Let me do it!
I'm in my dark place
You know, his father left us on Tuesday...

In this holiday-themed Stuart sketch, the spoiled, oversized "child" Stuart Larkin is cast as Baby Jesus in a church Christmas pageant directed by the exasperated Nun Francis. True to form, Stuart causes complete mayhem during the performance, obsessing over a candy bar and disrupting the sacred nativity scene. His overbearing mother Doreen watches from the sidelines, making everything worse with her interference. The three wise men and other cast members look on in bewilderment as Stuart's antics derail the entire production, turning what should be a reverent Christmas celebration into classic Stuart pandemonium.

This sketch aired as part of a MADtv Christmas episode featuring multiple holiday-themed sketches. Stuart Larkin is one of MADtv's most popular recurring characters, known for wearing child's clothing despite being an adult-sized person. The sketch parodies church Christmas pageants and the chaos of children's performances.
