This skit was so bad. It had the potential to be super funny, but they just went with, "Millennial yuppies are too reysist to let their kids take pictures with a black Santa." The 'Amazon Go' skit from 2 years ago had the same premise and was much funnier. Even the "Grandpa's Magic Car" skit from this same show had the same premise and was funnier.
@@bibsythecottonelf7147 if you’ve watched SNL every week for years and years you know that the majority of the child extras ALWAYS over act little New York kids in the audition circuit
No lie! This happened when I was a kid at my dad’s workplace. Every year they would have a Santa but one year they brought out two Santa’s. Everyone went to the white Santa. So his workplace learned from this and the following year, they put up partitions so you wouldn’t know which Santa they were going to see. The next year, there was no Santa.
Oh I am worse. At an auction in a February I bought a table full of xmas stuff for $2 that had a plastic tree. That was about 10 years ago. I still use that tree.
@@materialgrl2000 I mean the situation they set up is super uncomfortable and unnecessarily awkward, that ridiculousness is kind of the point. To be fair I have a hard time choosing between open cashiers or barber seats, I always feel guilty for the one I don't pick 🙈
Everybody is rightfully pointing out how good the first kid's expressions were, so I'd like to bring your attention to the kid at 3:05, she also had adorable expressions.
Okay, SNL: Read the room here. You have to make a skit - do it by next week, please - that is all about the first little girl because she is great, and pair it with Arab Santa, who in seconds totally sold this skit.
Do you? Because arabic social media is filled with posts about how it's haram to celebrate it. Heck, most people don't even know when Christmas actually is.
I mean there are christian arabs, its not like christmas is a complete unknown in the arab world. Also fun fact many eastern sects of christianity have their christmas in january rather than december
Right⁉️ Aside from his monologue (which was just ok), it seemed like he wasn't there all week and literally walked in at the last minute and phoned that shit in hard (while also forgetting his glasses)
@@anadraham2995 honestly it feels like this has been the case with all the professional comedian hosts this season. There were allstars like Bill Burr and John Mulaney and they just.. didn't deliver. Like they were just there for the paycheck. Such a shame.
I’m actually surprised a variation of this W verse B Santa concept wasn’t done before the in previous 49 SNL years. That’s been an issue with mall Santa’s in the past two decades, it’s been occasionally making the news.
To be clear: are you saying that malls will get two santas (one black, one white) and make parents choose OR are you saying that sometimes, the mall Santa isn’t white, leading to outrage that winds up in the news?
@ it really was… also his gf was Asian. And he didn’t want to pay the donation fee. He angrily stormed out and drove away in a nice BMW lol Southern California jerks in a nutshell
Imagine being someone so outraged by an employee of a pet store playing a fictional character 😂 that's actually absurd, I hope he didn't take it to heart!
@@user-dn6fw1ss1c my coworker laughed it off thankfully cause they guy was comically rude. He didn’t even want to be Santa but he was the best fit for it lol since we didn’t get an outside person we had to use our own employees. We also had an older lady coworker play Santa during some shifts (the beard in the costume worked well lol)
Eitherway it looks bad 0:58 If they choose black santa , it would look like they just went with him to not seem racist and if they choose white Santa , they gonna look racist.
Arab Santa would be the most accurate. St. Nicholas was Turkish, after all. I personally like Santa #3. But that's mostly because I think Jane Wickline is cute.
They didn’t use any black customers because it would’ve destroyed their propaganda. Also, it’s a little contradictory to openly guilt people about race and then make fun of the ones who do feel guilty, and enable you. Like, they’re the only reason you still think this shit is okay to do. Most of us would call the guy racist and walk out immediately.
My mother worked at a company in the 1972 and they had a white Santa clause and a black Santa clause. Black and white children only wanted to sit on white Santa clause. I was 9 and I felt sorry for the black Santa clause. I’m 61 and I still laugh about it.
I know this is all a joke and most commenters are probably big fans of the show, but as a former huge fan I got to say, this entire episode is awful. They can't resist poking at something divisive in every single skit - everything is meant to be some degree of identity shock. Just a complete lack of objective comedic creativity
I've never seen someone go sooooo out of their way to look funky. She's funny aF though. I can't imagine if she had her own variety show, how absurdly bizarre it would be...
Arab Santa needs to be a full skit 😂 🔥😅 💥
Yes!
Absolutely!!!
Please
Omg that would be hysterical 😅
Arab is the new black ;)
Arab Santa smoking and in a t shirt -- LOL
That ain't a t-shirt

Arab Santa is still way more welcoming than Krampus.
The first baby was a tour de force with those facial expressions. She better act without words!
I had to rewatch, I didn’t pay any attention to them
Yeah she was perfect with "Well, this is awkward" without saying a word.
Honestly, a more natural performer than Jane Wikwane.
@@SallyMankus130ಠ_ಠ
She was Drew Barrymore level. What a little cutie - and in a very tough assignment.
Can we talk about how the first little girls acting was so good, she had incredible facial expressions!
I feel like it was over acting if im being honest

Thought the same thing!!
@@bibsythecottonelf7147 if you’ve watched SNL every week for years and years you know that the majority of the child extras ALWAYS over act little New York kids in the audition circuit
Yea she’s a regular Natalie Portman.
Let’s not exaggerate. She had no lines and cringed a little.
That’s not acting
Arab Santa stole the show and Only had 6 seconds 😅😂
Just like his bomb vest

They shoulda just brought a mixed Santa ^_^
😅
There is no black eastwr bunny or a black uncle Sam either. Or a black St Patrick.
I guess we need a white MLK too.

@@Dman3827BRILLIANT. 🙄
The emphasis on "preference" LMAO
It was so laden with meaning! 😂
The first little girl did such an excellent job of portraying the CRINGE!!!!
“Thank you for doing this to us” hahah
That was low-key the funniest line in this.
"We just remembered that we're Jewish... COME ON GANG!" took me out last night 😂😂😂
@@danielletopping2763 Jews do be the smart whites lol
Umm, I guess the regular one!? 🎅😅
A better come back would be "no, the irregular one".
So funny the way he said "one".
My first instinct would be to let the innocent child decide haha
That honestly seems like the best option. Or just tell the kid to stand in the middle and pose 😂
DAD: “We just remembered we’re Jewish!”
CHRIS ROCK: “That’s perfect, because we have a Jewish Santa!”
[WOODY ALLEN ENTERS]
you mean ✡ "c'Hanukah c'Harry" (first appearance: Season 15: Episode 9, broadcast on December 16, 1989)
There's a Nathan Englander story with that premise, titled "Reb Kringle"
The joke writes itself, doesn't it
...that was c'Hannukah c'Harry (first appearance, SNL Season 15: Episode 9, first broadcast on December 16, 1989)
Woody Allen is INNOCENT!
A missed opportunity to bring back John Lovitz as Hanukkah Harry.
Maybe he couldn't make it, but look who did show up later.
You must be the only other fiftiesh commenter like me to remember HH lol
Any reason to bring back #JonLovitz is a good one.
I know! I always liked him.
He was busy taping his In Memoriam segment for the 50th Anniversary Special. RIP John Lovitz
Arab and Queer santas are a vibe.
😂😂😂Chris be reading straight from the cue card and cameraman gotta adjust with the flow😂😂😂
That 'Kifak Marhaba' makes me feel like home.❤🇦🇪
Marry Christmas, yall, and stay blessed!
1:33 Same face I made when my Dad actually asked for the least expensive Christmas tree on the lot.
Oh I am worse. At an auction in a February I bought a table full of xmas stuff for $2 that had a plastic tree. That was about 10 years ago. I still use that tree.
Gotta love how Chris chose sketches that would make the audience uncomfortable.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 right!? And he played his role so well! I bet he wrote that sketch too! 😂😂😂
It's really sad that this makes people uncomfortable
@@materialgrl2000 Isn't it, though?

She has such good rhythm

This is like something that would’ve played on ‘In Living Color’ 30 years ago.

reminds me of the baby trait sketch from WKUK
I see you Blanta 😂
I'm glad Jane Wickline is getting more opportunities to exist.
not me, the girl stinks
"Exist"?
Just wait until they really find out Jesus is not blonde hair and blue eyes. 👀
Yeah. They're not going to find that out.
@@StarWarsMoments Their friend Pooty told them on international TV and the internet.
Blanta is very catchy ("Baruch ata...adonai"...drifts off lol) 🎉
Whoever wrote the secret santa / simpsons sketch needs a raise 😂.
Chloe played her part perfectly and Jane Wickline is growing on me 😂
"Hi. Ho Ho Ho." Jane Wickline. XDD
I don't even know why but somehow when he said they had a queer female santa, I knew it was gonna be Jane :P
heyy us arabs take christmas seriously! nonetheless i would have loved to see more of that deadbeat arab santa 😂
Do you? Because arabic social media is filled with posts about how it's haram to celebrate it.
Heck, most people don't even know when Christmas actually is.

pretty sure Arab Santa is luigi.
of course, the real St Nicholas actually looked most like the "back up Santa" 😀
“Well you’re in luck!” 😂😂😂
If Chris is gonna stare directly at the cue cards all night, you'd think he would at least be able to say his lines correctly...
right?
Maybe they will call you to replace him because they pay good money to anybody who can read a cue card to your liking.

Drew Barrymore
Elliott Page.
Jane plays the characters I don't want to stereotype her to be
With those glasses, Chris Rock looks just like Roger! 😂
It looks like Chris Rock didn’t practice with the cast before the show. It’s like he’s reading the cards for the first time.
"we just remembered that we're jewish BARUCH ATAH-"
I love that the Santa costumes got lazier as they were introduced.
Thank you for “DOING” this to us. 😂😂😂
“Where duh white women at?”

This sketch is the American 2024 Election in a nutshell.
Exactly
How?
Only if it was a black woman santa.
It was a rough year for SNL. Thank god for Nate Bargatze/George Washington and Ryan Gosling/Beavis
That is complete nonsense.
Yep 100%. Nate Bargatze is talented and humble and wiped the floor with every other host.

3:17 best kid acting 😂😂😂
Love you, Perdomo.

Not even joking when I worked at Petco a costumer complained that my Filipino coworker was Santa 💀 for the freakin pet photos for charity.
…..that was so wrong!

Wouldn’t she freak out that there was more than one Santa? 🤣
Leave it to Chris to make Santa at the mall a social experiment and in your face discomfort about race etc.
I see ya Blanta 🤣🤣

Love the Arab Santa hahaa😂😂😂
This skit really made people look at themselves 🤣
I can’t believe they brought out the Glendale Santa for the last 6 seconds. We need more!
It is indeed Saturday Night.
So far, A+ show
Chris was obviously reading from a teleprompter, you can actually see it reflecting in his glasses
_SNL_ uses cue cards, not teleprompters. There's a behind-the-scenes segment on it on UA-cam.
That's how the show works yo
Why not ask the kid which one they want

Is it possible for Chris Rock to EVER do or say anything that isn't race related? It gets old!

Holy shit man. What a bizarre time to hop on your soap box. Are you aware this is a comedy sketch?
Santa brings the presents UP the chimney.
In every live sketch, Chris Rock can't ditch the cue cards. I do love the plaid pants, though.
