“I am your mother” Dumbledore said calmly

[alexdelaguila]

I hired her for her amazing face....LOOK AT THAT THING...I cried lol

[xtrastrengthsassx]

There’s just something about Fred as a woman, stewing in rage, while a pleasant instrumental plays in the background that just GETS ME

[ixtyineWithMe]

Jason-"are you okay?"
Zach- "no, but—"
Jason- "Action!"

[therockbottom]

Fred is just *Desperately* trying to make Zach break character

[azstronomi]

Lmao Zac not breaking character and looking Genuinely scared has me dying laughing

[memoryhero]

This would never have happened with Totinos.

[amytrumbull]

Fred actually looks so believable and weirdly good as a woman.

[alishaahmed]

Everyone keeps saying Zac was trying not to break character but I think he was genuinely terrified

[isabelispayan]

Not gonna lie - Whoever did Fred’s wig did a fantastic job!

[fatimagic]

zac and andy reading the commercial lines as campy as possible is a really underrated part of this sketch. it honestly would have been awkwardly funny enough on its own, even before fred starts screaming.

[emmersonsmith]

Fred saying “no” as they build up to it lives in my mind rent free

[aimeelester]

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DELETE THIS SCENE FROM HIGHSCHOOL MUSICAL

[jellybeanie]

If this was an actual commercial I would definitely buy Gino’s Pizza Rolls

[jamesbond]

cant watch the "Hereditary" scene without laughing now

[EpicKate]

"I have a feeling this is my fault." 🤣

[mntypthn]

"YOU CAN'T SLAP SOMEONE ELSE'S KID!'😂

[itshassanaskari]

I feel like Zac Efron gets PTSD everytime he looks at or thinks about Fred Armisen

[randomfandoms]

Legend has it that Zac Efron is still traumatized by Fred to this day.

[tishamac]

My kids and I watch this every Mother’s Day as a gentle reminder of my status.
