The professor is attempting to show the difference between British English and American English, specifically that the British drop their Rs in certain places:

Professor: Could everyone try to be British and say this word: “Beers”.
Class: Be-as! Be-as!
Loud Girl in Back: IT’S PRONOUNCED “STOUT”!

Restroom, Buffalo Blues, Shadyside:

White Girl in Stall #1: Bring back the Decade!
White Girl in Stall #2: Which decade would you bring back?
White Girl in Stall #1: You know, like the `50s. That’d be a good one to bring back. White Girl in Stall #2: I say bring `em all back!

White Girls leave stalls, laughing and wash their hands.

Drunk Black Woman in Stall #3: She said bring ‘em ALLLL back! We be in 1870 wearing ruffled shirts! We be like pirates and shit!!

— Overheard by a supporter of ‘bringin’ ‘em all back’ in stall #4
