The setup

While Santa finishes his Christmas deliveries, his three elves keep wrecking Mrs. Claus's homecoming feast in the hope that she will finally punish them.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Back at the North Pole, Mrs. Claus is racing to finish a surprise feast before Santa returns, but the three elves she relies on have left the quiche raw. Rather than apologise, they beg for a punishment, and each time she gives them another simple task they bungle it on purpose and dress up their pleas in increasingly suggestive language that sails straight past her. A burnt quiche, a salad and a misplaced chocolate kiss later, a flustered Mrs. Claus hands the problem to Santa, whose arrival only excites the elves further - until he turns his attention to his wife and leaves the elves pleading to watch.

The funny people

Meet the cast. 5

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

You gave us one job, and we biffed it.

Good gouda! This quiche is burnt to Krampus!

  1. 00:02

    As Santa traveled the world, delivering toys to good children everywhere, Mrs. Claus was back at the North Pole preparing a surprise feast for his return.

  2. 00:12

    Mrs. Claus

    Oh, my goodness. It's almost daybreak. Where are those elves? They promised to put the Christmas quiche in the oven, and here it sits completely raw.

  3. 00:27

    Elf

    When you whistle, we appear. Your three most loyal elves are here.

  4. 00:33

    Elf

    What's up, Mrs. C?

  5. 00:35

    Mrs. Claus

    What's up? I'll tell you what's up. Santa is going to return any moment hungry as a polar bear. Why is this quiche uncooked?

  6. 00:44

    Elf

    Oh, no, we've really let you down.

  7. 00:47

    Elf

    Yeah, you gave us one job, and we biffed it. We biffed it big time. You must be in a white-hot rage right now. Yeah, I guess the only thing left to do now is punish us.

  8. 01:01

    Mrs. Claus

    Punish you? Don't be silly. What do you mean?

  9. 01:03

    Elf

    How will we ever learn unless you punish us? And our little bodies. Yeah, punish our smooth little bodies. Yeah, we need to be taught a lesson.

  10. 01:20

    Mrs. Claus

    Stop acting so silly. Now, when you hear this little oven timer go dingle, dingle, dingle, then turn the oven off. Now, please stay alert.

  11. 01:30

    Elf

    You got it, Mrs. C.

  12. 01:40

    Mrs. Claus

    Good gouda! This Keisha's burnt to crumb when you hear the timer go off.

  13. 01:47

    Elf

    Uh-oh, now Santa's meal is garbage all because of us. You must be really angry. Time for our punishment.

  14. 01:56

    Mrs. Claus

    Honestly, I am a bit angry.

  15. 01:59

    Elf

    Oh, why don't you funnel that anger right into our butts?

  16. 02:04

    Mrs. Claus

    What? Yeah.

  17. 02:06

    Elf

    Yeah, grab us by our little elf angles and just go nuts on our tender little booty butts.

  18. 02:13

    Elf

    Don't worry. He won't make any noise. Aww.

  19. 02:19

    Mrs. Claus

    Get serious. I can't take much more of this.

  20. 02:22

    Elf

    I know. You're miffed. That's why you've got to teach us a good lesson. Yeah. Send us to bed without any dinner. Or pants. Then our tiny privates will be out for all to see. Oh, and not our stinky little privates.

  21. 02:40

    Mrs. Claus

    Oh, boy. Boy, I guess I'll have to make a brunch salad.

  22. 02:44

    Elf

    I'll toss your salad for you.

  23. 02:49

    Elf

    Uh-oh, Miss Claus, what's this?

  24. 02:53

    Mrs. Claus

    Oh, it's a little Hershey's kiss. If you put this in the wrong way, it might never come out.

  25. 02:59

    Elf

    But it sure would teach us a lesson. Either way, I guess we should just try it.

  26. 03:08

    Mrs. Claus

    Heavens, I don't understand a word you silly elves are saying.

  27. 03:11

    Elf

    Oh, don't get so P.O.'d. Try getting pee on us.

  28. 03:17

    Elf

    I'll start putting towels down.

  29. 03:20

    Mrs. Claus

    All right, you're in trouble now. Santa's here, and I'm gonna let him deal with you.

  30. 03:26

    Elf

    Oh, yay! Finally. Big bossy daddy with snow on top coming to take care of business. Yeah. He's back to rule the North Hole. I mean, pole or hole.

  31. 03:38

    Elf

    Oh, I heard what you said. You said, whole. We're so bad puntershots.

  32. 03:45

    Mrs. Claus

    Good God.

  33. 03:47

    Santa Claus

    -"Ho, ho, ho! I've returned!"

  34. 03:50

    Elf

    -"Hi, Santa!" -"Hi, Santa!" We've been helping Mrs. Claus.

  35. 03:53

    Mrs. Claus

    Well, that's not true. They've been taunting me all morning.

  36. 03:57

    Santa Claus

    Well, how about I taunt you all afternoon?

  37. 03:59

    Mrs. Claus

    Oh, my. The salad can wait.

  38. 04:02

    Santa Claus

    Mm-hmm.

  39. 04:02

    Elf

    Wait, let us watch! Don't go! We want to see it! Wait, where'd the Hershey kiss go?

  40. 04:06

    Elf

    Oh, don't worry about it.

One more couldn’t hurt.
