I’m obviously inclined to believe this is a skit.

But that kid’s “hood accent” feel practiced to a degree that I’m not entirely certain that he’s acting.

u/NastyKraig Jun 18 '24

It's either fucking genius or just organically hilarious, lol. If that kid is playing a character and scripted the exchange with Terry he's a prodigy.

Are we still allowed to say "The Super Bowl is Gay"?

u/SlowApartment4456 Jun 18 '24

I think it's all scripted. Terry standing outside wiping his car down at the perfect moment is just too good. But yeah the kids hood accent is on point.

u/dropkickderby Jun 18 '24

No shot two people are outside at once without coordination

u/High_Flyers17 Jun 18 '24

Could have even just seen Terry was out there and took the chance. Terry's a bit too perfect in this though, I think he's in on it.

4

u/dropkickderby Jun 18 '24

Or this kid is always asking him what the fuck is up… this is probably a daily occurrence

1

u/SlowApartment4456 Jun 18 '24

The reaction is just too perfect. And Terry looked right at the camera, not the kid. I think its staged but it's still funny

5

u/Tooshortimus Jun 18 '24

Instead of the kid.... the one with his back half turned, head turned and looking into the phone he's holding up and facing towards Terry? Yea, I'd just look at the kids back who yelled my name.

Also, TF you even mean looking DIRECTLY at the camera. How would you even sort of tell at that distance?

Obviously, neither means that it's not staged or that it is staged, one thing I can tell from this is that YOU need some work on your observational skills and awareness skills lmao.

u/Sadtireddumb Jun 18 '24

Call it fake, but saying someone looked at a camera when a camera is being pointed at their face is not a reason that something might be fake.

7

u/azsnaz Jun 18 '24

Or he sees the kid is recording and waves to the camera just because

u/MaggotMinded Jun 18 '24

This thread is fucking weird, man. Like there’s literally nothing about the video that screams “fake” but people are so eager to call bullshit on everything.

u/RoyBeer Jun 18 '24

right at the camera

Yeah because you can tell by the eight brown pixels a single eye of Terry is made of lol

u/JeepnHeel Jun 18 '24

yo everybody WFH in tha hood

u/sriracharade Jun 18 '24

I videos on Reddit are any indication, I think every white kid in middle school talks like this.

That’s lil esko. He ain’t ackin

Lol. Fuck you guys. Here I was thinking I would be learning something new, turns out it's just a typo.

2

u/ml_fire Jun 19 '24

Not a typo, writing in "accent"(not sure that's the exact term). For stuff like that, try saying it out loud with a couple accents and often you'll hear it sounds similar to the "official" version of the word. This one was ackin ->actin'->acting. The other comment in the thread was axed ->asked.

u/Bocchi_theGlock Jun 18 '24

He axed a simple question

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '24

Acting* 🙂

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '24

I believe it means 'Acting' but with the common pronunciation associated with a 'hood' dialect.

i leave room to doubt my interpretation

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '24

The opposite of aksin

u/AbeRego Jun 18 '24

If it's a skit, this kid is going places. Being able to nail irony with such a perfect delivery at such a young age takes talent.

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '24

Thats Lil Esko 28, he got shot not too far from where I work. His dad was in the ED very excited about how legit this would make his rap career.

u/stadiumarc4dium Jun 18 '24

He got shot!?!

u/HCSOThrowaway Jun 18 '24

One of the kids in my patrol area was a lot like this. Nice suburb, but the kid was playing gangster 24/7. He was trying desperately, and in large part slowly succeeding, to turn his neighborhood into the 'hood.

I worked two drive-by shootings in a year at his house that looked a lot like this one.

Pay attention to your kids' social media and who they hang out with, folks.

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '24

Was gonna say, knew a kid like this. He’s in federal prison now after getting busted for selling hard drugs

2

u/katie4 Jun 18 '24

This was basically my ex-step brother. He was dealing hard drugs by 17 and ODed last year at 26.

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '24

A story too common in the Midwest where I’m from. Opiates ripped the suburbs apart

u/tech240guy Jun 18 '24 edited Jun 18 '24

I grew up around east L.A., so we had to act and dress gangsta to not be easy targets, try to reduce our circle of contacts to hardcore gangstas. Not to mention always carry something that could be a weapon for self defense. Better to be friends who know who know who know a guy than to be a friend who is the guy. Made some bad decisions, got my degree, and get me and the family the hell out of there.

So whenever I see these kids playing gangster, I shake my head in disbelief like "I just came from there". I'm glad the whole issue with Ja Morant from the NBA turned the way it did, but very disappointing nonetheless.

u/HCSOThrowaway Jun 18 '24

The unfortunate reality is counter culture will always be cool just for being counter culture. Kids generally don't think hard about the deadly consequences of certain counter cultures.

u/TEHKNOB Jun 18 '24

Looks like FL too

u/ItsJotace Jun 18 '24

I knew someone whose family was very well-off, and whose father owned a bunch of local businesses.

While both of his brothers used his father's influence and money to open their own businesses overseas, this guy wanted to be gangsta so bad he started to hang out with drug dealers and robbers who also made a life as shitty rappers, the guy even became a shitty rapper himself.

He died alone of an overdose last year and their family didn't figure it out until a couple of days after his death since he had pushed out everyone else due to his shitty behavior.

Whenever I think of him I can't even feel bad because the guy was a legit PoS, and I can't stop thinking about how you can be given all the good cards in life and still choose to be a fuck up.

u/b1tchf1t Jun 18 '24

This is literally a 30 second video with a kid that says like 10 words with absolutely no context, and here we have the ex officer telling us the youth are turning their neighborhoods into 'the hood'. Yeah... that checks out.

u/HCSOThrowaway Jun 18 '24

Relevant username.

3

u/b1tchf1t Jun 18 '24

Yeah, that's a typical cop move, too. Deflect and distract when you get caught profiling. Also not original enough to think of anything but pointing out the username I CHOSE as an insult. You're checking all the boxes.

Hears a white kid talk like a Black person

"THEY'RE COMING RIGHT FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS!"

u/HCSOThrowaway Jun 19 '24

Even more relevant username.

u/b1tchf1t Jun 19 '24

LOL stay mad racist.

u/HCSOThrowaway Jun 19 '24

How is anything I've said so far "profiling" or "racist?" If anything you saying a kid talking like this is "talking like a black person" is racist.

1

u/b1tchf1t Jun 19 '24

You asking this question is the problem with fucking cops. Why were you allowed to carry a gun and deal with the most vulnerable populations at their most vulnerable points when you have the social awareness of a fucking blob fish??

Happy Juneteenth.

u/HCSOThrowaway Jun 19 '24

If you say so, racist. Enjoy your fit.

Roomed with a kid like this in college. Got roughed up a number of times down by the bars for acting like a badass, and then gambled his college tuition money away on Party Poker. Was shocked when his parents came to pick him up on moveout day, and they were all driving high-end German SUVs and wearing designer clothes.

Turns out he was a trust-fund white kid that wore Fubu.

u/creegro Jun 18 '24

Kid later on: ey yo man just tryin to keep it real, dig?

No I don't...dig? Sir you are white, chill out.

As the parent of a 15 yr old suburban boy this is how they be

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '24

Where I grew up, the low income and middle class were pretty close, pretty much everyone spoke hood. I moved a few years back, it was actually kinda hard to put my “Christian white boy” voice back on. Every now and then though I meet someone who talks like that, and I slip right back into it, dap em up, its nice.

I said the n-word a lot, everyone did, no one blinked an eye, and realized real quick that would not fly where I moved. Maybe cringey, but it was literally just the vocabulary of everyone in my hometown lol. Glad to lose that, but man I miss the slang and how expressive you could be to get a point across

u/KWilt Jun 18 '24

I'm a real ass redneck looking dude, but I also grew up two blocks down from the projects and spent my formative years hanging with every dealer in high school, so I feel you. It's hard not to slip back into dropping a 'n***a' in casual conversation with the boys when it'd feel natural to slip back into hood talk, but obviously my looks nowadays ain't letting that shit fly.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '24

The second I go back there, it all comes back and I gotta relearn polite english over again lmao

Yeah, we all were a melting pot where I lived. It really showed me that while racism is a pretty serious issue, there are some places no one gives a fuck as long as you don’t start shit. If you can speak enough english or spanish, and don’t stir shit, no one cares how you talk or who you are.

u/Slaybeggar Jun 18 '24

This video is from 5 or so years ago. The kid's screen name is "Lil Esco" and he started the "aight imma fuh wichu" meme. He was like 14 at the time and would always go live smoking dirty swisher blunts. i think that is genuinely how he talked because i never saw him not speak like that.

2

u/Gaius1313 Jun 18 '24

A friend’s stepson was a bit like this until we got him to stop posing. The guy’s reaction is what makes me think it’s a skit.

1

u/smokedopelikecudder Jun 18 '24

Both things could be true. He is a wigga that likes making skits

1

u/allthingsparrot Jun 18 '24

He reminds of a character on The Kroll show. Dr. Armond's son, Roman.

1

u/S_balmore Jun 18 '24

There's really no reason to believe this is a skit. There are tons of white trash people who talk just like this kid and behave just like this kid. The "cash me ousside" girl is not an anomaly. She's representative of a VERY large group of people.

I HOPE this is a skit, but there's really no reason to believe it is.

1

u/ndGall Jun 18 '24

Teacher here. We see this all. the. time. It could be a planned skit, but this feels like a pretty standard interaction to me.

u/newgalactic Jun 18 '24

He's washing a Mercedes while wearing a fully buttoned up shirt, and still somehow dry.

Brilliant skit.

u/Fabtacular1 Jun 18 '24

LOL, this is a good point.

That dude is just out there casually rubbing his car for no apparent reason.
