Sketch fans are taking over TikTok by copying the internet-famous Twitch streamer and his iconic “what’s up brother” catchphrase. Here’s what you need to know about this viral trend.
‘Sketch’ is a popular streamer on Twitch and a friend of Jynxzi, a broadcaster who catapulted to stardom in 2023 and took home two awards at the 2024 Streamer Awards.
Sketch is known for his classic catchphrase, where he lifts up a finger and says, “What’s up brother?”

Although the phrase caught on thanks to Sketch, another TikToker by the name Don Vincent started a trend using the streamer’s famous line that’s taking over the internet.
In a video that’s racked up over 3 million views in just five days, Vincent challenged his female viewers to approach their boyfriends with a finger up and ask them, “What’s up brother?”
