The 'Dance If You Gay Bruce' meme originates from the Season 3 episode of Family Guy titled 'Brian Does Hollywood,' which first aired in 2001. In the scene, a voice-over announcer shouts the line, prompting the character Bruce to start his signature repetitive dance. Over the years, the clip has evolved into a staple of internet humor, particularly within 'bait-and-switch' videos and ironically edited social media posts. It is frequently used to tease friends or characters in a lighthearted way, often appearing in TikTok transitions or Discord reaction GIFs where the punchline involves an unexpected burst of dancing or the realization of a silly situation.
