The meme format became popular in short edits on YouTube, Vine and later TikTok, where freeze frames, black bars and sunglasses turned simple moments into exaggerated displays of cool. It remains common because the groove is instantly recognizable and delivers the joke in a split second, much like a bruh reaction sting.
