[[SantaClaus The holidays' jolly bringer of toys]]. But a bit more jaded and dickish than usual.
----
* AccidentalPervert: He tries to hide from a little girl by going back into the chimney, only to get stuck halfway, and his pants to fall off... while wearing [[GoingCommando no underwear]].
* AdaptationalBadass: This version of Santa isn't afraid to beat or shoot anyone.
* AdaptationalJerkass: ...nor to berate, hit, or kill his own employees, or to sleep with prostitutes, or to just take a gift from the sled to hide the fact that he forgot to make one for his wife.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In "Kill Bunny", where he fights Jesus while on the service of the Easter Bunny. In his own sketches, he qualifies more as a very twisted AntiHero.
* AllJustADream: TheReveal of "One Minute 'Till Midnight". This being Robot Chicken, it means things are actually far ''worse'' for Santa and company than in his dream. [[spoiler:He dreams he has only one minute to deliver all the presents. He's actually choking his wife in his sleep, and being kicked by the Elves to stop.]]
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He's very angry when Superman moves next door, among other things because Mrs. Claus starts placing way too much attention in him.
* AlternateUniverse: In sketches set in the ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer'' universe, his appearance is the one he has in the movie unlike in other sketches. But his personality is very much [[BadBoss the same]].
* AntiHero: Surprisingly, he is almost always on the right side of things... despite being also prone to unleashing disproportionate violence. And he clearly loves his wife and his craft.
* AscendedExtra: One of the most recurring characters, yet his first sketch ("[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Santa's Fall]]") just showed him falling out of a chimney, with no characterization.
* BadassBeard: As befits any BadassSanta.
* BadassSanta: RC Santa is not one to mess with. He helped capture Lex Luthor, fought [[Film/TheBourneIdentity Jason Bourne]], and laid waste to a boardroom worth of Coke executives.
* BadBoss: He often insults and hits his elves and reindeers, and does not care if they are killed. Sometimes, he is the one who has them killed.
* BadSanta: Zig-Zagged, if not subverted. Unlike most examples of the trope, and despite his flaws (he sleeps with prostitutes, and he often hits and kills people), he's still dedicated to bringing toys to the good, and coals to the naughty on Christmas Night, without JackassGenie inclinations.
* BatterUp:
** He kills half the Coca-Cola boardroom with a baseball bat for using his likeness without permission since 1931.
** In another sketch, a parent knocks him out with a bat after confusing him with a home intruder.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: A World War One soldier jokingly wishes Santa to wipe out the opposing enemy trench as his Christmas gift. So Santa comes, and gives him exactly that... right after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce 1914 Christmas Truce]] begins.
* BeingWatched: He knows what everyone does during the year and he's quick to remind people of it.
* BloodIsTheNewBlack: By the time he's done killing Coca-Cola executives, he is trully covered head to toe in red.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: He looks into the camera and addresses the audience in "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas".
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his first speaking role, "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas", he is much more passive and good-natured (brief misogynistic joke aside), and his voice sounds weaker and elderly-like.
* TheCoatsAreOff: He drops his red jacket before attacking the Coca-Cola executives.
* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: He is actually an atheist who believes Christmas is based on consummerism.
* CurbstompBattle: He is unmatched and nearly merciless when beating the executives in "Santa and Coke".
* DeadpanSnarker: Increased with every appearance.
* DeathIsCheap: He dies in one sketch but is resurrected by Jesus.
* DecapitationPresentation: He decapitates Britney Spears and shows her head at the surviving Coke executives when they suggest replacing him with her as their mascot.
* {{Deconstruction}}: "The Robot Chicken Lots of Holidays Special" shows him struggling to decide which children deserve gifts and which coal, and getting shocked by the living conditions of children in extreme poverty. It ends with him asking to be left alone to think in the snow.
* DelusionsOfEloquence: While tripping on drug-laced cookies, he has a [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone epiphany]] and phones his elves to apologize. After a few seconds, the show cuts to [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness reveal]] that he's rambling incoherently.
* {{Determinator}}: He '''will''' deliver the gifts on time. Nothing else matters.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He beats most Coca-Cola executives to death for using his image without permission... since 1931, as he himself claims. In other words, there is no way those exact executives were old enough to be behind his likeness being stolen and in fact, none of them believed he was real until the walked through their door.
* DistressedDude: In "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas", he is introduced after the Composite Santa steals his reindeer, presents, and pants.
* TheDragon: To the Easter Bunny in "Kill Bunny", a ''Film/KillBill'' spoof where he plays the part of O-Ren Ishii.
* GoingCommando: In "Up the Chimney", his pants fall while he is stuck halfway into a chimney, revealing he has no underwear.
* HAHAHANo: In "Santa and Coke", he says his iconic "Ho, Ho, Ho" in a sarcastic fashion.
* HappilyMarried: To Mrs. Claus. She's [[AwfulWeddedLife less enthusiastic]].
* IAteWhat: In a Christmas special, he has a trip after eating marihuana cookies at the Nerd's house.
* IHaveYourWife: A literal example in "Don't forget about terrorism", where terrorists take his wife and some elves hostage to force him to deliver bombs instead of toys.
* ILied: He allows [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer Hermey the Elf]] to return to his job making toys before having him [[YouHaveFailedMe executed]] for leaving it before.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He promised a gingerbread woman nightclub singer to finance her first music album, then hijacked the recording to produce his own rap album with her as [[SexSells cover decoration]].
* MistakenForThief: In "Santa [[ToiletHumor Poops]]", he wakes up a family while he is using their bathroom and is attacked by the father with a bat, who then calls the cops.
* MoreDakka: He has a hidden gun safe with submachine guns in his office, and in one sketch, he was transporting a bazooka for a kid in his sled (but had to use it against NORAD).
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After eating marihuana cookies at the Nerd's house, he realizes how awful he is to his elf workers and calls to apologize.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: The image quote, said sarcastically to the Coca-Cola boardroom.
* RealityEnsues:
** In "NORAD shoots down Santa", the US Airforce shoots him down because he refuses to identify himself and state his cargo.
** In "A Candy Cane", he is gifted a giant candy cane after he breaks his leg. The candy breaks as soon as he tries to walk with it.
* SantaClausmas: His sketches seldom have to do with Christianity. When he dies, he's actually surprised to discover that Jesus and Heaven exist, and [[TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes still insists]] that Christmas is a consumerism-driven sham.
* SantasExistenceClause: Spoofed in "NORAD shoots down Santa" and "Santa and Coke". In both cases, a number of adults who don't believe in Santa Claus discover that he really exists. And in each case, with different horrific consequences (he is killed in the former, killing Christmas in the process; in the latter, Santa kills them for using his image without paying).
* SarcasmFailure: After sex, he thanks a whore for sucking his "candy cane". She answers that she's sucking a lollipop, not a cane.
* SavingChristmas: "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas" is a straight example with Goku and Gohan taking on Santa's enemies after they steal everything from him (and threaten Christmas, implicitly). Averted in "NORAD shoots down Santa", which goes to credits while showing children sad because the military killed Santa Claus and left them without presents.
* SoundtrackDissonance: In "Santa and Coke", he murders half a dozen people while a Christmas carol plays.
* TheStraightMan: To Goku, Superman, the Nerd, and his own reindeer in different sketches.
* StrongerThanTheyLook: As seen in the image. His red jacket hides very muscled arms and he can swing a bat with enought force to pulverize a skull.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Neither elves nor reindeer are particularly bright.
* TeenyWeenie: A (resentful) gingerbread woman he slept with claims that he has a small penis.
* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: His drug-induced prompt to videocall his elves and apologize for treating them horribly. From his point of view, he's delivering a hearfelt apology, but from them, he's just rambling incoherently.
* TookALevelInBadass: Though "Kill Bunny" already showed him double-wielding katanas earlier, his first speaking role, "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas", actually had him as a [[NeutralFemale Neutral]] DistressedDude. Later sketches, on the other hand, have him fighting all sorts of enemies with nearly as much weapons.
* TookALevelInKindness: The second sketch pitching him against Superman subverts expectations by having them become friends.
* UnexplainedRecovery: He is killed in "NORAD shoots down Santa", only to turn up again without explanation. Though in another sketch, he's revived by Jesus after being killed so maybe this also happened the other time.
* WhamLine: Two in "Santa and Coke". First he leaves a executive speechlees by recalling a gift he never brought him. Then he says "I know you are a fucking thief" and everything breaks loose.
* WouldntHitAGirl: Zig-Zagged in "Santa and Coke". He ''destroys'' most male executives while leaving the women untouched, and only kicks one after she breaks a painting on him. But then he pulls out Britney Spears' severed head from his sack. And on a whole different level there is "Santa Royale", a recreation of [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown the first scene]] in ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' but with Santa playing the part of Bond and the other guys being played by a boy and his mother.
* YouHaveFailedMe: He orders Ermey's murder because he dared leave his service to become a dentist.
* YourCheatingHeart: Despite being married, he sleeps with prostitutes and with a gingerbread singer he was promoting at one point.

-->'''Voiced by''': Breckin Meyer
An incredibly stupid reindeer in Santa's sled. Yet also successful.
----
* CrazyEnoughToWork: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zagged]]. He throws himself into a well to rescue a trapped boy, claiming there is no time to wait for rescue services; as a result, he gets stuck in the middle. He suggests then to liberate him by throwing a ''hand grenade'' into the well and then another to get them both out of the well (nevermind that he can fly). The grenade kills a bunch of reindeer and destroys his legs, but succeeds in propelling him to the bottom of the well and the boy considers Comet his savior. Yet the rescue services are the ones who actually take both out of the well.
* CloudCuckooLander[=/=]TheDitz: Of Santa's reindeer, which are not much intelligent themselves.
* LeeroyJenkins: He flies into the well despite Santa's objections, getting stuck. The other reindeer then follow on his advice to liberate him with a grenade, again ignoring Santa.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He doesn't mind losing his legs as he can fly, and doesn't seem to be in pain at all.
* OffModel: Unlike the other reindeer which are more or less naturalistic (even Rudolph), Comet is cartoony and has buck teeth.

* ShoutOut: He offers the boy his piss claiming that they said you can drink it in ''Series/ManVsWild'', and paraphrases the ending line of ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', replacing "wheels" with "legs".

The elf from ''Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer'', who longs to leave Santa's workshop to become a dentist.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde in the original, Brunette in ''Robot Chicken''. Oddly, the sketch features other blonde Elves.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: He is introduced jumping on a gigantic [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti yeti]] and pulling out one of his fangs despite not being a dentist yet.
* GiftedlyBad: He fails and all of his endeavors, forcing him to return and beg Santa for his old job.

-->'''Voiced by''': Creator/SethGreen, Creator/SethMacfarlane
[[SantaClaus The holidays' jolly bringer of toys]]. But a bit more jaded and dickish than usual.
----
* AccidentalPervert: He tries to hide from a little girl by going back into the chimney, only to get stuck halfway, and his pants to fall off... while wearing [[GoingCommando no underwear]].
* AdaptationalBadass: This version of Santa isn't afraid to beat or shoot anyone.
* AdaptationalJerkass: ...nor to berate, hit, or kill his own employees, or to sleep with prostitutes, or to just take a gift from the sled to hide the fact that he forgot to make one for his wife.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In "Kill Bunny", where he fights Jesus while on the service of the Easter Bunny. In his own sketches, he qualifies more as a very twisted AntiHero.
* AllJustADream: TheReveal of "One Minute 'Till Midnight". This being Robot Chicken, it means things are actually far ''worse'' for Santa and company than in his dream. [[spoiler:He dreams he has only one minute to deliver all the presents. He's actually choking his wife in his sleep, and being kicked by the Elves to stop.]]
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He's very angry when Superman moves next door, among other things because Mrs. Claus starts placing way too much attention in him.
* AlternateUniverse: In sketches set in the ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer'' universe, his appearance is the one he has in the movie unlike in other sketches. But his personality is very much [[BadBoss the same]].
* AntiHero: Surprisingly, he is almost always on the right side of things... despite being also prone to unleashing disproportionate violence. And he clearly loves his wife and his craft.
* AscendedExtra: One of the most recurring characters, yet his first sketch ("[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Santa's Fall]]") just showed him falling out of a chimney, with no characterization.
* BadassBeard: As befits any BadassSanta.
* BadassSanta: RC Santa is not one to mess with. He helped capture Lex Luthor, fought [[Film/TheBourneIdentity Jason Bourne]], and laid waste to a boardroom worth of Coke executives.
* BadBoss: He often insults and hits his elves and reindeers, and does not care if they are killed. Sometimes, he is the one who has them killed.
* BadSanta: Zig-Zagged, if not subverted. Unlike most examples of the trope, and despite his flaws (he sleeps with prostitutes, and he often hits and kills people), he's still dedicated to bringing toys to the good, and coals to the naughty on Christmas Night, without JackassGenie inclinations.
* BatterUp:
** He kills half the Coca-Cola boardroom with a baseball bat for using his likeness without permission since 1931.
** In another sketch, a parent knocks him out with a bat after confusing him with a home intruder.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: A World War One soldier jokingly wishes Santa to wipe out the opposing enemy trench as his Christmas gift. So Santa comes, and gives him exactly that... right after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce 1914 Christmas Truce]] begins.
* BeingWatched: He knows what everyone does during the year and he's quick to remind people of it.
* BloodIsTheNewBlack: By the time he's done killing Coca-Cola executives, he is trully covered head to toe in red.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: He looks into the camera and addresses the audience in "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas".
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his first speaking role, "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas", he is much more passive and good-natured (brief misogynistic joke aside), and his voice sounds weaker and elderly-like.
* TheCoatsAreOff: He drops his red jacket before attacking the Coca-Cola executives.
* TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: He is actually an atheist who believes Christmas is based on consummerism.
* CurbstompBattle: He is unmatched and nearly merciless when beating the executives in "Santa and Coke".
* DeadpanSnarker: Increased with every appearance.
* DeathIsCheap: He dies in one sketch but is resurrected by Jesus.
* DecapitationPresentation: He decapitates Britney Spears and shows her head at the surviving Coke executives when they suggest replacing him with her as their mascot.
* {{Deconstruction}}: "The Robot Chicken Lots of Holidays Special" shows him struggling to decide which children deserve gifts and which coal, and getting shocked by the living conditions of children in extreme poverty. It ends with him asking to be left alone to think in the snow.
* DelusionsOfEloquence: While tripping on drug-laced cookies, he has a [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone epiphany]] and phones his elves to apologize. After a few seconds, the show cuts to [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness reveal]] that he's rambling incoherently.
* {{Determinator}}: He '''will''' deliver the gifts on time. Nothing else matters.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He beats most Coca-Cola executives to death for using his image without permission... since 1931, as he himself claims. In other words, there is no way those exact executives were old enough to be behind his likeness being stolen and in fact, none of them believed he was real until the walked through their door.
* DistressedDude: In "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas", he is introduced after the Composite Santa steals his reindeer, presents, and pants.
* TheDragon: To the Easter Bunny in "Kill Bunny", a ''Film/KillBill'' spoof where he plays the part of O-Ren Ishii.
* GoingCommando: In "Up the Chimney", his pants fall while he is stuck halfway into a chimney, revealing he has no underwear.
* HAHAHANo: In "Santa and Coke", he says his iconic "Ho, Ho, Ho" in a sarcastic fashion.
* HappilyMarried: To Mrs. Claus. She's [[AwfulWeddedLife less enthusiastic]].
* IAteWhat: In a Christmas special, he has a trip after eating marihuana cookies at the Nerd's house.
* IHaveYourWife: A literal example in "Don't forget about terrorism", where terrorists take his wife and some elves hostage to force him to deliver bombs instead of toys.
* ILied: He allows [[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer Hermey the Elf]] to return to his job making toys before having him [[YouHaveFailedMe executed]] for leaving it before.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He promised a gingerbread woman nightclub singer to finance her first music album, then hijacked the recording to produce his own rap album with her as [[SexSells cover decoration]].
* MistakenForThief: In "Santa [[ToiletHumor Poops]]", he wakes up a family while he is using their bathroom and is attacked by the father with a bat, who then calls the cops.
* MoreDakka: He has a hidden gun safe with submachine guns in his office, and in one sketch, he was transporting a bazooka for a kid in his sled (but had to use it against NORAD).
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After eating marihuana cookies at the Nerd's house, he realizes how awful he is to his elf workers and calls to apologize.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: The image quote, said sarcastically to the Coca-Cola boardroom.
* RealityEnsues:
** In "NORAD shoots down Santa", the US Airforce shoots him down because he refuses to identify himself and state his cargo.
** In "A Candy Cane", he is gifted a giant candy cane after he breaks his leg. The candy breaks as soon as he tries to walk with it.
* SantaClausmas: His sketches seldom have to do with Christianity. When he dies, he's actually surprised to discover that Jesus and Heaven exist, and [[TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes still insists]] that Christmas is a consumerism-driven sham.
* SantasExistenceClause: Spoofed in "NORAD shoots down Santa" and "Santa and Coke". In both cases, a number of adults who don't believe in Santa Claus discover that he really exists. And in each case, with different horrific consequences (he is killed in the former, killing Christmas in the process; in the latter, Santa kills them for using his image without paying).
* SarcasmFailure: After sex, he thanks a whore for sucking his "candy cane". She answers that she's sucking a lollipop, not a cane.
* SavingChristmas: "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas" is a straight example with Goku and Gohan taking on Santa's enemies after they steal everything from him (and threaten Christmas, implicitly). Averted in "NORAD shoots down Santa", which goes to credits while showing children sad because the military killed Santa Claus and left them without presents.
* SoundtrackDissonance: In "Santa and Coke", he murders half a dozen people while a Christmas carol plays.
* TheStraightMan: To Goku, Superman, the Nerd, and his own reindeer in different sketches.
* StrongerThanTheyLook: As seen in the image. His red jacket hides very muscled arms and he can swing a bat with enought force to pulverize a skull.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Neither elves nor reindeer are particularly bright.
* TeenyWeenie: A (resentful) gingerbread woman he slept with claims that he has a small penis.
* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: His drug-induced prompt to videocall his elves and apologize for treating them horribly. From his point of view, he's delivering a hearfelt apology, but from them, he's just rambling incoherently.
* TookALevelInBadass: Though "Kill Bunny" already showed him double-wielding katanas earlier, his first speaking role, "A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas", actually had him as a [[NeutralFemale Neutral]] DistressedDude. Later sketches, on the other hand, have him fighting all sorts of enemies with nearly as much weapons.
* TookALevelInKindness: The second sketch pitching him against Superman subverts expectations by having them become friends.
* UnexplainedRecovery: He is killed in "NORAD shoots down Santa", only to turn up again without explanation. Though in another sketch, he's revived by Jesus after being killed so maybe this also happened the other time.
* WhamLine: Two in "Santa and Coke". First he leaves a executive speechlees by recalling a gift he never brought him. Then he says "I know you are a fucking thief" and everything breaks loose.
* WouldntHitAGirl: Zig-Zagged in "Santa and Coke". He ''destroys'' most male executives while leaving the women untouched, and only kicks one after she breaks a painting on him. But then he pulls out Britney Spears' severed head from his sack. And on a whole different level there is "Santa Royale", a recreation of [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown the first scene]] in ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' but with Santa playing the part of Bond and the other guys being played by a boy and his mother.
* YouHaveFailedMe: He orders Ermey's murder because he dared leave his service to become a dentist.
* YourCheatingHeart: Despite being married, he sleeps with prostitutes and with a gingerbread singer he was promoting at one point.
