I feel like his should’ve been redone for the memeissance, something like, “how do you do, fellow 2023 memes?”

Nah I think that’d ruin the comedic timing

I don’t agree that it even touches the timing. Because the original joke is that he’s trying to fit in with kids when it’s obvious he’s not. Instead, this makes it seem like the meme is trying to fit in with memes (which it is still a meme, so that doesn’t make sense)
