Place it right after the expensive plan or purchase is mentioned, so the broke reaction becomes the payoff. Follow it with Emotional Damage for a bigger reaction, or put Bruh before it to set up the disbelief. Keep it as a single beat inside a short skit, not as the opening.
Over dit geluid
This short Pablito Seco clip runs for just over two seconds and centres on him caught short of money, with the joke landing on his empty-pocket situation rather than on any long setup. It feels wry, awkward and instantly relatable, the kind of broke-moment humour that works because almost everyone has been there.
