Wanted to end the year on a whimsical Christmas tale. Moonfall next.

I like how surprisingly diverse Schwarzenegger was in his movie lineup. Like, in one moment, he could play an uncaring, unfeeling being attempting to be human, and in the next he could be the T800.

Fun Fact: The story is based on the 1980s shopping frenzy over the Cabbage Patch dolls. However, it ended up perfectly mimicking the Tickle Me Elmo craze of Christmas 1996.

"I work at the Post Office, so you know I'm not stable." -Sinbad That line is pure gold.

This movie is the epitome of the cast being so good that we ignore the cliche plot and bad writing and effects

We have entered an interesting point of history where the Nostalgia Critic is an important cultural touch stone critics have to reference when reviewing media.

“We see that they(retail employees) take avid enjoyment in the suffering of their customers.” I always knew Jingle All The Way was a documentary.

My favorite part about this movie was that sinbad's backstory was that when he was a kid, he wanted a gun for christmas, and someone else got the gun and they grew up successful, while sinbad got stuck being the mailman, so he doesn't want that to happen to his kid. Truly the greatest villain origin story of any christmas movie

This movie features what is surely one of Arnold's most impressive on-screen feats. His car runs out of gas on the Hennepin Avenue bridge, and he's able to push it all the way to Mickey's Diner in downtown Saint Paul twelve miles away. The movie implies that this did not take him very much time at all - perhaps 15 or 20 minutes. We cannot rule out the possibility that Arnie's character is another Terminator sent back in time to either protect or kill young Anakin Skywalker.

Honestly, Arnold was perfectly cast here. He knows his way around a character can't be bargained with, can't be reasoned with, doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear and absolutely will not stop, ever, until he fulfills his duty - no matter how much physical harm and collateral damage he leaves in his wake!

The fact there’s a Christmas film where a character arguably committed an act of domestic terrorism is kind of hilarious.

Weird how this movie keeps getting more appreciated as time goes on. Might be because it's from the age of movies where a movie could take itself 100% seriously without having to be meta about how ridiculous it is.

There is actually a post credit scene where the wife asks, “if you went through all that hell for Jaime, I wonder what you got me”

The comedic timing of this film is surprisingly timeless and never fails to make me laugh to this day. A true Christmas classic at it's finest.

That final ending clip really is my favorite part of the movie; the switcharoo of Sinbad bluffing that he's carrying around mail bombs that he mysteriously knows how to identify and hold on to, only to himself be disgusted when he discovers that someone actually sent a bomb through the mail. That and the Turboman theme is pretty dang great.

Rest in piece John Capitalism he surely was one of the humans of all time

5:00 - “This is a Christmas movie where everyone is an antagonist” - best ever summary of this mean-spirited movie.

I watch this movie even off of the Christmas season as a part of my "pre-9/11" nostalgia movie collection Also apparently Arnold Schwarzenegger really enjoyed filming this movie and hanging out at the Mall of America

I repeatedly quote “He got two!!!!” throughout the year. Best Arnold line ever

This and the live action Grinch movie are about the only Christmas movies that truly capture that raw, unfiltered feeling of chaos. Which makes them the only Christmas movies I can sit through and unironically enjoy.

“sinbad requiem” is genuinely so fucking raw

Legit my favorite Christmas movie, I've spent my life mastering my Arnold Schwarzenegger impression. It's a movie that to me is filled with nostalgia and just a lovable another of absurdity. Thank you

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my 11th grade honors history teacher for playing this movie the final day before Christmas break in 2019 and opening my eyes to this masterpiece. You a real one Mr. Hamlin

"This is a sick world with sick people!" Is what always pops into my mind from this movie.

As I get older and watch this movie I appreciate Sinbad more. I wish him a speedy recovery

when he said "its turboin time" I bawled my eyes out at the beauty of it

Feel like this Christmas movie becomes more infamous every year

If you think about it, this movie has a lot in common with The Oddyssey. Like Ulysses, Arnold wants to go back with his wife and son but fate puts every single obstacle possible in way, and like Penelope, Arnold's wife is pestered by a lecherous creep she has to politely but cleverly keep away from herself. Is really a tale old as time

When I used to work at Sherwin Williams, one of our sales reps came in and he looked EXACTLY like Sinbad from Jingle All The Way. I even changed his picture in my phone to Sinbad from this movie. Such great memories.

Christian Bale: I can play any role. Arnold: ...Christian Bale can play any role.

Fun fact this movie is the reason why Jake Lloyd was even cast in star wars And that’s because George Lucas wanted a experience actor

This movie never stops being great for my family all the scenes are surreal an iconic every time

Man it's amazing how many Christmas Classics the 90s gave us

I know that this movie isn't technically great or even good but its always had a special place in my heart growing up, my dad wasn't really around a lot growing up and when he was things weren't great so watching a movie was Arnold Schwarzenegger the biggest badass of all time, fighting tooth and nail just to give his son a special Christmas always made me feel warm inside

Ted is the rogue of the party. Except he's a rogue played by a player who really wanted to play the bard, but wasn't allowed to by the DM, because the last time he was the bard, he married the campaign's main villain.

"They take avid enjoyment in the suffering of their customers." As a retail employee, its the most accurate movie I've ever seen.

I unironically adore this movie.

Ah yes. The movie that gave us the unforgettable "Put that cookie down!" meme.

You have quickly become one of my favorite channels on KZfaq. Your editing is absolutely top notch and your commentary is surprisingly insightful. Fun fact: Arnold started doing comedies because he saw Ghostbusters and loved it. He literally said "I want to be a Ghostbuster!" I think it's wholesome that rather than a cynical ploy to make more money, Arnie's motivation was literally "I want to make people laugh the way others make me laugh."

The vibe of this movie feels like a hungover movie exec greenlit a script meant to be a parody and critical of consumerism, but through more booze and cocaine became oddly heartwarming and nostalgic.

The first time I ever heard of this movie was the screen rant pitch meeting… and I can’t believe they were actually able to undersell a movie because they made this amazing experience of Cinema sound lame. Its genuinely a good watch just because of its insanity. You can tell the writers were writing what they wanted to write for a Arnold comedy, not what would actually make a good movie.

As someone who works in hospitality, an industry very similar to retail, I can confirm that seeing a bitchy, needy or rude customer getting upset and helpless is better than an orgasm

6:09 Oh great, now I know where that cookie line is from now... Now is stuck in my head for some reason.

In my head cannon, Arnold’s character was officially cast as Turbo-Man, and is the longest running actor to play the character. Sinbad is cast as that brain guy, and the guy in the pink suit thing is kept on. They go on to make the most successful super hero trilogy of all time, being praised by critics and audiences alike. Each move is given full scores, five starts, 10/10, and 100% on every movie reviewing platform.

"I guess sometimes the greatest victories are just barely meeting the lowest of expectations" Holy shit, man. I wasn't expecting such depth from a review of a millennial holiday classic.

That moment when Sinbad body checks the Christmas present in the parade and yells, “OUTTA THE WAY, BOX!” ….. My sister and I thought that was the funniest shit we had ever seen when we were kids, and I honestly still laugh at it. Jingle All The Way is a great movie!

I was grinning my ass off all the way through this video. Great stuff and the much deserved digs at a certain critic of nostalgia were much appreciated

I need the people who made Violent Night to work their magic on this premise and ACTUALLY turn it into John Wick but it's black Friday shopping

The moment where Sinbad gave the cops and actual bomb used to crack me and my siblings up as kids. His reaction was perfect.🤣

I can understand why people dislike this film - but for me, it's one of my personal favourites just for how wacky, crazy & all-around fun it is.

I still quote Sinbad on the regular: "IT'S A SICK WORLD WE LIVIN' IN WITH SICK PEOPLE!!"

Being a Twin Cities native this movie always hits me right in the nostalgia feels. Since it was filmed on location, watching this movie is a bit like walking down memory lane. It’s like, “Oh yeah, the Mall of America used to look like that as a kid, didn’t it?”

8:32 the idea that Sinbad saw a package from Uncle Ted and just stored it for later use is hilarious though.

The coffeeshop scene in Heat pales to the meeting of the minds that is Sinbad and Arnie talking in a diner

i fucking love the whiplash this video gives. besides the absurd movie itself with literal murder at every corner, it constantly swaps into other genres like video game tier lists or sci-fi universe novellas. not to mention how the entire thing is formatted like a video game or novel essay where he dissects every major character/faction

Just love how the credits scene topped it all off with revealing that Arnold/Howard this whole time forgot a gift for his _W I F E!_

Someone should calculate how many laws Howard breaks in this one movie alone

I've always loved this movie for how well it captures pure unadulterated pre-2001 American culture.

"I'm gonna deck your halls bub" is my family's battle cry. We constantly quote this movie, December or not.

Highly recommend watching the after-credits scene. Easily the funniest part of the whole movie.

I will always love this movie in a nonironic way. It's simplistically funny in a way movies just aren't any more. It's also a sort of perfect time capsule of 90's tropes in media and the way we were starting to think about Christmas consumerism. I'm aware it's not actually "good". But I love it.

Man: "One thing we all agree on, is that once this season passes, none of us are ever going to think of these movies again until next November." Me, an Afro Canadian living in French Canada: **having PTSDs of 'Home Alone' 1 & 2 and other Christmas movies re-runs that my grown a&s little brother can't stop watching in February, March and freaking JULY**

“That’s so damn corny, AND I LOVE IT!”

I forgot how this movie was basically a live action cartoon. I remembered it being a goofy comedy, but dang it’s like Looney Tunes levels of nuttiness.

“Nobody likes you Booster” - Sinbad

I kinda love this movie, for all its flaws and...incomprehensible moments. Maybe with a few more rewrites it would've been a pretty smart satire of holiday commercialism, but would it really have been so memorable then? And frankly, the scenes of everyone LOSING THEIR MINDS over trying to get their hands on a Turboman doll are only SLIGHTLY crazier than the crushes to get Cabbage Patch Dolls, Tickle me Elmos, Skylanders, Hatchimals, or whatever the fad toy of the year was.

I loved this movie as a kid. We grew up very poor but my dad was my absolute hero

I saw this movie for the first time in Culinary Arts class and laughed so hard I cried. Still my favorite Christmas movie!

I'm the exact same way with this movie popping into my head during all seasons. Especially, "It really was a bomb? This is a sick world we're living in with sick people!" I think of that pretty much any time there's a gag explosion on screen.

This is unironically one of the best depictions of Minnesota in any piece of media.

"Equivalent to Church Scene of KINGSMEN" DAMN THAT'S SO ACCURATE😂😂😂👍🏻

THE BEST Christmas movie. Nobody can change my mind.

Christmas movies are a sad reminder that there's no Christmas love for all of us in the southern hemisphere :')

11:06 - That Santa warehouse is now a restaurant and wedding venue. It's quite lovely.

I still remember in 4th grade when my teacher put this on before the break. Thanks Mrs. Nelson, you’re a champ

This was Arnie's best comedy. Twins comes in second.

Probably one of my personal Christmas favorites ever since I heard that Infamous cookie line

I've been looking for this movie all. My. Life.

I suddenly and desperately want to see an Avenger's Endgame style clash between all my childhood Christmas movies. A grand, jolly, and very bloody dash to retrieve the most powerful weapon in the Christmas multiverse: the cotter pin that sheared off the Polar Express's throttle.

Die Hard is the one true Christmas Movie

Jingle all the way is one of my favorite Christmas movies when compared to the rest. With every other Christmas movie, There’s a sense of seasonal monotony and tiredness, yeah home alone is an ok movie, But it’s tired, You watch it every year and the story blends together. But there’s a sense of pure chaos and identity that underpins jingle all the way that I’ve always appreciated. This movie adds a bit of pulp to what would have otherwise been a very basic Christmas movie

3:16 "The kid's a Marvel fan." *zooms into blurry Captain America* Legendary

God I love this movie. I still scream "put that cookie down! Now!" At my friends and family.

Thanks for reminding me that this movie exists. As far as "modern" Christmas movies go, I think it scratches the itch just right.

3:52 This film taking place in the same universe as The Santa Clause is now officially my headcanon.

Holy crap, I was just telling my girlfriend how much I loved this movie as a kid and it's such a comfort film now.

I just really like Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, he's like if comfort food was an actor

When I was little, this was one of my absolute favorite Christmas movies. In fact, it made me really want a Turbo Man of my own, to the point where cried and begged for my parents to give me one. Eventually, my dad fished out an old Red Power Ranger toy he used to have, and that was enough to shut me up. (Apparently the giant T-Rex head on his chest didn't tip me off that it wasn't a Turbo Man.) So I have Jingle All the Way to thank for introducing me to Power Rangers, which in turn introduced me to the wonderful world of Tokusatsu. Thanks, Howard Langston!

I watched this movie for the first time last year, and it's pretty much the best Christmas movie ever made

I remember unpacking Turbo Man action figures about a year ago when I worked at Wal-Mart. I couldn't believe they were real. I wish I bought one.

I remember watching this all the time as a kid lmao Thank you PointlessHub, I feel ill and not great today, so this is nice to watch while resting

Having only ever seen this movie while in a public school, I can definitively say it was the most surreal, dreadful, and bewildering experience a film has ever given me.

My favorite Arnold quote comes from this movie, "Put down the cookie!"

This is a movie that knows what it is. It’s a Christmas comedy starring Arnold. It never tries to be anything more and does what it does well. That may sound like a criticism but it’s not. It’s just a good movie that doesn’t bog itself down with trying to be great.

This is the point in which I KNEW you grew up in the Midwest. Minnesota native, and that movie was the absolute GOAT of Christmas movies in my household. My dad had to take us to the gym that the karate scene was filmed in.

भगवान के निराकार होने के बारे में विश्व ईसाई धर्म का विश्वास पवित्र बाईबल का खंडन करता है। उत्पत्ति में, सृष्टि रचना में, छठे दिन, भगवान ने मनुष्यों को अपने ही स्वरूप में बनाया।

I remember watching this movie over Christmas in Kuwait. The sheer mysticism and confusion that befell those that had never seen this movie before created a core memory.

I unironically love this movie. It is way too funny

i love this video so much the way you quantify every character and threat in this film is immaculate

I remember seeing this in theaters because my orthodontist had a holiday event for all the clients/their children. They rented out a whole theater and we got to see this movie. They were cool.
