Nat's Hollywood Christmas (1956)

A parody of a 1950s Nat King Cole Christmas special where Dave Chappelle plays the legendary crooner performing what appears to be a wholesome holiday song. Mid-performance, while maintaining the smooth, velvety singing style of the era, Nat breaks character to curse out his wife for her infidelity, delivering lines like "Happy Holidays you triflin' biiiiitch." The sketch satirizes the polished, squeaky-clean image of 1950s television Christmas specials by revealing the messy behind-the-scenes drama that contrasts sharply with the wholesome on-screen personas. The humor comes from the juxtaposition of the elegant musical style and festive setting with the profane, bitter personal accusations.
