Killer smells.

It's always the person you least expect. Three-time 'Saturday Night Live' host Ariana Grande learns that the hard way in 'My Best Friend's House', a musical sketch that suits her to a bloody tee.

Grande, as the title suggests, loves her BFF's place. It smells like a dream, if dreams smelt like cinnamon candles, spray deodorant, home cooking, and industrial-strength cleaning products. Let's, er, stick a pin in that one for now.

In her reverie, she dances out the front door and bumps into a police officer. Turns out her best friend's dad has murdered at least fourteen people and has stashed human remains throughout the house. Grande sums it up brilliantly: "I guess I may have missed some pretty big red flags."

These include a head in the fridge, a tub of mortuary-grade lye, video tapes of victims, and drains in the living room. On top of all that, her 'maraca' is a cocoa shaker full of teeth. Grande may be a lousy detective, but she's a class act with darkly funny material like this.
