"Hey Andy, do you want to make an appearance in a sketch where your part is that you don't talk, and you have to move in slow motion running through a hallway while you pee your pants?"
"DO I EVER!!!"

[LothianRyoku]

Six years later and the title and description are still wrong

[themonopolyguy]

That was genius using thick liquid in the beaker for slow mo effect.

[littlemisslouis]

Honestly, a principal in jeans is what truly scares me here

[walkingindlite]

Bill Hader's slow motion bit was the best!

[astellkvellestad]

if bill hader was a teacher he’d DEFINITELY be a history teacher

[nefwaenre]

Bill Hader in jeans and wearing a tie, doing slo mo is *everything*

[souptart]

okay we gotta give bill hader and whoever plays the chemistry teacher credit for the way they seamlessly transitioned in and out of slow-mo

[slimeafullife]

Let’s be real here: we are all here for Bill Hader.

Taran's slow motion is so on point that it takes a while to notice that it's not the edit!! 😃😮

[cassidy]

Wrong title...But I wasn't disappointed.

[tassymccormick]

Labeled wrong, but “We got more bounce in California” is now stuck in my head

[ppsicop]

That was a really funny prom sketch. Principal Frye really killed it!

[tgon]

Why is the song so damn catchy, I started singing it in the shower now.

[ZehraDogru]

I was so distracted by Bill's right hand the whole time 😂 he wanted to hold her arm or didn't know where to put it lmao

[RAYandOLA]

hahah that's so true, every movie about high school has that slow motion scene xD

[spicylemonade]

I’m currently on a Bill Hader binge lol 😂😂😂

[letsblazee]

"Someone should report this to the government. Government? They move slow enough. Ayye pineapple express reference on his own. 😂

[pronkb]

Per Bill Hader's appearance on Vanessa's podcast How Did We Get Weird, this sketch was another on-air panic attack. We know about the one where he's Julian Assange, but apparently when he grabs Vanessa's arm he's having one here as well.

Took me a while to reallize they were just acting slow motion.
