Consumer Alert: Stores are flooded with counterfeit versions of the infamous Elf on the Shelf, the doll that observes and reports bad behavior. Remember that only the genuine Elf on the Shelf provides your home with the decoration, surveillance and informant services your home needs this holiday season. Beware of (wait for it) knock offs.

That, um, erm, “elf”, needs to knock it off. Literally. He left 3 penguins on the shelf. What a slacker.
Reminds of Stripes when my mom would put cards up on top of the TV cabinet. He’d hop up there and knock them off one by one.
Have to side with the cat on this one. Snitches are really getting out of hand with every Tom, Dick, Harry and Elf trying to hoover up your data. Fight the power!
At least the tree is still standing.
Also what self-respecting cat wouldn’t do that? Those elves were asking for it.
Not quite “Violent Night” 2 but I’d watch it on a loop.
