No one plays the distracted child role quite as well as Day , and he pitches both the boyfriend who has no clew what ’s go on , and the little kid running around the city asking " What are shallots ? " perfectly .

He then runs into another long - terminal figure young man who is also on errands , " I ’m 38 and a one-half , " Kenan Thompson intones . Their childlike , abrupt " Bye ! ’s are a uproarious segue .
While the reality TV show parody and Day ’s manchild performance are highlights , it ’s Gomez ’s slow descent into frustration that really make the resume so funny . The whole skit , there is the question as to why these two are together if Matt is so pathetically incapacitated . This is why the interview bursts out laughing when Gomez , talking to the camera and feigning happiness with Matt ’s errands , drops her " world show voice " and deadpans , " We should just break up … We ’re basically roomy . " The euphony snub and Gomez asks what Matt thinks , and he barely responds .
