Mercedes Santa Claus Ad

Hey, I thought Santa Claus ran a non-profit enterprise! But with all those collectable Mercedes Benzes, I’d say someone was skimming something somewhere. Or does Santa sneak out with a car every time he leaves gifts at the Mercedes Benz headquarters? Or could he possibly simply “forget” to deliver these gifts to rich guys, redistributing some of the wealth back to himself? (He probably paints them all red afterwards so nobody will recognize them later! And notice that he has a hidden secret passage to get into this garage, so either he’s not supposed to have them, or he doesn’t want the elves going for joy rides.)

Oh, I’m just kidding, because it’s obvious that Mercedes leaves the cars out for him in lieu of milk & cookies. But how come he can’t get flying cars? He’s Santa Claus, for God’s sake! And who’s driving the silver cars? The reindeer? That sounds dangerous!

And without flying cars, how’s he supposed to deliver presents with all the ice melting around the North Pole? Or is Mercedes trying to trick him into cracking through the ice and sinking into the sea so Jack Skellington can do Christmas this year? (I knew it!)

Here’s the Christmasy car commercial:
