SNL Perfectly Spoofed Eminem’s ‘Stan’ But With A Guy Asking Santa For A PS5
This is going to gut punch for the people with the tired and age-old take of “SNL hasn’t been funny in years,” but this parody is spot on. Pete Davidson nails his role of Devon Sawa who played Stan in the original. Except Pete’s character is Stu who just wants a damn PS5, like so many this holiday season.
“I tried to buy one at a Wal-Mart/ ran around the shopping mall like Paul Blart/ tried to fine one for sale but the thing is that they’re all out/ Yo, I even went to a game stop/ and then I was like, ‘Oh wait, stop, Santa Claus can make one/ the man got his own workshop.”
Well done. Also, Jason Bateman hosted (and played Santa) which automatically made the whole episode great. Go watch it. And for the Zoomers who have no idea what this skit was spoofing or the millennials (or older) who just want to rewatch the absolute classic…
And yes, this song is the reason people now say “I Stan” for things they like.

Also, last thing: the Eminem cameo at the end was *chef’s kiss*
