  • LA's TikTok kids descend on Boa Steakhouse in bedazzled jackets while paparazzi follow them around asking about their relationships.
  • These kids are tiny, went viral two years ago, and are now millionaires living in LA while their parents are probably out of work.
  • Imagining these TikTok kids in old age explaining that during the pandemic they were dancing in the Hollywood Hills making millions.
  • Paparazzi who came to LA to film real celebrities now have to follow 16-year-old TikTok kids around Starbucks.
  • Tim jokes about what would be funny if a paparazzi guy just had a complete breakdown on camera in front of the TikTok kids.
  • The fake interview video starts with paparazzi confronting kids about cancel culture and their personal drama.
  • One kid in the video nailed his part in one take, getting the emotional tone right about his mother's COVID death.
