There were many throwback moments during the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, but perhaps the funniest — and most nostalgic — was a reenactment of an iconic scene from I Love Lucy.

Tracee Ellis Ross and Natasha Lyonne recreated the first episode of the beloved show's second season, stepping in for Lucille Ball, who played Lucy, and Vivian Vance, who portrayed Ethel.

In the original scene, the pair were tasked with wrapping chocolates on a moving conveyor belt, but the belt moved so quickly, they couldn't keep up and ended up desperately stuffing their mouths, hats and blouses with candies to hilarious effect.

For the Emmys reenactment, Ross took on the iconic role of Lucy while Lyonne was Ethel. The actresses shooed away host Anthony Anderson, who tried to help out, as Ross said, "Let us have our moment!"

Once the conveyor belt got moving, they struggled to grab each chocolate, and toggled between shoving them in their mouths and piling them into their clothes.

With a mouthful of chocolate, Lyonne and Ross mumbled through an announcement of the nominees for outstanding comedy series, which included Abbott Elementary, Jury Duty, Barry, The Bear, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Only Murders in the Building, Ted Lasso and Wednesday.
