Say it with us
Highly quotable.
I've seen horrible things! I've been to the lake of fire!
My dick split open and locusts flew out!
However, I am pleased to see that you are smart enough to use the Necronomicon in a pinch.
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Before heading to the store with Mom, Dad gives his three sons a far too detailed account of how he and Mom are keeping their marriage interesting. Once the parents leave, Trevor shows off with a nail gun and kills Sam. He and Zach bring their brother back with the Necronomicon, but Sam returns raving about the torments he suffered in Hell, and the parents recognize the hell-speak as soon as they walk in. After dousing Sam with holy water, Dad scolds the boys for the killing, praises their quick thinking with the book and grounds them anyway. He then asks Sam why he skipped Purgatory and went straight to Hell; the answer is a hidden pornography stash, which the parents confiscate before Dad gleefully recaps his day for Mom.

Notes from the archive.
In the troupe's 2021 "WKUK Talk About: Nail Gun" video, the members recall that the sketch was pitched around the nail-gun accident and the resurrection, that Dad's "I'll sock your hop" retort came straight from one member's own father, and that Darren Trumeter did not want the final toilet line to make it into the show.

Trevor Moore
Oh, you had anal? Gay.
- 02:11
Sam Brown
It was so gay, you have no idea how gay it was.
- 02:15
Zach Cregger
Well, Sam, you're all right now.
- 02:17
Trevor Moore
Yeah, be quiet. Mom and Dad are going to be home any minute.
- 02:19
Sam Brown
They turned my rectum inside out and nailed it to a fence post. I drowned in wasps.
- 02:25
Zach Cregger
Okay, Sam, be quiet.
- 02:27
Sam Brown
I gouged my eyes out to stop seeing the horrors, but they only grew back.
- 02:32
Dad
Out of my way, I've got a marriage to save.
- 02:34
Sam Brown
Every step I took, I stubbed my toe. They only gave me thumbtacks to eat.
- 02:41
Zach Cregger
That sounds pretty shitty, Sam.
- 02:42
Sam Brown
My dick split open and locusts flew out.
- 02:46
Trevor Moore
Yeah, you already told us that.
- 02:47
Sam Brown
Well, it happened a lot.
- 02:49
Mom
Well, boys, am I glowing?
- 02:52
Dad
Boys, for the rest of the day, do not smell this finger.
- 02:57
Wow.
- 02:58
Sam Brown
The worst part is, is since I've been to the world, they can control my body.
- 03:03
Dad
Hey! Hey, what's wrong with Sammy?
- 03:08
Trevor Moore
Nothing.
- 03:09
Sam Brown
My soul is merged with all that has died and all that will die.

Mom
Hey, that sounds like hell speak.
- 03:13
Dad
What have you boys been up to in here?
- 03:15
Trevor Moore
Uh, rehearsing for a play.
- 03:17
Zach Cregger
Yeah, we're just running lines.
- 03:18
Dad
You were running lines? You didn't accidentally kill Sam with the nail gun and have to bring him back from the depths of hell?
- 03:24
No.
- 03:25
Sam Brown
Carpe diem! Carpe diem!
- 03:27
Dad
Hey, that's Latin! Honey, bring me the holy water!
- 03:29
Sam Brown
Fuck my pussy! Fuck my pussy! Fuck my pussy! Fuck my...
- 03:33
Sam Brown
Ah! Ah! Ah!
- 03:34
Sam Brown
Okay. Okay.
- 03:35
Dad
Now, you two, I am very upset that you went ahead and killed your brother with the nail gun after we specifically told you to be careful. However, I am pleased to see that you are smart enough to use the Necronomicon in a pinch. Now, both of you go up to your room. You're grounded for two months.
- 03:51
Trevor Moore
But, Dad.
- 03:52
Zach Cregger
Sock hop.
- 03:53
Dad
I'll sock your hops. Now, get out of here.
- 03:55
Dad
Hold on, Sam. We need to have a little chat.
- 03:57
Sam Brown
But I wasn't playing with the nail gun.
- 03:59
Dad
I'm not talking about the nail gun. Sam, when most people die, they go to purgatory. Why is it that you went straight to hell?
- 04:06
Sam Brown
I don't know.
- 04:08
Dad
Sam. You have no idea why that might be?
- 04:11
Sam Brown
We have pornos.
- 04:13
Dad
That's what I thought. Bring them to your mother and I.
- 04:19
Dad
Well, dear, we've had a pretty eventful day. We had a nice talk with Zach and Trevor, got ahold of Sam's pornography stash, and I finally got to wriggle inside that sweet, sweet poop chute of yours.
- 04:29
Mom
Yes, you did.
- 04:30
Dad
Yeah, I did. You should go check out the toilet. I just shit it out.
- 04:33
Mom
Oh, frosted turd!
