He's not the Santa we deserve; he's the Santa we need.

[tbk]

who wouldn't want a Santa with particular set of skills.

[DukeDarkshadow]

Liam Neeson is possibly one of the only people alive that is more terrifying when he smiles than when he's pissed off.

[FoxtheImpersonator]

“He’s an eye in the sky, bringing swift judgement!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[cortster]

"...he also brings toys to children..."

"Not the naughty ones."

I fucking died.

[thefalconatorbp]

"Can I try something? and that's not a question."

[kristashafer]

Incredible how he makes the most innocent phrases sound intimidating.

[Heavenzvoice]

I just adore Liam... he smiled and then the next line was dead serious again! Love it...

[horriblemind]

"I have a very particular set of gifts..."

[vashtheelicit]

I heard all these lines will be in Taken 4: A Christmas Sleighing.

The Grinch got the following message on his voicemail:

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you want presents, I can tell you that I don't have any. But what I do have is a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare before Christmas for guys like you.
If you let Christmas go now, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you. I will not persue you.
But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will make my reindeer eat you alive."

"Good luck."

I love Mr Neeson. Never afraid to totally take the piss out of himself.🤣🤣🤣

[KingOfMadCows]

I've got a particular set of jingle bells, bells that I have acquired over a very long career.

[gregdavidl]

"So what do you want for Christmas, kid?"
"Nothing. Nothing at all. Sir"

[itravellight]

A great actor can pull off just about any part. Christmas will never be the same. Thanks, Liam and Stephen. Great skit!

[mooniejohnson]

Can Liam Neeson just play every role ever from now on?

[THECheFUR]

"Do you mind if i try something?...Thats not a question".

[geraldtrudeau]

2 years old, and still one of Liam's best bits. Priceless.

[zroffroad]

Leave it to Liam Neeson to make Santa sound threatning

[smileyguyfilms]

I just died when he said, "Not the naughty ones."
