Nah im G
Ok
BRO SERIOUSLY I GOTTA GO
ok
WOAH!
i just can’t get over how santa claus’s solution to handling the elf strike is to literally kidnap children and force them into child labor as scabs
A Libertarian Christmas
What do you mean, bad? This is the most marvelous film I’ve ever seen
It’s even crazier he uses a weaponised teleporting gun with a targeting system to kidnap these teenagers, which Santa just has for some reason
@@zoruamaster2495 Yeah, what other use does Santa possibly have for owning this teleporting gun that abducts people? It'd be one thing if it was a teleporter that sends things from Santa's child labor camp to other places so he can deliver presents.
Also, why are the elves so willing to help Santa control his child slave scabs, when they're the ones striking in the first place? If the child slaves are worthless and fail to get any work done, the quicker Santa has to agree to the elves demands.
And I love the fact that it literally never occurs to the enslaved children to just refuse to do any of the work. It's not like they're being threatened with starvation or physical torture if they don't comply. Even worse, he entrusted these kids to be in charge of the naughty or nice list? My first instinct would be to agree with all the other kids to just judge everyone as naughty to fuck over christmas, or judge everyone as nice to increase the workload on Santa's workshop, or purposefully create a 3:3 deadlock in all cases, stopping any judgement from being made and wasting time.
Every bad Christmas movie is either “enjoyably kitschy” or “psychological horror if you have your brain turned on” with no in between
genuinely, some of these movies are so morally backwards it's hard to watch sometimes
I like how Santa saying “I gave you vision and dental last year” is subtly implying that, after over a thousand years of work, the elves only got dental coverage a year ago
He's the Mr. burns of Christmas
My theory is this movies was written around 5-10 year old kids, but then they realized filming with little kids is really difficult, so they just changed it to teenagers but didn’t want to rewrite the script
I would believe that if most of the elves weren’t 10 year olds
@@JasminMiettunen and those elves did a way better job than the teens
@@HercadosP That was genuinely surprising to see lmao
I think you’re on to something
Yeah, like why are all these teens so excited to see Santa? It’s so odd
What if all these bad movies are somehow interconnected and Eric Roberts is at the front of it all
This is like The producers, but the movie actually releases
@aszassiin 🅥 translated it. 😁
@aszassiin 🅥 aszbotin
The Eric Roberts cinematic universe 😦
@aszassiin 🅥 i wanted to die anyways so this better be real
the dumb sibling banter is relatable. there's nothing like calling your brother a "son of a bitch" before remembering that you're the daughter of one
It's like when my mother made "your mom" jokes to her children
The most grounded and realistic Christmas movie. CEOs really are just like that, and will do deeply unethical shit to avoid giving their workers basic work amenities/fair compensation, act like the victim, then fire everyone and wipe their hands of everything to go on a lavish vacation with zero remorse for the thousands of lives they’ve ruined.
I love this comment, because yeah. Unfortunately, it’s true. 😔
I… think they included Willy Wonka in the synopsis not because of the cookies but because of the whole “man forces species of weirdly dressed, small humanoids to work for him” thing but that’s just me
Also, the cookies remind me of the treats from the Christmas Chronicles. They had all the nutritional value of a daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
I was thinking that it’s a grown man with a bunch of comically awful children
But in Willy wonka they willing worked?
I like the pure anger in Ted's voice when he says "That's Cedric, he's a know-it-all bastard"
And the anger in Cedric's voice when he says "I am a GOOD child"
This movie really reminds me of the time that I was watching “The Santa Clause” staring Tim Allen only it wasn’t Tim Allen it was Ted Nivison from the Ted Nivison CZcams channel and he crawled through my TV screen and pulled off his Santa suit and revealed a metal baseball bat and beat my family to death and me near death and said “now that’s a hit and run” and ran back into “The Santa Claus” staring Tim Allen and left me to bleed out. Thanks Ted!
What the fuck did I just read
This is so fucking dystopian
@@detectiveplutomindpretzel5626 the average Ted Nevison experience
He's such a Chad, that one...
the bot comment on this honestly makes it better
As a Jewish kid that grew up hearing about how Santa delivered to every kid on Earth, I would've loved the elves to start giving out gifts to other religions just for the spirit of giving... but these elves almost seem to want to erase the other religions by making them fully commit to their version of Christmas, so uh... nah, I'm good, thanks. Happy Holidays everyone!
Thank god someone else noticed that they weren't really wanting to just give gifts
Tbf it's historically accurate depiction of Santa's helpers. It's the man who would fight with fists against blasphemers (fellow Christians who believed in a slightly different version of Jesus)
Merry Christmas
The fact that the idea "Elves go on strike due to bratty kids and kids start working as elves" was done by a famous sketch comedy group 2 years before this movie makes it even better
Really? Which one?
@@PlayerTenji95 It's called "Santa's Elves Go On Strike" by Studio C
You’re so right
Cedric was cold af.... what a character
ok but like i don't blame him. if someone wanted to act like they were better than me and I found out they cheated for the ENTIRE semester, I would snitch too
@@cursed-cat9126 yeah, same
Cedric from Harry Potter was also cold…
Dude turned into the joker.
@@cursed-cat9126The point is that she didn't act like she was better than him, he just used that as an excuse. Also, she trusted him to confide in
Union-busting Santa brings forced scabs in when his elves strike. 10/10 film.
Pinkertons, eat your heart out
forced child* scabs
About half way through and I'm starting to wonder if this is actually a horror movie. When Santa says, "you guys just don't seem to get it." He immediately starts to sound like he's going to hurt the children if they don't work.
Santa sending them back in time proves that Santa is a 4th dimensional being. Which is how he delivers presents on time in one night, because he can be at multiple points in space and time
I guess you could say he's "omnipresent" 🤣
@@NicholasGresik omnipresent to bring more presents
Ted has the most dad energy ever
WTF- WHAT… thank you for so many likes!!!
mmmm idk more uncle
@aszassiin 🅥 everyone dies tho? So is that really a threat?
Yeah right
Definitely a DILF
I like your pfp
My two favourite things - Christmas, and enslavement!
And fortnite
makes me think of that Christmas movie where Tom Kenny's character sings a song about how slavery is good
@@beywheelzhater8930 😰no don’t 😨😨😰
@@beywheelzhater8930 all my translations lead to small, tiny, little, miniature, nanoscopic and similar words.
With a slight drizzle of antisemitism!
My head canon for this movie is that now the elves have realized that they can actually do all the work of making toys without Santa so they overthrow him, seizing the means of production and forming a worker-managed cooperative
santa with a beach style outfit is literally how santa is advetised in australia (at least where i live) so i find it funny that its supposed to have that sort of vibe of "wow santa isnt in his normal suit" but for me its like "oh yo its real santa!"
ted is the type of guy to see a bad christmas movie and ask "is anybody gonna watch that?" and not wait for an answer
@aszassiin 🅥 why is odia the language chosen for this curse upon the youtube comments
@aszassiin 🅥 don’t translate
Cállate
@@rainbowtroutin plus the random ぬ (“nu”)… which can be used like “end” I think but why after a bunch of other language text?
This video reminds me of the time when I went outside on Christmas Eve and saw a magical flying sleigh land in front of me. From the sleigh, Ted emerged in a red and white cloak. I freaked out and said “hi,” and Ted picked up a large sack filled with rocks. He beat me with it for over thirty minutes until I was bleeding out in the snow. That was the best day of my life! Thanks Ted!😊
Edit: wow this comment popped off. TY you all and happy holidays.
Damn if that was the best day, I'm sorry man
This reminds me of one time when Ted came to my house while Tim Allen as "The Santa Clause" was on my roof. After Ted screamed at him, Tim Allen fell on the ground yelling and shouting and he looked like he was in serious pain, this pain may have been caused by Ted pelting him with rocks.

"If hypixel thought me anything is that if you have a problem the answer is SLAVERY"

I’m so happy that Ted has started posting regularly again, his videos are honestly something I look forward too a lot and they always brighten my day!
Sorry I then took a two month break lol
@@TedNivison lol you’re good! I’ve been binging chuckle sandwich 😂
Bro you jinxed it
Every time Ted uploads a movie review I feel like it’s my divorced dads weekend with me and he only has a TV from 1996 because mom took the furniture in the divorce so we’re forced to watch old DVDs he buys from thrift stores in a desperate attempt to connect
That shounds a little specific, hmm
How was he buying OLD DVDs in 1996 when DVDs weren't available in the US until 1997, and globally weren't commercially available until very late 1996? What thrift stores had old DVDs in them in 1996??
@@FrenkTheJoy the TV was from 1996, not the time period
So it makes you sad or happy?
@@FrenkTheJoy after the divorce he brought the TV out from his storage unit and then bought a bunch of DVDs at thrift stores along with mistmached plates and utensils
Ted looks legitimately so exited to get sponsored by epic games and I’m so happy for him.
I remember getting dinner with a friend of mine and running into Ted outside of the restaurant. He started speaking in tongues and the wind started blowing at 75 miles an hour, knocking me off of my feet and slamming my head into the sidewalk before he took off into the air and disappeared. What a precious memory. We stan a powerful bilingual man
my favorite part of nearly every christmas movie set at the north pole is the elf labor rights disputes that are just glossed over like it's a funny bit. It always feels so weirdly out of pocket
It’s crazy that this is a plot point in at least more than one movie.
@@PlayerTenji95 …and the Neptunian elves from Futurama.
I actually met Ted Milkmanison a couple days ago. He forced me to drink his whole cooler of milk, made me repeat the factually true history of pizza, and forced me to watch Joshua and the Promised land. Truly one of the moments of all time from Ted.
@aszassiin 🅥 May your soup always be cold, may your socks forever be wet, may your heart always ache, and your cocoa always be cold until you come to care for others.
It was indeed a moment
That naughty and nice scene is absolutely incredible cinema
@aszassiin 🅥 so you can't subscribe to your own channel does that mean you are also cursed to die?
I think Cacie’s naughty or nice scene is a reference to Black Swan which is an….. odd choice for a children’s movie
I do love that the elf bounty hunter badass is literally 9 years old. I hope that kid had a really good time while filming this movie
I finally met Ted!
I was at the movie theater when I went to say "hi!" He then proceeded to kick me in the face, drag me up the the projector room, throw me at the projector (therefore breaking it) bring me back down and tell everyone I broke the projector. The people in the theater then decided to beat the crap out of me along with Ted, breaking my spine with his gardening tools.
Overall a great time and I'm glad I finally met my hero!
17:58 you know. That’s actually something that can happen.
One of my ballet teachers in who danced for a company in Brazil said that there were girls that would put thumbtacks or razors in other girls pointe shoes.
😬
Yeah at my old company a girl got kicked out for putting broken needles into another girls pointe shoe. Luckily she noticed before putting it on
@@novemberblake9505 it’s crazy
Just got to meet Ted last Saturday. It was so nice to see him whilst he seemed as if he was running away in desperation. The fear he had whilst he said "Santa is coming to town," was extremely memorable. Thanks for letting me meet you Ted. 😊
Ted is what I imagine most Percy Jackson kids to be like when they grow up. The way he things by using Riordanverse references is proof of the influence of our leader Uncle Rick.
ted nivison making a percy jackson reference is all i've ever needed in my life
If you like Eric Roberts nailing a perfectly insane version of the holidays, I think you'll love So This Is Christmas... (I may have played the drug dealer)
And the father of Emma roberts. Imagine the Illuminati party that family gets invited to….a man can only wish
12:18 the “ooh my cranium” is absolutely iconic I can’t believe Ted didn’t talk about it lol
Cedric seems like the type of kid who, when a friend tell tells him that they are gay, and not to tell their Christian parents, he does anyway.
This man sat through Joshua in the Promised Land. Anything he thinks is a terrible movie will be comedy gold.
7:45 Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy did the “Santa revealed to be a fraud” joke much more hilariously and violently than this movie did. At least they went all the way with the people burning the mall down after Santa (Skarr) got beat up.
Glad to know I can report bot/spam comments endlessly and they NEVER get deleted, but I curse out the bot/spammer using less than favorable wording and CZcams IMMEDIATELY deletes my comment…
Thank you, CZcams, really doing your job…
19:04
I also threaten to call my best friends parents all the time.
U are a bad person 😂
9:00 I don't think they're being teleported. I think they're being gunned down, and santa just turned on the violence filter.
only a minute in and i'm already confused
The magic of (bad) Christmas (movies)
@@aszassiin shut up
this movie reminds me of the time I met Ted in person! he knocked me over the head with a baseball hat and took me to his house where he forced me to (unsuccessfully) edit a video for him! after I failed completing his task, he dumped me into the arctic ocean where I was thankfully rescued by a polar bear family and they brought me back home. thanks Ted for this lovely chance to learn more about polar bear culture, such an enlightening experience!
Yo Ted, just want you to know Eric Roberts is Julia Roberts' brother. He was also in The Killers' Mr. Brightside music video. Weird guy
He was also in a series of Lifetime movies as a major creeper hahaha
i’m five months late but i love the killers and i just found out new lore. thank you for this
Ted talks like he decides mid sentence what his pronunciation should be
This fantastic video reminds me of the time I was shopping for Christmas decor at an outlet mall. Strangely, when I looked at the Christmas lights that were around in the mall I noticed that there was a shadow next to one of the lights where there should have been light. Upon closer inspection it was Ted, who emerged from the shadows screeching! He then proceeded to grab my neck and snap it in two while maniacally laughing; it was only later that I realized his eyes were completely black! Classic Ted, always love it when he gets up to his antics! 🥰
I wonder if the script was made to be played by little kids or preteens, but the casting department didn't understand and didn't change the script
23:01 i bit down on something hard and heard a loud crack from the right side of my mouth while eating and watching this part of the video, thanks ted!
I have no idea who this man is, I went down a rabbit hole and was recommended this. But his voice feels like a warm embrace. Truly fortunate that the rabbit has led me to the right place
To me this seems like a movie that was mostly held back by budget, because this story sounds genuinely entertaining and like a fun twist on most Christmas movies
7:15 I think this kid sounds a bit too much like Jason Lee (who played Syndrome from The Incredibles)
Whoever the actor for Diva is did not get paid enough she was chewing the scenery like a hero.
10:00 Never be a scab. These kids should have banned together to escape in solidarity with the elf strike.
Kurtis and Ted both uploading Christmas related videos today feels like Christmas came early 🥰
I both can and can’t imagine Ted Nivison as a father. he certainly looks like he’d fit the part but then he would drop a baby
such a wholesome movie about jeff bezos dressing up as santa enslaving little children 🥰
Alright Ted, it’s been a month. Where you at
Edit: Ted it's now two months...
Wow, I can't believe Ted got sponsored by Fortnite! He's come a long way since that time I was playing Fortnite on my Nintendo Switch, when Ted came up to me, pinned me against the wall and ripped out my bladder, before saying "thanks for the Chug Jug kid." It was so epic to meet Ted in person!
Who knew there were many Christmas movies that deal with kidnapping. First Holiday in Handcuffs and now Santa’s Boot Camp.
*I wonder if there any more movies like this.
This “bad movie” series is quality content that should never stop
My mom and I accidentally started this movie thinking it was the new Hallmark movie with the same name. It was so bad that we stopped watching around the time the elves decided to go on strike. The Hallmark movie was also bad, but not this bad.
I’m glad you reviewed it! I was curious about the plot but couldn’t stand to watch it myself
I remember when I met Ted at a meet & greet.
I walked up to him and said hello, he proceeded to tear both of my legs off and rip out my vocal chords.
Ha! Classic Ted!
All I want for Christmas is Ted to finally release my family
please Ted it’s been 6 years
5:20 "They speak monkey" idk why but I love that line
I just flew into LA, and I was greeted with so much smog. I saw a little man next to the Hollywood sign, and when I drove up there to investigate I saw TED NIVISON, pumping all the smog into LA with a smog machine
I never would have guessed in a million years that Ted would be sponsored by Fortnite, but here we are
I'm in reporatory theater in high school and the entire plot and pacing of this movie feels exactly like the christmas play we wrote this year. We even had the major plot point of elves going on strike
The beginning is like they needed teenagers for Santa to kidnap but they couldn’t think of another way for him to find rude teens so they just put them all in the mall, despite the fact that most teenagers would not go to see Santa
The elves should unionize, terrible pay, conditions and impossible deadlines is too much
Obsessed with your zip-up in the ad btw, that shit look cozy af man.. where at?? lmaooooo
I got it at Target like last week in the mens section
Jeff from Stranger Things is just Cedric all grown up and mellowed out into a different kind of nerd.
This reminds me of last Christmas when my Grandma went outside to get the cake she made from her car. Ted appeared riding a reindeer and ran over her whilst playing grandma got ran over by a reindeer. He played the song on a 10 hour loop and continued to ride the reindeer back and forth over my grandmas broken body during the 10 hours. Thanks Ted😁.
At 2:47 it 100% looks like they just poorly green screened the family into a mall. 💀
ted has the perfect "christmas storytelling" narrator voice
9:54 subtitles "sad ass kidnapped kids" 😂😂
I saw Ted in the woods today leaning over a rotting corpse, I approached him and he said "quiet boy, The echoes of his flesh still scream" and we sat in silence for 30 minutes. It was quite cool.
Just finished watching the new Chuckle Sandwich episode and then immediately see a new Ted upload :D
If this situation somehow happened IRL, I would be terrified of anything involving christmas.
Keep up the good work Ted!
Bad Halloween movies, bad Christmas movies, Ted! Where are the bad thanksgiving movies!
So... I worked on this movie. 😀That is, I shot the behind-the-scenes videos and interviews that end up on the dvd special features. Here's a little unasked-for backstory. The director (Ken Feinberg) has an actors studio in Atlanta, Georgia. In previous years, the final project for the students was to make a bunch of short films so they could have footage for their acting reels. Then one year they decided to put in the effort to have a feature-length film. The main six kids and the main elves had been in the program the longest. The elves were written to be played by younger kids so that all the students could have parts. A lot of scenes were shot at Stone Mountain Park in Georgia because it was already decked out for the holiday. And yeah, it's not taking place in the North Pole because it was shot in Georgia, where it hardly ever snows (we did get light flurries one night of shooting, and the kids were so excited to see "snow"). Some of the scenes where the kids were voting on the naughty/nice kids were taken from other short films done at the actor's studio, which is why the kid playing the elf was re-used.
Ted referencing Percy Jackson made me so happy for no reason
I absolutely love all of Ted's movie reviews, and I am doubly glad I don't have to watch these movies myself
I thought kidnapping children was Krampus’s job lmao
I’ve loved the recent string of bad movie reviews. I would love to see you cover some of the bizzare Steven King movies, I’m thinking “Thinner,” or “The Langoliers.” They are absolutely wild movies
“Willy Wonka meets The Breakfast Club at Christmas” now THATS a movie I wanna see
Ted's deep voice sounds like what your friends sound like when they try to talk after huffing nitrous. Or like what other people sound like when you've been huffing nitrous
As someone who got kidnapped by Santa last year, I can tell you that this movie is 101% accurate.
8:44 she had to look at the script that had me crying 😂
A burst of euphoria rushes through me every time i see ted post a movie review video🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully this video can make me forget about the horrendous things Ted Nivison did to me at exactly 11:57 P.M. EST in the Columbus Indiana park!!! Can't wait to watch this ❤️❤️❤️
lol I get that they had to cast older kids because it's kinda impossible to hire little kids and then continue to pretend that Santa exists, but its still pretty funny lol.
Me personally, I learnt santa doesn't exist fairly early because I saw a receipt in the bin that was literally what I asked for, I was like 7 but wasn't that bummed since the fact that there even is doubt of his existence was enough for me to pretty much figure out he didn't exist way before that incident. Second I knew that, tooth fairy was also a no brainer.
Shout out to my parents for making me say to the mall Santa "or if __ is too hard, I want ___", and then just got me the first one I asked for. Hyped up that present so well.
this is the first time in a months that I’ve heard my name in other media and this is what I get 21:59 ☠️☠️
Dang.
I watched call me Kevin review this same movie, and I loved to see the difference between the two. Mainly, Ted just seems to be a little less confused.
jeez bro at 9:31 johnny was fighting his demons
I remember along time ago. My cousin and i had a fight over if santa was real or not. I think back to my uncle who sided with me cause he would repeat "there was and is a man in the world named santa claus" he purely did it to rile her up but it made me happy to have someone on my side for once as a kid.
Man Johnny, 14:58 was my favorite part of this video
