Norweigan Postal Service Trolls Trump Hard With Brilliant 'Angry White Man' Santa Commercial

Norweigan Postal Service Trolls Trump Hard With Brilliant 'Angry White Man' Santa Commercial

Norway's Postal Service—natively known as Posten Norge—has a new holiday ad featuring a belligerent Santa that sparked stateside buzz for its apparent dig at Donald Trump.

Wearing a red hat was not the only thing this Santa had in common with the expiring commander-in-chief.


In the Norwegian Post commercial, the cantankerous Santa bemoaned about his delivery method being on the brink of obsolescence.

He said in a therapy session it was no wonder why he felt like an "angry White man."

With an apparent nod to Trump's attempt to block funding to the U.S. Postal System ahead of the 2020 presidential election, "Santa" bashed Posten Norge and told his elvish therapist that:

"Expectations have shifted from simple chimney delivery to tracking numbers. "

A montage sequence showed Old Father Christmas telling an aide to angry tweet:

"Digital stamps are FAKE NEWS!"

Santa was also portrayed as a denier of climate change in a scene in which he dismissed rising temperatures at the North Pole as "completely natural."

In addition to his tantrums, Trump's other past transgressions—including accusations of sexual harassment—were not off limits for parodying.

But the commercial offered redemption in the spirit of the holidays.

In the final shot, Santa appeared to have a change of heart after he saw a bundle of letters addressed to him—presumably from children—and told the postal worker who efficiently handled the delivery, "Merry Christmas."

The ad concluded with a message from Posten Norge.

"We have delivered Christmas presents since 1647, but will never stop reinventing ourselves."

Twitter gave Posten's ad a thumbs up.






When it came to lifting our spirits this holiday season, Norway delivered first class.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
