(playful music)
- Oh, you're bored, are you?
- You think this is boredom?
Unless you were a kid in the 1980s,
- You don't know what boredom is.
- It's time you learned
- The true meaning of "boredom".
- Wait, is this gonna be one of those
- [Both] Back in my day, things were a lot different.
- Yeah, it is.
(snoring)
(electronic music)
- Okay, so here's the deal.
If you want to talk to your friends,
you have to talk to them on a phone.
You call them; you don't text them or FaceTime,
you call them.
Seven numbers, now; hit seven numbers.
(busy signal)
- (laughing) What's that sound?
- That's a busy signal.
That means her brother is probably on the phone,
and that means you have to call about 127 times
over the next hour until you can reach her.
- That's so annoying, oh my gosh.
- I know!
The despair you feel.
It's really heartbreaking. - It's really discouraging.
It's like, "You did not reach them!"
"You are a failure!"
"Your friends don't like you!" (laughing)
This would never be in your bedroom.
You have to pull the cord.
Pull it, pull it.
It's as private as you get.
(electronic music)
- You guys play video games to cure your boredom.
When we were kids, our video games scared the crap
out of us, and it's probably why we're so good
at staying indoors now.
Because we had this, "The Oregon Trail".
Okay, we're headed across the river.
Sweet!
Oh, look, it tipped over and three people are dead,
and two pounds of our food is missing.
(laughter)
- Yeah, no, my friend, Anna Kate, shout out to Anna Kate,
she plays this every day at snack.
- Oh look!
Andy has dysentery.
Sweet, I wonder how long he has to live.
Well, oh no, he's dead now.
So let's go to his funeral,
which is the worst looking graphics of all time.
(laughter)
This is why we're so good at staying at home,
because we know that when we go outside,
this could happen.
(electronic music)
- Okay, when we got really bored in the '80s,
we started doing our own hair.
And it's happening now, because all the salons are closing.
So are you ready for bangs?
(record scratching)
- Oh my god, no!
(sobbing)
- (laughing) I'm not gonna,
Honey, I'm not gonna cut your bangs.
- I don't want bangs!
- It's a good reaction.
Nobody should cut their own bangs right now.
Are you sure you don't want me to cut them?
- Yeah!
- Look how cute you would look with bangs!
- Dora.
- Don't do, I would never hurt you.
I was never gonna cut your bangs. (laughing)
(dramatic music)
- Oh, you guys don't think there's enough TV options
on right now?
We had three options.
Three channels, and most of the time, when we were home,
they were playing some sort of soap opera
that looked like this, that had a bunch of rich people.
Look, when they get in a fight they just stare at each other
on the phone, and it gets closer and closer,
until you can literally see up their noses.
And people didn't have nose trimmers back then!
And say you missed this amazing television show,
you can't DVR it, but you had this machine
that you would have to record it,
and then you'd have to rewind it.
(tape rewinding)
This is gonna take about seven minutes.
(electronic music)
- You have not known boredom, until you're trying
to make a mix tape, and oh, oh, wait, wait!
Argh!
And you're trying to record your favorite song,
and you missed the beginning of it,
or the DJ's talking over it.
It's okay.
They'll play it again in about another two hours,
so we'll just wait.
- Why?
- Because that's how you make a mix tape, and nothing says,
"I love you!" more than a handmade mix tape.
- Okay, well, it's not the '80s anymore.
Why can't we just live regular life?
- It's going great.
(electronic music)
- So in the '80s, there were no TikToks
to learn how to dance.
There were two things you could watch to learn how to dance.
"Breakin'", and "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo".
Also, you couldn't record your dance.
You would get a cardboard box, you'd flatten it,
and dance by yourself.
- That's so sad.
(music continues)
(grunting)
Not done yet?
- Oh!
Wait, sorry!
Oh!
Put that on TikTok.
(laughter)
- [Kim] Your back hurts.
- [Penn] Yes.
- Hey guys, we're totally kidding.
We know what you're going through.
Kids, talking to you guys, when you've had school canceled,
and sports canceled, and birthday parties canceled,
and graduations and proms canceled, we know that's tough,
and we're not trying to make light of that.
- We have never had anything like this happen to us,
and we know nothing like this has ever happened to you.
And by the way, we're very proud of the way
that you're handing this.
- Absolutely.
I am so proud of you guys for staying at home.
I hope you remember some of the good stuff
when you tell your kids about this.
- This is one of those times when following the rules
is super hard.
- Yeah.
- But you're doing a really good job of it.
- Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Oh, nice!
- [Kim] Oh!
- [Penn] Yeah, she's got that in her DNA.
- [Kim] Okay, Lola, I'm impressed!
- [Penn] Yeah, they got-- - [Kim] I mean,
- [Penn] They got that one in their DNA.
- [Kim] They were born with that.
(laughter)
