I haven't even heard of this. Shitty promotion and the fact that it's probably terrible are the real reasons it's not making any money. I checked out the trailer because I thought the comment section would be hilarious but to no ones surprise, its been disabled and Im upset I missed out.

Hell, even if he was right, why were they making a movie that required the patronage of White Supremacists to succeed?

EDIT: spelling

Eh its him and Sarah Silverman doing a Christmas thing

I just have zero interest

I love Silverman but hate Christmas--I tried to watch but it was so so bad that I had to stop after five minutes. But maybe I'm biased...

Yeah, that would be odd if two Jewish comedians made a show with a white supremacist audience in mind...


---

maybe he just isn't as funny as he thinks

I mean, if it's at 2% for one episode, it probably is people just buttmad about the subject matter.

---

Did he really think just racists didn't like that piece of trash? Fucking hell I hate Seth Rogan this loser gets to play Donkey Kong? The hell is the matter with Hollywood?

Nah with reviewers they judge based off the first 6 episodes, then get the rest after that.

imo, he got lucky with superbad and pineapple express, was able to network super well and parlay his early success into more movies that have just been terrible or mediocre at best since then.

Zach and Miri Make a Porno was a good movie too

---

aha i like seth rogan comedy very edgy. like how he talk about consuming drug product and how people eat vegetable sometimes.

---

I think he's making a joke. It's along the lines of "a dick says what?" said really fast. You have now locked the other person into being unable to respond or they are a dick. Or in this case a white supremacist.

Humor

---

His take is not surprising, considering its Seth Rogan.

Its just easier to blame someone or something else, rather than accepting that you and your work isnt good. I mean Elizabeth Banks blamed men for her Charlies Angels reboot not doing well. This is Hollywood.

---

Unfortunately a lot of failed creators get to use this excuse because "woke" shows actually have been review bombed by bigoted people before.

If you don't know anything about whether the show is good or bad and someone says this there's no way to tell if they're lying.

The 3% is on audience score. Professional reviewers are seperated into the tomatometer category.

Am I so out of touch?

No it's the children who are wrong?

---

Alt Left Seth Rogan

---

There are people who did review bomb this. All the big conservative youtube channels were whining about this show before it came out. So how much of the score is real and how much is from the conservative outrage is hard to say

Two things can be true at the same time..

The right leaning Youtubers and twitters who complain about minorities and women were complaining about this show being too woke and other jive.

And also it can look like shit, in general .


---

I watched a couple episodes last night and its very meh. Im a huge fan of cussing but it seemed like they forced a lot of it and it just didnt seem right.

---

So like. All the episodes are out? Imbd only has a couple of hundred people giving it a good review and it clearly got reverse review bombed.

I'm sorry but if its that low rated its shit.

The show might just suck ass, this is not his first time making something that just failed to most people.

---

3% audience score is a review bomb. There's no way it's that bad.

---

I've literally heard nothing good about this show. I've only seen the trailer and yeah it doesnt look good. Trailers can be recieving but theres nothing that makes me want to watch even if I personally like the concept of Rankin bass for adults.

---

They were pointing out anti semitic youtube comments on the trailer for it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was review bombed.

You should watch it and find out. That way you can tell us if it's that bad or not.

---

Santa Inc. That's gotta be the most generic name for a movie about Santa being replaced.

It's on HBO Max so I'll have to go to my parents to watch it but I probably will at some point later this month.

---

Eh. As far as animated shows go, he's got Invincible to fall back on.

---

If memory serves, I saw the beginning of a trailer for this that said "from the makers of Sausage Party"

That's all I needed to see to give it a hard pass

---

The second I saw it on HBO Max and it's Seth Rogan and Sarah Silverman in an animated show about a girl elf that wants to be the first female Santa, I knew it would be hot garbage. The subject matter is going to draw ire, and I doubt those two are funny enough to pull it off. It would appear that's a correct assumption

---

What a weird premise for a topic.

A show hasnt failed by having a negative audience score of all things on rottentomatoes. It hasnt even failed with a negative critics score.

My lack of forgivness to Rogan for Green horent aside, it looks crass without being funny to anyone but people that don't get saying things like "white peoples' time is over" comes off as wanton cruelty to the rest of us.

what does this even mean? he's complaining that they're review bombing his show because of principles / politics

It's stupid, but cruelty??

---

I really like Rogen and this premise looks fun, but ignoring the pandering and just going off the jokes in the trailer this looks like an unfunny mess

There wasnt one joke in there I havent heard a million times before

From the tweet hes saying it got shitty reviews because something about the show pissed off white supremacists.

---

I watched part of it on Friday. Its kinda funny. Just Christmas characters saying inappropriate things

---

Not big on Rogan or Silverman. Theyre both pretty obnoxious, even as comedians go.

I can't remember what it was called, but there was a Christmas movie I watched last year with the same plot. One of Santa's female employees challenges tradition by become a lady Santa. So it's a familiar message, and it's been told the same way already.

---

Seth Rogen stopped being funny when he stopped being the "weed guy".

I'm inclined to go with this.

Given the attention outrage youtubers gave it, it is possible their followers review bombed it.

But it also looks like a shitty show in general.

I'm sure the show sucks but those numbers only happen with review bombs.

Reminds me of a documentary about Fauci that has similar ratings.

Like the critic score is around average but the audience score is like 2% and then the dipshit salt righters conclude that critics are out of touch.

Like really? Do you fuckers really think only 2% of people view Fauci favorably? Get out of your bubble.

Seth Rogan got review bombed and the Fauci documentary got review bombed for the same reason. The snowflakes can't handle anyone who speaks out against dear leader.

I was looking up the movie on YouTube and all I could find were the usual alt-right quartering wannabes shitting on the movie so Rogan is probably right.

Now the movie may also just be bad but there's no denying that tens of thousands of white supremacists are pissed off.

---

Shit show.
Shit excuse.
Shit person.

---

He has a 3% on Rotton Tomatoes because white supremacists review bombed it?

This is Trump levels of "I didn't lose."

They idea that white supremacists are conspiring to review bomb Seth Rogan is funnier than anything Seth Rogan has ever done.
