Elf: It’s more than just a Will Ferrell movie that we conveniently like to pretend Zooey Deschanel isn’t in. It’s a movement. It’s a lifestyle. It’s a Christmas staple. No, seriously — I dare you to turn on USA Network anytime between Thanksgiving and Christmas and not see that shit playing on loop. There’s a reason Elf is so popular around this time of year, and it’s because, in addition to being hilarious, it’s also relatable AF. Well, parts of it anyway. I’ve compiled the realest and most relatable moments from Elf that can apply to your every day life into list format. You are welcome.
