Pretty simple really. Which is the better/funnier movie?

Oddly enough I just watched Bad Santa for the first time tonight. I swear I’ve tried in the past but must have fallen asleep. Hardest I’ve laughed in awhile
That said Christmas Vacation is probably top 5 funniest all time for me. Maybe it suffers from familiarity these days and I feel like im going through the motions but it’s the perfect encapsulation of midwestern Christmas

The more I try and tell you why Vacation is better the more I realize you may be on to something. I personally find Bad Santa to be pretty vulgar and cruel for a "Christmas movie" so it takes a hit for me but thats my own bias.
Christmas Vacation - the only real knock I can find is that we've all seen it ~ 100 times in our lives
Voted Christmas Vacation but Bad Santa deserves more love than it gets.

Wow. Tough question. Gotta be Christmas Vacation. It really just represents the spirit of Christmas for me. When I close my eyes, Bad Santa doesn't truly represent Christmas, it represents just an amazing raunchy comedy I could watch 100 times. Both GREAT movies, just more sentimental feelings with Clark and his Christmas adventures. Imo

Bad Santa is hilarious. Christmas Vacation is on the Mount Rushmore of Christmas movies.

Both great movies, but the answer remains Die Hard.

The question was specifically asking about CHRISTMAS movies. Please stay on topic.

I just scrolled back up to find that you beat me to it!
But that’s kinda the point, right? Sooooo many great lines!

Vacation, for sure.
I don’t think I’d have Bad Santa in my top 5.

Die Hard takes place during Christmas. Opening scene with Argyle picking up John McClane, he throws in a cassette of Run DMC’s Christmas in Hollis. One of my favorite Christmas songs actually.
Fwiw, it’s on our yearly watch list at Christmas.

Hastur and precious few others aside, I'm not angry at this forum. Just highly disappointed.

"Can I refill your egg nog for ya? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?"
-Xmas Vacation but think back to when Clark basically kills Aunt Edna and her dog in Vacation

Christmas Vacation is the better movie. I laughed harder at Bad Santa though. A Bad Santa quote has a special place in our office though. Students can ask the instructors a lot of dumb questions. So behind closed doors in the instructor office we get a lot of "are you F***ing with me?" venting.

I need to watch this. My wife and I just got into a discussion last night while cooking dinner (and had Home Alone on in the background) that there are no good recent Christmas movies. We always watch Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, Christmas Story, Miracle on 34th St., Jingle All the Way etc. but when's the last true Christmas movie that came out and was good enough to add to the yearly rewatch list? Elf is the most recent we could think of.
There is quite the mountain to climb to get into the yearly rotation. There are already a lot that are so good it's tough to break into that top rotation.

Christmas Vacation is a classic. Clark G is a legend. Quaid is great as well.
I love Billy Bob, but Bad Santa isn't even on my radar in terms of top Christmas movies (or Billy Bob movies, for that matter).

one of the lines that is easy to miss in the Wal Mart scene-
"youir company the one that killed all them people in India not too long ago?"
"No- we missed out on that one"

Ahhh, Todd and Margo… the “ I don’t know Maaargo” line is used by my entire family fairly often when I think about it….the key is to try and sound just like Todd
