Why are they trying to gaslight is into thinking this is a Christmas classic? It was totally forgotten about for years and left 0 cultural impact.

You sit on a throne of lies.
i dated a girl who watched this at least once a week
and you let her go?
Nah I still see this elf shit on products around Christmas season and people watch it every year
It might be one of the last films to have any cultural impact (even if you happen to dislike it)
Nah, man, whether or not you like the movie, tons of people like it and put it on every year.
Plus, there are lots of dumb people who can't get into old movies, and when it comes to modern Christmas films, there aren't many that are even watchable, so they keep going back to Elf and Bad Santa.
>GAY PEOPLE TOMORROW MORNING
People love this movie but I never understood why. The second half and ending is really bad. The movie wears itself out by the time he is in the toy store.
I’d give it maybe a 4/10. But you’re right it’s a forced classic
Honestly it's the reverse for me. I wasn't enjoying it at all until he got to the toy store and it became kino after that. The best part was when the dad absolutely loses his shit at buddy which people say is too much but honestly it's pretty justified. My dad and I used to love to quote that scene to on a daily basis. Sometimes even in public.
It is justified, but the moral of the story is if you want to have a loving family, you have to forgive them for their frick ups once and a while.
The redemption of the father character is paramount, much more important to the plot than Buddy getting a girlfriend or finding acceptance.
it's old enough that morons who liked it can feel nostalgic about it
It was definitely forced but so is every Christmas classic. If people liked it and a tv channel spent too much money on it then they'll show it 10 times a day when the holidays come around so that more people watch it. As a kid this was the number one Christmas movie I remember being spammed. Polar Express mogged it though and A Christmas Story still clears both.
'christmas' as we know it is primarily what boomers grew up with and imitated.
>Last Christmas isn't listed
Shite list.
i hate that fricking song
>this year i'll save on tears and give it to someone special
peak fembrain. either the dumb b***h is 'giving her heart' to someone who ISN'T special last christmas, or she's deluding herself into thinking every failed relationship is due to the man revealing himself not to be special and it has NOTHING to do with her.
hate the lyrics. catchy christmas-like sound though i will admit
Now this anon was clearly bitten one but is twice shy
the song was about a dude. a gay one, though so you're more or less on the mark
Gay dudes are nothing like women, even if they larp as them.
For me it's "Do They Know It's Christmas Time At All" by a bunch of rich br*tish gays
That melody is so fricking good. I couldn't stop listening to that as a kid.
>A face on a lover with a fire in his heart I gave you my heart
>A man under cover, but you tore him apart
>Maybe next year I'll give it to someone...
>I'll give it to someone special...
This does not invoke the Christmas spirit in me.
As it should. It's the peak of tradition as far as holidays go. I'm sure a recent version of that chart would have a lot more modern shit though. All I Want for Christmas is You has hit ear bleeding status and Kelly Clarkson gets played a lot now too. In stores they play frickin Sia though Ive never heard her outside of that. It's not really modern but Last Christmas by Wham is up there too.
Where is "All I Want For Christmas Is You?"
Doesn't fit into the cherry picked data set they chose.
>reddit liberal caring about female POC's outside of using as a political shield
mariah carey is white
Did you actually read what the chart is representing? It's the top 20 most played Christmas songs. If a song isn't there, it's not in the top 20.
Yes and there's no way it's accurate if that song is missing.
True, it's especially noticeable if you're from another culture that celebrates it much differently.
>Last Christmas by Wham
I'll admit I like this one a lot
Freely admit it anon it's objectively top 3
I know boomers are what they are, but my god did America fall off after the 60s, I know we're getting spammed with their childhood, but I think this country in general is coping with the fact this country sucks now, so we keep acting like it's the 50s and 60s.
Oh so that's what it is about. Whenever I hear the Christmas oldies playing on speakers anywhere I just keep thinking how absolutely out of place they feel in today's America (or any time after the eighties really), and how disingenuous it is to still use this outdated style of music year after year
Even the weather in America no longer complements these boomer songs. Inb4 climatechangegay, no, but the weather is just harsher and blindingly bright now.
All those songs were written by israelites who hate you. There’s a reason none of them are about Christmas, they’re mostly about snow. They were trying to take Christ out of Christmas and they’ve largely succeeded. Boomers never had a chance.
>They were trying to take Christ out of Christmas
Good, that's the worst part about christmas. I don't want nativity scenes and sermons. I want lights and presents.
Good goy.
We still use the days of the week despite not being norse. Words lose their original meaning over time, Christmas is definitely one of those words.
I am Norse though.
>T.
Christianity is a israelite religion you moronic mouthbreathers
(())
I thought it was pronounced like Chris-mas. Do people really say Christ-mas? Good grief.
>Good grief
the irony
Oh bother
Ironic considering Christians just stole a winter solstice holiday and shoved everybody’s favorite israelite on a stick into it
oh it's this idiotic non-sequitur again
of fricking course christians will celebrate the birth of their lord and savior, and the question of when during the year does not matter
hannukah and kwanzaa and all those do the same exact shit and nobody bats an eye
If I were Christian I wouldn't want to hear hymns about Jesus playing in department stores. Besides, as a Christian you're not supposed to hit a celebratory mood until Christmas Day itself.
>you're not supposed to hit a celebratory mood until Christmas Day
Advent is a period of hopefulness for Christ's coming, it is definitely a kind of celebration. But yes the traditionalists might fast or abstain with a more somber mood than the 24/7 secular "holiday" cheerfulness that's popular in media.
cherry picked cancer. Did XKCD fall off?
What is there to dislike? They're fun, genuine, classic songs. Christmas is a nostalgic holiday. People like nostalgia. Modern sound is bland committee garbage.
It's high IQ cinema, especially the GoT mideget's scene
It's easily a 1000 times better than the Muppets Christmas Carol
How old are you OP?
Artie Lange as fake Santa is kino.
I watched this once in 06 and it was complete dogshit. Also not even funny.
it deffinately took a long time but then again thats kinda the ponit of a cult classic. frick nobody gave a shit about almost all the great classics when they first came out
It's kino alone for the scene where Buddy dabs on that fricking midge piece of shit Peter Dinklage
He gets more ass in a month than you get in a year! Are you feeling strong my friend?
Kek I don't care how much bussy that homosexual gets I'm still better than him.
I routinely quote it. “Call me elf, one more time”
>I DONT CARE THAT YOU'RE NUTS! GET OUT OF MY LIFE! NOW!!!!
my loved to quote this scene and one day he actually committed to the bit and kicked me out. Haven't talked to him since kek
It's a rare modern organic Christmas classic. The Grinch has aged very well too. Critics are hacks
It's boomergay shit for people who grew up with Chevy Chase
Everyone grows up with Chevy Chase. It's called Christmas Staycation. Again and again nibba.
Anyone else seen Klaus? That's became my go to since it came out
I've yet to see it but I have been meaning to, seems like a perfect fit this year to show the family.
Well yeah what you're seeing is when it was completely commercialized and ofc it was during the U.S.'s most economically prosperous years.
I never really thought of it like that but damn that's depressing.
With Tim Allen? Personally I prefer the sequel. More laughs and heart.
Nah that's The Santa Clause
Klaus is an animated movie about a postman, quite a lovely art style to it and JK Simmons makes for a very endearing Santa Klaus.
It's a decent little christmas comedy that families can throw on once a year during the family christmas party. It doesn't have to be good. People are only half watching it anyways. It's mostly to keep the kids distracted.
>white protagonist
>white (and hot) love interest
>focuses on white family sticking together
>on a white holiday
Takes us back to the good days of Hollywood cinema.
>white
Religion is for gays, I just wanna eat turkey and ham
I'll give you some of my ham, turkey.
>gays
gays are famously anti-religion
Enjoy the religion of consumerism
>they
>gaslight
The rest of your statement is also not correct.
christmas with religion:
>presents
>family
>oh by the way, here's the good news
christmas without religion:
>presents
>family
>getting pegged by your girlfriend (he/him)
choose wisely
why is that the go to thought in your head?
I have more gay thoughts than actual homosexuals
i heard that's what you guys do
I don't find Will Ferrell funny.
Though I will watch this one day, along with A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
It’s the first modern classic for millennials. The original classics being Home Alone 1 and 2 and The Santa Clause
home alone is so bad
For me, it's The Polar Express and Ghost of Girlfriends Past. Also what are the chances shit like Bad Santa and the Harold and Kumar Christmas movie hits cult status?
*nightmare before christmas
You forgot Jack Frost.
>for millennial
>2003
No
The funniest thing ever is that, when israelites took over American culture in the 1960's, they needed a way to hide the fact that it was entirely self serving attempt to insert and prioritize Hannukah in a highly Christian nation, so they invented Kwanzaa to act like blacks were going along with it too lmfao
Please don't turn this isn't more of a schizo thread than it already is.
Isn't schizo at all. Readily available info on wikipedia even. No one was practicing Kwanzaa before or after it got magically injected into the conversation about transitioning from Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays because one tiny self important group wasn't happy about being "left out"
Trying too hard to work yourself into a shoot, brother. Just take the win that everyone acknowledges Christmas as the best.
Speak for yourself, it's Festivus all the way for me.
Another holiday made by israelites?
Jews have already taken over the world a long time ago
So why did you complain about them here?
>inb4 that wasn’t me
Don’t reply then if it wasn’t
>Holidays because one tiny self important group wasn't happy about being "left out"
I can tell you that it wasn't the half-dozen afrocentrists celebrating Kwanzaa who pushed for this change
Exactly. They had no cultural power at all. It was their masters and handlers who were steadily gaining serious power.
What else do you know? Enlighten
It's interesting to me that all of the popular secular Christmas songs were written by israelites.
There was an intense push to secularize it. My boomer fundie Christian dad was right, they were in fact de-Christing Christmas, although his poor naive soul still doesn't know the real culprit and blames a faceless corporatocracy out there. Oh no, it was all very deliberate and concerted.
I figured traditional Christmas hymns like deck the halls and god rest ye merry gentlemen just couldn't be used anymore because they don't follow the radio pop song formula
There are literally Haaretz articles bragging about this that openly state it was an agenda. Fascinating.
Boomers complain about the "War on Christmas" but go on to blindly defend the one country that despises Christmas the most, and never put it together.
Israel doesn't give a shit about anybody celebrating Christmas or not, it's the rootless international israelites that do that
Because it's an actual Christmas classic that people watch religiously, even if that's not something you personally do. My family watched this movie once every December. Whether or not the movie is actually good or well written is a different topic, but pretending this movie has no impact simply because you think it's overrated is laughable.
Why are they trying to gaslight is into thinking this is a Christmas classic? It was totally forgotten about for years and left 0 cultural impact.
I watch this, family vacation, and Jingle all the way every December.
No shit, I love that vest.
grandma makes platinum drip
>I sleigh.
I hate all christmas music
Jim Carrey is allowed to frick my wife but ONLY if he's dressed as the Grinch
>Where are you Cuckmas
Will Ferrell is just Tom Green for normies, there I fricking said it.
>It was totally forgotten about for years and left 0 cultural impact.
When was this?
2004-2019 when it suddenly started being spammed on merchandise because it was dirt cheap to license, they wanted to trick people into thinking it was always a classic
I mean if nobody liked it they just wouldn't watch it or buy the merch.
You mean the movie that came out in 2003 was promoted starting in 2004? No way.
That's the opposite of what I said.
I must have missed that given how ridiculous a premise it is that Elf was forgotten until 2019. It's simply not true.
homie its a good movie
The scene where the blonde signing in the shower was one of my first boners, so that's an impact.
The children who grew up when it would be relevant to them have fond memories of it you fricking moron. You're old.
Friendly reminder: James Caan and Faizon Love wanted to kick the shit out of Will Ferrel for being a little b***h.
The next time you watch your beloved “classic”, be sure to picture those two bros standing just to the side debating the merits of giving the boots medium style to Ferrell, as the overgrown pixie flies around stage screaming for Evian water, blaming the staff for his shit acting.
I like Disney's A Christmas Carol.
It's hard for me to hate any christmas movie. Elf is a classic! It'll only get more classical the older it gets. Op will have YEARS of seething to do!
its my second favourite xmas film after Surviving Christmas. And i hate klke Ferrell.
Zoey was sooooo fricking hot in this it hurts just to see her in each scene.
>No depressed wagie Deschanel gf
What about Ernest Saves Christmas? Kino.
My friend once told me to avoid girls who really like Emitt Otter's Junkyard Family Christmas because their anal fiends and crazy. He was right. Take that to the bank.
bait post
very funny, but very israeli
zero mentions of Christ
>it's israeli because it doesn't' mention israelites
>it's israeli because it's a Christmas movie starring a secular israelite
Correct.
Ron Howard's Grinch deserves the love this movie receives.
I thought this movie was dumb when it came out and I was a child
>le cultural impact
I saw Polar express with my school cause my teacher freakin loved Tom Hanks, everyone was mad cause we wanted the Elf, she tried so hard to convince us that Polar Express was an extraordinary film.
Will Ferrel has no talent and isn't funny
?si=xydkf6EgxQa-7rIc
For me the undisputable Christmas kino is A Charlie Brown Christmas.
>tells the biblical story of Christmas
>main theme is against commercialization
>soulful hand-drawn animation
>family friendly for all ages
I like it
It's not very funny but Buddy's enthusiasm for Christmas is infectious, and in today's godless media landscape I'll take loud, stupid and earnest over subversive and miserable
Fred Claus uses "Silent Night" and makes it explicit Santa is a saint. Muppets Christmas Carol has an explicit reference to Jesus with Kermit Cratchit saying that Robin/Tiny Tim hoped the people in church would see him and remember who cured the blind and lame.
I worked retail for a good 5 years. Every year we sold tons of elf shit. Usually frat guys would by a big buddy the elf inflatable for outside the house.
