MemeStatusConfirmedType:SongYear2016OriginVineTagslgbt, lesbian, bros, gay, vine, anthony padilla, wrecknian, bumble-bee-tea, resistancefighterjaal, bobahunk Two Bros Chillin In A Hot Tub refers to a Vine video where Anthony Padilla sings a song about two other men relaxing in a jacuzzi, inferring that they are far apart from each other so they don't appear homosexual. The Vine became popular on Tumblr as an example of heterosexual males being lightly mocked. The video was created by Vine user and former Smosh member Anthony Padilla. The original Vine[1] was posted on May 30th, 2016 with the caption "what's the opposite of gaydar?" (shown below). There, it gained 74,000 likes, 23,000 revines, and 42.8 million loops. The Vine was quickly celebrated by the LGBTQ community on Tumblr. There, the Vine gained over 494,000 notes before Vine was shut down.[2] While popular there, the Vine didn't begin coming a proper meme on the site until June of 2017, when it was adopted as a major meme for Pride Month. On June 9th, Tumblr user bumble-bee-tea[3] published a Bad Acronym featuring the letters LGBT standing for "Lesbian, Gay, Babadook, Two bros chillin in a hot tub five feet apart cuz they're not gay," gaining over 46,000 notes (shown below, left). User wrecknian[4] posted a similar joke and gained over 109,000 notes (shown below, right). Another popular use of the meme is for fandoms to apply the quote to male characters in potentially homosexual situations. For example, user Bobahunk[5] uploaded the quote with a picture of two characters from Voltron and gained over 12,000 notes (shown below, left). Another post by resistancefighterjaal[6] used the quote in reference to Mass Effect: Andromeda characters and gained over 1,000 notes (shown below, right).

The Gay Paradox:
The more you try to convince people that something isn't gay the gayer it gets, not only in the perception of other people but between you and the other guy.
Moral of this story: Only bring attention to it if you actually want it to be gay (hey, maybe you do. I won't judge.)

Is this not just a less funny reimagining of a South Park episode's joke and premise..?
Even the episode's name is almost the same as this: "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub", which I realize is probably because this is a "cultural" thing that has been around for years, but still, I would hardly say Vine, Smosh or the LGBT community are the true origin of this.
