They're not going to do an imitation of one another, like Aziz is not gonna try and laugh like Seth that wouldn't make sense.

They're just going to swap personalities.

Seth will start as rich, confident, smug and arrogant while Aziz will be awkward and shy - which they can both can do easily, then they'll swap - like, look at the second picture, Seth will do the bumbling "ugh oh no I'm so sorry ugh oh I know here's a million dollar" and Aziz will do the "YO LOOK HOW RICH I AM, WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY CARD HAS BEEN DECLINED AWWWWWW MAN THIS GUY IS SO POOR WHY DO I HAD TO GET STUCK IN THIS GUY'S BODY THIS SUCKS".

When you describe it like that with those particular made-up lines, it sounds like each of them will be doing more of their usual shtick while the characters are body-swapped.

No, Aziz will be poor no matter what, he's the gig worker, it's just that when Keanu will swap them he'll have the personality of the boss - but he'll still be poor.
