The setup

When Chucky overhears three co-workers comparing him to the office's least-liked colleague, a relentlessly calm HR manager tries to mediate the bloody fallout.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

In an office restroom, three co-workers vent about their colleague Janet, from her daily tuna lunches to the way she silently pops up out of nowhere "like Chucky" - just as the killer doll emerges from a stall, takes offense and stabs them in the legs. At the follow-up HR meeting, a soft-spoken manager reminds Chucky that stabbing colleagues breaks company policy but also scolds the women for bullying, while Janet is brought in to take notes. Mediation keeps unraveling: Chucky proposes body bags as a solution, a complaint about gender-neutral bathrooms invites his eager agreement, he stabs the manager mid-sentence, and the manager celebrates everyone's different backgrounds, including Chucky's voodoo-cursed origin story. The session finally collapses when the group catches Janet eating tuna.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Chucky, as you know, we have a company policy against stabbing your coworkers in the legs with a knife.

Don't tempt me with a good time.

Chucky, you did an ancient voodoo curse that when combined with a lightning strike transferred your soul to the body of a doll.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

Chucky creator Don Mancini praised the sketch on Twitter and shared behind-the-scenes footage of the puppeteers in green-screen suits who operated the doll body beneath Sarah Sherman's face.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
