About

Bro You're Fucking Latinx refers to an Impact font image macro meme showing Jersey Shore cast member Pauly D screaming with top and bottom captions reading, "Bro you're fucking Latinx." The image was originally shared on Twitter / X in early 2024. It was praised across many posts for being surprisingly funny despite its simplicity and old internet style. Some recaptioned the meme or posted the base image without the text to spread it as an inside joke. Some even shared a screenshot of a "Jersey Shore Throwback Clip" YouTube video called, "Pauly D Loses His Cool," which used Pauly D yelling as its thumbnail.
