The clip is credited to Peruvian comedian Jorge Luna, and centres on que fue mano, a casual Peruvian Spanish expression using mano, short for hermano, to address someone as man or bro. The phrase is a familiar, everyday way of asking what happened or what is going on, which is why the short recording works so well outside its original context. Shared as a brief downloadable reaction clip, it has found a second life on soundboards and in chats, where Spanish-speaking creators use it to answer confusion, surprise and strange moments with a single recognisable line.
