Nice production values (except for the sound levels - the music was distractingly loud and intrusive) but I agree with Ben about the content. The idea of a tough guy cooing over daft text messages in the middle of a major drug deal is a funny one, but the sketch doesn't do much with the concept beyond the obvious. The latino guys get increasinly aggravated, as is to be expected, and the situation becomes heated. The only surprise is the reveal, and only then because I didn't understand it. A child's phone plays a Spongebob ringtone? How does that relate to what came before it?
I think the drug buyers are deemed child like because they are being silly laughing at a text during a Drug deal and making themselves look unprofessional and not impressing the drug sellers.
Then all of a sudden the Drug sellers underling also makes them look silly by having a sponge bob ring tone. I must say the "Harlem Shake" skit got me and it got me good!
