Say it with us
Highly quotable.
It's cuffing season, that time of year when we find a man to keep us warm through these cold months.
We the reason for the season.
We'll be shoveling snow in shorts.
The premise
Here’s the bit.
On a snowy storybook set, the women announce that cold weather means cuffing season and that only a very specific kind of man will do. In a hook sung by SZA and verses from Keke Palmer, Cecily Strong, Ego Nwodim and Punkie Johnson, they list what makes a big boy ideal: polar-bear arms, groceries carried in one trip, a stocked fridge, a California king bed, a body that makes its own heat and legs like a monster. The bliss has a few bumps, including a snoring boyfriend who goes so still that his partner wonders if he has died, and a friend who confesses that girls cannot keep her warm. The big boys finally take over in their shorts and plaid, shovelling snow and promising they are easy to find.
