Just because Jolly Old Saint Night has to take on mercenaries holding a wealthy family doesn't mean it doesn't have a chuckle or two.


  • Santa Claus leaving the bar in Bristol, flying off on his sleigh while heavily drunk. The Barmaid reaches the roof, discovers he's the real deal with all the childlike wonder the scene sets... then she is promptly vomited on.
  • While Scrooge's forces are taking the home, they cut off Internet access. Bert, who has just been eagerly messaging on Instagram, stops and complains to Gertrude "Grandma! Your WiFi sucks dick!"
    Gertrude: [turns and gives a Death Glare to Alva] invoked When he was small, I begged you to beat him.
  • Scrooge singing a bit after taking the Lightstones hostage.
    "Violent Night, Gory Night. All is calm, if all... doesn't wanna get shot in the fucking head."
  • Santa's reindeer poop on a roof they stop on, causing Santa to scold them for being unprofessional and complaining that Rudolph would never have done that.
  • Just the general consensus of everyone's reaction to Santa Claus being a mix of understandable incredulity and "Eh, sure, why not?"
    • Scrooge's overall reaction to trying to figure out Santa's identity is that his hench-folks start to believe it is Jolly Old Saint Nick, right after "Gingerbread" ends seeing him teleport out of the house through the chimney.
  • After Trudy actually makes contact with Santa.
    • Santa checks to see if Trudy is on the Nice List, which lists several of her good deeds, including "Invited weird kid to party."
    • They get to the part of him giving coal to those on the Naughty List. Just as he's getting worked up on where he would shove the lumps, Trudy gleefully finishes with "assholes," much to Santa's surprise (and this is before he reveals himself to have been a former Viking raider). He gently admonishes her on trying to stay on the Nice List, so she suggests "buttholes" instead, which he still found borderline. She finally goes with "anus," which is anatomically correct and acceptable enough for him.
  • Some of the kills are Bloody Hilarious as Santa has a Mook Horror Show inside a shack, using nothing but a sledgehammer, a candy cane, ice skates, and finally, a snow blower. Once he exits the shack, Santa kills a Mook by shoving a "lump of coal" into his pants, leaving Santa to turn as he leaves.
    Santa: ...I gotta watch. [the poor Mook then explodes in a gory and VERY fiery fashion] Ho, ho, holy shit!
  • Scrooge threatens the family after discovering the money has been moved, threatening to randomly start firing, threatening to kill them one by one until he gets a confession in a very tense scene. Then....
    Bert: What if you randomly shoot the only person who knows where it [the money] is?
    (Beat)
    Scrooge: (exasperatedly) Oh, fuck you people!
  • Among the mercenaries' more heinous crimes such as "Murder", "Fraud", and "War crimes" is the much more mundane "Microwaved fish in the break room."
  • Morgan's fate is very not nice, but most viewers will chuckle when they see him leap out the window and then book it away from the mansion, tail firmly tucked between his legs. The family's weary reaction to his traitorous behavior is also pretty damn funny.
    Alva: Morgan's going to save us!
    (Morgan immediately runs away)
    Gertrude: Jean-Claude Van Dipshit just ditched us, sweetie.
