Also am I wrong for feeling like this sketch is mildly racist? Like the fact that 90% of the phrases they're using originated in Black American slang before they were used by gen Z. The joke just seems to be "haha they talk different" which in that context changes how it comes off. I dunno maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Yeah these actors are writing words written by a writer who learned from teenagers in their life who learned them from randos on the internet who learned them from black people for the most part. There’s a reason it sounds so stunted. It’s like a cultural game of telephone

Spectacular accumulation, or I guess in this case just cultural appropriation
