Stefon's Guide To NYC's Hottest Clubs Gets Illustrated

by Chelsea Burcz · February 23, 2012

    For years now, Saturday Night Live's beloved character of Stefon, played by Bill Hader, has been a fan favorite. The giggly, bashful club kid can usually be found on Weekend Update describing to Seth Meyers the hottest (and most hilariously ridiculous) nightclubs in NYC. Spiltsider has curated a selection of illustrated versions of the local haunts of Stefon, paired with transcripts of how he describes these places. Check out a few of our favorite below!

    WESH

    Episode Date: May 15, 2010

    "New York’s hottest club is Wesh. Nine-year-old Tokyo pimp Ichiaku Guru is back with an all-new hot spot that answers the question What?!? This place has everything: trance, stilts, throw-up music, an albino that looks like Susan Powder, Teddy Graham people...It’s the thing, like when a guy has stumpy arms, but with the belly."

    SLASH

    Episode Date: May 15, 2010

    "New York’s hottest club is Slash. This place has everything: glass, steam, bear traps, and just when you think the fun is over, knock knock who’s there? It’s Black George Washington! All that, and a party room filled with human bathmats...It’s that thing like when midgets have dreadlocks and they lay faced down on the floor."

    TASTE

    Episode Date: May 15, 2010

    'New York’s hottest club is Taste. Nightlife designer Tranny Griffith is back with an all-new club that answers the question Huh?!? Don’t look for a bouncer – there isn’t one. Instead the door’s guarded by ten jacked homeless guys in old-fashioned bathing suits. And inside it's just sick: ice sculptures, winos, Germufs – German smurfs – a Teddy Ruxin wearing mascara, an old lady wearing Kid 'N Play hair, and none other than DJ Baby Bok Choy...He’s a giant 300-pound Chinese baby who wears tinted aviator glasses and he spins records with his little ravioli hands.'

    BAAAAAAA-BAANAM

    Episode Date: December 10, 2011

    '"If you're ordinary or love salt, I've got just the spot for you. New York's hottest holiday club is BAAAAAAA-BAANAM. Opened and condemned in 1904, this seasonal psycho ward is the creation of Hanukkah cartoon character Menorah the Explorer, and this place has everything: Kiwis, Spud Webb, Clio Awards, some guy's mom, plus a special showing of the African holiday classic A Fish Called Kwanza. Look who just walked in — it’s a lady who works at CVS, but do not bother her because she is on break. And all the proceeds go to charity — flaccid outreach group Doctors Without Boners."
