Kenan's wig was so James Brown and his pushing his lip to the left to stifle his laugh from Bowen's scream was so hilarious I watched it about 10 times.
Even back in the day when Austin Butler was just a background character on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, he was always giving it his all! He truly is a great actor!
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!

“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” 😂😂😂
When my great grandmother, a German immigrant, died in 2003, I got to keep the little marzipan pig I'd always admired on her display (I was 9 when she died). The expiration date on it is July 1991 and I still have it. Marzipan is forever.
Same! I love Ritter sport. People think I’m crazy that it’s my go-to candy! My grandmother was Austrian so she brought some home from Veinna when I was a child. This video is so hilarious because most people think it’s disgusting! 😂 Similar to Turkish Delight. The stuff we get in the US is disgusting. But getting it fresh in Turkey, it is quite good.
It's absolutely awesome! I feel like people who dislike marzipan are also ones who don't like halwa. A little Halwa goes a long way, I feel it's too sweet sometimes too.
@@DoodooSwaggy Bowens screaming reaction comes to mind first. The song and dance was great, with the lady in the middle wiggling her hips. But really it all had me laughing, from start to finish. Everyone shined in this skit.
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.
@@EnzoTheBaker Some places do have them. Maybe a tjmaxx or similar store like Homegoods that has food items would probably have it. I don't think it's too hard to find. Sometimes I see it when I buy Turkish delight for my dad.
As a kid with Northern European parents, I grew up eating marzipan at Christmas every year and still love it to this day. I still look forward to finding that box of tiny, hyper-realistic fruit in my stocking each year.
The best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had were when my husband got an idea and substituted a portion of the butter with marzipan. We were staying with our friends and their family and the whole batch of cookies was gone in a day. They were crazy good.
One Christmas at my in-laws during my first marriage my adult brother in law threw a screaming fit when there was no marzipan, even though they had TONS of other candies, and pies, and donuts! He said it just wasn't Christmas without marzipan.
I love marzipan. I’m from New York and grew up getting this delicious treat during Christmas. It’s made of almond paste, it taste a little like perfume but I really love it.
I'm actually eating some now which is how I came across this skit. However the one I'm eating is just powder. Like this skit, it's left me a little sad, a lotta bit confused and wondering if I'm remembering things correctly.
I personally love marzipan. They neglected to mention that is is loaded with sugar. It’s like if orgeat syrup was a solid treat, or simply bear claw filling. I personally like to have Ritter Sport’s dark chocolate filled with marzipan. It’s dairy-free, for those of us who are allergic 😃 My mom is from a country that has these lovely confections, so I appreciate the shout out 🤗
@@ronin123958 As someone who worked with marzipan in baking/confection class, you're right. And for that reason alone, I believe marzipan, especially when it's carved into little fruits, is only meant for decoration.
Ya know, at 56 i'd pretty much forgotten about those horrific little butt nuggets. Someone gave them to us at Christmas every year and somewhere around 1969 you'd have thought those acid dropping hippies might have come up with some new kinda treat, but no. Adults would smile at you and show you the box and say: "Pick anyone you like.'' As if there was a difference in the taste, but then again, no. One bite and if you spit it out there wasn't another candy of any kind coming your way until tomorrow. And fool me once, you know? But I was only 3. That window of gullibility was open at least two more years, they kept slipping one onto your plate or they filled a bowl at grandma's. And by the way, they didn't ask you if you like them, they TOLD you you did. The tyranny of Christmas.
Never heard of this stuff before this sketch ... Marzipan is a confection consisting primarily of sugar, honey, and almond meal (ground almonds), sometimes augmented with almond oil or extract.
Everyone knows a kid like Bowen’s character, just filled with unexplainable raging anxiety
Or were that kid.
Or are that adult 😊
If you didn't know a kid like that, you WERE that kid
I guess it's the sugar rush

“Let’s see if the batch is ready. Hmmmm yuk, it’s perfect!” Dude that had me DYING!
😁
👏
So true! 😄
That whole interaction between Austin Butler and the chef was so great. That and Bowen freaking out were the best parts.
From Kenan wearing a wig to Bowen screaming, it's hilarious🤣
If that’s all it takes I guess
Kenan's wig was so James Brown and his pushing his lip to the left to stifle his laugh from Bowen's scream was so hilarious I watched it about 10 times.
Looked like Bowen had too much of the stuff ...
The dude screaming was the only part that even made me crack a smile
It's really not.
Marcello Hernandez seems like he's having a great time. He's a great addition to the cast!
I really like this Austin Butler. He looks like he’s having a really good time:)

Keenan and Bowen always look like they are having the best time in every sketch. They are my favorites.
Just don't try to abduct him with marzipan.

As a child who grew up eating boxes of fruit-shaped marzipan, this skit really hit home. Abduct me, baby!
You think this skit is a child who grew up eating boxes of fruit-shaped marzipan?
I have always hated the flavor of marzipan. Is it really made from almonds?
@@maritzaozepy1903 Entirely, isn't that nuts?
@@maritzaozepy1903 No. It's made from raw sewage.
@@maritzaozepy1903 Are you serious? Yes, it’s mainly made with almonds and sugar.

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

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

It's glorious!

I think this is the closest to breaking, I've ever seen Kenan.
The way austin is blinking is cracking me up 🤣🤣
Kenan's James Brown hair was the real MVP of this sketch.
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.
I'm german, love marzipan and feel personally attacked 😂
It's like peanut butter, or root beer for some people.
I love it too. Perhaps they haven't had the good stuff?
@@Psychol-Snooper Wait till you try salty licorice! 😋

Genau. Marzipan und Schokolade
“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”

I mean, that's what peanut butter is, and people love peanut butter
Ok so "Bowen" is the answer to "Who is the only person who can make Kenan break?"
Maya Rudolph did the same on the Uncle Ben sketch.
Yo- Kate McKinnon has busted Kenan countless times!
Also the answer to "who's that obnoxious homo?"
Watch the cut for time Retirement Party sketch. Kenan breaks HARD.
Bowen screaming is hilarious 🤣👏🏽
I think I know why he was screaming. He had Marzipan before he went to bed.
Three things I will never understand: Quantum mechanics, bitcoin, and why anyone finds Bowen Yang funny.
Bowen screaming really cracked me up 😆

Who's ever had marzipan with no sugar, just nuts? I actually feel exactly the way these characters do about marzipan! It's divine!
Right?! I live in the Netherlands and I think marzipan is, if anything, too sweet!
It's absolutely awesome! I feel like people who dislike marzipan are also ones who don't like halwa. A little Halwa goes a long way, I feel it's too sweet sometimes too.
They cranked the enthusiasm on this one up to 11. I laughed so hard.

This definitely will go down as one of the classic SNL skits.
I'm lost... I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, especially the bit about it a classic SNL skit.
"I can almost taste the taste." THAT was funny.😆
Also, what was that dance step Sarah was doing at 3:30? It's confusing.
That cracked me up.
Michael Longfellow as the chef was chef's kiss
I love this. It's just ... and Bowen. And that chef! It's like an instant holiday classic created by machine elves.
Michael Longfellow as the chef was perfect! Just long enough to deliver punchline after punchline without it getting stale. Hilarious.

I actually loved marzipan as a kid tho and it's still like one of my favorites
Same here, someone must like it with how popular it is. I prefer it covered in dark chocolate, though. See's Candies makes the best
Same here
Sarah’s dance killed me. 🤣
2:49 Austin just yeeting the marzipan
Lol I didn't notice that!
Never had marzipan but now I want to.
I love candy corn and tolerate circus peanuts so this might be right up my alley.
You probably have if you've ever eaten certain cakes, wedding cake, battenberg etc.
It's just almond icing.
It’s delicious lol
Is it really available everywhere like CVS? Or do you have to special order Marzipan?

Marzipan is awesome. There’s nothing like a bit of benzaldehyde to lift the flavor of any confection!

Is it the same as Mexican marzipan? I've had that. De la rosa

Agree!!! Great cast!!
I smiled the whole time, I creeped myself out how much I enjoyed it. amazing skit LMFAO

This fever dream of a sketch has me amazed and crying laughing 🤯😭
this will be a forever underrated sketch. bravo
Everyone delivers an A+ performance in this bit.
I absolutely loved Marzipan as a little kid, but this is still accurate
What's on the cue card for Bowen?! "Unintelligible noises"? Shit's hilarious!
One Christmas at my in-laws during my first marriage my adult brother in law threw a screaming fit when there was no marzipan, even though they had TONS of other candies, and pies, and donuts! He said it just wasn't Christmas without marzipan.
I would’ve paid to see that!
So you’re sending him this video right?
Where is he from? being the missing detail...
That sounds like one of those instances where it's terrible when you're there but funny later.
So your brother was basically Bowen's character?
Love Austin Butler throwing a piece off-stage behind his back. Sure it wasn't supposed to be seen on camera, but it was still a riot.
