Bad Santa (2003)

 Rated extremely R for epic feats of swearing.

bad-santa

Bring on the controversial comedy in our 40th Next 100 Project podcast! Billy Bob Thornton is perfectly cast in Terry Zwigoff’s crude Christmas opus. The flick has flaws, but it remains an LOL riot 13 years later. We even quoted half the funny lines for you! Dial up Sparkplug.Coffee, then get into your Santa suit…but please don’t pee in it. Or do.

For The Record: Rather than Dr. Seuss, it may have actually been Grinch animator Chuck Jones who said “everyone hates Christmas just a little bit.”
