If you don’t like Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman’s new woke animated Christmas series “Santa Inc.” then you’re a white supremacist according to Rogen. If that’s the case, then apparently everyone is a white supremacist, because the reviews are so bad that it’s become one of the worst-rated series ever.
The series is an “R-rated animated Christmas comedy with a touch of a feminist agenda” according to the promo by Rogen and Silverman. The premise of the show is that the role of Santa is typically one played by a white man, and that’s an issue for some reason. If it wasn’t obvious already, the allegory here is that lesser, more diverse workers do all the heavy lifting only to have a white man take all the credit.
But lo, dear reader! The dream of a female Santa is realized by an elf, who then embarks on a fun patriarchal adventure.
You will find jokes only lefties would enjoy, such as Candy Smalls (Silverman), who tells Santa (Rogan), more people believe him than vaccines or war, penis-size jokes, and lots of discussion about toxic masculinity.
I’d say they’re all good-natured jokes, but they clearly aren’t. The script was clearly written with malicious intentions and it comes across as mean-spirited. It’s a “comedy” that, if viewed live, would elicit more “clapter” from those pre-greased to find these kinds of “jokes” good than actual laughter from general audiences.
In the end, it doesn’t come off as a Christmas show, but more like an anti-Christmas one, which is exactly what you’d expect from hard-leftists whose idea of fun begins and ends with how it benefits political activism. Bottom line; it’s awful.
This message was clearly received by the audience. The average Rotten Tomatoes audience score is a pitiful three percent as of the time this article was written. I’d tell you what the critic score is, but according to Rotten Tomatoes, there haven’t been enough submissions to calculate a score. It’s been more than a week since the show was released, and professional reviewers seem to have stopped touching it. I thought that if I gave it more time there would at least be a change, but there hasn’t been. This is the score for many days.
The audience’s reviews reveal a tale of a show with little entertainment value and a lot of political messages. It’s safe to assume that what we’re seeing is a review bomb and not everyone actually watched the show in order to take shots at it, but regardless you’ll find little in the way of a good review.
This clearly made Rogen angry, but so brainwashed is Rogen that he believed he could actually use the backlash against it to convince people that those bashing his new show are “white supremacists” and that people should rush to go watch his Christmas special right now in order to stick it to them. Rogen even includes a Kafka trap.
“We really pissed off tens of thousands of white supremacists with our new show This is available now on HBOMAX (Please read the responses to this tweet for confirmation),” he tweeted.

The backlash to this tweet was indeed quick and plenty, but if there was anything indicating that the backlash was a defense of white supremacy, I couldn’t find it. Mostly, it was people reassuring him that his new Christmas toon was, indeed, absolute garbage and that calling it out as such doesn’t make one a white supremacist. It’s hard to argue with these people, especially since some of the people calling him out weren’t white.
The lesson here is obvious, but it’s a lesson that’s been obvious for years now. “Woke comedy” is objectively unfunny and fails to actually convince anyone to tune in with the exception of the small but loud social justice community. This show is hilarious because even members of the loudly vocal social justice community, and the pide-pipers who are in the media, remain remarkably silent about it.
