Highly quotable.
I'm Jimmy, and I need attention!
It was Jimmy!
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A laid-back math teacher in a loud Hawaiian shirt tries to run a lesson while Jimmy, a student in an orange cap, derails it with robot noises, sound effects and nonstop stunts. Each polite plea only makes Jimmy louder, and the class eggs him on. When the teacher invites him to take over the lesson, Jimmy turns the stage into a parody of the teacher, and the teacher snaps and unleashes a screaming, flailing impression of Jimmy. The principal walks in on the meltdown, the teacher blames the boy, and the students erupt into cheers for Jimmy, who is celebrated like a hero in a closing freeze-frame.
