UPS driver is a Disney Prince from @bkcoffeeshop

A man dressed as a UPS driver enters a coffee shop and, after drinking a coffee, magically transforms and reveals he is the 'Prince of Brooklyn,' a gay Disney prince. He explains his backstory and love for Brooklyn through a series of musical numbers, much to the confusion and amusement of the two baristas. The sketch satirizes Disney tropes, modern gay culture, and Brooklyn stereotypes, culminating in the prince disappearing in a puff of smoke without paying.
