The setup

Two substitute mall elves turn a family Christmas show into a bawdy song-and-dance revue, delighting one father while his partner tries to make sense of it.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

At Santaland in the North Ridge Mall, Fizzy and Tizzy introduce two last-minute performers to the waiting families. Dondra Dupree and Wondrous Williams arrive in customized elf costumes and sing suggestive Christmas numbers about Santa getting down a chimney and Mrs. Claus seeking attention from the elves. Dave becomes an enthusiastic fan of the act and its Todrick Hall style, puzzling the mother standing beside him. The duo bring out their songwriter, LaTony Garage, whose explanation of his creative process makes the drug references increasingly explicit. Their final song gets the families dancing. The mother is still uneasy about the material, but is pleased to see Dave enjoying himself; when she tries the performers’ catchphrase, he immediately discourages her.

Notes from the archive.

In a January 2026 Las Culturistas conversation with Kristen Wiig, Bowen Yang recalled playing LaTony Garage and credited James Anderson with writing the character’s dialogue.

    Hello, everyone. I'm Elf Fizzy.

  2. 00:04

    Elf Tizzy

    And I'm Elf Tizzy. Welcome to Santaland at the Northridge Mall.

  3. 00:11

    Elf Fizzy

    Now, before we line you up for Santa, there's some elves that would like to sing for you.

  4. 00:17

    Mother

    Well, that sounds nice. I wonder what they'll sing.

  5. 00:21

    Dave

    Probably some pretty basic Christmas junk.

  6. 00:23

    Mother

    Fine. Be fun.

  7. 00:25

    Elf Fizzy

    Okay. And just so you know, the singing elves are not the ones on the poster, the website, or from our very deep bench of understudies. These two work in the mall, and they fit the costumes.

  8. 00:37

    Uh-huh.

  9. 00:38

    Elf Tizzy

    Here they are, those people.

  10. 00:41

    Dondra Dupree

    Hi, I'm Donna Dupreece.

  11. 00:46

    Wondrous Williams

    And I'm Wondrous Williams.

  12. 00:48

    Dondra Dupree

    Wondrous, and I work at the hair extensions kiosk in the mall.

  13. 00:52

    Wondrous Williams

    More than that, we are entertainters.

  14. 00:55

    Dondra Dupree

    And the first song is about the spatial problemities that Santa may have around chimneys.

  15. 01:01

    -♪

  16. 01:05

    Wondrous Williams

    Wig white, beard groomed, lip pursed, enters the room, booty first. Just push up that ass down the chimney, shoot.

  17. 01:14

    Speaker 1

    Girl, what did that girl just say, girl?

  18. 01:17

    Wondrous Williams

    Everybody gets a lube, helpless booty, flip and bloop.

  19. 01:20

    Speaker 1

    Bloop, bloop, bloop. I blue, blue, shablam! Down the chimney, y'all!

  20. 01:29

    Mother

    What was that? I mean, wanted Let It Snow. That felt druggie.

  21. 01:34

    Dave

    It felt very Todrick Hall to me.

  22. 01:37

    Mother

    Who's that?

  23. 01:38

    Dave

    Oh, he's great. He's a dynamic, gender-bending performer. His songs make you want to shake your boozy.

  24. 01:45

    Mother

    Boozy? Where's this coming from, Dave?

  25. 01:48

    Dondra Dupree

    What's wrong with Mrs. Claus, wondrous?

  26. 01:51

    Wondrous Williams

    I don't know, Dondra. She seems frustrated, sexually.

  27. 01:54

    Dondra Dupree

    Well, maybe she has womanly needs that aren't being met.

  28. 01:57

    Wondrous Williams

    Well, who on Earth would do that to her?

  29. 01:59

    Dondra Dupree

    Exactly. While Santa's clowning in his sleigh, Mrs. C comes out to play.

  30. 02:06

    Wondrous Williams

    Mrs. Claus don't give no Fs. She gives her cookie to the Ls.

  31. 02:10

    Speaker 1

    Girl, what did that girl just say, girl? -♪ Mrs. Claus has needs, needs up, start with a D, D.

  32. 02:16

    Wondrous Williams

    -♪ If you give an F, please loan one out to me.

  33. 02:19

    Speaker 1

    -♪ Me, all of my Fs are what? Don't you blyat!

  34. 02:23

    -"Are you

  35. 02:24

    Mother

    Oh, my God. Am I being being sensitive, or was that song about Mrs. Claus needing to get railed by elves?"

  36. 02:34

    Dave

    -"Of course. The relationship is open. It's fluid. It's very Todrick."

  37. 02:38

    Mother

    -"Okay. Who are you today? And who introduced you to this Todrick?"

  38. 02:43

    Dave

    -"Miss Deandra."

  39. 02:44

    Mother

    -"Who is that? We know all the same people.

  40. 02:47

    Dave

    Maybe you do.

  41. 02:50

    Dondra Dupree

    And now we'd like to introduce you to the writer of our songs. LaToni Garage. LaToni, get out here.

  42. 02:56

    LaTony Garage

    Merry Christmas to the children.

  43. 03:00

    Dondra Dupree

    LaToni, is there anything you'd like to say before this next song?

  44. 03:02

    LaTony Garage

    Yes. This song was written as an homage to my mother, the mother of the house, Ms. Buffet Styles. It was written at 5 a.m. when I was skiing with Ms. Connie. See what I'm saying? The snow that goes up-understand? The snorty snow. I'm talking about cro-crane.

  45. 03:22

    Dondra Dupree

    Thanks, Satani, for the clarifications. Let's do this.

  46. 03:28

    Wondrous Williams

    -♪ Tired, he's a grump

  47. 03:31

    Dondra Dupree

    -♪ Worked all night, he needs a bump

  48. 03:33

    Speaker 1

    -♪ Do that bump up your rump B-rum-p-p-bum, bum -♪ I Buh, buh, buh, buh. Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh. Girl, what did that girl just say, girl?" -♪ let no one tell you late -♪ Whoa, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa.

  49. 03:49

    Mother

    I don't love that that ...was about doing cocaine, but I do like that this is the first time I've ever seen you happy.

  50. 03:56

    Dave

    I'm glad you noticed. Merry Christmas, baby.

  51. 04:00

    Mother

    Girl, what did that girl just say, girl?

  52. 04:02

    Dave

    I don't like that for you.
