national lampoons, clark.

[Soul Daddy]

It's pretty [censored] awesome. I forget about it when discussing Christmas movies, because I watch it all of the time.

Kid: Why do you need a car?
Willie: What the fvck are you talking about?
Kid: This car.
Willie: Which turn is it?
Kid: Sage Terrace. Where's your sleigh?
Willie: It's in the shop, getting repaired.
Kid: Where are the reindeer?
Willie: I stabled them. Is it left or right?
Kid: That way. Where's the stable?
Willie: Next to the shop.
Kid: How do they sleep?
Willie: Who? The reindeer? Standing up.
Kid: But the noise. How do they sleep?
Willie: What noise?
Kid: From the shop.
Willie: They only work during the day, all right?
Kid: I thought it was always night at the North Pole.
Willie: Well, not now. Right now it's always day.
Kid: Then how do they sleep?
Willie: Oh, shlt. Sage Terrace. What is it with you, anyway? Somebody drop you on your fvcking head?
Kid: On *my* head?
Willie: Well, yeah. What, are they gonna drop you on somebody else's head?
Kid: How can they drop me onto my own head?
Willie: No, not *onto* your... Would... God damn it! Are you fvcking with me?

"Look, I've boned alot of fat chicks in my time, sure. But, as far back as I can remember, I've never fornicated anybody."

To answer OP's question, YES, and it's not even close.

My inlaws have never seen a Christmas Story. Blasphemy.

[RunDownHouse]

Nostalgia shouldn't blind you to the brilliance of Bad Santa. As I sit alone on Christmas Eve, I will definitely keep a bottle of whiskey near at hand and pop this in.

[ChipWrecked]

It's a great flick, no question. But the genius of Ralphie rules all Christmas movies.

I've watched both in the last 2 weeks. Christmas Story stamps on the bollocks of bad santa, and then dumps the body. (oh and Christmas Vacation pwns it too EDIT: And Trading Places too).

[tdarko]

this movie is in my top three favorite comedies, so yeah its my favorite christmas movie.

p.s. i have actually seen the spanish version you pictured (w/o subtitles).

Christmas story is timeless humor. Plus I don't think you could label a movie the best Christmas movie ever if no kids can watch it.

[Blarg]

Bad Santa is really fun stuff. I thought I wouldn't like it since it was so overhyped, and since most comedies kinda suck anyway. But I got a real kick out of this one.

Besides, it's a movie that encourages you to drink and f*ck and stick it in poopers on Christmas. What could be better than that? Talk about bringing families together!

[westside_eh]

Bad Santa was hilarious.

However the correct answer is the Trailer Park Boys Christmas Special (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439856/)...and it's not even close.

surprised to see a Muppets Christmas Carol not mentioned. I always liked that one. However, I do believe that Bad Santa is better.

that it wouldn't be too much of a stretch that somebody would mention a movie other than Bad Santa.

[Blarg]

Actually it's stretched so far from the original question it's getting kinda silly.

A Christmas special does not a Christmas movie make. If it does, How the Grinch Stole Christmas wtfPWN!!!'s you all.

[Soul Daddy]

I know, I was just hoping to curb that noise and get back to talking about how fantasticly funny Bad Santa is.

Nothing is funnier than the scene in the car, posted above. But this line always makes me giggle too.

I beat the [censored] out of some kids today, but it was for a purpose. It made me feel good about myself. It was like I did something constructive with my life or something, I dunno, like I accomplished something.

[jaxUp]

I really enjoy his exchanges with the kids in the mall

"You wanna see some magic? Here, let's watch you disappear."

"I don't give a [censored] what you want; blowing snot on everybody."

i thought this was just absolutely hilarious, i can watch it repeatedly, so yes it is

[wayabvpar]

I was not a big fan of Bad Santa- it just seemed like they tried too hard to make Billy Bob a total [censored], and seemed more mean than funny. I did enjoy Lauren Graham quite a bit. Pity she didn't nude up though.

[drewjustdrew]

Bad Santa joins a list of movies taking place at Christmas time that are not Christmas movies. Others include Die Hard and Silent Night, Deadly Night.

Christmas is just an unimportant premise to the story in all of these movies. You could remove it from any of these and not miss a beat.

[Blarg]

Don't agree. The whole premise of their robbery biz is seasonal/Xmas. And "Bad Dude" doesn't have the transgressive fun to it that "Bad Santa" does. Call me sentimental, but there's just something special about a Santa who bangs whores up the pooper.

[Riverman]

"You wanna see a migic trick kid?" [throws kid off his lap] "There, you disappeared"

The girl he bangs in the hot tub is kinda hot too

Considering its the entire premise, I'm just going to assume you've never actually watched Bad Santa.

[jaxUp]

Who sings "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" in this movie? I really enjoy it.

[kipin]

It is a damn good movie, you reminded me of this so when I was out Christmas shopping today I decided to pick it up for myself on DVD.

I'm going to watch it tonight and get into the spirit of Christmas.

[WLVRYN]

F*ck me santa! F*ck me santa! F*ck me santa!

Lauren Graham is hot.

[Clarkmeister]

Bing?

[Jett Rink]

"What is it with you and f**kin sandwiches?"

Also when the midget gets knocked down in the boxing ring and literally bounces always cracks me up.

And lastly Lauren Graham is stunning.

[MaxPower]

Has anybody every figured out why that kid, Thurman, keeps talking about the talking walnut? I don't know what the talking walnut is, but it is hilarious.
