Say it with us
Highly quotable.
It was Scotty's mom.
My parents are dead.
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A classroom spelling lesson is interrupted when the teacher announces that one pupil's mother has just died in a car accident and invites the class to guess whose, offering candy from her basket and quizzing them on the grisly details. Joey, wrongly assumed to be the bereaved child, is made to act out the death for his classmates and dissolves in tears before the teacher admits it was Scotty's mother all along. Scotty, newly parentless, swaggers out to misbehave around the city, and the sketch closes with the actor stepping out of character to explain the blue-screen trick used to put him beside another performer.
