DEEP DIVE
“Damn bro, you got the whole squad laughing” memes use a copypasta response to cliches and uncreative jokes. The perfect reply to a dad joke, “you got the whole squad laughing” has gone viral on Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, and beyond.
The first known iteration of this meme appeared on Reddit, paired with an image from Family Guy. Since then it has become a ubiquitous way to let someone know that you don’t find their joke to be amusing.
It’s not funny bro. Nobody cares bro. Literally nobody asked I don’t even care bro. from okbuddyretard
Similar to “that’s so funny I forgot to laugh,” this phrase can be a savage response to someone’s attempt at being funny.
