Tofiga recreates the births of his children


Tofiga ponders for a moment what the best moment in his life was, and then says “having my kids.” When Paul asks “Having your kids do what?”, Tofiga clarifies that he meant when they were born.
Tofiga then tells Paul that he can play his wife, before asking if there is a bed upstairs in the house. He quickly clarifies that the bed was for filming his recreation, not for making babies.
In his recreation, Tofiga is sitting by Paul, who is in a bed, playing the part of his expectant wife. Tofiga asks Paul if he is excited about the imminent birth of their first child. Paul says he is, and then groans, as if in labour.
Tofiga lifts up the cover at the bottom of the bed and exclaims that he can already see the feet. He then delivers the first baby, which is represented by a cushion with eyes, wrapped in a blanket. He claims he looks like his mum.
When Tofiga asks Paul what they should name him, Paul says he’s not sure, but says he is beautiful, before laying him on the floor by the bed and asking Tofiga “Round two?”. Tofiga asks if Paul can make it quick, as there’s an important rugby game on. Paul begins to wail again, before quickly giving birth to a second son, this time represented by a teddy bear wearing a nappy.
Tofiga then states “Last one should be easy pea, just like that. Just one push, and boom!”. Paul starts wailing again, and Tofiga reaches under the covers and grabs the third baby, before saying “It’s gone back in”. Tofiga tells Paul he needs to do it again, so Paul continues to wail as Tofiga pulls the baby out and pushes it back in a couple more times.
The third baby is eventually born, represented by a roll with a doll’s arm and a cut-out of someone’s head stuck to it. Tofiga claims it’s the most incredible moment of his life, as Paul gives the baby a little kiss.
In the studio, Jeremy says that he thought the performance was great, but as there were three moments and not just one, Tofiga earns 2 points.
