If you haven’t yet discovered comedian Trey Johnson‘s social media antics, you’re truly missing out. His comedic sketches cover everything from summer girl behavior to the realities of motherhood and the trials of living with a teenager. His latest parody, titled “Every Mom in America Right Now,” perfectly encapsulates the struggles parents are facing in this new, pandemic-driven reality.
The video opens with Johnson reacting to the news that schools will be closed indefinitely, exclaiming, “Oh goodness, grant me patience.” As a mom watching this, I felt that deep in my bones. He then humorously sprays himself with disinfectant and vows not to let the entire quarantine turn into a video game marathon.
As he attempts to juggle chores, homeschooling, and organizing the house, the comedy unfolds with scenes of meltdowns and tantrums (from the moms, not the kids). Seriously, why is it that every room seems to be filled with children asking for something every single minute?
Johnson also throws in some over-the-top antics, including a few cheeky jokes and countless “I’m bored” remarks, making the video a mirror of our current lives. The pinnacle of his portrayal comes when he wheels in a liquor cart to his bedroom, a humorous nod to the fact that liquor stores are seeing unprecedented lines right now.
He even takes a moment to quietly sob on the couch, a relatable scene for so many parents who realize, day five into quarantine, that this is only the beginning. For those of us now navigating full-time jobs from home while trying to educate our kids, these moments of despair may quickly become a daily occurrence.
Of course, no quarantine experience would be complete without a few rounds of “shut the heck up” echoing through the house, as social distancing somehow coincides with a peak in household noise levels.
Johnson’s comedic take offers a much-needed dose of humor during these uncertain and often daunting times. While no one knows how long this situation will last or when our lives will return to some semblance of normalcy, his video serves as a reminder that we’re all in this together—no matter how isolated we might feel.
