Deaf DJ Plays Blink-182

Deaf DJ

A young man labeled “Deaf DJ” talks about how surprisingly well the DJ is performing, then realizes the person beside him is the interpreter and asks for a song. He requests Blink-182, and the punchline is that the DJ responds through an exaggerated silent-DJ performance with flashy sunglasses and a confident pose. The spoken dialogue and music setup make the ableist misunderstanding the central joke.

You know, I don't want to sound ableist, but this deaf DJ is doing a surprisingly good job. Right? The only problem is I don't know how to request a song. Oh, that's his interpreter right next to him. Just ask him. Perfect. Thank you. Hey, can you play some Blink 182? I got you. DJ.
