Bad Santa is just pops more. Its not the best Muppets film

 

[Chris]

I went with Muppets here, not the best Henson Christmas film either though since it shoulda been the otters

 

[Deezy]

I blame the spike in suicide rates during the holidays solely on the constant airing of Bad Santa everyday.

Muppets don't have a bodycount

 

[Moon Bird]

I swear people are voting for the wrong movie on purpose

 

[Keith]

Along with Takes Manhattan I'd say Muppets Christmas Carol is the best Muppets film.
