SNL and Brigsby Bear star Kyle Mooney joined the cast this season, playing Tobias' bastard son Murphy-Brown Fünke, who Tobias is awkwardly trying to force into an acting career despite his own desire to work with animals.

Though it appears that Tobias' son is named after the Candice Bergen-starring sitcom, Tobias insists his peculiar moniker is inspired by a P.I. who worked for the Chicago Sun Times and the Washington Post.

As if this all isn't wonderfully cringey enough, Murphy-Brown straight-up declares his half-sister Maeby "very hot", and when taking him to Buster's buffet, Tobias says, "Let's put a nugget in your mouth."

The best moment of all, though? A disgusted George Sr. meeting Murphy-Brown and telling him, "Get me a Fanta on your way out of the family."

As for who the mother is? Place your bets now.
