Walton Goggins is a giant flirt in 'SNL' Mother's Day sketch

By giant, we mean uncomfortably huge flirt.

Who doesn’t love treating Mom to a nice Mother’s Day brunch? And who doesn’t also love when that brunch gets totally derailed by a waiter who just can’t stop hitting on your mom?

That’s the whole chaotic vibe of this Saturday Night Live sketch, with The White Lotus star Walton Goggins stepping in as a way-too-smooth server who turns up the charm on two brunching moms (played by Sarah Sherman and Heidi Gardner). Their unlucky sons (Mikey Day and Andrew Dismukes) are left to awkwardly witness the whole flirt-fest unfold.

This one’s either a hit or a hard pass — all depending on how much cringe you can stomach from pickup lines like, "You got to spend 9 months in yo mama, I’m trying to spend 20 minutes."
