What’s up, brother? Today, I want to share a little story about how this phrase, “What’s up, brother?” blew up on the internet. It all started a while back when I was watching this gamer, Sketch, do his thing on Twitch. This dude is hilarious, and he’s got all these catchphrases that just crack me up.
So, I was watching one of his streams where he was playing Madden NFL, and he FaceTimed another streamer, Jynxzi. Out of nowhere, Sketch just goes, “What’s up, brother?” with this goofy hand gesture. It was so random and funny that it instantly became a thing among us viewers.
The Start
- Watching the Stream: I was chilling, watching Sketch play Madden on Twitch.
- The FaceTime Call: Sketch calls up Jynxzi, another popular streamer.
- The Catchphrase: Sketch says, “What’s up, brother?” with a funny hand gesture.
I started using it with my own friends. We’d call each other up and just randomly say, “What’s up, brother?” and burst out laughing. It was our little inside joke for a while. Then, I noticed it started popping up on TikTok. People were making videos pointing at the sky and saying, “What’s up, brother?” just like Sketch.
I saw these TikToks where girlfriends would walk up to their boyfriends, point their finger up, and say, “What’s up, brother?” The reactions were priceless! Some guys would play along, some were confused, but it was all in good fun. It was crazy to see how quickly it spread. One day it was just something Sketch said, and the next it was everywhere.
The Spread
- Starting with Friends: I began using the phrase with my own buddies.
- Seeing it on TikTok: Noticed people making videos with the phrase and gesture.
- Girlfriend Trend: Girlfriends started saying it to their boyfriends in TikTok videos.
I even tried it out myself. I walked up to my friend, pointed at the sky, and said, “What’s up, brother?” He cracked up immediately. We spent the next hour just messing around with it, trying to come up with different scenarios and reactions. It was a blast.
It is wild how something so simple could become such a big deal. I mean, it is just a guy saying “What’s up, brother?” but it brought so many people together. It is like a secret handshake for everyone who’s in on the joke. We are all brothers now.
Doing It Myself
- Trying It Out: I said it to my friend and we both had a good laugh.
- Experimenting: We tried different ways to use the phrase and had fun with it.
So, yeah, that’s the story of how “What’s up, brother?” became my favorite trend. It is funny, it is random, and it is a great way to connect with people. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a shot. Walk up to your friend, point at the sky, and just say, “What’s up, brother?” You will not regret it.
