I’m white, and I think what makes it funny, like most of the movie, is the absurdism of it. It only works by having an old white lady being the one who understands black slang
That old white lady was the actress who played June Cleaver of “Leave It To Beaver” - a 50s(?) b&w white-bread conservative-family-values-americana TV show
I know why it’s funny. The joke is extremely obvious, but it’s like laughing at Cartman being racist in South Park. The show is hilarious and I feel “bad” at laughing at some jokes. That’s all.

That was the biggest part of the gag.
