The Repairman was a recurring sketch on Nickelodeon's All That, the 1990s sketch-comedy show built around a young ensemble cast. Kel Mitchell played the title character, a self-assured handyman who turned up to repair everyday problems with far more confidence than competence. The repeated man chant became one of his signature bits, easy to quote and easy to recognise even out of context. As clips from the show circulated online, fans kept the catchphrase alive in reaction videos and nostalgia edits, where it still works as shorthand for misplaced confidence.
