The Best of Comedy and Christmas: Santa, Theo Von, and Holiday Cheer!
Nothing says the holidays like Santa Claus, and comedians love putting their own spin on him. Theo Von’s podcast, This Past Weekend, recently featured “Old St. Nick” as a special guest. The episode took a hilarious dive into Santa’s day-to-day life, with Theo questioning whether Santa meets children year-round:
“Do kids just come up to you at the gas station?”
Santa’s response? A laugh-out-loud confession that even off-duty, he can’t escape the allure of children’s wishes—especially while filling up his sleigh with gas!
Theo Von’s Christmas Store Encounter
Theo’s comedy doesn’t stop at podcasting. He shared a side-splitting story about visiting a Christmas store where a fan recognized him from the Joe Rogan podcast JRE. The highlight? Theo snapping a photo with Santa while jokingly throwing up gang signs.
Theo’s universal approach to the holidays—complete with a Santa outfit, a menorah for Hanukkah, and a Tupac photo for Kwanzaa—underscored his mantra:
“The holiday season is for everyone. Merry everything!”
Secret Santa Shenanigans with Andrew Santino
The Bad Friends podcast brought a comedic twist to Secret Santa. Andrew Santino revealed a hilarious prank to co-host where every name in the draw was his, ensuring Bobby Lee wouldn’t forget to buy him a gift. Bobby’s confusion was comedy gold as he exclaimed:
“I don’t even remember drawing a name!”
The duo’s banter shows how Secret Santa isn’t just about gifts—it’s about pranks and belly laughs.
Christmas Fails and Festive Traditions
Comedians love to roast their holiday experiences. From debates over fake vs. real Christmas trees to disagreements about wrapping Santa’s gifts, their takes are always entertaining. Brendan Schaub shared his fake tree woes:
“It’s seven-and-a-half feet tall, comes with a remote, and costs $179.99. Three-year warranty!”
Meanwhile, Ari Shaffir lamented the commercialization of Hanukkah, joking that it’s been turned into a Christmas competitor.
Mrs. Claus Gets Her Spotlight
On Your Mom’s House Podcast with Tom Segura, Mrs. Claus stole the show. In a fictional rant, she hilariously called out Santa for neglecting her romantic needs:
“You know how tight my [explicit] is? Put coal in there, and a diamond will come out!”
The absurdity of Mrs. Claus’s grievances had hosts and listeners in stitches.
Christmas Songs and Holiday Mishaps
From Frosty the Snowman hating Hawaii’s warm weather to wild renditions of Christmas carols, no tradition is off-limits. Tim Dillon joked about celebrating Hanukkah with a toy branded by World Central Kitchen:
“Drive it around the neighborhood, kid. This year on Hanukkah, we’re learning lessons!”
Celebrate the Spirit of Comedy This Holiday Season
Whether it’s Theo Von pondering Santa’s gas station run-ins, Andrew Santino’s Secret Santa hijinks, or Mrs. Claus demanding attention, comedians bring the laughs every holiday season.
So grab your eggnog, cozy up by the fire, and let the comedic chaos of Christmas remind you what the holidays are truly about—laughing with those you love.
