Santa Claus
SKETCH-O-VISION
A VERY GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME.
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
On Christmas night Santa Claus gets stuck headfirst in a family's chimney, leaving his bare backside poking out above the fireplace. From inside the flue he narrates how powerless and vulnerable he is, warning the watching family again and again not to do anything to him in a tone that makes it obvious he hopes someone will. The mother hurries the children out of the room, and the father, after silently sizing up the situation, takes a rifle down from the wall, readies it and takes aim at Santa's exposed rear as the sketch cuts away.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Nobody better do anything while I'm stuck in here, in this chimney.
If anyone decided to do something to Santa Claus, he wouldn't be able to do anything to stop him.
If someone got a bad idea, it would be a jolly old time for old Saint Nick.

Notes from the archive.
Wikipedia's episode list and the official full-episode upload both title this sketch "Santa Clause." The broadcast pixelates Santa's exposed backside. The official WKUK channel re-released the sketch in HD on Christmas Day 2025 as "Merry Christmas from WKUK!"
