Buddy the Elf

Buddy the Elf is the protagonist of the 2003 film *Elf*, a human raised by elves at the North Pole who travels to New York City to find his biological father.

The character, played by Will Ferrell, has become a Christmas cultural touchstone, referenced for his childlike enthusiasm and quotable lines: He's giving off major Buddy the Elf energy right now.
