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
Posten/Vimeo

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.

Model Accuses Fashion Brand Of Using AI To Recreate Her Looks For Ad Instead Of Hiring Her

There used to be laws in place for someone's likeness being used without their consent, and most certainly if their likeness was being used in an exploitative way for profit.

But now with the rise of AI-generated photographs, advertisements, and other digital products, the lines seem to have become muddied between the illegal stealing of someone's likeness and AI "inspiration."

Even though tensions are high, and the pressure they're feeling may be unrealistic for any one person to take, that doesn't give them the right to mistreat people who do not want to sign up or want to cancel.
