You can't spell "Santa" without "Satan"... wait, what? Sometimes, the Anthropomorphic Personification of a beloved holiday just can't take the stress anymore. This may simply lead to shameful behavior, or it might end in a full-blown violent rampage. Alternately, there may be an impostor bringing shame to the red suit. Or instead of cracking under stress, he was Evil All Along. Or maybe an ordinary Mall Santa is just a Jerkass. Either way, we have a Bad Santa Claus on our hands. And remember what Laocoön said about Greeks bearing gifts. For children brought up with the "commercialized" form of Christmas, Santa Claus can be seen as something of a symbol of divine judgment as well as a jolly child-friendly icon, making the Bad Santa almost like a combination between the Knight Templar and the Monster Clown. It isn't uncommon for the Bad Santa to herald his appearance with a twisted form of the 'naughty or nice' list — usually with severe penalties for whoever is judged "naughty". See also The Krampus, a trope based on a concept often confused with this one, and Usurping Santa, when a bad person becomes Santa. An extreme form of Paranoia Fuel, given the disturbing nature of a killer or monster masquerading as a figure trusted and admired by children. Named after the movie of the same name. Usually runs a Santa's Sweatshop. If it's the real deal, it's a case of Adaptational Villainy. If not, it usually ends up fighting the real deal, Badass Santa! To see an exaggerated version of Bad Santa, see Santabomination. Compare Fallen Cupid, the corruption of another holiday icon. The presence of this usually leads to An Ass-Kicking Christmas. |

The Tales from the Crypt Christmas Episode (yes, there was one), "And All Through the House", featured an escaped mental patient/axe murderer, whose schtick was dressing as Santa Claus, menacing a woman who has just murdered her husband on Christmas Eve. Zig-zagged slightly in that he only kills the murderess woman and leaves her daughter alive. | |

Or, as Arnold Schwarzenegger's put it, "sleazy con men in red suits." One of them is also a Badass Santa, played by Paul Wight, one of the few men who could make Arnold look small and scrawny. | |

The SuperMansion Christmas special "War on Christmas" has Santa Claus made real as the result of a wish from Cooch that is granted in exchange for the freedom of a reality-warping villain named Mr. Skibumpers. Santa ends up snapping from trying to make sense of his traits that don't align with logic (such as having to deliver presents to all the children of the world in one night and somehow not needing bathroom breaks in spite of all the milk and cookies he consumes) and goes on a rampage that ends when the League of Freedom get him to enter his own magic sack. Santa later comes out of the bag and has supposedly come to his senses, but at the end worries Titanium Rex by strongly implying that the naughty will face severe punishment from him. | |

The Simpsons: In the episode "Homer's Phobia", John has a "creepy-cool robot Santa" (as Bart describes it) from Japan, that he later uses to scare off the reindeer beating up Homer. John says that he figured "reindeer would naturally be afraid of their cruel master, Santa Claus. I mean, wouldn't you be?" In the Christmas Episode "The Fight Before Christmas", the parody of The Polar Express casts Krusty as Santa, with Krusty's usual portrayal as a cynical purveyor of shoddy merch. |

Doctor Who Expanded Universe: In the Doctor Who New Adventures novel Sky Pirates!, among the bizarre and horrifying/hilarious creatures of the System is the Snata, an animal that resembles an overweight, bearded corpse. Snatas feed on revulsion and terror, and so, operating entirely on instinct, they make themselves bloodsoaked fur cloaks and enter houses through the chimney, ranting that the occupants have been very naughty. In the short story "The Feast", in Short Trips: The History of Christmas, a group of 17th century Londoners, chafing at Cromwell's ban on Christmas, perform a ritual that they think will summon St Nicholas, but actually summons an elemental force that feeds on belief. The Doctor has to destroy it before it drains its believers completely. |

In the Ultimate Warrior Xmas Special, it seems that Warrior dresses as "Warrior Santa" and starts delivering Destrucity to children as well as apparently raping the real Santa Claus. Apparently, the intent was for it to be a Saving Christmas scenario where Warrior dresses up as Santa after he passes out drunk on Christmas Eve. The picture really looks like the aftermath of him raping Santa instead, though. | |

Downplayed in Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "T-Shirt of the Living Dead." While he's generally a jolly fellow, he's understandably upset when he's summoned from his home in July as he was sleeping by Meatwad. Even more so when he's horrifically burned alive by a monster summoned by Meatwad, as he makes his feelings known to Frylock, afterwards. | |

Batman: Black and White, "A Slaying Song Tonight": A hitman plans to get near his target by taking the place of a Mall Santa hired to put in an appearance for the target's daughter. Batman figures it out in the nick of time and stops the hitman just before he reaches the house — then puts the costume on and does the Santa appearance himself. | |

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal has some examples. One strip has Santa preparing a rifle after finding that there are too many good kids. Another strip has a pair of children visited by a blue-clad Santa who tells the children that nobody loves them and announces that he will crap on their pillows. Subverted in this one, in a way that is actually more disturbing than what it looks like at first. Santa is whipping his elves, but he's doing it because the elves are into that sort of thing. |

This character introduces himself as "Kringle." and when Harry makes a comment about the character joining the Erlking's Hunt, Kringle replies along the lines of "what mortals know me as is not what I always was. Everything changes with time." Kringle is Santa. Kringle is also Odin. |

Calvin and Hobbes: Played for laughs in a standalone Christmas strip: Calvin once wondered about an "evil Santa" who brings you dangerous and annoying toys if you're bad, and socks and underwear if you're good. Similarly, another time he had a dream that Santa had reversed his moralities and was bringing all the presents to naughty children. |

While explaining the concept of summoning fairies and trapping them in magic circles in the Dresden Files novel Storm Front, Harry Dresden makes a throwaway remark about not being suicidal enough to try summoning and entrapping Santa Claus that way: "nobody has stones that big." Given some of the things that people have tried and/or succeeded in summoning and entrapping in magic circles, this says something about the kindly old elf. There's probably a third list just for being that naughty. In Cold Days, Harry actually meets a character that looms over him (Harry is canonically somewhere around 6'6", or 195 cm tall), wears Mail armor (of something other than iron), with black boots, a large scarlet overcoat lined with white fur, and carries a large broadsword.

SCP Foundation: SCP-1933 is a man in a Santa suit who is incapable of living off anything other than the basic ingredients of Irish creme and has drinkable bodily fluids that are fatal because consumption in large quantities cause the drinker's bodily fluids to become Irish creme. He might not be aware of his anomalous effects, but that doesn't make them any less deadly. SCP-4666 is a demonic pagan god that resembles an old, skinny, naked man. He's also a psychopathic serial killer; every December, he targets a family living in an isolated rural community in northern Eurasia or North America, brutally torturing and murdering everyone in the household except for the youngest child; whom he kidnaps in his sack and takes them back to his lair, forcing them to work themselves to death by making toys out of human remains. It's strongly implied that he inspired the original myths of Santa Claus and The Krampus. |

Related to the Supernatural example in the Live Action Television section above: In some parts of Europe, Saint Nicholas, the prototype of Santa Claus, was said to be accompanied by a little demon or dark elf known by several names, among them Black Peter or the Krampus. While St. Nick doled out the goodies to the good little tykes, his sidekick either put sticks/rocks/coal in the stockings of the ones on the naughty list, or in some cases, spanked them with a broom. Just watch it. In French-speaking regions, he is known as Pere Fouettard (Father Whipper) and, as his name implies, gives whip lashes to the most unruly children. Sometimes he kidnaps the worst ones, who are never seen again (and implied to be taken straight to Hell or eaten). One of the tales goes that the children kidnapped by the Black Peters were taken away to become the next generation of Black Peters. Looking a little deeper, the "bad" kids are getting sticks and coal (and in some places, potatoes)? The "bad" kids are the poor kids. They're probably overjoyed to get all that fuel and food. |

Married... with Children: In an early episode, Al got into a fight with a department store Santa that worked in the mall; the guy then wouldn't let it go, and proceeded to turn every kid he spoke to against Al the next day, and then got a gang of other department store Santas to beat him up when he tried to leave work. A later episode featured a bar full of drunk and grouchy department store Santas who hated their job, one of which was packing heat; after the bartended turned the radio to play Jingle Bells, he shot it. He almost did the same to a rather cheery guy dressed like an elf, but then the bartender threw the guy out. (And insulted him by calling him short, at which point the elf got angry and said that the next Santa to do that "would be "ho-ho-hoing in soprano"; unfortunately, he makes good that threat on Al Bundy who walks in an does it.) Let's not forget the drunk Santa that fell out of a helicopter and landed in the Bundys' backyard. |

He then tied the thief to the front of the truck containing the toys, put antlers on him, and drove him through traffic. After the police found the abandoned truck in front of the hospital with the thief still tied to it, the only thing the thief could tell them was "Santa did it!" | |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged: In the Christmas Special, "Christmas Tree of Might", Amond of the Turles Crusher Corps was reinterpreted as Slay of the Misfit Minions, who is pretty proud of his track record as a bad mall Santa, and crosses this with Jackass Genie. A kid wants a fire truck for Christmas? He drops a real fire truck on the kid's head. Another kid wants his cancer gone? He blows the kid up - no more cancer! In "Plan to Eradicate Christmas", Dr. Lychee of Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans is reimagined as Santa and he absolutely hates the entire world because of its self-destructive behaviour and holds the Z-Warriors in particular in contempt, especially Vegeta. Except for Gohan — he's actually on the Nice List. |

In the Christmas classic, Miracle on 34th Street, the Santa for the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is a drunk. Later, the real Santa smacks a department store psychologist with his cane for telling an impressionable young boy that he was mentally ill for wanting to do good on Christmas. This lands him in Bellevue, as part of the psychologist's petty attempt at revenge and leads to the court case at the end of the film. The 1994 remake retained the "drunk" Santa who also got fired for mooning the audience and losing his pants on the job. The movie later showed a bar of drunk Santas off shift, and the original Kole's Santa took the place in the plot of the psychologist as an antagonist. | |

The Santa in The Powerpuff Girls Christmas special is bad not in the sense that he's evil or mean, but in the sense that he's a total moron, just like everyone else. He actually believed Princess was the only nice kid in the world after she changed the naughty and nice lists, but then, Princess just HAD to push Santa to his limits of tolerance, insulting and demeaning him after the girls tried to prove Santa what Princess did, to make Santa decide he doesn't need a list of naughty and nice, and then proceeded to put her into the Permanent Naughty plaque, so Santa can remember she's naughty. Naturally Santa rectifies this mistake, with some help from the PPG, of course. | |

The 1972 Tales from the Crypt Anthology Film segment "And All Through the House" featured a killer dressed as Santa Claus. It was later remade as an episode of the TV series. Both were inspired by a holiday-themed tale from the original comic, though the TV series episode sticks closer to the source. | |

The Jolly Roger Telephone Company is a company which provides bots to waste the time of telemarketers, with recordings of some of these calls posted on the Internet. One of these bots is Santa Claus. The Santa-bot can display shades of this if his routines play out long enough, and he has a fairly large set of routines. One of these involves him mentioning that he is one of the big-deliverers of male-enhancement pills along with them hinting that he may be taking them himself. Another involves him talking about the naughty and nice lists and mentioning that sometimes it's those who are extra-naughty he likes to visit first. | |

More & More & More Tales to Give You Goosebumps: Santa Claus appears as the main antagonist of the story "Santa's Helpers". While not evil, he is a clear case of Adaptational Jerkass. Instead of the Benevolent Boss he is typically portrayed as, the story depicts him as a Mean Boss who overworks his elves, not allowed to leave or quit, to the point that some of them try to run away from the workshop, which has led to Santa sending more elves to recapture them. In the story, his elves mistake two children dressed in red and green winter clothes for the two latest escapees and bring them back to Santa, who puts them on 18 hour shifts for the next 5 years, noting that they can have a 2 day vacation afterward if they work hard enough. He does give the kids a chance to prove they are human children, but they fail and are presumably left doing hard labor until they grow up enough for Santa to realize they are humans. | |

In Squidbillies, Santa Claus initially appears to be an unfortunate guy who got on Early Cuyler's bad side. He gets kidnapped and tortured by the Cuylers, and the elves attempt to save him. But, the elves give up when they realize Santa has been exploiting them for free labor. This is taken up a notch in his second and last (major) appearance. He not only appears to be illegally smuggling weapons, but then shoots his elves to death (and a reindeer) as they are ascending to heaven, yelling that they are his slaves. | |

Monk: In "Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum", the killer of the week dresses up as Santa Claus to look for the murder weapon so that if anybody hears about it, they'll just pass it off as a delusion of the patient who saw him (who has a Santa Claus obsession). In the episode "Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa", Monk shoots a man dressed as Santa Claus — he claims self-defence, but he becomes a public pariah. As it turns out, the man in the Santa suit was acting as a diversion for a diamond heist. At the end of the episode, Monk refers to him several times as a "bad Santa." |

The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special featured Lobo being hired by the Easter Bunny to whack Santa Claus, and a Badass Santa getting into a machete fight with the alien bounty hunter. Santa is also portrayed as a merciless taskmaster who has a monstrous gorilla named Kong as a pet. (The canon of this story is questionable and has never been fully addressed, seeing as Santa isn't depicted this way in DC Comic stories that happened before or since; Lobo has spoken about it, but he can be an Unreliable Narrator at times.) | |

The Tick brought us Multiple Santa - an evil Santa impersonator who can clone himself, parodying the way children react to hearing news that Santa Claus is making personal appearances in many different places all at once throughout December. It was made into a Christmas Episode of the cartoon show. His ability to clone himself comes from electricity, leading the Tick to believe he killed him when he first gains his power. Worse, he keeps believing he's the real Santa until the actual Santa Claus (complete with elves) shows up. This has the side effect of restoring Arthur's faith on Christmas. At the end, since the Tick can't bring himself to fight even a villain who resembles Santa, he shakes him, which causes all his copies to disappear. Giving the Santas noogies makes them disappear. | |

Futurama gave us an iconic example where Santa Claus is a recurring homicidal robot villain with nigh-unachievable standards for "nice". For example, mafia thugs beating up a shopkeeper for protection money? That's naughty. But a shopkeeper refusing to pay mobsters protection money? Equally naughty. Scruffy the Janitor apparently gets on the "naughty" list simply by picking his nose. The only person shown judged "Nice" was Dr. Zoidberg. Epitomized in the song at the end of that episode: |

The Santa Clause parodies this trope with a line from Scott Calvin regarding an advertising campaign with Santa in a life size "total tank" model. The Santa Clause 2 features a Toy Santa designed to fill in for the real one while he goes off to find a Mrs. Claus. While Santa's absent, Toy Santa takes over the North Pole, turns it into a fascist state, locks up all the elves, and goes off to give everyone coal. And in the third film of the series, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, Jack Frost manages to take over the role. He enslaves the elves, exposes Santa to the world, and makes the North Pole into a business and fancy tourist attraction. |

The Dutch movie Sint, released in 2010, contains a bad version of Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas, on which Santa is based). When it's full moon on Pakjesavond (translated Presents Eve on 5 Decembre, the night when the kids get their presents), Sinterklaas comes. Not to deliver presents, but to kill you. (Apparently it's not Sinterklaas, but Saint Niklas, a zombie. But they look EXACTLY the same, so it counts). Commercial posters have caused controversy, as they seem to scare kids. The RCC (Reclame Code Comissie, a Dutch organisation that decides if commercials are allowed to be shown in public) has decided that the posters can stay were they are. | |

WWF Prime Time Wrestling, on its December 25, 1989, broadcast (Christmas Day), saw Bobby Heenan made to dress as Santa Claus while co-hosting the show, this after one of Heenan's wrestlers, Rick Rude, lost to Roddy Piper in a match earlier in the month; another explanation is that Heenan lost a trivia contest a week earlier to Piper. Early on the Christmas broadcast, Heenan went along in the Christmas spirit, as Prime Time host Gorilla Monsoon (at the desk) and Piper (in an auxiliary studio) encouraged him. Eventually, Heenan grew tired of having to play nice and began to openly insult and mock the tradition of Christmas and Santa Claus, all this while dressed as Santa. Piper (and Monsoon) tried in vain to get Heenan to stop his tirade, but when Heenan said that Santa Claus wasn't real and began taking off his Santa outfit, Piper lost his temper and beat up Heenan. note (At the time, there was an angle involving Piper and Heenan where Piper could not physically attack Heenan or else he would be fired as co-host of Prime Time, which of course Heenan used to his fullest advantage.) For Piper, it was personal, as he reflected back on his own impoverished childhood and Christmases where he got nothing and vowed that Santa was real. note Even during his heel run several years earlier in the WWF, Piper considered Santa real, and a skit was even done that aired on the WWF's "Tuesday Night Titans" program. The episode did come under criticism by some because of Heenan's anti-Santa comments while dressed as St. Nick (due to younger kids in the audience possibly considering this man — even though it was clear it was Heenan — to be the Santa), and perhaps aware of what might happen Monsoon and Piper did their best to reassure the children that this man was making comments that were completely out of line. Piper beating up Heenan (while still having his red Santa coat and pants on) when he wouldn't shut up also was a point of criticism, again because younger children in the audience who still considered this "Santa" to be ''the'' Santa and the image of their favorite Christmastime character being beaten to a pulp. | |

Robot Chicken: In "A Very Dangerous Dragon Ball Z Christmas", Goku and Gohan fight a Mrs. Claus who turns into a hideous giant tentacle monster a la Tetsuo from AKIRA. There was also Composite Santa Claus, who's one-half Santa Claus and one-half Frosty the Snowman. When questioned as to CSC's powers, Goku replies, "I don't know, but he freaks me right the f** k out." Santa's Drug Operation doesn't feature a bad Santa, because the starting point is Santa being murdered... but he was apparently bad before that (being a neglectful husband, running a drug peddling operation, using lawnmowers to punish disloyal employees...). |

At WWF in Your House 5: Season's Beatings, December 17, 1995, "The Million-Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase introduced Xanta Klaus, an evil version of Santa who lived at the South Pole, as the newest acquisition of his Million Dollar Corporation. The gimmick lasted one match. Xanta Squashed Scott Taylor on the December 23rd (taped December 19th) WWF Superstars. Xanta, real name Jonathan Rechner, would go on to find success after going to ECW with a gimmick truer to himself, the "Hardcore Chair-Swinging Freak" Balls Mahoney. | |

In a Zits comic that was published after Christmas, Jeremy has a nightmare where he's visited by Repo Claus (who looks like Santa, but meaner, and dressed in green), who takes gifts from ungrateful kids who don't appreciate them. After waking up, Jeremy feels bad about not having given his parents a sincere thank you, and decides to go do so right away. | |

This Org was not adapted to the corresponding series of Power Rangers Wild Force. Reindeiasanta from Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger and Rude Elf from Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. The Debo Yanasanta quintuplet from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, and their Power Rangers Dino Charge counterpart, Heximas. In Avataro Sentai Donbrothers: After suffering a series of mishapes compounded by kids in the world no longer believing in him, Santa Claus became a Buddha-themed Light-type Hitotsu-Ki called Hikariki bent on ruining Christmas for everyone. |

Team Fortress 2 supplementary material features Old Nick, the "Santa" analogue of Australian Christmas. He is an ancient Humanoid Abomination who kidnaps children from across the world, brings them back to his workshop in the South Pole, and forces them to make gifts year-round, which they then give to him. In the comic "A Smissmas Story", the Spy gets a little boy to stab him to death with an icicle. Interestingly enough, "Auld Nick" is used in Scots as another name for The Devil. Which may be coincidental, but would certainly explain a lot. |

The Punisher Silent Night started by showing a former criminal called Tiny Tim with bloodshot eyes playing Santa. Subverted in that he was unmalicious to the children but then played straight when the Punisher himself put on a costume and started traumatizing any child who had the misfortune of running into him. The story ends with him leaving the corpse of a Noble Demon crime lord wearing the suit in front of an Orphanage. | |

Billy's parents in Silent Night, Deadly Night were killed by a robber dressed as a Santa, and years later he turns into an Ax-Crazy killer seeking to punish the naughty. When the movie was released, theaters showing it were actually picketed due to its premise. As this page shows, It's Been Done before and nobody complained! Billy's crazier brother Ricky dresses as Santa Claus when he goes after the Mother Superior in Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2. Laura meets one during the opening dream segment of Silent Night, Deadly Night III: Better Watch Out!. What's also interesting is that one of the victims is actually dressed as Santa. Pino (disguised as his creator, Joe) dresses like Santa when he unleashes killer toys on a pair of teenage lovers in Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker. The killer, Jim, and Stein in Silent Night (2012). |

When The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack finds out that a mysterious figure leaves combs in a small bowl near the port every time its filled with candy during the night, he dreams of a Santa Claus-like figure whose helpers distribute combs across the world. His dream becomes a nightmare when comb-Santa tells Flapjack he needs the comb he gave him to get the bugs out of his hair in a deep, hellish voice, revealing numerous insects crawling on Flapjack's head. Flapjack vainly tries to comb out the bugs in his hair while comb-santa laughs maniacally with visible sharpened teeth. This shocks Flapjack out of his nightmare. | |

Henry Leverage's short story "Crooked Charity" (published in the Pulp Magazine Gangster Stories, December of 1929) is an early example of the "impostor Santa" version of this trope, with a Villain Protagonist convict who breaks out of jail on Christmas Eve. He wanders into a rich suburb, where he bumps into a drunken homeowner delivering toys in a Santa suit. He mugs the guy and steals the costume, seeing it as a perfect way to sneak past the cops and skip town. To keep his cover, he has to give the expensive presents in his sack to some poor inner-city kids, and the story ends with him reflecting that he actually made a surprisingly good Santa. | |

It turns out one of his elves was possessed by a demon who was supposed to go to Satan, but was mixed up in the mail, though it ends up posessing him as well. Even when not possessed by a demon, Santa's shown as being far from jolly; In "What's New Beelzebub?" he confesses he can't stand kids and the whole "live in a remote arctic wasteland and only go out to deliver presents once a year" set-up is so he doesn't have to deal with them. | |

Fallen London has Mr Sacks, aka "The Crimson Beast of Winter", who appears every December. He doesn't give people gifts; the people of London are instead supposed to give gifts to him. He accepts anything from abstract things like your "best regards", to fine wines, to parts of your body...or even you, if you're foolish enough or don't have anything else to offer. But something of yours WILL end up in his sack. And unlike Santa, he doesn't just appear on the Christmas eve. No, Mr. Sacks visits you on each of the twelve days before Christmas. And he expects a gift with each visit. In the Spin-Off game Sunless Sea, your captain may be called upon to perform three deliveries for Mr. Sacks. Refusing him is implied to be bad for your long-term well-being. Accepting is likely to be bad for you short-term. Accepting and taking too long with it is likely to be the worst (and last) idea you'll ever have. |

"The Year Santa Went Modern", a humorist narrative poem by Richard Armour,note Published in "Family Circle" in 1963 and adapted into a picture book in 1964 gives us a Santa Claus who is not so much evil as misguided, willing to dabble in utilitarianism and iconoclasm. At his foreman elf Slick's instigation to modernize the way he does things, Santa first seriously considers trading in his sleigh and reindeer for one modern vehicle or another. He does give up on this idea, but only after all the alternative modes of transportation he considers appear too impractical or dangerous to him. Santa nonetheless decides to go on a crash diet; Slick uses the opportunity to get the now slim jolly old elf to have a very stylish business suit sewn for him, and when this is done, easily convinces him to complete the update to his look by shaving off his beard. But when he sees the result, Santa realizes that the new look is antithetical to what he stands for. He instantly regrets the change but with only a week left until Christmas, he is compelled to do his rounds that year with a false beard and a pillow under his Santa suit while his beard and belly grow back. | |

The Homestar Runner puppet short Decemberween Dangeresque has Dangeresque and Firebert menaced by a knife-wielding "robotic Santam'n" (made from a little dancing Christmas toy). They are able to easily escape it when it becomes too top-heavy and falls off balance, spinning in a circle. There's even a jazzy little song recorded by Homestar about it. | |

Genius: The Transgression has a bizarre example, in that Santa altogether sticks to the actual mythology around him and is generally a jolly, happy (and very industrious) man without a mean bone in his body. The problem is, he's a Mane (the strongest Mane at that), and as a manifestation of pure Mania everything he makes and even touches is a massive Havoc risk whenever a mere mortal is involved. "Mere mortal" includes the children he's handing out gifts to, mind you. And anyone who attacks him gets shuttered in his workshop and made to write a few apology letters... in a place so utterly soaked with Mania Geniuses risk completely losing their shit from the excess with every minute they spend inside. Santa Claus himself has no idea about any of this and continues to do what he always does every Christmas, forcing Geniuses to create an entire committee to stop and kill him every year - and he comes back every time. | |

The demented Santa Claus (1959) movie featured in the episode of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" falls into this trope entirely by accident. He's supposed to be a straightforward kindhearted Santa, but the movie's surreal tone and poor production value make him seem bizarrely sinister. | |

Tokusou Exceedraft has, in episodes 43 and 44, a trio of child-abducting female Santas who appear to be immune to Exceedraft's weapons. They're actually angels, bringing children to Mika - a female Archangel Michael - to be brought to a new world when this world ends. They join forces with Exceedraft to fight against a group of demonic Santas who try to capture the children for themselves. Yeah, Exceedraft got weird near the end. | |

A mall Santa who gives Stewie the brush-off when he finally gets to the front of the line because his shift is over, and the real Santa (who he goes to kill), who is worn out by the overload of Christmas commercialization and wants to be put out of his misery. When Stewie first learns of Santa, he has a nightmare of him catching lasers à la Darth Vader, after which Stewie is lobotomized and put to work in Santa's workshop. |

While the central antagonist of Krampus falls under his own trope, he does dress and act like a parody of Santa Claus, in the familiar red fur robes with white trimming (albeit with gigantic curved horns poking out from under his hood) and even a gruesome old-man mask. He also has his own helpers in the form of a gang of sinister elves, disturbing Living Toys, and animated gingerbread people. Played a little straighter earlier in the movie, when Sarah notices that the mall Santa in the family photo is giving her teenage daughter a very inappropriate glance. |

The Santa Claus in Violent Night is a drunken Knight in Sour Armor, though when called upon to be heroic, he goes Badass Santa, killing a LOT of legitimately evil people with a sledgehammer. Considering that he is an immortal 1100-year old Viking named Nicomund the Red, this is very much justified. By the end of the movie, he's become a little less cynical and moved further away from this trope. | |

Father Crimbo (the game's version of Santa Claus) of Kingdom of Loathing had a heart attack one year and was replaced by his no-good alcoholic brother. However, Crimbo 2007 had the Borg bringing Father Crimbo Back from the Dead; and getting assimilated by him in turn, becoming the Crimborg. And in 2008, Uncle Crimbo accidentally unleashed a horde of mutant elves after an ill-advised attempt to use radioactive materials in toys. He was replaced with Don Pygoscelis, head of the (penguin) Mafia. Don Pygoscelis was eventually beaten in 2009, replaced by the seemingly-reformed Crimbomination... then in 2010, the Crimbomination became a Corrupt Corporate Executive who turned Crimbo Town into the headquarters of a soulless corporation, CRIMBCO. |

The Tick animated series had a Christmas episode in which the Tick and Arthur first tangle with a bank robber disguised as Santa (which he got by mugging a street Santa), and accidentally knock him into a neon sign in the process — but instead of killing him, the electricity CLONES him. The real Santa shows up to help the Tick stop the clones from reaching the local hydroelectric plant, where they can get enough juice to make unlimited clones and take over the world. The episode contains one glorious pun, when the Tick sees the growing mass of Santa clones and exclaims, "It's a Yule TIDE!" | |

Played with in Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors regarding "Santa", who absolutely doesn't look like any depiction of Santa and simply chose the codename to match with his number 3 bracelet since 3 is pronounced as "San" in Japanese as well as that he used to secretly play Santa for his sister. He may also recall a story about there being two Santa Clauses; one good Santa dressed in white and one bad Santa dressed in black, whose misdeeds eventually drove the good Santa to kill the evil one and the ensuing murder stained the good Santa's clothes red. In reality, he's the 'secretary' for Zero (Akane) and helped mastermind the entire second Nonary Game to get revenge on the men who planned the first game which killed Akane in the past and to make sure she could use the morphogenetic field to contact Junpei under the right conditions so she could save herself. In the end, he manages to grant Akane's wish to live and both get away with manipulating Hongou (Ace) into killing the other three men behind the first game. | |

Evoked in The Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack the Pumpkin King intentionally garbles up his description of "Sandy Claws" for the residents of Halloweentown, making Santa sound like a monster — because he realizes that's the only way to get Halloween-themed critters excited about Christmas. Later on, Jack himself becomes an unintentional example of this trope as he tries to take over the role of Santa Claus, but ends up putting a terrifying Halloween spin on everything. Unlike most examples, Jack's "Bad Santa" persona is actually well-intentioned. He genuinely loves Christmas, and wants to make everyone happy — it's just that he doesn't quite "get" the meaning of the holiday. | |
