Everyone knows a kid like Bowen’s character, just filled with unexplainable raging anxiety

[gshak]

Bowen getting Keenan to break in the first 30secs without saying anything 😂 👏

[staticmonkey]

“Let’s see if the batch is ready. Hmmmm yuk, it’s perfect!” Dude that had me DYING!

[muellerphyllis]

I really like this Austin Butler. He looks like he’s having a really good time:)

[sbw]

Marcello Hernandez seems like he's having a great time. He's a great addition to the cast!

[aurvir]

From Kenan wearing a wig to Bowen screaming, it's hilarious🤣

[christianmorton]

I've watched Bowen screaming 200 times now and it's STILL cracking me up.

[jeanharper]

Bowen Yang's "over-excited child" giddy with thoughts of marzipan was masterful! I knew that child when I was young. It's hard saying goodbye this year to cast members, but we have a lot to look forward to with Bowen Yang's talent!

[phillysnowguy]

I spent a year in Salzburg, Austria. They’re *obsessed* with marzipan… and this sketch got it so right.

[KKAkuoku]

We can all agree that the star is Kenan’s beautiful hair.

[Kerry_kit_slayer]

As a child who grew up eating boxes of fruit-shaped marzipan, this skit really hit home. Abduct me, baby!

[fjuvo]

I'm german, love marzipan and feel personally attacked 😂

[armancho]

Keenan almost cracking up from Bowen's first scream 😂

[batgurrl]

Kenan’s hair was the star of the sketch but Bowen’s hysteria was next in line.

[laalaastl]

Kenan's James Brown hair was the real MVP of this sketch.

[RachaelMortician]

The way austin is blinking is cracking me up 🤣🤣

[kristinewalberg]

I laughed my head off, especially at Bowen's sudden marzipan-related terror. Even if you like marzipan (which I do), this sketch is still hilarious.

[weisserth]

On a serious note, the issue most people have with Marzipan is that they're not consuming actual Marzipan. High quality almonds are a quite expensive ingredient, so a lot (if not most) Marzipan products don't actually use almonds but the cheaper apricot or peach kernels. This substitute product is called Persipan and often falsely advertised as Marzipan. It's outright nasty and unfortunately, almost all factory made Christmas treats out of the German speaking regions in Europe use Persipan instead of Marzipan now, covering up for the gross taste by adding more sugar (another cheap ingredient).

The best actual Marzipan products out of Germany originate from a manufacturer in Lübeck.

This is now one of my favorite SNL Xmas skits. Everyone was fantastic in it.

[James-xomx]

“Hello There, I’m making Marzipan”
“Is the recipe a secret”
“Yes”
“Is it just almond’s”
“Yes”
“Do you mush them up”
“Yes”
“And then it’s marzipan”
“YES, Wait let’s see if the batch is ready. Yuck. It’s perfect”
😂😂😂
