How he didn't break character when they are nose to nose is beyond me.

Maya is probably the most criminally under-rated cast member of all time. Best female impressionist to be on the show, confidence off the charts and serious acting chops.

[macadona]

How did he almost break at the yelling and not the face to face XD

[DougSousa]

I'm Brazilian, and she actually said "Coitadinho meu leãozinho, eu te gosto também" but yeah in English is something like "My poor little lion, I like you as well." hahaha

Baked Cereal and the 'OHHH SHIAAA' KILLED ME

I REPLAYED BAKED CEREAL like 5 times omg

[VidRackoff]

Maya is so skilled and precise, but also fearless and wild. One of the best ever.

[ParkerRettke]

maya should win an emmy just for this skit

[toofarreal]

He must have balls of steel to not break character and burst out laughing.

[hezebelbeing]

Maya’s goal is always to break her cohorts. It’s a great goal for comedy as it takes you all the way...never hold back.

[dtkocha]

In Disturbia, Shia's character disrupts a next door neighbor's party by loudly playing "Lovin' You, " by Minnie Riperton, who was Maya Rudolph's mother. Bit of trivia.

[Ttoby]

No idea how he didn't crack the hell up, Maya's hilarious.

[haleyschricker]

I randomly clicked on this while procrastinating on my Portuguese homework...I think this is a sign I need to get studying, or I'll sound like Maya in this skit haha

[IIDASHII]

The fact that it took Shia as long as it did to break character is impressive. Then he reeled it back in. Amazing.

7 year 2020 recommended gang who else here

[Lulabellexd]

Their names rhyme but they also look alike.

[mixydc]

If there isn’t a sequel to this, there def fuckin better be in the future

[alizaloring]

Shia is so good at acting like a scared teenager. They make him do it all the time

[daxoze]

This isn't even a sketch, this is just a documentary about Maya Rudolph's life.

[TrixiLovesYou]

Whoever wrote this truly knows how to make each line count. Phenomenal writing.

[charchar]

His “try not to laugh smile” was everything 😩😆
