For a bit on Thursday's Tonight Show, Dwayne Johnson and Jimmy Fallon are two guys at their senior prom who talk a big game but are unable to pronounce words right while in the presence of a girl. The prom is allegedly taking place in 2016, but the pastels and poofy hair feel more 1986 and the "ermahgerd" is straight out of 2012. In the end, Johnson and Fallon make up for the inability to speak with an awkward dance and kind of adorable prom picture. Watch the video below. Catherine Garcia
