    Here's a question... "Is Santa the bad guy?" In all the media we see, he is working those elves to the bone. Sometimes, those elves are even depicted as CHILDREN! What kind of workshop of horrors is he running? It's time to bring back our OSHA checklist and see if he's up to code.

      With how much noise he made, it's also very possible that this was suicide. Either so depressed he didn't care anymore and didn't try to hide so someone would end it, or going "Yeah this scrooge would annoy Bernard, I'll make sure he notices me."

      @@IceMetalPunk That's why parents back in the day would have house rules like "keep your elbows off the table" or "don't/do wear shoes inside." So you see if the Fae ever break one of these rules you can make their contract void by saying "This is my house my rules" which parents say almost all the time, so you see if the Fae follow even the smallest rules they would have to recognize the authority the parent has over the house/household so by that logic any contracts a Fae makes in a house would have to abide by the authority of the parent/whoever came up with the house rules...so by that logic the parent could say that any contracts the Fae has is unacknowledged in the house/household therefore making the contract void in the house......... theoretically.

    Ok a lot of people are like "bUt sAnTa dOeSn'T exist!!1!1," yeah, I get it, I said "Santa *would* only have 12 hours" instead of "Santa only has 12 hours" because santa isn't real, I didn't think you all would try to be smartasses about it

  • @Blasted2Oblivion
    @Blasted2Oblivion Před 2 lety +2613

    There are roughly 10 years between the first and second movies. This means, that Santa has about 10 years to get married. Why the elves warned him with 28 days left, I don't know but that is another issue. If Santa really does have such a high turnover rate, it could be that the previous Santa dies within those 10 years and hadn't got married yet.

      I thought these were horror movies just covered in sugar when I was a teen. Dude accidentally kills santa, forced to become santa, loses connection with his family and friends, and he had to make someone go through almost the same thing just so she can be his wife. To top it all off, he has to pretend he's enjoying it so he doesn't become super depressed (which we all know how that would go).

    Okay, so MatPat didn't completely ruin my childhood(cause this was/is one of my favorite Christmas movies) but he gave it a solid beating. I'll admit, watching these movies as an adult, I had started to question how wholesome this series was. I mean, accident or not, Scott did cause the death of Santa, none of the elves seemed at all, bothered that the old Santa was gone, where was the old Mrs. Clause? And, now, I'm questioning why any new Santa has to completely give up their previous life. The elves make the toys, care for the reindeer, keep up the sleigh, etc. They've been doing this for years(centuries even). The only thing they can't(or won't) do, is deliver the toys to all the children around the world. The Santa does that. That's one night around the world. So, 24 hours. Why does he have to stay at the North Pole for the rest of the year? I mean, even if they need to have him come in before Christmas for his suit fitting, how early does that need to be? Early or Mid-November? What reason, other than to have complete control over him, is there for demanding that Santa BE Santa 24/7?
    I wouldn't be thinking of these things if it weren't for you, MatPat!!

    Assuming "Santa" has been operating like this since the 4th century, and that there have in fact been more than 50 of them before this current Santa, that means the average operational lifespan of any one Santa is less than 33 years! Given that the Elves are practically immortal, no wonder they're not particularly attached to any one Santa!

      My theory on that is that Mrs. Claus disappears the moment Santa Claus does, so the elves had warning that Santa had died several hours before Scott arrived. Their indifference about it implies to me that they didn't like the old Santa much.

    • @bensimpkins6581

      i think as kids we just assume "the elves are magical as well as having a lot of technology" so they probably know/sense the old santa has died and that theres a newbie coming. so while Scott is finishing Santa's delivers the elves are dealing with the loss of the previous santa.

      Santa literally is arrested in the Santa Clause 1. In fact, he is busted out of jail by a team of elves (Effective Liberating Flight Squad, or E.L.F.S.). Given that a team of elves dedicated to Santa rescue is nessary, I'm guessing Santa's been arrested before.

    3 things:
    1. The existence of “The Escape Clause” invalidates the contract argument since, being fully aware of the contract, Scott can (and accidentally does) nullify the contract.
    2. My theory on why the elves are not upset with Fallen Santa’s death is that the previous Santa married an Elf as his Mrs. Claus!!! That elf returns to normal life afterwards and no one is upset with it. This is why Judy saids, “Thanks, but I’m seeing someone in wrapping.”, she KNOWS about the Mrs. Clause and is stopping what she expects is Scott trying to fulfill it BECAUSE THATS WHAT THE LAST SANTA DID!!!
    3. Also, it seems that the “Mrs. Clause” is much more lenient on the time crunch, giving around 10 years for Santa to get married. Which isn’t a problem until you have forgotten about it for 9 years and 11 months.

      The actual math for that would be extremely interesting because you have to keep in mind that in quite a few countries, there may not even be those that celebrate Christmas. Which would mean that not only can you skip houses, but you possibly skip out on ENTIRE COUNTRIES. Remember, Christmas is celebrated with relation to Christianity, which means even those that celebrate Christmas as a family gathering holiday and aren't actually Christian, wouldn't receive presents from Santa anyway.

    Random theory: how strong is Mr Crocker from fairly odd parents? When he crazily screams “FaIrY gOd PaReNtS” he seemingly teleports, and in one episode, leaves a long arm shaped dent in a locker, how many newtons does he generate? Could he punch through a door, or a human if screaming near one?

      @@throwaway5886 MatPat's video inspired me to write a story where Santa and Mrs. Claus are forced into their positions by evil elves and they finally decide to fight back so they can go back to their families and lives. It's a bloodbath.

    8:17 || As a Dutch person, that's quite a topic that you can argue with.
    That 'Santa Claus' you see, is actually Sinterklaas. Sinterklaas was originally created in The Netherlands to make little children listen to their parents. If those kids didn't listen, he would put you in his sack and take you to Spain, nothing else.
    Nowadays it did change, sort of. If you are a well-behaved kid, he will grant you gifts, but if you haven't been a good kid, there's a possibility Sinterklaas will take you to Spain with him, only for you to never return to your home for another forty years (that's at least what your parents make you believe, and trust me, from my experiences it's absolutely terrifying).
    But back to Matpad's question, I personally believe his heartbeat would sound like the song 'Zie ginds komt de Stoomboot.'
