Dwayne Johnson and Jimmy Fallon mock graduations with terrible advice from the Class of '89
The two kids with the lowest GPAs in the Oneonta High Class of 1989 know the word "prerogative," thanks to Bobby Brown, so you know Jimmy Fallon and Dwayne Johnson did their homework — or, more likely, remember 1989 pretty well (also, let's be honest, 1989's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure). The conceit of this bit from Thursday's Tonight Show is that high schools sometimes let the low-achievers give commencement addresses, too, and that they would make horrible predictions from the future. Such as: "Don't get caught up in fads that won't last, like 'computers,'" says Johnson's character, Logan Duffy. The kicker is the '80s-style "this is what happened to..." wrap-up before the closing credits. Watch and bask in the nostalgia below. —Peter Weber
