This is a phenominon we have all witnessed with this years batch of christmas oriented animations, I don't know whether its always been like this, but either way, why? People have latched onto this idea of drunk/bad santas (Reminds me of the movie) and will not cease till all originality in the idea has been thoroughly beaten out of it. I guess these days it can be easy to connect christmas with A: Santa and B: Drunken merry making.
people started to notice when Adam Phillips animation hit the front page(judging from the reviews.)
and the same goes for peixeaquatico's "jesus party" At least he gets credit for leaving out santa this time round. Another observation of this toon. It seems as though there were as many if not more people "Going oh my goodness this is gonna offend so many people its gonna be awesome." than people who actually went "That really Effed me off!" I was gonna do a proper study of all the reviews, but I got bored. So I stopped.
I found this article in a online magazine called aucklandfuckingcity.co.nz . To me it felt like all the twisted dreams of newgrounds come to life on our city streets. (don't be afraid, its not a wall of text article)
All this leaves me wondering, what will the next curve be? Will people come up with something new next christmas or will it be a rehash of drunken hilarity.

its 11:22pm christmas eve. I'll be waiting for santa, he better be an effing ninja and not a drunken freak because I like my sleep these days.
