What Is the “What’s Up Brother” Trend?
The “What’s up brother” TikTok trend largely sees women asking their partners, “What’s up brother?” before they reply with his catchphrase and iconic moves. It originated from Sketch, who frequently says “brother” while pointing his index finger into the air. He also has a number of other incredibly popular and frankly catchy catchphrases, including “Tuesday, Tuesday” and “special teams, special plays, special players.”
Naturally, fans of his have been pushing the trend on TikTok and other social media platforms. However, by far, the biggest boost to the trend was when famous people, including athletes from the NFL, NBA, and PGA Tour, began doing it. In fact, the NFL’s official TikTok account posted a clip of Sketch with the caption, “That’s right, brother!” Tanner Thomas of the Savannah Bananas partner touring team, the Party Animals, also posted a TikTok of the team repeating the popular catchphrase. Wild stuff.
