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.
