    I spotted zero famous people. Also, I don't get it.

    I'm so white I couldn't understand 90% of what they were saying.

    Lost my shit at the Halloween scene, though. Too bad it wasn't longer.

    You know you're doing bad when *I* recognize someone. Pretty sure the "Hide Yo Kids" dude was in there for a bit.

    I find this to be particularly interesting. Where are you from?

    Not America, for one. Eastern European country. It's too shitty to attract immigrants, hence no racial minorities (if you don't count gypsies); maybe you get to see one or two black people in a day on mass transit in the capital city, which can be safely assumed to be tourists. (I once saw four black people in a day. Four!) I don't think I've ever heard ebonics spoken in real life, by actual people near me.

    When I watch The Wire I have to have subtitles on because I can't understand much of what's said, especially by the black people of Baltimore. I thought it might just be me, but the rest of the family needs subs too.

    I've heard that some Australians are subtitled when they're interviewed on TV in the USA; so turnabout's fair play, right?

    I recognize the weirdly cute asian girl in the final part. No idea on the name though. I could umderstand two thirds, and I think that's awesome. I don't listen to rap music, with very few exceptions, so I understood mainky thing I saw from stand up comedians and comedies. @Damask , I'm curious, balkans, baltic or other eastern europe? I will take a ultra wild guess and say Bielo Russia.

    I laugh at the idea of people needing subtitles for this.

    I found it easy to follow because I've watched Mean Girls way too many times.

    I've never heard of Mean Girls but the dialect was no issue.

    Eh it was a youtube thing. Didn't find it especially funny. The thing with all the different cliques killed me though.

    I'm from Baltimore so when people mention accents in the wire I giggle a little inside.
