SNL's Eminem Parody About Wanting A PS5 For Christmas Is Very Relatable

The video features Pete Davidson as an Eminem-styled singer who desperately wants Santa to bring him a PS5.

With Christmas coming and global stock shortages continuing, those of us without a PS5 have to face facts--there probably won't be a new console beneath the Christmas tree this year. In the latest episode of SNL--hosted by Jason Bateman--the long-running sketch show included a filmed segment about wanting a PS5 for Christmas--and it's also a parody of Eminem's 2000 hit Stan.

This version is called Stu, and features Pete Davidson doing his best Slim Shady impression (which is, honestly, pretty good). He's reaching out to Santa (Bateman) because there's just one thing he wants for Christmas this year--a PlayStation 5.

While SNL can be very difficult to access outside of the US, the Twitter video of Stu is currently not geoblocked--you can watch it below. We won't spoil how they handle the Dido section from the original song, suffice to say that it's pretty funny.

The PlayStation 5 is limited, but it looks like, at the very least, there's one floating around 30 Rockerfeller Plaza, where SNL is shot.

Keep an eye on GameSpot's PS5 buyer's guide for more stock--but expect to be waiting until 2021.
