For the name alone, Bad Santa demands Christmas movie list inclusion. Don’t sleep on this hilarious look at the darker side of the holidays.

If you want a family-friendly movie, try out A Christmas Story. If you’re going for Christmas and romantic, then Love Actually is probably the correct option. For those who tend to gravitate to the dark side of the force, there is an alternative option this Christmas season: Bad Santa.

If this is your kind of holiday celebration, you’re in luck. There are plenty of options.

Options galore

What’s amazing about Bad Santa is just how hilariously crude it is. While the ending shows some redeeming quality, the majority of the movie is Billy Bob Thornton testing the edges of what would make the worst possible mall Santa ever. But there are different levels to his depravity and insanity.

If you’re interested in the garden variety drunk, who tosses around bottles of alcohol into the windshields of cars parked in a mall parking lot, then try iTunes for a low-cost option. On the other hand, if you think it’s hilarious to watch a mall Santa “fornicate with a heavy-set woman in the big and tall dressing room,” then maybe try the Vudu option.

Maybe you’re more amused by a mall Santa only halfway in costume, eating a salad, and absolutely going berserk on a little kid and his mother because of lunch break protocol. If so, Amazon Prime has you covered. It’s free with your membership.

Finally, suppose you are interested in a late-night romp between a foul-mouthed Santa and a completely blind bartender with a very peculiar fetish. Bad Santa is the movie for you, and you can watch it on Google Play.

Long story short, Bad Santa is a hilarious romp through the anti-Christmas defamation of holiday spirit.

Next. Watching A Christmas Story is mandatory. dark

Maaaaaybe it’s not for everyone. It’s certainly not a family-oriented movie. For the select audience, however, Bad Santa is a hilarious addition to the Christmas movie queue. If you enjoy crass humor, give it a try this Christmas.
