Things one can learn from watching Fred Claus


A fun list for all!


1) Even though Fred is Santa's older brother, he will still look 40 years younger than him, despite the fact they are ageless.

2) Some elves have huge abnormal-sized human heads with tiny bodies.

3) Mrs. Claus has nothing better to do than nag her husband.

4) There is a board of directors (location unknown) dedicated to examining holidays' efficiencies and it can also shut down the holidays permanently if they can't deliver, thus ruining the holidays for the entire world.

5) Even if you are a talented actress (coughRachelWeiszcough), you can still take time off to do at least one mediocre movie where your talent isn't needed, even if it is just a cameo.

6) The same goes for many other actors/actresses (coughPaulGiamattiVinceVaughnKathyBatesKevinSpaceyMirandaRichardsoncough)

7) Santa's personal assistant has practically nothing to do but stand around, smile and wear revealing clothing that shows her boobs and legs, despite the fact she is in sub-zero temperatures.

8) Some Elves are not real; they are badly created with computers.

9) Santa and the elves love listening to the same song over and over and over and over and over and over and over....

10) Santa's bodyguards like to fight for no reason.

11) Don't try to panhandle cash on the street for yourself on Christmas; you'll end up getting chased by an seemingly endless crowd of charity Santas.

12) Every kid deserves a present on Christmas because no kids are naughty...even the ones that bite.

13) When doing difficult paperwork for Santa, you may find the paperwork to pile up if you don't get started...despite the fact that all you have to do is stamp them.

14) Even if you don't finish a lot of the paperwork and stamp "Nice" on every other paper, you will still get your $50,000.

15) If you are a nun and you help a woman deliver her baby, feel free to tell her "This is the fattest baby I have ever seen"...despite the fact that the baby isn't even that fat.

16) Santa may be a Saint, but he still chops down a harmless tree where a bluebird made its nest.

17) If that event occurs and it hurts you, don't tell your brother that it hurt you until years later.

18) If a girl can't even remember your name, she's not worth it.

19) It is possible to eat millions of cookies and drink thousands of gallons of milk in one night without ever having to go to the bathroom.

20) Chances are good that if you have a little friend that is good go to an orphanage, he will end up being #1 on Santa's most naughty list.

21) Denny Duqette will show up at any time for less than a minute to ask your girlfriend out and then never show up again.

22) Santa and Fred's Father has very little to say or do.

23) Santa's assistant should find work at a local strip club.

24) Kids will be so happy if they get a present on Christmas...even if it is a lame baseball bat or a hula hoop.

25) If the evil director tries to shut you down, try warming his icy heart by giving him a Superman cape...even though you could have done this earlier when he arrived.


So much to learn from a standard holiday film. If anyone learned anything, feel free to add.

The most important -- get your letter in early or you will get stuck with a hula hoop when Santa's elves get short on time!!

27) If you feel like your movie is not the comedy you had envisioned, feel free to cut and paste a scene of a therapy session with famous brothers that feels lifted from a "Saturday Night Live" skit.

28) Kevin Spacey loves being associated with Superman.

29) A blue bird that was alive in a tree ages ago will still be alive by the end of the movie, even though birds are not ageless like saints.

31) It's night/dark all over the world at the same time.

33) If anyone suspects you of something and asks who you are, just tell them you're with People on the Internet. Look up "People on the Internet" and they'll find you.

34) Kids in Chicago orphanages can keep puppies.

reply

35) The home of Santa is blatantly obvious to the open eye,
yet his existence is questioned.

7) Santa's personal assistant has practically nothing to do but stand around, smile and wear revealing clothing that shows her boobs and legs, despite the fact she is in sub-zero temperatures.

36) Santa's assistant is a useless character and is nothing but eye candy to horny middle aged men.

A whole line-up of talented actors/actresses (Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, Rachel Weisz, Kevin Spacey, Kathy Bates, Miranda Richardson and Elizabeth Banks) couldn't save this stale fruitcake of a movie!

reply

fred and santa's dad is frank from the vicar of didbly and speaks only two lines throughout the entire film.

rachel weisz is able to make her own way back to America from the north pole.

santa makes scene it! games and bob the builder toys.

Elizabeth Banks is hot in a sexy santa outfit.

he's not Alex.

he's not alex

he's not alex.

frank stallone thinks sly stallone is santa claus.

writing things learnt in a movie is a waste of time

reply

that in addition to millions of cookies, Santa appreciates a good knish when he accidentally goes down a Jewish family's chimney.

P.S. then why waste time writing, mrpasty?

"he's not Alex.

26) There's actually sunlight at the north pole in december. Wow!

reply

reindeer sleigh riding is the number one cause of car accidents on christmas Eve.

Every girl loves a hula hoop and every boy wants a baseball bat.

Lonely elves can look up Santa's assistant's skirt when walking by to say hello.

Being alive and having a great advantage for over 127 years will still get you nowhere if Santa Claus is your brother.

social caseworkers often chase after orphans through someone else's apt.

reply

Mrs. Claus worries that her husband eats too much and has sleep apnea, despite the fact he cant die!!

Its always good to have the main character in a family movie cohabitate with his girlfriend.

A lot of talented actors needed some extra cash.

Really bad and unfunny ideas, can infact make it from paper to the scren.

reply

44. People's kids get presents on Christmas that they themselves did not purchase, yet people still laugh at you when you say you believe in Santa.

45. It's ok for even young children to be the butt-end of cheap stereotypical racial jokes in a mainstream feelgood movie with A-list actors.

"Here's you're wallet back" and "what do you have a video coming out tomorrow? Turn you're hat around and wear it like a man!"

That no matter what movie it is or what premise is in the movie or that you are supposed to suspend belief when you watch fictional movies, there is always some jack@$$ that has to go to the message boards and point out plot holes and incontinuities in said movies to feel better about himself.

BOYCOTT SHAMPOO! DEMAND REAL POO!

reply

And in a group discussion by people who LIKE discussing said inconsistencies and plot holes, some jack@$$ has to come along and says "it's just a movie, it's not real, it doesn't have to make sense, cry cry cry, someone listen to me".

Florida! But that's Americas wang

Some Polish-American girls in Chicago affect English accents to make themselves sound classy.

46. Only a Claus can deliver the gifts, yet neither Nick or Fred has had the foresight to knock up their mates.

46.1.0 Fred won't even marry his cohabitator so any progeny would probably get kicked out of Claus-ness on some obscure technicality clause.

47) Cheap jokes and stale screenplays are always over-looked when you add in a christmas setting and market it as a holiday film!
