This show has messed up a lot so far, but this episode was extra bad. What did it for me, was when these characters who are supposed to be turning 30 in the year 2022 are referencing Christina Aguilera's song "Dirrty" as their "dirty 30 party theme."
The characters would have been 10 when the song came out in 2002. So while they would've heard it, they absolutely would not have understood it, and their discovery of sexual songs to reference coming-of-age would not have happened for another 3 to 4 years.
Not to mention how the sheer term "dirty 30" is 95% exclusively heard by elder millennials (such as the actors in the show who are almost going on 40).
Honestly, the writers of the show are utterly terrible. They should just all give up and let some Gen Z kids write it. Hell, at least they would make it realistic and contemporary.
