So i havent seen any of these in a long time, can somebody back this up?

I cant find anything official online one way or another. I will say the version in Santa Claus is Comin to Town and Year Without a Santa Claus has a drastically different personality and appearance from the other Rankin/Bass specials, which is why I nominated him. Ive personally always thought they were different and the specials werent connected to each other.

I guess I just always had it in my head they were since there's a lot of little continuity shared between them all, like set design, some characters cross over, etc, and most appearances of Santa are also voiced by the same actor, Mickey Rooney.

It's up to you if you want to count them all the same!

So looking into it a bit more, I think the Rudolph v SCiCtT Santas are pretty distinct enough (different appearance, behavior, and voice actor) that I can see including them as separate entities

Yeah, the nice old man played by the guy who VA'd the Sultan from Aladdin.

I will upgrade my own nomination to my triple nom:

Chris (Fatman)

Santa's Slay
Noelle Kringle
Santa Claus (Elf)
Santa Claus (Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer)
The Santa who fell off the roof (The Santa Clause)

Arthur Claus (Arthur Christmas)

Dropping:

Recess Santa

Adding:
Arthur Claus (Arthur Christmas)
Noelle Kringle (Noelle)

which I believe brings us up to 49/50

Santa (Killers)

Assuming my count is right, that gives us a roster of the following 50! If you notice any mistakes let me know, otherwise I'll probably start this up just after Thanksgiving

Appreciate it!

In the meantime everyone, feel free to show off why people should vote for your picks!

Chiron beta prime and Joel the Christmas coal are the two best Christmas songs

Act accordingly

And so are Don't Shoot Me Santa and Dirt Sledding! (and the rest of the Killers Christmas songs too but Santa isn't in those ones)

Anyway, you should vote for the Santa Suit Maniac from Tales from the Crypt because he is one of the earliest and most influential uses of Santa has a horror/slasher figure and it's also just a delightfully macabre twist on the Santa formula.

if you've never watched a Team Starkid musical, you absolutely should go do that, but Black Friday is a holiday-themed horror comedy which opens its second act with an over-the-top parody of terrible made-for-tv Christmas movies

You will be singing that song to yourself for weeks.

For the Dresden Files nomination is it a spoiler to list it as Odin rather than Santa? Haven't read the books beyond the first two but from what I can tell Odin is the character and Kringle is one of the mantles he takes on?

This is correct. I wouldn't say it's that huge of a spoiler just something kind of neat and different that the universe does with Santa.

makes sense (I still really want to catch up on Dresden Files eventually)

listed it under Kringle since (from what I can tell) it goes by that over Santa more often (and anything to limit the number of straight Santa Clauses on the roster tbh)

Triple nominating Capitalist Santa from Hayate the Combat Butler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSPekLbid28

You're literally a day late for noms.

blame it on time zones lol

oh well

People like Johnbob and Snake555555555555555555555 should watch Fatman. Its Mel Gibson as Santa trying to survive against a hitman hired to kill him.

the important thing is I got to share the only clip of Hayate the Combat Butler that matters

I actually do need to watch that.

wait i thought aru got to 3 (as of post 97) rip

oh

you're right, it should've, no idea how I would've missed that.

looks like that will have to take the 50th spot instead, bumping out The Killers

Sorry to those that nominated The Killers (plum mostly), that was totally my fault, Aru should've been safe as of like 2 days ago

Clearly we should just expand the field to 51 Santas and boot an extra on the first day!

Or not. I don't have particularly strong feelings, I just gave them a third nom because I saw plum had offered a trade for them that wasn't accepted.

eh, just leave it out and have it be the bonus poll at the end

Oh damn it, fair's fair though.

51 person bracket obviously
