that trailer, and he doesnât even show up in the billing? Talk about a new no-no.
Start the clock!!
âNew no-no! Where is Paul Rust on the call-sheet?â
Whoa! You think itâs all just a standard cutesy Christmas special and then, BAM, one of the elves says âFuckinâ!â TWICE! Holy crap, mind blown. This is genius.
Oh gosh, another movie on a streaming service I donât have. Thank god it looks like pure shit so I donât to care about missing it.
I will always watch a show about destroying the patriarchy from within, if thatâs what this is. I have a feeling that is not the main vibe here, unfortunately.
Part of me cringes from hearing it play so heavy handed. Not that Iâm not for taking down the patriarchy, but something here feels like the showâs overcompensating, like you find someone you think is cool and progressive but then backstabs you by supporting Tulsi Gabbard or something.
So, whatâs the over/under on the number of complaints from shocked (shocked!) parents who start up this special to babysit their kids?Because as we all know, âfuckâ doesnât belong in Christmas cartoons, it belongs in NASCAR stadiums.
Just seeing the premise, this felt like something we donât really need. Now that Iâve watched the trailer, my first impression seems confirmed. Unnecessary is bad enough, but this just looks painfully unfunny. And I say this as someone who generally likes Rogen & Silverman.
