It's not that Santa isn't real. As a brilliant white child, Santa has never missed a visit. He even comes on my birthday! It's just that he doesn't like visiting the poor. You never clean your chimneys, and some of you are so poor you don't even have homes! Tell me how to expect him to visit your home when it's filled with health hazards. Don't be selfish, you little toad! Please say that in progressively higher tones.
“Let me tell you something. In poverty, you realize Santa isn’t real very quickly.” I feel this in my soul Papa! I always wondered how he came up through the floor vents in our mobile homes heat pump.
yeah ...when your parents tell you they have no money for presents you would look pretty stupid , if you sit in front of the window and wait for santa to come :D :D
My grandfather played a mall Santa for over a decade. He had the perfect Santa-look: big white beard, big red nose and cheeks, and a big gut. It also helped that he was an actor/extra in many big budget films. He ended up doing a ton of stock Santa photos that I still see pop up in various media to this day.
I like how people still talk about quanza as if it's a legitimate holiday lmao. It was created by a black supremacist, in the 60s or 70s who was convicted of kidnapping and torture hahaha we wuz kangz. All these black supremacy groups and several other things like affirmative action, yet yt pipo are still oppressors who ben da opps sense day one.
As an Austrian the Krampus tradition is still strong. I remember being a kid in Vienna and my granddad dressed up as Nikolaus at the 6th of December. But before he came in an gave us presents we heard the rattling of chains at our door, making us believe that the Krampus was standing right in front of our flat because we were naughty. Maybe that's were my anxiety disorder started Haha
As a German I can say, the Krampus is absolutely terrifying. Every year the Krampus comes from house to house and drag the children out off their bedrooms and scare the living shit out of them by putting them into a big bag and screaming at them💀merry Christmas🎄
Ja alter und dann das sie denen immer die beine brechen oder sie anzünden echt nervig. Hab schon paar mal die bullerei gerufen wegen ruhe störung. Können die kinder nicht leise brennen ? Frech sowas. Warscheinlich wurden sie darum geholt
Mall Santas are still a thing, at least in my area. I had to look it up, cuz it def felt like a fading memory, but I also don't have kids. If I had kids, I'd definitely keep the tradition
@@twoshirts1842 given he talks about things like "seeing Paranormal activity as a kid" and the like + openly making fun of the fact that he's said it enough for it to be listed on his wikipedia page in the Swifty response vid... yeah he's not. It started as a joke about how he's out of touch with modern culture. But it's funny so lets just roll with it.
The "in poverty you find out Santa isnt real ALOT sooner" hits hard but in a good way. Even the years we had almost no gifts were still great holidays and i definitely feel like im less materialistic for it. Certainly less than some of my friends who were better off
Have kids and the holidays become fun again. I’m on my second year as a father and this year was a blast just watching her experience all the lights and the holiday traditions. Kids renew all of the wonder a lot of people are missing in their lives. They can be a pain but that is a small blip to all the awesome moments they give you.
17:50 - 19:01 I'm sad they left out that time St. Nicholas got so annoyed debating that he hit Arius in the face during the Council of Nicaea. One of my favorite weird church history stories. Also the one where he saves 3 children that were pickled by a cannibal, which led to his association with protecting children.
ye,saint nicholas is the protector of sailors and children (orthodox) and thats propably why papa meat got him confused with saint bill (saint vasilios) who was the one that went around givin gifts to kids.
@@84gantaSt. Nicholas is a pre-schism saint, so catholic beliefs/legends about him are the same. And yeah, he's the patron saint of children for us, among other associations like the 3 spheres at pawn-shops being a reference to one of his legends (possibly the dowry one?). I'll have to check my copy of the Golden Legend for the story about dowry though, because that was my first time hearing it. Or at the very least i forgot about it.
"I came here to give out presents and punch heretics, and I'm all out of presents." Came to the comments specifically to see if anyone mentioned this story. Probably not true, but man I hope it is.
My favorite is Discworld's fictional interpretation where it was a paleolithic ice age boar that early man worshipped as a harbinger of heat giving dawn. As man developed the sensation of warmth became associated with love empathy and good will the god morphed with these perceptions into the Hog Father. A porcine humanoid minor deity that brings the midwinter dawns through the giving of gifts. Each gift representing the heat of morning dawn so children and future generations don't die of cold before spring. Equally wholesome and metal at the same time
my grandpa would tell us the hungarian version of krampus where essentially if I was bad on Christmas, I would be kidnapped in the middle of the night and be forced to work in the mines of hell harvesting coal for naughty children.
In the Netherlands we also celebrated santa clause, but its really different. He also has a beard and red hat, but it looks different. And it has also been told he’d put you in his sack and take you back to spain, to be one of his ‘elves’ if you were naughty, and hit you with his wand
I think this is my favorite TH-camr The channel has: Good entertainment Good voice acting Good quality Good quantity Good character Good humor Good analyst Good editor Good topics Good exotic personality
My favorite part of this video was when Hunter correctly pronounced "typify" and the guy behind the camera "corrects" him. Also, you need to make a second video to cover Zwarte Piet, one of Santa's beloved helpers.
I have a new book called Fright Before Christmas that's all about the creatures surrounding the Christmas lore. There's so many of them! From Black Pete, to Krampus and Belsnickle, to a freaking cannibal butcher from France (Pere Fouttard) that kidnaps naughty kids and chops them into sausage meat
Thank you for covering the history of santa. And I love your critique as well. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year's, and I wish to extend it to all of your staff who helped you made this episode as well.
The art school student described is my sister, What's really sad is we basically cant go to our extended families Christmas get togethers anymore because of her(I'm sure you can guess why)
The art school girl thing was so on point. Once spoke to one who went on about how horrible her dad was so I responded "Yeah I can relate, my wife hasn't even met my mom" she then proceeded to berate me for the next five minutes about how I should love my mom cause she's my mom lmao
idk, i’d definitely say hunter is a plump, cheerful, rosey cheeked man. seems kinda familiar…listen all i’m saying is i’ve never seen them in the same room together..
There was a magical moment, I wish I could have screen recorded it. At 15:33 TH-cam interrupted this meat session with two adds. The last one was for Taylor Swift’s cult tour. Right when it ended it cut to 15:34 of papa looking down laughing, like he was laughing at the add. It was perfectly timed. You would have had to been there for it.
I remember going to Breakfast with Santa at department store 55 years ago. Thanks for giving us another long video that's always a blast. Merry Christmas Hunter - Cheers!!
To be honest I'm not in a big holidays these days but I do try to just be happy but it's hard when u are homeless and u don't really have people to go to...but I did enjoy the holidays growing up and I do wish going back those days... And unfortunately my mom told me how Santa was not real when we were fighting so there was a deeper cut of that wound... I grew up believing Santa a little too much... 😅 Mom finally told me around 14? But yeah I love Santa and that stuff... But I don't feel joy of it but I try to give joy for others earlier I gave someone pizza stuff like that... Honestly true Christmas is giving not taking. everyone have a great night or day and hope Christmas is happy and jolly AND I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS PAPA MEAT 🍖
I'm from Iceland and we do the Yule lads during Christmas as well as Santa. And when I was a really young child my mom who is half Swiss told me of Krampus. My childhood Christmases were horrific yet magical 😅
Scientology is more legitimate than quanza. Quanza was created by a black supremacist convicted of kidnapping and torture. Anyone who celebrates it, is a black supremacist and racist and should be watched out for so they don't attack you. As we can see in several videos of random attacks happening by blacks who aren't supremacist so the ones who are will be even more dangerous. Black supremacy is the biggest threat to America right now
I went to the same Mall that you're talking about at 9:55 ; you mentioned it, and then I remembered you were from the KC area, and a flood of memories of those memorizing air balloons came back to me. I can't remember exactly which mall it was, but I do remember it taking a long, painful decline until it was essentially a liminal space that was still open to the public. I'm sure the other people from the area that are watching this video also feel the same way; your references to our area (ect, Liberty MO, my home town), add a whole new layer to your videos! Merry crimis, cheers
I've recently started working very long night shifts doing highway closures for road resurfacing which means I'm away from home alot during the week and it's been difficult adjusting, being away from my Mrs and little boy who's 2 for so long during the weeks been real tough. I've binged so much of your content on this channel though, which I've only really just found although I've watched all of your canyon stuff. Thanks for taking my mind off of being home sick and missing my family while I'm away from home so much man. Appreciate the content. 👌🏻
I found this to be very interesting, just to see the origins of we're he came from. Although my family and I don't really celebrate Christmas, instead we celebrate the Winter Solstice, and instead of Santa, we have the Solstice Wizard, which is basically a replacement for Santa that my dad thought up, and is heavily based of Thomas Nast's visual of Santa. But still neat to learn a little more of old Saint Nicholas, as well as Krampus.
Just want to let you know that I’m both a swiftie and a fan of yours, Mr meat. Your Taylor video was both hilarious and spooky AND I think you’re handsome.
This was a cool synopsis. Another cool potential inspiration for santa that's worth looking at is the prechristian slavic figure marozko, and as a side note gryla, the yule lads, and the yule cat are pretty fun too.
The .05 seconds that “Need To” plays when he’s talking about the girls who don’t like the holidays really hit me. I’m like extremely sad because my gf of 4 years broke up with me
I could imagine that whole period of inventing the concept of toys being made by elves; someone was trying to pitch the concept of them being made by dwarves or gnomes (you know from those Tolkien books) and when it finally went to the higher ups someone who didn't know mystical creatures was like, "they're made by elves, like in the those Tolkien books".
The article mentions that Woden/Oden were a partial inspiration for father charismas, and according to Tolkien he based Gandalf off of one of the traditional depictions of Woden/Oden. So hunter isn't actually that far off when says tolkien took influence from santa for his characters. It's just not as direct as he thinks, lol.
Holy shit. The ballistics required to launch Santa from East to the West is insane. The launch crater would look like something out of DBZ. I'm pretty sure it would cause tornados and tsunamis up and down the coast line.
I love that 2015 movie Krampus so much I bought a 7ft tall replica animatronic of him. He's next to my bed, so I wake up to hime every morning all year round, and he watches over me while I sleep
I pointed out a Wheelchair Santa at Target to my Mom and was genuinely surprised and happy to see a Wheelchair Santa. But my Mom Wasn’t. She Flipped her shit infront of half the stores workers.
Tolkien took most of his influence from Nordic mythology, which is also one of the inspirations for the modern depiction of Santa, among many other things, such as the name of Wednesday (wodin’s day). In fact, Tolkien directly lifted character names from the Norse mythos, in which Gandalf and the line of Durin such as Thror were originally the names of dwarves in Norse mythology
i find that funny, back then if you where a bad poor kid you could heat your home for a while, if you where a good poor kid you got a wood train or doll. to heat your home for a day.
when you showed a picture of sinterklaas when you talked about other cultures adapting santa in their own cultures I was VERY skeptical of where this was going but I'm glad I stuck with it. good video!
Krampus is still a tradition in my counrty. On 6th of December, you gotta clean your boot and put it in the window. Santa gets you chocolate if you were good, and coal from Krampus and a small broom-like object if naughty.
When hunter started talking about Sinterklaas, I was anxiously waiting for him to mention Zwarte Piet (or Black Pete), who only VERY RECENTLY has been removed from the Sinterklaas celebration. 15:58 shows Black Pete, I'll let you guess which one he is.
P.S. He still hasn't entirely been removed from the celebration, some people are still very adamant about how Black Pete's looks. The idea is that they're black from soot due to crawling through chimneys, which doesn't explain their cherry red lips, big golden earrings, and frizzy hair, but ok. Truth was that it would work as an easy disguise so kids wouldn't recognize the kid from a block away, who would pose as Black Pete. These days most people agree that it is no longer appropriate and the Dutch have collectively decided that he will be replaced with "Roetveegpiet", who simply have smudges of soot on their faces, instead of the 'traditional' all-out blackface.
Fun fact about the krampus creature from the movie....Weta workshop in Australia , installed a camera system in the creature suite so the actor could see
I didn't think you'd touch on Odin's depiction. Good on you, it's clear that you've gone DEEP into this as people have been trying to bury things like that
Dude. You forgot the best stuff about shamanic traditions, fly agaric mushrooms eaten by reindeer and tripping as well as igloos to come down into rather than chimneys.

Santa eats cookies and milk? I thought he liked ramen and Mountain Dew???

Cool fact; it is believed that Saint Nicolas punched a guy in the face during the council of Nicaea because they said “Jesus isn’t literally God”

Although my family and I don't really celebrate Christmas, instead we celebrate the Winter Solstice, and instead of Santa, we have the Solstice Wizard, which is basically a replacement for Santa that my dad thought up, and is heavily based of Thomas Nast's visual of Santa.
But still neat to learn a little more of old Saint Nicholas, as well as Krampus.
Damn. What camera do you use? It's so clear.
Don't you feel jolly? Don't you feel merry? Don't you feel a little festive?
Just want to let you know that I’m both a swiftie and a fan of yours, Mr meat. Your Taylor video was both hilarious and spooky AND I think you’re handsome.
yeah but have you seen Krampus tho????
Paid comment
She’ll have your head for this.
I love how so many of yall are now part of his audience lmao
I'm queer, but I love his cute brown curls.
This was a cool synopsis. Another cool potential inspiration for santa that's worth looking at is the prechristian slavic figure marozko, and as a side note gryla, the yule lads, and the yule cat are pretty fun too.
0:20 that girl was hot
💀
The .05 seconds that “Need To” plays when he’s talking about the girls who don’t like the holidays really hit me. I’m like extremely sad because my gf of 4 years broke up with me
I could imagine that whole period of inventing the concept of toys being made by elves; someone was trying to pitch the concept of them being made by dwarves or gnomes (you know from those Tolkien books) and when it finally went to the higher ups someone who didn't know mystical creatures was like, "they're made by elves, like in the those Tolkien books".
The article mentions that Woden/Oden were a partial inspiration for father charismas, and according to Tolkien he based Gandalf off of one of the traditional depictions of Woden/Oden.
So hunter isn't actually that far off when says tolkien took influence from santa for his characters. It's just not as direct as he thinks, lol.
They still are, except it's in China
You’re looking good dude! Also hair is fantastically maintained good shit lol. We have love for you, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas!🎄
Holy shit. The ballistics required to launch Santa from East to the West is insane. The launch crater would look like something out of DBZ. I'm pretty sure it would cause tornados and tsunamis up and down the coast line.
The number of times I've heard BMTH in your videos tells me your editor has good taste in music.
The sheer quality and quantity of content you put out puts most other TH-camrs to shame (probably because most other TH-camrs don't know how to work).
I love that 2015 movie Krampus so much I bought a 7ft tall replica animatronic of him.
He's next to my bed, so I wake up to hime every morning all year round, and he watches over me while I sleep
I pointed out a Wheelchair Santa at Target to my Mom and was genuinely surprised and happy to see a Wheelchair Santa. But my Mom Wasn’t. She Flipped her shit infront of half the stores workers.
“THAT IS NOT SANTA!” Lmao, chill mom.
That's... kind of disgusting NGL.
@@mirrorv.m You mean that super woke "Santa" that I can't even talk about without being censured? Yeah... definitely not Santa...
Papa is the annoying art school girl 😂
"In porverty you realize santa isn't real real fucking fast" can testify
Tolkien took most of his influence from Nordic mythology, which is also one of the inspirations for the modern depiction of Santa, among many other things, such as the name of Wednesday (wodin’s day). In fact, Tolkien directly lifted character names from the Norse mythos, in which Gandalf and the line of Durin such as Thror were originally the names of dwarves in Norse mythology
"In poverty, you realize Santa is not real very quickly." Straight FACTS.
i find that funny, back then if you where a bad poor kid you could heat your home for a while, if you where a good poor kid you got a wood train or doll. to heat your home for a day.
Man you know how to bring me out of my depression. One of the best channels to make me laugh and just feel better. Thanks Papa.
Doing the timeline backwards was a bold, and confusing move.
No mention of St. Nicholas resurrecting a bunch of street orphans after finding their stewed remains in a cauldron? That was his best move.
2:18 noice sangriasugarbog sample bro
I see we have another Bogghead in thr comments. Fuck yeah
when you showed a picture of sinterklaas when you talked about other cultures adapting santa in their own cultures I was VERY skeptical of where this was going but I'm glad I stuck with it. good video!
Krampus is still a tradition in my counrty. On 6th of December, you gotta clean your boot and put it in the window. Santa gets you chocolate if you were good, and coal from Krampus and a small broom-like object if naughty.
Appreciate that subtle Bring Me the Horizon at 13:35. The editing on papa's videos can't be matched.
Those art school girls you described at the beginning sound like adults who never let go of their teenage angst
Got that old school Coca-Cola branded snow globe from the '60s. One of my favorite holiday decorations, Coke Santa is best Santa.
holidays for me are tough right now bc my dad passed away in september. these videos make me happy, i love u papa meat
My 4 year old got to tell Santa in person what she wanted and it was so awesome ❤❤
“Clause’s immortality was earned” is the crazy thing 😂😂
Wheelchair Santa will be suing all chimney owners for their lack of ADA compliance
I got potato for Christmas, and I was told to be thankful because it's hard to get potato in winter. We were good kids and always shared.
When hunter started talking about Sinterklaas, I was anxiously waiting for him to mention Zwarte Piet (or Black Pete), who only VERY RECENTLY has been removed from the Sinterklaas celebration. 15:58 shows Black Pete, I'll let you guess which one he is.
P.S. He still hasn't entirely been removed from the celebration, some people are still very adamant about how Black Pete's looks. The idea is that they're black from soot due to crawling through chimneys, which doesn't explain their cherry red lips, big golden earrings, and frizzy hair, but ok. Truth was that it would work as an easy disguise so kids wouldn't recognize the kid from a block away, who would pose as Black Pete.
These days most people agree that it is no longer appropriate and the Dutch have collectively decided that he will be replaced with "Roetveegpiet", who simply have smudges of soot on their faces, instead of the 'traditional' all-out blackface.
This vid hit me right in my poverty ridden little heart, god bless my parents
Fun fact about the krampus creature from the movie....Weta workshop in Australia , installed a camera system in the creature suite so the actor could see
2:20 yo hunter in the good ol days was built DIFFERENT
My history teacher every year goes to different places around my town and dresses up as santa and takes pictures with kids and dogs 😎
0:18 for those wondering, that sounded like Pinegrove - Need 2
7:14 it’s funny you mention this, a sequel series that you mention goes over literally that
0:18 need 2 playing in the back was so real.
I didn't think you'd touch on Odin's depiction. Good on you, it's clear that you've gone DEEP into this as people have been trying to bury things like that
When each era is introduced in this video, the songs that play all hit different
16:50 I like the green suit, I like to think he switches it up every year or so from red to green
Not sure if you read comments but do a video on Krampus. That was a good one. Also love the videos dude
Dude. You forgot the best stuff about shamanic traditions, fly agaric mushrooms eaten by reindeer and tripping as well as igloos to come down into rather than chimneys.
It wasn't the joy on my son's face opening his presents, but the Eyewitness call back that made my Christmas.
4:43 Run, Opera, run !!! 😂👍
