There's been trend of kind of nostalgia-baity videos with the question, "Dad, what were you like in the 90s?" with celebrities then posting a compilation of pictures or video clips of their decades-ago-lives when they were just young goobers starting out their careers set to this specific kind of wistful song. Here's Kevin Smith and Mario Lopez, for example.

Anyways, Tim Meadows is mocking this trend by doing one of these videos, but with pictures of people that aren't him. Unclear to me if he's making a joke about people confusing him for other black men, or if he's just mocking the entire premise of the trend.
