As a longtime fan of both Rogen and Silverman I was genuinely looking forward to an adult holiday series in the style of the old Rankin Bass Christmas Claymation movies. I'd heard some initial negative feedback but just assumed that this was due to the typical audience that's not prepared for this type of humor in a traditionally kid friendly medium. Nope. This thing is offensively unfunny in every way. Not even an "it's so bad, it's good" cult future for this abomination. I rarely think about the "business side of entertainment" but I'd pay money to watch an entire documentary about how this series made it to HBO and the individual(s) that gave it the green light. I literally can't wrap my head around it, and it's going to keep me up at night. There has to be some form of blackmail involved here. Did Rogen kidnap the child of a prominent WarnerMedia executive? Does Silverman have compromising photos of Casey Bloys? The world may never know.

What you can be sure of is that any time you spend watching this series will be minutes of your life that you'll never get back.

I'm sitting here watching this show and almost at the end of the first episode and it dawns on me...I haven't even come close to laughing a single time. And I realize why...because Seth Rogan and Sarah Silverman just aren't funny anymore and worse than that...they don't know what funny is. They've been living in their rich privileged celebrity bubble for so long they're completely disconnected from their audience and are oblivious to it. None of this material is edgy, it hasn't been for over a decade, it's just the mainstream narrative that we already see every single day. And what's worse it's written in a way where they're clearly stroking their own egos, the show is basically "Look how awesome and progressive we are! Praise us!". All this show does is display Seth and Sarah's narcissism.

I have actually seen "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians," widely considered to be the worst film ever made. I actually liked it when I saw it, but I was six years old and can be forgiven. But "Santa Inc" is actually worse than my adult opinion of SCCTM. "Santa Inc" is just totally tone deaf. Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman just have no idea to whom their show is addressed. Kids will not get into it and adults will be alienated. Sorry, it really is as bad as they say it is. If nothing else, Rogen and Silverman have made something memorable. Not in a good way, alas.

Same jokes we have heard before, same attempt to be "edgy" with curse words, same attempt to child-like animation style that falls flat and same preachy hollywood message. This show was as funny as overflowing colostomy bag.

There is nothing new here, just more rich people complaining how unfair things are while collecting a nice fat paycheck. Congratulations Seth you managed to beat the Star Wars Christmas special as the worst special.

It has become self-evident that we are all witnesses to the creative decline of Seth Rogen and Sarah Silverman. I'm not a fan of Christmas films or shows at the best of times, but mocking Christmas' already cliched tropes with such disdain is so lazy, unwatchable and cringe.

No unjustified criticism or speculative conspiracy theories here, just a low-quality limited series. Emphasis on the 'limited'.

Santa Inc. Has become the laughing stock of internet television because of its crass political allegories, mean-spirited characters, non-existent humour and wasting its full-series structure as a means to waste its potentially potent message that anyone's capable of goodwill (but first they must have it).

This show might try to work on some levels beyond the animation, but there's nothing of real worth here, because the characters don't justify its eight half-hour episodes or using the viewers' time. This is a Christmas show done poorly, and devoid of any subversive charm; it succumbs to its own cynicism.

Santa Inc. Exists; and that's far too much for some of us who watched it.

How on earth did they think to green-light this? This is possible the worst thing I have seen in a long time. This is just sad and depressing. This shows how out of touch Hollywood can be with the audience thinking this was actually a good idea.

It's not provocative. It's not satirical. It's lacking comedy. Everything is forced... probably one of the worst shows I've seen. It actually works against itself. The delivery of the "comedy" lacks any dexterity and seems to have a single agenda, which isn't entertainment.

Im not going to go into all the obvious messaging in it I dont mind sticking your thumb in tradition Christmas is ripe for that kind of thing. This just IS NOT FUNNY IN ANY WAY. By 15 minutes in I wasn't paying attention anymore. Why is adult animation so hit or miss You got great ones in Big Mouth on netflix Ten year old Tom on hbo max, Bobs Burgers on fox a though there getting to the end of the line. Archer on FX (same thing as bobs burgers) But there has been 3 or 4 adult animations coming out in last couple months that have just been horrible and this is probably the worse. Fairfax ave from amazon, Adventure Beast netflix, Harper house parmount, The Prince hbo, America the motion picture netflix. These were all junk - this is like America the motion picture didnt make sense was stupid and it was all about saying dirty words and sex which if fine but AGAIN not funny at all. I finally gave up totally on it half way episode 3.

Who signed off on this horrible project? Not funny actually offensive ...Seth and Sarah need to get a hug from whoever made them so bitter and angry , truly a depressing effort...

This show is a hilarious antidote to the saccharine hallmark films that the holidays are known for.

The show is funny, and edgy. While still having a great heart and the kind of values.the season should be about.

I would guess most of the reviewers didn't even watch the show but just followed whatever talking head was leading the cancel culture mob.

If you like Robot Chicken or South Park, you'll like Santa Inc. I don't think it's as good as the previously mentioned shows, but it's still enjoyable.

I want to be 'Entertained' and can be on so many levels however this was not centered in entertainment yet seemingly an attack cloaked as comedy and, it wasn't even funny.

STICK with the premise this industry is about and that's 'Entertainment'. Not personal, spiritual or political bias that loses all basics... entertainment.

This is just an animated form of political pandering from two of the least funny so called "comedians" who somehow are still cast in stuff despite never playing an actual role that wasn't written as themselves.

It's nothing but taking jabs at white people, at men, at tradition, with covid virtue signaling mixed in. And all the points they try to make are of stuff that is objectively false. Full of toilet humor done poorly, crude personalities and angry vengeful activism.

The public disliked the pilot so much that HBO actually blocked all comments on the trailer and in case you were wondering, it has nearly 160 thousand dislikes and 3.1 thousand likes.

The only good thing is the animation was done well. Apart from that, this is just propaganda made by two of Hollywoods most mean and bigoted crybullies. So out of touch it's actually embarrassing.

I'm neither white, nor an American, nor a Christian. But this is plain horrible. What a cringe worthy thing! What is wrong with Hollywood seriously? How many more agenda based shows & movies would you make? I don't know why the writers put agenda before a good writing that would be loved by the audience. How you are making money is a wonder. I really hope that the studios like you go bankrupt so we don't have to waste our time on politics when we want entertainment.

I am flabbergasted at how awful this absolute garbage is. Silverman is an idiot. Rogen is incompetent too, sure, but this bad?? This bad??? Just wow. The worst show I've ever seen. All comments are off with the trailer on YouTube = HBO Max saying "we don't want to hear your feedback!" OK! You carry on losing money then. I'm all good.

"from the creators of SAUSAGE PARTY" Well yeah, it has the exact same problems as Sausage Party. The exact same problems here.

Problems like: using offensive humor to hide bad writing and cliche humor. Padding the screen time with dumb jokes and badly written moments.

Thinking that raunchy humor makes up for bad storytelling and awkward characterisation.

No. Sorry. Raunchy humor and raunchy animation doesn't make up for a bad story.

And after it is done being raunchy, it tries to be preachy, becoming hypocritical on itself. Doing play out cliche preachy moments or quips. Trying to have a "message" or trying to teach the audience a "lesson" but it doesn't work well. The show contradics itself often.

And while it is very raunchy and crass, doing jokes that would get other shows banned and cancelled, it also has sexist parts and scenes that if they were coming from anyone else would get them canceled.

I'm not sure why they contradict themselves and their messages when it is clearly very raunchy and overy offensive and even sexist (same problem Sausage party had) doing the exact same thing they were complaining about.

It reminds me a little bit of Team America a little bit in that sense.

And after watching it. It just feels like a waste if time. All they have is crass humor and not a lot of substance.

Also reminds me of the Happy time Murdersin that sense. Same problems.

Sounds like people are just riding the trend of hating, this show made it hard for me to turn off, the plot was great even if you think you know what's going to happen, I enjoyed the ride through the show, the animation and the characters were hilarious. It was pure entertainment, can't believe how serious everyone was taking the show. It was a raunchy Christmas themed show.. you guys need to go watch house of cards or something. Can't wait for the next season.

This shoe isn't crazy funny but it had its moments. The people giving it 1 star are almost exclusively right wingers who are crying about it being political after they've spent the last 5 years plus making everything as political and divisive as possible.

There were lots of low points, but there are a lot of funny lines and situations. Would you be missing out on a lot if you didn't watch? Na. Will you laugh? Yeah, probably.

This show sucks, but then again, so has Seth Rogan the last decade. Brutally bad writing. Seth needs to stick to pottery full time, at least he's giving some effort with that.

Lol Tried,I really tried I love clay nation and animation but this is beyond belief. Don't like to take sides when it comes to political entertainment,funny's, funny. But come on! The big revaluation that Santa could be a women has been done before in a great movie that was fun. Even the head elf trying to become Santa has been done. Guess I'm just a white supreme**t because I don't like the show. Lol Give it a try and decide for yourself. Hope you find more humor than I did. 🎄

I really don't get why Rogan gets greenlit for anything. It's a typical "insert sentence enhancing swear word" garbage show. It tries to be edgy by throwing in words like "holocaust" etc to create shocking humour but just falls utterly flat. Stay away!
