The Santa Inc. meme trend emerged following the release of the 2021 HBO Max adult animated series of the same name. Featuring the voices of Sarah Silverman and Seth Rogen, the show aimed to provide a subversive take on the North Pole's corporate hierarchy. However, it quickly became a lightning rod for internet discourse due to its extremely low audience scores on review platforms. Memes surrounding Santa Inc. typically range from critiques of the show's writing style to broader jokes about HR departments and the 'corporate-ification' of holiday traditions. Its legacy in meme culture is defined by the massive divide between critics and viewers, often used to symbolize unpopular media or forced edgy humor.
