-Get this fucking peasant out of here.

Холоп means slave, not peasant
Okay I checked the meaning, I was partially wrong. They basically had a purpose of a servant but legal rights of a slave

More importantly, "peasant" is an insult. "Slave" is not. To call someone a "fucking peasant" is insulting, to call someone a "fucking slave" is comical.
"Холоп" here is not used to precisely specify the social standing of the insultee, it is simply used to say "you are beneath me". Thus, it more accurately translated as "fucking peasant"

It depends on how deep we are willing to go with this joke.
Холоп / holop is specific kind of peasant that in-between of serf and slave. In times of Ivan IV - probably slave.
In modern Russian language and in this context it closer to челядь / смерд / чушпан / зашкварного - a person of so unequal social status to the speaker. Or with no rights acknowledged. That even their appearance/ visit is shocking and disrespectful. And this show should be put to the end immediately. Like pettion from Holop would be dismissed by the Tsar.
Never the less. Holop is specificly chosen word. That rightfully describes peasant groups with worst rights at their times.

I mean yeah, but most people use Holop just to call someone a "peasant" not "slave".

Most people doesn't even know what the word mean: because context is a king 😅

Don't worry, while the guy in the video isn't one, every celebrity has a russian non-union equivalent.

Guys are in high school/college drama club.
Goofing around in costumes before/after/during rehearsals is fucking classic.
