Entertainment Saturday Night Live
Saturday Night Live’s ‘advert’ for the office party is funny because it’s just so true
We’re well into office Christmas party season, for those who celebrate, and those who don’t but happen to work in those offices.
Saturday Night Live made an advert – complete with that advert voice – for the office party, as though it were a wrestling event or fighting game (which it sometimes is), and – well – we think they nailed it.
See for yourself.
@nbcsnl Office Christmas Party Extravaganza
“With music by Ja Ja Ja Jason’s laptop – as soon as he can figure out how to pair a speaker with it.”
“And the guy who brought his kid …and immediately regrets it.”
“You’ll know the party’s late if the cleaning staff looks super pissed off.”
Where’s the lie?
Here’s what TikTok users thought of the far too accurate sketch.

You can’t not drink at this kind of party. Staying sober is the worst.
