Maybe the idea is that the guy snorts all the powdered chanukah sugar and then 10 minutes later he's doing the dreidel dance. Wizzzzzzzzzzz! Zing! Zing! Zing!

Usually I'm all for edgy humor, film references, and even material of questionable television suitability, but I'm not sure they accomplished what they wanted here, which was probably to make a cute 5 second acknowledgement of Chanukah in the midst of all the Xmas fun.
