[splash]
[school bell ringing]
[indistinct chatter]
[tapping phone]
- My dang TikTok won't open.
[audience laughter]
[noises of indignation]
Oh, oh, I can't believe this!
Do you see what time it is?!
Where is the teacher?
This is ridiculous!
[audience laughter]
Surprise!
I am your teacher.
[audience laughter]
Welcome to Psychology 101.
[mimics explosion]
[audience laughter]
My name is Dr. Meredith Reddings
and I know what you're thinking.
Why the grand entrance?
Hm?
Psychology is all about twisting expectations
that are made up in your mind.
It's all about this crazy thing.
[audience laughter]
[clears throat]
Will Spencer Unger please stand up?
Sir?
Where are you?
Spencer?
- I'm a woman.
[clipboard slams]
- What?!
[mimics explosion]
I bet you thought she was gonna be a man,
didn't you?
- [non-committal grunt]
[audience laughter]
- Well, surprise.
Thank you, Spencer.
[audience laughter]
- So is she like, not a real student, or...?
[audience laughter]
- Who knows the definition of cognition?
Hm?
No one, okay, okay.
[clears throat]
What's your name, sis?
- Taylor?
- Taylor, define cognition.
[gasps]
- [nasally voice] I can't,
a cute sorority girl like me
couldn't possibly know a term like that!
Gosh, well,
if I had to guess, I'd say,
[regular voice] all the mental activities
associated with thinking,
knowing, remembering,
and communicating.
Surprise, a girl like me can be smart, too.
[both mimic explosions]
- So is she not really in the class either, or--
Dr. Reddings: Shh!
[mimics explosion]
I will teach you lessons that you will never forget.
I will break you down,
I will lift you back up, I will--
You're late!
- Oh, sorry, it's just really hard
to get all the way across campus--
- How dare you!
Get out of my classroom, now!
Go!
[audience laughter]
[crutches clattering]
[thud, grunts]
[audience laughter]
[disturbing chewing sounds]
- Chocolate!!!
[audience laughter]
- [mimics explosion]
- So also not a student?
[audience laughter]
- Say hello to your TA for the semester, Kyle.
[both mimic explosions]
[books and supplies clattering]
- What?
Our books!
[audience laughter]
[match striking]
- What are you doing, those are expensive!
- We don't go by the books around here.
- What's going on?
I smell smoke!
- President Jeffson, I was just--
- You started a fire?
- I'm teaching these students psychology!
[mimics explosion]
- No, enough with the "pshh," okay?
I have told you before to just teach the class.
- But President, she was just--
- I'm not talking to you, Kyle,
I am talking to...
The best psychology professor this university has ever seen.
[audience laughter]
[all mimic explosions]
- It's gonna be a long semester.
- [mimics explosion]
- Oh my gosh.
[audience applause]
- Thank you for watching Studio C.
[mimics explosion]
- Whoa.
- Be sure to study the dynamics of the mind
by liking and sharing this sketch
with your friends.
[mimics explosion]
- Okay.
- And free yourself from boredom
by downloading the BYUtv app.
[mimics explosion]
- [mimics explosion]
- No, see, only I do that.
- Ah, sorry.
[almost silent pshh]
- Not even that.
