We'll be right back is a classic television bumper phrase, but this version was popularised by The Eric Andre Show, the Adult Swim talk show hosted by Eric Andre that premiered in 2012. Its abrupt bumpers became a reaction meme on YouTube and social media, where editors borrow the break as a punchline for cringe, chaos or failure. The joke relies on shared TV language everyone recognises instantly, which is why the short sting still works even without any footage from the original show.
