We know there are plenty of people out there using more than enough money in the bank to surprise their spouse with a brand-new car for Christmas. And we’re certain Lexus‘ annual “December to Remember” sales event should be successful enough that the automaker commits to running it every year. But for the majority of Americans, the idea of slapping a large red bow on the crisp white Lexus remains little more than a pipe dream.
Apparently, we’re only some of the ones wondering who's surprising their loved ones with new cars. The crew from Saturday Night Live – Beck Bennet, Heidi Gardner and host Timothée Chalamet – come up with a very humorous skit that reminds us of the fact that this December is a wee bit diverse from past Decembers, which maybe an expensive purchase might have negative side effects. And in fact, end-of-year sales campaigns from many industries have been reframed as the pandemic rages on.
As an additional benefit, a scroll with the comments (which is often a bad idea on YouTube) suggests that some car salespeople have experienced this scene unfold in the real world.
