    Honestly though the best part of his delivery is that he asked if there were still restraints on Santa, because everyone expected him to stab him right up to that moment, and then everyone breathed the sigh of relief like "oh he's just going to cut the restraints," but that diversion was a fake out and then hE DID STAB HIM and everyone's expectations were subverted TWICE and that's how it's done!!
