WARNING: Some viewers may find the following video offensive.įinally, Gardner called the woman playing the virgin Mary to the center and asked her if she was comfortable on a stripper pole. He then began to shake his rear up and down, at which point Eilish exclaimed, “He can actually twerk!” To fix this supposed issue, Gardner and Eilish began stuffing hay into the boy’s shorts. As she examined the shirtless boy wearing only short shorts, she asked, “Do you not have a butt?” It is almost like SNL knew it would receive backlash for this shameless skit and tried to get out in front of it by belittling anyone who expressed concern.Ĭontinuing with the skit, Gardner called baby Jesus to the center of the room and took off his cloak. The larger implication, of course, is that anyone who criticizes this contamination of the Christmas story is a stick in the mud who should be ignored. It is clear that SNL means to paint the person playing baby Jesus as some sort of killjoy for suggesting that a “free-form hip-hop Nativity scene” might not be appropriate.
Gardner promptly dismissed baby Jesus and instructed him to “please just focus on your twerking.”īefore getting to the most disgusting part of the skit, it is important to recognize the significance of this dismissal. “Sorry, just throwing this out there, but I’d be totally cool just doing what we practiced, you know, ditching the whole free-form hip-hop thing,” he said. The person portraying baby Jesus then expressed concern.

Sadly, it got worse.Īfter sending Joseph to the corner to practice his “pimp walk,” Gardner and Eilish taught the donkeys how to “pop their butt.” When Joseph expressed confusion, Gardner proceeded to demonstrate the “pimp walk.”Īs she thrust her waist and motioned to her crotch, she said the attitude Joseph should be portraying with his walk was, “I’m Joseph, I’m a baby daddy now.”Īt this point, every Christian watching the events transpire was likely appalled.
“So now, you’re going to enter with a pimp walk,” she said. We, too, may have to grin through a toast riddled with lies, but at least we’re all going through it together.Gardner first called over the man playing Joseph, Jesus’ father. So, as some of us embark on extended holiday jaunts, spending time with relatives who may not 100% agree with our takes on, let’s say, the sitting president’s recent impeachment, take cold comfort in this sketch. And maybe dad’s not as chill about his daughter marrying a white man than his warm toast lets on.
They tell grandpa his medical issues aren’t a nuisance. His picture perfect marriage to Rudolph? Definitely not picture perfect. As Murphy waxes poetic about each person, we cut to scenes of fighting, irritation, and general tension. Murphy’s patriarch stands up to toast the family hunkering together for the holidays, offering sentimental platitudes and tributes to each member - from wife Maya Rudolph (who’d swung by for the cold open to play Kamala Harris) to aging gramps Keenan Thompson to soon-to-be (white) son-in-law Mikey Day.įlashbacks tell a different story. The family in this sketch at least keep up the pleasant façade. The night only had one pre-taped segment, but it mirrored the one from last year’s holiday episode, in which host Matt Damon ruined Christmas dinner by starting a fight over…Weezer. Robinson, Buckwheat, Gumby, even Velvet Jones. Eddie Murphy spent most of his first SNL stint in 35 years playing the hits: Mr.
