J.J. Watt and Jimmy Fallon team up for an epic game of Mad Lib Theater on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The duo takes on the challenge of acting out a dramatic sports locker room scene, but with a hilarious twist. Using a series of silly words, ranging from Halloween candies to adjectives and nouns, the cue cards are filled out, setting the stage for an unforgettable performance.
Watt starts off by suggesting "Twizzlers" as a type of Halloween candy, and the laughter begins. As they continue to fill in the blanks, the cue cards feature everything from last names like "Cumberbatch" to adjectives like "succulent" and nouns like "bouncing melons." The absurdity of the words chosen adds an extra layer of entertainment to the sketch.
The banter between Watt and Fallon is seamless as they go through their whimsical scene. Exclamations of "Huzzah!" and mentions of "Gangnam Style" dance moves contribute to the overall humor of the skit. The duo even references an iconic line from The Office, selecting "Chocolate chip" as an ice cream flavor in an impeccable Michael Scott accent.
But the absurdity doesn't stop there. As they continue to act out the scene, the conversation takes unexpected turns, diving into topics like dental hygienists, worst Christmas gifts (grocery store coupons), and even talking on speakerphone in public. The energy between Watt and Fallon is infectious, making the audience thoroughly engaged in their performance.
The sketch also features plenty of pop culture references, such as mentioning famous cereal mascot Captain Crunch and the beloved '90s cartoon character Tommy Pickles from Rugrats. These references add an extra layer of relatability for fans of the talk show and pop culture lovers.
As Watt and Fallon bring the scene to a close, they successfully incorporate grandiose statements about national monuments like Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty, cheering on their fictional team and their designated nickname, "Con dog." The skit wraps up with a chant of "Stay Golden, Pony Boy," sparking enthusiasm from the audience.
