Elf on the Shelf witnesses puberty firsthand in hilarious 'SNL' sketch
Watch Next

Elf on the Shelf is always keeping its eyes on kids to see if they're being naughty or nice around Christmas, and unfortunately that doesn't stop when kids hit puberty.

Scrabby the elf, played by host Jason Momoa, has been watching Marshall for 13 years, and now he wants a new kid to watch over because Marshall has learned something new he can do with his body, a "solo activity," according to Scrabby. It's not exactly a naughty or nice activity.

The worst part is, Scrabby can't physically look away -- Elves on Shelves don't even blink -- and Marshall sometimes looks at Scrabby during the act.
