Pulp Santa

Pulp Santa is a TripTank festive sketch by Peter Hoare. It features the characters Santa Claus, Jimmy, Bobby and Prancer.

Story
Santa Claus arrives at Bobby and Jimmy's house, finding the milk and cookies left out for him as Bobby and Jimmy watch. However, as soon as he takes a bite from the cookie, he goes into diabetic shock. He then calls for Jimmy and Bobby to come downstairs to help him. Jimmy reaches for a syringe in Santa's pocket as Prancer the Reindeer shows up. He angrily instructs Jimmy to inject the insulin into Santa's chest to save him, or "Christmas is cancelled, forever".

However, Jimmy hesitates and Santa begins to froth at the mouth, as Prancer yells for him to do the job, since Prancer has hooves and can't do it himself. At this point Jimmy begins to cry.

Jimmy is persuaded by both Prancer and Bobby to save Santa. He shuts his eyes and jabs Santa with the insulin which saves him, much to the relief of Prancer. Santa returns to his usual jolly self, and puts candy canes in the family stockings. As Prancer and Santa leaves, Prancer warns Jimmy against giving Santa cookies in future. Jimmy and Bobby are still traumatised and Jimmy begins to cry.
