Whenever I see "IYKYK" I get very annoyed because you COULD just explain it instead.

That's fair enough. Frequently when I've seen a reference to the joke I'm referencing, it's followed by a "IYKYK", so I figured it's fun for those who already do. It's a reference to an old Folgers ad in which a brother and sister behave in an implausibly affectionate way toward each other. It's just bad acting, but viewed with a cynical mindset, it seems very suspicious.

ohhhh. i didn't connect the dots between the commercial and the CEO, who I assume had nothing to do with it.

Obviously the second half is a satire skit, but it's pretty convincing unless you're actually looking.
