The Christmas Socks

In this surreal musical sketch, a strange and overly enthusiastic man (Paul Rudd) encounters a little boy (Kyle Mooney) at a retail checkout counter who wants to buy Christmas socks. What starts as a simple transaction spirals into an increasingly absurd musical production number, complete with singing birds and escalating weirdness. Meanwhile, an exasperated retail worker/cashier (Kenan Thompson) watches helplessly as the situation holds up his checkout line. The sketch showcases SNL's signature blend of musical comedy and absurdist humor, with Paul Rudd delivering an hilariously off-kilter performance.
