With that out of the way, I put together a blog for people who prefer to read. Here are the theories discussed in my video.
Hermey in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is basically the OG misfit. While all the other elves are busy making toys and being jolly little worker bees, Hermey is like, "Nah, I don’t vibe with this whole 'toy-making' thing. You know what I wanna be? A dentist."
Yes, you heard that right—a dentist. In a world where dental hygiene is about as relevant as a snowblower in the tropics, Hermey dreams of fixing teeth instead of tinkering with toys. His boss is furious, the other elves side-eye him, and Hermey is left pondering life choices while humming "Silver and Gold."
But hey, Hermey isn't just about cavity-free living. He teams up with Rudolph (another misfit, obviously) to prove that being different is not only cool but also necessary to save Christmas. So, Hermey is like the tooth-fairy of the North Pole—except instead of collecting teeth, he wants to fix them. Because even Santa needs a good dentist, right?
1. A child made it to the North Pole and is being raised by elves
Imagine this: a baby sneaks onto Santa’s sleigh one Christmas Eve, and the elves are like, "Uh…guess we’re parents now?" Hermey is just a human kid who was yeeted into elf society, and that’s why he doesn’t "get" the whole toy-making gig. I mean, ever seen an elf with hair that perfectly quaffed? Yeah, neither have we.
2. Hermey is Santa's illegitimate child
Oooooh, spicy! This theory claims Santa was out here sneaking cookies at someone else’s house and left more than just presents behind. Hermey’s dreams of being a dentist? Classic "rebellious kid trying to impress absent dad" energy. Santa’s all about milk and cookies, and Hermey’s like, "Nah, Dad, we floss in this house."
3. Hermey is Santa and Mrs. Claus' real son
Plot twist: Hermey is legit Claus royalty, but the elves keep it on the down low because nepotism in toy manufacturing is a bad look. Mrs. Claus wanted her baby to follow in Santa’s footsteps, but Hermey’s over here like, "I don’t want to run Christmas, Mom—I want to clean teeth!" Basically, this is the elf version of rich kid drama.
4. Mrs. Claus and the Elf Boss had a baby
Oh, now we’re in full-on soap opera mode. The Elf Boss’ constant yelling at Hermey? A cover-up! He’s just a bitter dad trying to make sure no one connects the dots. Meanwhile, Mrs. Claus is like, "Don’t tell Santa, he’s fragile." Honestly, the Elf Boss is probably just mad Hermey got Mrs. Claus' good genes and not his own questionable beard potential.
5. Allegedly... The movie production said they wanted Hermey to look different from the other elves for story’s sake
Hermey isn’t part of some deep-rooted North Pole scandal; the animators just thought, “Let’s make this guy look different for the sake of the plot.” They gave him swoopy blonde hair, dreamy blue eyes, and zero resemblance to the other elves because aesthetic. In reality, Hermey is just your regular elf trying to pursue his dental dreams—but hey, a boring explanation never stopped a good conspiracy theory!
