The premise

Here’s the bit.

Two friends in medical scrubs join Colin Jost to explain why strangers keep mistaking them for the Menendez brothers. Their guide to last-minute Halloween outfits turns familiar costumes into unsettling references to celebrity scandals, election rhetoric and television. Even a pair of miniature Weekend Update anchors gets an unflattering interpretation.
