In this darkly comedic holiday sketch, Santa's three elves (Kenan Thompson, Vanessa Bayer, and Ryan Gosling) purposely don't make any toys in hopes that Santa (Bobby Moynihan) will discipline them. The elves are clearly masochistic and keep making increasingly suggestive comments trying to provoke Santa into punishing them, but Santa remains completely oblivious to their inappropriate intentions. The sketch features the elves making double entendres about being "bad" and needing to be disciplined, while Santa innocently tries to understand why his workshop isn't producing toys. Mrs. Claus (Aidy Bryant) makes a brief appearance at the end. The sketch is notable for Ryan Gosling's memorable facial expressions throughout and his struggle to keep from breaking character.
