The premise

Here’s the bit.

Luis Gonzalez (Marcello Hernández) brings his girlfriend Casey (Chloe Troast) to meet his Tía Rosa (Bad Bunny), assuring her that his fiercely protective mother is away. Rosa sizes Casey up with a stream of Spanish-language digs, and then Luis's mother Claudia (Pedro Pascal) bursts in, swatting her son before smothering him with affection. Over dinner the two women pick apart everything about Casey, from her store-bought cookies and her job at her father's nonprofit to her septum piercing and her claim to have helped Luis through depression, while Luis protests in vain. The sketch is a sequel to Protective Mom from Pascal's own hosting episode earlier in 2023.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

So thoughtful to not make them yourself.

Mi hijo does not have depression. He just like the dark.

Then I said, don't do that. Do something else.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

Pedro Pascal returned as a cameo guest to reprise the mother he first played in Protective Mom when he hosted in February 2023.

  31. 03:13

    Casey

    Okay, well, um, I just... I want you guys to like me, and I love Luis, and I feel like I've been really good for him. Like when he got diagnosed with depression.

  32. 03:24

    Luis Gonzalez

    Oh, Casey, no, no, no, no, no.

  33. 03:27

    Tía Rosa

    What do you mean, me sobrino got depression?

  34. 03:29

    Claudia Flores

    Depression? Mi hijo does not have depression. He just like the dark.

  35. 03:38

    Luis Gonzalez

    Mama.

  36. 03:39

    Claudia Flores

    Oh, no, no, no, no, no. He tried to get it when he was a kid. He said, mommy, I'm depressed. Then I said, don't do that. Do something else.

  37. 03:48

    Casey

    OKAY. WELL, Depression doesn't actually work that way.

  38. 03:53

    Tía Rosa

    Oh, oh. I didn't know she was a doctor with that thing in her nose.

    Tía Rosa

    Oh, I have a piercing, too. Septum, putting it in my ear where it belongs.

  41. 04:07

    Luis Gonzalez

    Mamá.

  42. 04:08

    Claudia Flores

    No, no, no. Yo no me puedo imaginar que tú vas a estar con ella y tener white grandchildren. Y todo el mundo va a tener que decir Tyler and Hailey González.

  43. 04:21

    Luis Gonzalez

    Mamá, estoy enamorado de ella. No me importa que ella usa organic deodorant. Y yo no tengo problema con que tenga cara de bisexual barista.

  44. 04:34

    Claudia Flores

    Tú me podrías haber traído a una buena niña latina trabajadora como Jenna Ortega, Ana de Armes, Cardi B. Pero no, tú llegas a la casa de tu tía con Greta Thunberg.

  45. 04:49

    Luis Gonzalez

    Mamá, por favor.

  46. 04:51

    Tía Rosa

    Luis, no le grites a tu mamá, que lo que ella quiere decirte es que a ella no le importa si tú te metes con ella como, como, como un booty call. O, o, ella no tiene que ser tu novia oficial. Ella puede ser como, como un side chick. O, o, un sneaky link.

  47. 05:08

    Casey

    All right, uh, you guys, I know I'm not exactly what you were expecting, but can we just start over and have dinner? I would hate for all this delicious food to go to waste.

  48. 05:19

    Luis Gonzalez

    Honestly, I'm not even hungry anymore.

  49. 05:21

    Casey

    Oh, no. Don't do this again. How many times have I told you? You do not eat enough.

  50. 05:28

    Oh!

  51. 05:32

    Claudia Flores

    Welcome to my son. I'm Luis. Give me Tyler. Give me Hailey. I'm Luis.
