Stu

A Christmas-themed parody of Eminem's 2000 hit "Stan." Pete Davidson plays Stu, an obsessive Santa Claus superfan who writes increasingly desperate and violent letters to Santa (Jason Bateman) requesting a highly sought-after PlayStation 5. The sketch mimics the structure, cinematography, and style of the original "Stan" music video, complete with Pete Davidson rapping in Eminem's aggressive style from his basement decorated with Christmas memorabilia. Kate McKinnon appears as Dido singing modified versions of the iconic hook, and Bowen Yang hilariously portrays Elton John at the piano. The sketch ends with a surprise cameo by Eminem himself as Santa's correspondent, who receives a PS5 gift from Santa while Stu gets nothing. Features grainy VHS-style video quality matching the original music video aesthetic.

The sketch was released on December 6, 2020, and has garnered over 14 million views on YouTube. Eminem praised Pete Davidson's performance. The production design perfectly recreated the look and feel of the original "Stan" music video from 2000. Kate McKinnon rubbing a PS5 box instead of a pregnant belly (as in the original video) was a fan-favorite moment. The sketch references the PlayStation 5 shortage during the 2020 holiday season. Pete Davidson later appeared in Eminem's 2024 music video "Houdini," with references back to this sketch. The sketch won widespread critical acclaim, with many calling it Emmy-worthy.
