Do you have a link? There are plenty of snippets that are easy to find, is there one canonical full video?

Here's a playlist that includes them: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcopJNj12opkoEDaj5lwP...

With some strange commentary, ended up watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ozZIWy7OWk from that playlist and I'm not sure it's AI or what's going on, at one point she said Afroman called one of the police officers a "PDF" which is the first time I heard, doesn't seem Afroman actually said something like that, and I also don't understand at all what's that's supposed to mean. Doesn't seem to be a typo either?

"PDF" is a zoomer euphemism for "pedophile".

Funnily, this started because their trying to avoid perceived insta shadow banning.

Yes, this sort of thing has been a plague against the English language for a few years now, responsible for such ugly constructions as "to unalive".

(I understand and respect the linguists who would maintain a descriptivist view of this sort of thing, but I'm not a linguist and I'm not required to suspend my aesthetic opinions whenever an ugly fashion rears its head.)
