A pair of thick-accented New Yorkers from Staten Island have gone viral with profanity-laden, laugh-out-loud TikTok videos blasting the inflation crisis that’s gripped America under Joe Biden’s regime.

Inflation hurts everyone, but I feel particularly bad for young people trying to get their adult lives started. Gone are the days when many of them could realistically hope to own their own home one day – they’re struggling just to pay for a car and save up enough rent to get out of their parent’s basements.

But the Scarlotta twins – JoJo and Nicky – are taking it in stride, and many on the internet are laughing. If you do not like profanity, best turn away now because there's plenty of it here.

Here’s one of the twins going off on car insurance rates (Warning: constant coarse language):

Here, the brothers absolutely go off on the price of haircuts, groceries – everything. JoJo starts throwing (verbal) haymakers:

I’ve been saying this for the last f***ing three years; it’s the same haircut I was getting when it was 15 dollars with a five-dollar tip, now I gotta spend 40 dollars – for WHAT?! 

Just, just – same ***ing haircut, just double the price, and pass it to the next f***ing person.

This next clip, watched by millions, appears to show some male relatives in the kitchen ticked off about the rising price of food. These guys are straight out of a Scorsese movie:

JoJo said in an interview that he doesn’t shy away from showcasing his Italian-American heritage in the videos, in fact he embraces it.

In my opinion, it pays a little homage to more or less like "The Sopranos," that type of, that type of vibe. And I'm here for it. I am here for it.

While these guys are get-out funny, the reality is not. Prices are up 17.3 percent since Biden took office, and mortgage rates are averaging above seven percent.

How’s that “Inflation Reduction Act” working out, Joe?

JoJo asked in the interview, how are we supposed to survive?

What I did notice under the Biden administration was that gas, the price of housing, almost everything that you could name under the sun's gone up — the car insurance, you know what I mean?

And it's very, very hard because I don't know what they expect, you know, the working class, the middle class to do. You know [the] people who have just one income. How do they expect people to survive?

Times may be tough, but I have a feeling these two funny guys will be just fine. JoJo explains his background and his philosophy in his interview:

My father, my mother, they've been working my entire life, too. My father can work two or three jobs my entire life. He instilled that in us at a very early age. So we all know what it is to work very hard for a dollar.

And to be honest, just a lot of conversations at the dinner table of my mom and my father talking about prices, my father and his brother, my Uncle Tony, talking about prices, how pastrami went from $12.99 to $13.99 a pound, how sliced honey turkey went from $8.99 to $10.99.

Sounds like the same conversation going on at family dinner tables all over the country.
