Jimmy Kimmel Live served up a fresh batch of celebrity-read "Mean Tweets" on Wednesday, with stars including Ryan Gosling, Melissa McCarthy, Zac Efron participating in their own roasting.
While traditional live sketches are still the backbone of any given episode, modern SNL is frequently at its best in the pre-recorded segments. The past few years have seen an interesting evolution as the silly “digital shorts” of a decade ago have matured into full-blown filmmaking, with sketches that feel more like short films than just a comedy bit. Last night’s Ryan Gosling-hosted episode peaked with a pre-recorded sketch titled “Santa Baby,” which let both SNL and Gosling himself turn the weird up to 11.
After taking a bit of a break from acting to make his directorial debut (and to have what I presume is a very adorable baby with Eva Mendes), Ryan Gosling is back.

Gosling can't keep a straight face through most of the episode, which delivers some really weird and delightful sketches with few disappointments.
