‘For clerks, we all love’ the TikTok trend, he explained

Does the phrase “in da clerb, we all fam” heard circulating on TikTok sound familiar? Are they perhaps taking you back to the days of bandage dresses and mustaches before weed was legalized in New York City? That’s because they are the voices of Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer on their hit show The Broad City.

The Broad CityThe final episode may have aired in 2019, but if TikTok is any indication that Jacobson and Glazer are no-nonsense, the stoner jokes still resonate. In a clip that now has over 70,000 views, Abbi asks, “Do you know?” and Ilana replies, “No, but the clerk, we all know.” Abbi doesn’t understand and Ilana repeats it before saying, “In da club, we’re all family, are you racist?”

Everyone from Charli XCX and Troye Sivan to Sabrina Carpenter have lip-synced to the video, often with captions that describe a misunderstanding or a situation where “we’re all famous.” For example, Charli XCX and Sivan’s video reads, “re: twinks in the crowd at Sweat” about their joint tour. Carpenter’s said, “My 30-year-old fans are trying to talk to my 12-year-old fans.”

The audio was not uploaded to TikTok by Abbi and Ilana making its origin difficult to pin for many. But this incident was popular among The Broad City followers. A YouTube video of it posted 8 years ago has over 80,000 views. The comments section is full of age-old messages like, “This still makes me laugh so hard” and “I think about this scene a lot.”

Some fans are frustrated with the chat being seen as TikTok slang. Another X user wrote, “They call these Broad City lines ‘Tiktok talk’ for guys quoted this is a nightmare. My culture is not a costume. Halloween is coming, watch out, listen and learn.”
