‘SNL’: Pete Davidson Freaks Out on Santa in Parody of Eminem’s ‘Stan’ (Video)
The major unusual episode of “Saturday Night Reside” in weeks additionally came about to be the first episode of December, so naturally there were a ton of references to Christmas at some stage within the evening. And the handiest got right here early on courtesy of regular solid member Pete Davidson, who did a parody of Eminem’s music “Stan,” finest with the self-discipline of the music changed to Santa Claus — although Eminem himself did indicate up for a cameo within the head.
Peep it above.
It’s one amongst basically the most well-known songs of the final diverse decades and even gave us a unusual term — to stan — for being a fanatical fan, but exact in case you don’t be conscious: The hit 2000 music is written from the POV of Stan, a fictional fan obsessed on Eminem. As depicted within the music, Stan on the beginning comes off take care of an over alive to fan attempting to meet his hero, but because it goes on he becomes an increasing number of unhinged until at final, after angrily concluding that Eminem has blown him off, Stan apparently kills himself and his female friend. Absolute best after that imperfect attain we learn within the closing verse, rapped from Em’s point of glance, that he at final received round to replying to Stan and attempted to support him now not to be self harmful.
Pete Davidson’s parody looks an unpleasant lot take care of the unusual music video, finest this time, “Stu” (Davidson) is writing to Santa resulting from he’s desperate for a laborious-to-accept PlayStation 5. And exact take care of within the unusual, Stu’s letter’s to Santa accept angrier and more unhinged as his incapacity to impact a PS5 (and scenario many folk for the time being maintain) continues unabated, and at final Stu tells Santa to “elf off.”
The twist? Santa is exact, but he sends a letter to Stu asserting “Dear Stu, I mediate which you’ll additionally maintain the snide address, bro. I’m now not Santa Claus. Goodbye.” And then comes the Slim Shady cameo.
“Damn,” one amongst Santa’s elves says. We agree.
