Don't Smash My Pumpkin

Taran Killam lovingly carves a jack-o'-lantern, only to find it smashed on the pavement. He mourns it in an earnest music video, flashing back to two hoodlums (Kyle Mooney and Jay Pharoah) gleefully wrecking the display, vowing to raise the pumpkin's orphaned seeds as his own and complaining that the police only laughed at him. A chorus of cast members in matching orange T-shirts joins the charity-anthem refrain while cradling their own lit pumpkins. Fed up, he dons a mask, bowler hat and pumpkin costume to become a bat-wielding vigilante who confronts the vandals in a subway passage, while the chorus suggests turning leftover pumpkins into pie before everyone joins the final plea to keep pumpkins safe this Halloween.

Released online by NBC as a digital exclusive the day after Edward Norton's October 26, 2013 episode; the sketch did not air in the broadcast.
