Weekend Update: Drunk Uncle on the Holidays

In this Weekend Update segment, Bobby Moynihan's recurring character Drunk Uncle appears to share his thoughts on the holiday season. As usual, he's been overserved and struggles to stay on topic. He delivers a rambling monologue deriding modern culture, complaining about technology ("Can you email me dinner?"), young people, and immigrants. The sketch features his stereotypical middle-aged blue-collar American persona as he rants about various holiday-related topics while Seth Meyers tries to manage his increasingly incoherent commentary. True to form, Drunk Uncle shouts "Immigrants!" and makes bizarre observations about everything from the sexy green M&M to pilates with baby Jesus.

This was Drunk Uncle's second appearance on SNL (first appearance was December 3, 2011, Season 37, Episode 8). The character would go on to become one of Bobby Moynihan's most beloved recurring characters. Drunk Uncle is described as a stereotypical middle-aged blue-collar American who works as an exterminator, is married (wife's name changes each sketch), and has six kids and several nieces and nephews. The character has its origins in Moynihan attempting to make his friend, fellow comedian Chris Gethard, laugh. Duration: 237 seconds (approximately 4 minutes).
