About

What's Your Talent, Bro? Did That Just Happen? refers to a viral video of an Instagram Live recording in which the host asks, "What's your talent, bro?" to a new person who spanks their bare behind in response. The host kicks them out and then says, "Did that just happen? Aight, I'm out." The original video was a Live hosted by Instagram user @bloutgoggles in 2018. In 2025, the video resurfaced on TikTok and inspired an animation meme trend in which animators showed different characters from pop culture as the host and spanker.
