Crude or Profane Language A dozen mild profanities (“h—,” “d–n”) join such expressions as “friggin,” “pi–ed,” “sucked,” “son of a nutcracker,” “up yours” and “oh my g–.”
Infrequent swearing/potty language includes "pissed," "pee," "hell," "damn," "crap," and "up yours." Comedy at the expense of a little person who is called an elf and takes offense.
Instead of saying something a lot more offensive, the phrase “son of a nutcracker” is used in its place. It's just silly enough to get a laugh when delivered by Ferrell, and of course, the mild double entendre of "nutcracker" adds to the humor.

It's a cute stuffed elf that you're supposed to hide around the house, on your mantle or shelf. This elf then “sees” if the kids in the house behave or not and it “reports” to Santa Claus about your kids so they will get the proper amount of presents.
What do we know about how, why and when children stop believing in Santa? The average age that children stop believing in Santa is eight. There's a huge amount of variation though — some kids will report it around four or five, some are closer to 12 or 13. So the average is eight, but each child's journey is different.
This actually makes Buddy a fair amount younger than Will Ferrell himself, who was 35 years old at the time of Elf's filming, and 36 when the movie was released to theaters.
Home Alone has a strong cast, a lot of slapstick comedy, and some positive and important messages. But because of its violence, coarse language and some sexual references, it isn't suitable for children under 7 years and we recommend parental guidance for children aged up to 10 years.
Born December 18th, Buddy was adopted by elves and Santa Claus as a baby, so he never got to discover how exactly to be human. He developed certain skills like quickly decorating a large space, creating toys in short amounts of time and generally being a good person.

However, everyone remembers the scene in which Buddy, disappointed at his low output making etch-a-sketches for Santa at the North Pole, calls himself a "cotton-headed ninny muggins." The horror of his coworkers reveals that this is one of the worst things an elf can say, even though it sounds like an insult from a ...
"Ass" "Hell" "Damn" are used including mild insults. Marv says the s word when he drops his boot very subtle and only noticeable with subtitles. Cinemax content advisory: rated PG for violence (V), adult language (AL), and adult content (AC).
Elves originated in the 1500s and were often seen to be immortal and youthful beings who were small in stature. However, they could also be malevolent and could cause sickness to people and animals. In some cultures, they were considered to be full of mischief and would play wicked tricks.
It was reported that Will was offered a whopping $29million to appear in a sequel but he still refused to budge for the massive pay cheque. Will, who has had previous success with Anchorman 2, Daddy's Home 2 and Zoolander 2, said it would be 'pathetic' to try and remake Elf.
Will Ferrell actually ate Buddy's super-sweet meals. It would be hard to fake those shots. Warner Bros. Buddy eats plenty of sugary concoctions throughout the movie, but his most memorable meal may be the spaghetti he tops with marshmallows, Hershey's syrup, M&M's, and chocolate Pop-Tarts.
Although viewers might expect Ferrell was digitally added to these scenes where he towers over his elf family, friends, and coworkers, the striking result was actually accomplished with practical effects, creating sets that skewed characters' sizes and filming from crafty angles.
The truth is, he's not a person at all – he's an idea. Get them to think of all those presents Santa gave them over the years. Explain that you actually bought those yourself and that Santa Claus is the idea of giving for the sake of giving, without thanks or acknowledgement.
While we're agnostic about whether people should include Santa in their holiday traditions — that's for each family to decide — our empirically informed view is that learning the truth about Santa Claus does not have to be a distressing experience and can even be a positive one.
And the first question after that, in the “People also ask” section, is: “Is Santa real or is it your parents?” The top response comes from the motherhood website Her View From Home. “The answer is no. We are not Santa. There is no one, single Santa.
What happens if a parent accidentally touches the elf?
According to the official "Elf on the Shelf" website, "Christmas magic is very fragile, and if scout elves are touched they may lose their magic." It doesn't specify that this only applies to kids, so we're guessing this applies to any humans.
Children who participate in this activity gleefully anticipate finding their elf each morning and seeing just what he's been up to while they were fast asleep. There is only one rule according to the story: if the child touches the elf, it will lose its magic.
