Comedy sketch of Gen Z making Millennials feel old

I’ve been trying to find for a while now a video comedy sketch that I first saw online a few years ago, in which Millennials talking about Seinfeld are made to feel ancient by their new GenZ colleague. In fact, the Millennials’ hair turns gray, they start wearing shawls, and crying out with a punchline, “My hip!” This continues around the office until the Millennials ask a GenXer in the office to intervene, so he starts talking to the GenZer about mortgages and 401(k)s, returning the Millennials to their true age and turning the GenZer into a little kid. Does anyone know where I can find this sketch online? Thanks!
This gave me five solid minutes of joy. Thank you for asking.

I've noticed that in the comedy sketches that acknowledge the existence of Gen X, we are always the harassed responsible ones.

That was well done. As a Boomer, though, I felt it could've benefited from my generation's experience, which, it's funny, reminds me of this one time just around the Cuban Missile Crisis, The Beverly Hillbillies had just premiered, and we were enjoying 31 cent/gallon gas...

Were you wearing an onion on your belt, as was the style at the time?

Well, not a white onion, because of the war…
