Ah, holiday traditions. If one of yours involves the cheery Elf On The Shelf, we’ve rounded up a few ideas that will make it way more fun for you. Ours includes putting a DVD of Will Ferrell’s Elf on the mantel and seeing how long it takes someone to tell us Blu-Ray was better.
The conceit is that he or she is meant to keep kids on their best behavior during Christmas because it’s Santa’s eyes and ears. And you thought having an FBI guy living in your computer was bad.
Some people like to pose their elves doing cute things like riding reindeer or playing games. But, let’s be real. When the kids go to bed, this bored-to-tears elf gets into some trouble of it own. So, here’s a bunch of naughty Elf on the Shelf ideas to keep you entertained this holiday season.
Naughty Elf on the Shelf Ideas
1. Elf Prankster
Santa’s had this minty Oreo surprise coming for a long time. That’s what happens when you don’t pay your elves a living wage!
2. The Elf Poisoner
We’re sure he was just trying to get the party started early… right, Mr. Elf?
3. Feeding the Dinosaurs
He knows you’re not supposed to feed the velociraptors. Especially after midnight.
4. Hungover Elf
We’ve all been there. Just keep alternating the coffee and the coconut water, my friend.
5. Office Elf
Who used up all the printer paper copying their butt? And, don’t play coy with us, Barbie.
6. Lemonade Stand Elf
Warning: this may give your cousin some questionable ideas once the entrepreneurial bug hits this summer.
7. Elf On The Lam
He said he would blackmail you if you turned him in, so you better hope he doesn’t have any connections on the inside.
8. Bathroom Elf
And he left the seat up.
9. Overly Affectionate Elf
We’re sending this one straight to HR.
10. Elf On A Motorcycle
This is so inappropriate. Seriously, where are everyone’s helmets?
11. Snowman Killer
That’s a really nice snowman you built there. It would be a shame…if someone….ruined all your hard work.
12. Elf Orgy
He saw those Barbies that you bought for your niece and charmed them right out of the box. Phrasing?
13. Frat Boy Elf
If anyone tells you that you’re too old to take shots of jingle juice at the family holiday party, just blame this guy.
14. Horror Elf
You knew the elves were a little tight knit for coworkers, but you never expected a cult in your apartment. At least not this week.
15. College Dorm Elf
Anyone caught playing “Wonderwall” on an acoustic guitar will be immediately added to the naughty list.
16. Elf At The Strip Club
Santa sent this elf out for more wrapping paper but he spent all the money at the strip club. He says newspaper will do just fine as wrapping paper.
17. Stoned Elf
Mom loves him because he told her the green bean casserole was extra tasty this year.
When she's not behind the keyboard or holding a microphone in her hands, you can find Leah having deep philosophical conversations with her tiny dog, letting bags of kale go bad in her fridge while she goes out in search of happy-hour priced sushi, and watching so much true crime TV that she's pretty sure she could actually get away with murder at this point. Follow her on Twitter for the jokes and on Instagram for the "aesthetic."
