[@HapneyHo]

The fact they kept the situation on a professional level throughout the ordeal speaks volumes on the skill and professionalism of this news anchor crew team.

[@dannyhaych]

This news anchor crew team is really exceptional at maintaining total profesionalism. A round of applause for the news anchor crew team.

[@HapneyHo]

@@dannyhaych Its really what the world needs right now in these devastatingly festive and magical times

[@Chillaxorita]

I mean sure, there were no casualties, but it was pretty pathetic how they let him just walk out with all the hostages.

[@andrewsisk718]

Best news anchor crew team in the biz as far as I’m concerned. (Biz is short for business)

[@jahazbrooga309]

As a customs officer, Santa's rule breaking really upsets me.

[@stevenmcd4741]

Thankfully Santa’s vision is based on movement. So glad that everyone is safe.

[@TheAuntyDonnaChannel]

Stay vigilant. He will be back!

[@pleasestopsubscribingtomyc3360]

that's why you need to be asleep

[@KristopherGates]

It's not as simple as that. Santatologists have long suspected that he can detect cheer but the mechanisms are not well understood.

[@lyndonlives638]

@@KristopherGates I once took a 'personality test' from one of those damn Santatologists and now they won't stop sending me Christmas junk mail...even when I move house they still find me!

[@axldave9940]

​@@KristopherGates His "Ho Ho Ho" call is actually a form of echolocation. He can pick up the subtle vibrations of cheer with his beard.

[@claytonandres1194]

I love it when the news gets a bit naughty, bit cheeky, all in good fun, all in good fun

So impressive that Aunty Donna got the real Santa Claus to feature in their video.

[@heather19515]

can't fool me. aunty donna isnt real

[@fanreymysterio619]

Did you hear he enjoys a life of polyamory?

[@GunsofZapata]

Haven't they done well

[@ThomasSawyers]

​@@fanreymysterio619well he does have three ho's

[@antpopple]

They're obviously on his nice list

[@vinnipolicastro5683]

I like that Zach went for the Chris Pratt in Jurassic World defensive pose when Santa entered the studio.

[@Rhams3y]

I love the concept of having a Christmas themed skit all about some mundane Christmas thing. Maybe next year you guys can expand this and do one on some type of favorite Christmas dessert.

[@jessp2317]

😂 ffs pudding

[@YatuXu]

I feel like that might be milking it a bit

[@drestarman]

​@@YatuXujust a lil bit more

[@ptip06]

​@@YatuXu Nothing like a little milk with your pud

[@joemcalister7105]

No fucking way they do this. Get real and grow the fuck up! Edit: I just opened their channel page to peruse their catalog of comedy sketches, skits, and doodallies. It appears I owe you an apology for my previous comment. I'm very sorry! I hope you enjoy some of your favourite Christmas dessert even after you think you're full to the brim after your Christmas din dins but then you remember you always have a little bit of room for sweet treats traditionally consumed of the day of the birth of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

[@shadowstriker84]

Love how they treat Santa like he’s an eldritch monster

[@couldntbecorn]

this is exactly what its like to watch the news on Christmas eve

[@TobbeTheDude]

I love sketch. Sketchy sketch sketch. Here it goes down, down into my belly.

[@ericpender2280]

Cum!

[@tombrewin485]

you got sketch'd!

[@andrewj1754]

Num num in your tum tum

[@charleswood2066]

Ah guys I made too much sketch. I'm a big fuck head.

[@ibcamwhobu]

You could add this video and "Books" to a new playlist called "Tense situations resolved by the aggressor walking away for no reason." I genuinely love these.

[@sploofmcsterra4786]

Now I want a news skit where mark is not just the weatherman but every single on-field reporter

[@ChefBrownSauce]

Australian news presenters trying to convince you they have a soul and can get a little cheeky on Christmas Eve is the best part of every year

[@BearInTheWoods]

This is the kind of ground breaking news reporting that the world needs right now - bipartisan, sticking to the facts, and being professional at all times is so important.

[@WindexChugger]

Loved the subtle Santa accidentally pulling the "push" door on the way out.

[@ItsKemphe]

I can’t believe Mick Molloy has been Santa this whole time 🤯 🎅

[@charleswood2066]

You've got it wrong there, friend, it's actually Mick Molloy has been Santa this whole time.

[@charleswood2066]

What was I saying there? Did I mean to say Santa has been Mick Molloy this whole time? Was I referencing another skit? ?????

[@AlastairjCarruthers]

I love how Zach consistently mantains that gormless expression throughout. Anyway, time to get on with watching this video.

[@katiehorneshaw995]

Hahaha! The twist! So many laughs

[@taylorlove7684]

i would have loved this sketch but as a professional kid i unfortunately had to go to bed so i didnt see it

[@Harry-x3v]

Love that cheeky face broden makes. Gets me every time.

[@austinburrows9742]

“Who wants a bike” is my new favourite Santa quote.

[@akinlikesfilms960]

the first time you watch it’s like they’re playing into the whole ‘Santa is real’ angle and just playing it up for the wholesomeness and then it gets nuts but the second time it’s like you notice all the subtle cues that like no they are dead serious about Santa being real, and actually try to pretend to stay calm but they’re actually terrified the entire time 😂 then Santa comes! 😂😂

[@Sumschmuck]

I interned at a news station on Christmas Eve once, and it was by far the scariest moment of my life. They briefed us earlier before broadcasting, and we were given M16s. Yet, by the time Santa had arrived, he had already killed 3 of the blackwater mercenaries we had hired as exterior security.

[@lafiki999]

Zach's "okay, okay" fucking got me man

[@alexanderriku9716]

Zach's "Okay....okay..." was perfect!

[@StevieWicks]

There are at least 3 strong sketch ideas there alone that most comedy groups would stretch to 12-15 mins of good comedy, but I'm loving the concentrated brilliance in 4 mins. Never knew which way it was going, lol!

[@HoneyPiss]

"Hey How Good's Christmas!?" - Santa

[@Puffleman24]

Ah, brings back fond memories of watching the annual hostage negotiations over a cheeky bit of pud :')

[@itsquodo131]

Best part about this sketch is Perth having a top of 20 during December. Good one boys!

[@Cloudman06]

Classic Australians, thinking Christmas is in the summer 😂

[@colinstorm2892]

The transition from the weather report to the hostage situation is great lmao

[@RanUlfran]

That touch of Santa pulling an (unclearly marked) push door was just perfect

[@alex6472]

The thought that Santa has to enter our atmosphere and is therefore an alien is amazing

[@oliverholm3973]

Santa is basically a wild animal that is fun for the whole family when he's in his enclosure, but once he got out, the tamers are trying to keep everyone calm to prevent Santa from getting territorial and mauling the kids in legal self-defence

[@Footlong_plays]

Only Aunty Donna can get one of the biggest Aussie comedians, put them in an indistinguishable costume, and make no mention of who they are.

[@SeanTheDiscoNinja]

Broden has that Front Bar connect.

[@ambrose7196]

So who's in the Santa Claus outfit?

[@DarkHedx]

​@@ambrose7196Mick Molloy I think?

[@chs9999]

Now that Santa has left it's far far worse because WE DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS

[@ganelon76]

This is amazing. I’m only seconds into this and it’s pure joy. I’m gonna get my kids to watch this with me at the same time to experience the same joy as I. 0:38

[@humanrich]

Love that I could recognise Molloy from a single “Ho.”

[@waggafletcher]

I saw the Molloy gut.

[@GrizzlyNightman]

I find it so funny that they added chapters

[@JimBobLandi]

The calm these two keep while under such duress is incredible 💕 this why I tune in to channel 3 news over other broadcasters every day of the week

[@MattUniandwork]

Aunty Donna is my favourite Christmas based sketch group

[@henryhargreaves7232]

cant belive santa (who is poly) didn't give zach a bike after offering it. think zach has been a naughty boy this year.

[@jooree7696]

North poly

[@GrizzlyNightman]

Never seen a Christmas Miracle much like the time when Santa entered the channel 3 news teams building. Such a magical moment

[@jpoggi9081]

I can’t wait to be Watching Watching The News on Christmas Eve on Christmas Eve

[@Craig-lk1sp]

Zack moving his pen onto his paper when the real fucking santa claus appears is true professionalism. I don't think I could have done that myself.

[@lucasprobably]

i dont think i've ever watched the news on xmas eve, so for all I know this is totally accurate

[@BadgerOfTheSea]

"we'll see you in the new year" so there is no news for at least six whole days?

[@idkhbtfm]

i'm just surprised santa had time to visit the studio in between delivering presents and cucking with elves

[@unsweetenedfruit]

Santa always has time for a quick goon sesh with the boys

[@VideoCrate]

Excuse me... cucking with elves?

[@JamieCosta]

So good guys 😂 thank you. We need it

[@sploofmcsterra4786]

I love that you just know the skit's premise in the first 2 seconds

[@A·c·h·i·l·l·l·e·s·Last·Stand]

This is a magnificent documentary on Australian history

[@oldbroken1]

I watched this with a bit of Christmas Pud, I had a little room left.

[@xanderkhan73]

Hope the team received counselling after this scary incident - keep safe boys

[@laurenk8309]

The most unbelievable part of this is Melbourne being 14 degrees on Christmas Day

[@ganelon76]

Santa is in the building! I was worried at first about the hostage thing but it was a joke. Lol. 2:27

[@LuKKeYBoY]

I'd be scared too if I saw Mick Molloy as Santa enter the building

[@charleswood2066]

Tsk don't tell but it was actually Santa as Mick Molloy. Shh.

[@dannywhite132]

News just in! Santa is now crossing over New York .... Omg...he hit the south tower

[@jennifernorman9655]

Oh.. cheeses!

Very scary, glad the boys got out without scratches.

good, this is my 'watching things about xmas' for the year. sure glad i got that out of the way so early

[@revb14n]

just brilliant

[@jadenwhitford7245]

I love every project that they work on, they are all hilarious geniuses. But I would give away all my Christmas pud for a season 2

[@TheMapexTheory]

This is my favorite sketch ever.

[@joemarchant1992]

2:52 remain calm. Don't entertain the his jolly behaviour and you might live to see another day. Or get a a bike, who tf knows 🤷‍♂️

[@bendawson511]

Shocking footage, glad to see the boys make it out alive after that maniac broke in. ❤ & 🙏 for you all

[@rolling_get]

Years of training has paid off - A run in with Santa himself and you live to tell the tale. Some miracles just happen. Some miracles are man made. Well done, boys.

[@lifonhenderson9662]

They were definitely shitscared when Santa arrived!

[@SorryForTheClarification]

Touch and go there for a moment. Glad the boys are safe.

[@captainsnizz]

Zach's lil bit of typing on an imaginary computer at the end is a masterpiece

Yea, this skit was like listening to dubstep where I was waiting for the weird sh/t to drop

[@DimitriFernando89]

Jolly ol' Saint Mick

[@calebsmith9773]

had to do a double take

😂😂

[@MegaMEGATRUCK]

They're so proud of each bit that they cut the presenter off just to get to the next one

[@ladyhartofficial]

Absolutely screaming laughing 😂😂

[@absurdist5134]

In today's struggling economy, being naughty just before Christmas can reduce your heating bill by providing you a free lump of Coal. Thanks Santa!

[@joshua.garner]

But why is this so funny! I couldn’t stop laughing, but I kind of don’t understand why. Haha

[@schboove2668]

Santa said “haur haur haur.”

[@robertjackson8246]

That could have gone so many different ways. The fact that it went no way at all? I appreciate that.

[@exunderscorejai]

Such calmness under extreme duress. If ever I’m in a plane crash I hope you guys are the pilots

[@KrazeBoyy]

Aunty Donna and Mick Molloy, couldn't ask for a better duo, or quad or whatever the fuck.

[@peterhoffmann502]

I'd shit myself if Mick Molloy entered the room in a santa costume too

[@TechySpeaking]

That transition from cheerful to an active shooter situation is unfortunately so realistic.

[@rayzor2121]

That was jolly good fun boys

[@Swollenfish]

That this sketch got progressively darker is fucking golden and peak Aunty Donna.

[@gdubs7001]

I think Santa would have been chill if there was a Christmas pud around.

[@jennifernorman9655]

Just a little bit.

[@simonjoseph1062]

I love their reaction when he actually comes in. Reminds me of my children when they meet characters from T V in "real life" they are huge and very frightening.

[@pillarofdavidson]

Aww gee! I hope Santa left enough room for Christmas Pud!

[@Luminousreign]

Australia celebrating Christmas the same day as everyone else will never not be funny to me. it is warm outside what the heck

[@efangrim8470]

All I want for Christmas is for Santa to tell me the story of Sir Francis Drake

[@lnewman3031]

That was actually a real close one. Well done boys

[@Aritikos]

Same reaction if Santa walked into my house

[@damo8791]

i dont know why but mick shouting SANTA just felt so unhinged lmao

That’s Zach from Leguizamarama!

[@r4z0r84]

How fast would Santa have to go to be able to deliver a single present to each home in the world, and of course stopping for a few seconds to deliver, the geforces would be insane, Santa must be a robot 😂

[@GarryAndrews_]

I love how Zach has become all three of the Aunty Donna lads.

[@TheSilentHamish]

You’ve worked with Tony Martin and now Mick Molloy. Next step; write a sketch where you trick, Mick and Tony into appearing in the same sketch at the same time. Let’s see if you can heal their friendship after their falling out over the DVD extras of the film, BoyTown.

[@Hostipal]

Thank God for the timecodes, I wouldn't have wanted to miss the bit where Santa comes

[@lokreth1992]

wouldnt mind some pud right about now. the side of custard is made from eggs, have you had em? ooh fook they r sick man

[@KallanPhillips]

[@rohanhunter2175]

Broden should wear glasses more in sketches. It gives him a totally different vibe. Much like Superman/Clark Kent, he was completely unrecognisable as the character Andrew Stevenson
