The high school senior prom can be the best - or worst - night of a teenager's life.

And it looked like Jimmy Fallon and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson fell into the latter category when they dressed up in their tuxes for a hilarious skit on Thursday's The Tonight Show.

The pair played awkward teens who didn't have dates for the Saugerties High School party - Jimmy's actual alma mater - and weren't likely to find ones.

Party people: Jimmy Fallon and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson played awkward teenagers as they donned tuxedos for their Ermahgerd Prom Guys sketch on Thursday's The Tonight Show

In the Ermahgerd Prom Guys sketch they tried, and failed dismally, to talk to girls.

Dwayne, 44, wore a black wig and the show host's smile revealed braces on his teeth

'Got your eyes on anyone tonight?' Jimmy, 41, asked his pal. 'Of course,' Dwayne replied. 'But I like to just sit back and let 'em come to me.'

Since they were standing right by the drinks table it wasn't long before a girl called Stacey walked up - and the pair completely blanked.

Ramping up the confidence: Dwayne, wearing a wig, and Jimmy bumped fists ready to wow the girls

With the teen bravado draining away, Jimmy's jaw locked and he eventually spluttered out: 'Ermahgerd, Stercey, yer lerk spertacular'

'Woah, what the heck was that?' The Rock asked as she walked away.

He didn't so any better with Britney. 'Ermahgerd, Brertny! May I have this dernce?' Dwayne said, before he compared her to Beyoncé - 'Hershterg, lemonerde.'

Not going well: The teen confidence drained away when the show host tried to talk to the first girl who came along. His jaw locked and he eventually spluttered out: 'Ermahgerd, Stercey, yer lerk spertacular'

He's no better: The Rock was equally flummoxed by Britney or 'Brertny' as he called her through clenched teeth

A third girl, Sterphernie, was grossed out by their attempt to make mashed potatoes by slowly chewing mouthfuls of chips and left, completely disgusted.

And Dwayne got a 'berner alert' when a girl actually asked him to dance, leaving him utterly embarrassed and unable to perform.

A that point Jimmy gave up. 'We don't need to dance with dates to have fun,' he said, telling the DJ to hit the music as they hit the floor.
