Se loko num compensa is a Brazilian Portuguese slang reaction that spread through meme edits, short videos and WhatsApp audios in Brazil. The wording is an informal spelling of a phrase meaning someone is crazy and it is not worth it, which made it easy to reuse as a ready made response. Clips are usually trimmed to the spoken line alone, so the joke works even without the original context. Its popularity comes from how quickly it shuts down expensive, risky or pointless ideas in everyday conversation online.
