afaict this reeks of being potentially just gen-ai-slop, but if not then at the very least the machine-generated voiceover & non-disable-able onscreen transcript were an unending misery for me to endure. yet, despite that, much of this was simply hilarious.

i was thinking more about this, & as is my wont, inevitably went for a(nother) negative take, being... to the extent that much of this early 20th century cultural cliché actually still lives on in genuine usage today, by which i mean when used unironically, i suspect it's probably more #bogan than otherwise, & if so, then ipso facto, would such speakers be heavily represented nowadays in the PHON cohort? or, counterfactual, given i regard most PHONers as fundamentally intellectually bereft, would they actually comprehend such idiom, ergo, maybe amongst PHONers such use is actually depressed? and then, if so, where is contemporary unironic usage clustered; non-orange bogans? we need some Venn diagrams!
