He’s 28, though. Isn’t that Gen Z? Asking @TornPaperNapkin as well.
This reminds me of a Norm MacDonald bit on Weekend Update. He makes some weird joke about women and the audience boos. He then says “Hey, cut it out, that was funny, that joke was written by a woman.” The audience makes another noise and he says “yeah, see. (Pause) Actually it wasn’t, I lied. Now you don’t know what to think.” It was a great bit of improv skewering our ideas about who can make a joke at whose expense.
The whole thing is him making fun of the stereotypes of his generation. While he’s no Eddie Murphy, it’s not far off from Murphy’s old routines about his family and his neighborhood.
