    I literally don’t get it. I just don’t. Where do people do that? Online somewhere? On TikTok? Help

      Right character is acting like online replies where they didn’t even really read the original. I mean, they read it, but they’re just reacting without really thinking.

        Yeah it’s like “reacting” to live content (a human conversation) while it’s ongoing. The joke is bro is acting like an anonymous member of the chat (chorus or peanut gallery, for my fellow olds) in a face to face convo, which is not appropriate.

        I have actually noticed this trend of people of youth making little chirps or ironic barks (to use vg nomenclature) under their breath while a conversation is ongoing. This isn’t totally new ofc, it’s just my generation would be more like “uh huh” “yeah” “oh totally” as non-interrupting encouragement, but not so much with the ironic riffing.

        I think it’s kind of funny, but like anything there’s a time and as place

          Did you ever have a friend who would, no matter how many times they’ve already said it or how little sense it makes, always take the opportunity to say, “that’s what she said”?

          I think it’s kinda like that, the guy on the left is trying to have a normal conversation but the person on the right here’s something that triggers their infested brain and they just have to blurt out the totally hilarious joke. This completely kills the conversation, and the one trying to talk is looking at his buddy like, what the hell is wrong with you?
