Abbott Elementary Has Fans In Stitches Over The Iconic Mini Mr. Johnson Costume

One Twitter user wrote “lmaooooooo. the lil kid as mr. johnson,” sharing a screen grab of the young actor telling a teacher “that costume is trash.” He received further praise for his performance, with another user writing “Not mini Mr. Johnson sounding just like adult Mr. Johnson…” Truthfully, the actor does a pretty amazing impersonation of Johnson’s raspy snark, committing to the bit for the entire episode. Another user wrote “MINI MR JOHNSON GOT ME CRYING GIVE THIS KID AN AWARD.”

Mini Mr. Johnson wasn’t the only young standout from “Abbott Elementary’s” Halloween special. In one of the episode’s best moments, Mini Mr. Johnson tracks Baby Thanos down, and the two resolve the conflict without breaking their respective characters — they even mimic this classic moment from “Avengers: Infinity War.” One user wrote about the pair, “Lets give these two young actors a round of applause. Hilarious!” while another said, “Baby Thanos & Mr Johnson Jr CARRIED this episode.”

Paying respect to the original Mr. Johnson, William Stanford Davis, one viewer tweeted “i say it every time but making mr johnson a regular was one of the best ideas they could’ve had.”
