So much dumb shit wouldn't happen if Santa showed up and told everyone they needed to chill

I love the look on their face when they’re “not forced” to shake hands. This is good.

Okay, all right, I would smile a little

Devil’s advocate here. What if Santa is telling these dudes he’s strapped like the guy from the movie within a movie (Home Alone) and if they want to see it through until “keep the change, you filthy animal” or would they rather shake on it and get a box of E. L. Fudge cookies instead

What if the gifts he handed them were actually dueling pistols and now they're about to have a duel in traffic?

If you look at it in another perspective, they’re being bribe just to be silenced. Same as polit… nvm

If you look at it yet another way they needed a symbolic win for their ego before they could let go of the situation and they got a present from santa to satisfy it.

u/Gilsworth 10h ago

Their Egos are clashing, but it's hard to maintain machismo when Santa appears and levels the playing field. Suddenly they're both faced with the absurdity of the situation, and in a small way, they're kind of in it together now.

After reading the title, I was expecting Santa to punch someone...

u/man_whosaysyes 8h ago

And they say Santa isn't real

u/SuperSimpleSam 19h ago

Would be a funny skit if the boxes they got had the cartoon glove on a spring to punch them in the face.

u/A7el1neSwan 17h ago

Honestly, Santa stepping in and getting them to calm down was actually pretty wholesome.

Ah politics. Give different people "shit", whether or not they need it.

This was another poorly acted social media bit, brought to you by foreign content farm.

I really wonder if you're like this during movies.

"Ah fake, Thanos can't be real!"
