In the sketch “Bratz Dolls,” Sarah Sherman plays a young girl whose parents (Heidi Gardner and Kyle Mooney) have just told her they are getting a divorce. When she asks to be left alone, she strolls over to the three dolls that are on her bookshelf.

“I guess this is growing up,” the girl says to herself. “I wish I could talk to you about this! I can’t believe my dolls are my only friends.”

And with a cloud of pink smoke, Bratz dolls Jade (Selena Gomez), Gigi (Aidy Bryant) and Dylan (Bowen Yang) come to life, each of them striking a cheeky pose with their hands on their hips.

“Who are you guys?!” the girl asks them.

“We are your Bratz dolls,” says Gigi as the three begin their rendition of the Bratz TV show’s extremely 2000s pop theme: “We are the girls with a passion for fashion: Ba, Ba, Ba, Bratz!”

“So you’re alive?!” the girl cries, hardly believing her eyes.

“We come alive every time a girl’s parents get divorced,” Jade explains.

“Yes,” Dylan adds. “And we’re for girls who are too old for Claire’s but too young for Talbot’s.”

“I’m Jade,” says Gomez, dressed in one of the real doll’s signature looks (kudos to the Saturday Night Live Wardrobe department). “I have a flip phone, a dog grooming business and argue a lot with my boyfriend.”

“I’m a brat,” Yang’s Dylan tells the girl. “I have a hard time making male friends because we… compete in sports and… with girls.”

When the girl begins to agonize over her parents’ separation, Jade interrupts her with a “Shut up, you wimp,” before belittling her mother.

“But what’s wrong with your father?” asks Gigi, twirling her long blonde hair. “He’s… interesting to us.”

“I don’t like that you asked that,” the girl says. The trio continues to dish out advice that ranges from useless (“Be honest. Be real. Be Bratz!”) to completely inappropriate, such as suggesting that her father “probably likes girls who wear huge hats and have lips like that.”

“Can you just shrink down now and become dolls again?” the girl finally asks.

“No,” says Jade. “We’re going to Miami with your dad!” Now comes the Bratz theme.
