BAD SANTA 2 Red Band Trailer Is Just As Bad (As In, NSFW) As You Hoped

Billy Bob Thornton is back in Bad Santa 2 as a burglar shopping mall Santa so awful it’s kind of hard to believe he didn’t keel over and die in the thirteen years since the last movie came out. Somehow that did not happen and his character lives on to star in a whole new movie, which now has a very NSFW red band trailer:

I’m not really part of the cult of folks who adore the first Bad Santa, so it’s hard for me to tell if this is a continuation of what they admire about that film or just a crass hodgepodge of bad behavior and F-bombs being dropped for their own sake. I will say that the Kathy Bates bit is pretty funny, though.

Bad Santa 2 comes out November 23, at which time you and your beloved family members and join together and be enveloped by its strong message of fellowship, love and unity.
