Step Brothers is a 2008 American comedy film starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as Brennan Huff and Dale Doback, two unemployed adult men who become stepbrothers when their parents marry. The insult comes from their constant bickering as they are forced to share a house, and the blunt line was later clipped for soundboards and short video edits. Like the Bruh meme, it spread because it delivers instant disbelief in a few seconds, and creators still use it to mock exaggerated claims, bad advice, and overconfident arguments in reaction videos.
