Better watch out, better not carry too much cash, I’m telling you why: Santa Claus is strapped financially, too, this year, and he’s on a mugging spree. That’s David “Champ” Koechner as the bad Santa and Jessica Biel in the sexy elf (or is it a Mrs. Claus?) costume in this new FunnyorDie exclusive. But Santa doesn’t need currency, you say. He’s magic! Perhaps, but this holiday, people are likely referencing the Kinks’ song “Father Christmas” and asking him for money rather than “silly toys.”
Interestingly enough, I saw in The Hollywood Reporter today that FunnyorDie actually just received a whole lot of money for Christmas (or Hannukah, or whatever it celebrates). That means we can look forward to a new year filled with plenty more comedy shorts, whether they be as brilliant as the Prop 8 musical or as uninspired as today’s clip (which is mostly only good to Biel’s fans). I guess it’s a given that humor prevails in bad times, but it’s also telling for our future that while many longtime industries are in need of bailouts that online video sites are netting secret investments.
