Part of a series on What Is You Talmbout? What I Do?. [View Related Entries]


About

What I Do ๐Ÿ’œ refers to a reaction and image macro meme featuring nail and makeup artist Jade Nguyen, aka PolishedByJade. The image shows a stylish Asian woman standing with her legs crossed and her hand on her hip, often shown in the format of a blurry Twitter post that reads, "What I Do." The phrase "What I Do" is in reference to a 2019-era Funny Marco YouTube prank video in which he pranks an Asian woman in a grocery store and breaks character after hearing her say, "What is you talmbout?" and "What I do?" in an AAVE accent. The phrase, "What I Do," alongside the images of the Jade Nguyen woman went viral on TikTok in late August and early September 2024, often incorporating a purple heart emoji.

Origin

On May 19th, 2019, Funny Marco posted a comedy video to his YouTube[1] page in which he walked around a grocery store and filmed people's reactions after he told them, "You were hella wrong for what you did."

At the 3:44-minute timestamp, Funny Marco comes across an Asian-American woman, who responds to him by saying, "What did I do?" and "What is you talking about," in a thick Southern or Atlanta accent, causing Marco to break character and tell her he's joking.

The woman's accent is often represented in text as her saying, "What I do?" and "What is you talmbout." The video gathered over 330,000 likes in five years (seen below).

Also in 2024, a blurry reaction image of an Asian woman with the text "what I do" above her began to make the rounds online. The earliest known post of the image is a June 15th, 2021, post by Twitter[2] user @yabbayussy (seen below, left), with X[3] user @RlCKYRAGE posting an AI-enhanced version of the image on July 30th, 2024, gathering over 75,000 likes in two days (seen below, right).

More TikTokers latched onto the meme in early September 2024, sometimes overlapping it with the Ellie and Mason House meme that was popularized in August 2024.

For example, TikToker[7] @nmillz1 posted a video jokingly ordering a "What I Do ๐Ÿ’œ Latte" on September 3rd, gathering 1 million views and 200,000 likes in a day.
