In this pandemic-era sketch, three daughters (Lauren, Ego, and Marie) attempt separate video calls with their mothers during the 2020 holiday season. What starts as cheerful Christmas check-ins quickly devolves into masterclasses in maternal guilt-tripping. Each mother employs increasingly absurd emotional manipulation tactics, from passive-aggressive comments about not being visited enough to dramatic declarations about their impending deaths. The sketch perfectly captures the uniquely suffocating dynamic of obligatory holiday conversations amplified by COVID-19 isolation, where every daughter finds themselves trapped in a digital guilt spiral they can't escape. Marie's situation escalates when both her overbearing parents tag-team her with synchronized guilt trips.
