Damian from The Hebrew Hammer

You don't get more evil than Andy Dick's sociopath Santa in The Hebrew Hammer. He's a patricidal, anti-Semitic racist who runs a child-labor-fueled sweatshop and is abusive to his disabled lover. He also has a cocaine habit. The aptly-named Damian, "the heir to the red suit," becomes Santa after his peace-loving dad — a benevolent, jolly Santa Claus — meets a bloody death by reindeer. The new Santa takes after his grandfather, St. Nick the Nasty, and is determined to eliminate Chanukah. In pursuit of this goal, he tries to brainwash Jewish children by distributing copies of It's a Wonderful Life . It takes The Hebrew Hammer and the head of the Kwanzaa Liberation Front to get rid of this particularly bad Santa, who ends up in a "home for the religionally insane."
