It was previously revealed that Donald Glover helped "punch up" the jokes in Black Panther, but not which ones. Now that the flick is on DVD, we have some sort of insight into how Donald and his brother Stephen helped.

According to audio commentary on the DVD, one of the scenes that the Glover brothers worked on takes place shortly after T'Challa returns to Wakanda and gets ready to combat challengers to the throne. Zuri (played by Forest Whitaker) asks if any members of the royal family wishes to challenge T'Challa, at which point his sister Shuri raises her hand and complains, "This corset is really uncomfortable, so can we all wrap this up and go home?"

You know what? Better yet, just watch the first 17 seconds of this tweet—it sure beats reading about it:
