Fifteen years later and he still can't handle it
The Will Ferrell classic has just aired on ITV and we couldn't agree with this more...
Buddy's the guy that made us want our four main food groups to consist of: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup
It creates the narrative that Buddy is the way he is because he was ‘taken as a child’, ‘tortured’, ‘twisted' and 'broken'.
One Twitter user thinks he’s spotted a link that connects family favourite 'Elf' with cult comedy classic 'Step Brothers'.
She ordered the DVD from Amazon for her little girl but was shocked when she opened the package.
Daniel Tay, who played Buddy the Elf's brother Michael, was just 12 years old when the film came out in 2003 - and is now a tutor.
The Lawrence family, based in the US, have been replicating the tradition with their son Rockwell who has been the elf three years running.
Graham Norton was also joined by a Shirley Ballas and the moment was hilarious
The 2003 comedy beat out the likes of The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Santa Claus, A Christmas Carol and Deck The Halls
Definitely not an 'Elf 2' though...
Falling trees, dad dancing and crappy decorations.
