The chair gets a compliment. Its maker replies, "Thanks bro, I DIY'd it myself." For the other character in al jokes' sketch, that extra "myself" is enough to derail the conversation.
Playing both sides, the comedian turns a small verbal irritation into an increasingly unreasonable argument. One character sarcastically announces plans to visit an "ATM machine" and enter his "PIN number," then explains why repeating the words already inside an abbreviation makes no sense. The other seems considerably less troubled by the problem.
The Short, titled "people who say "DIY it yourself" #shorts #comedy #funny", passed a million views in twelve hours, well ahead of the channel's usual Shorts start. Its comment section was already more than three times as busy as a typical full first day.
Viewers have made the replies an extension of the sketch, adding redundant references to morning times, baseball and doing things as soon as possible. Others point to the contrast between the carefully constructed argument and the frustrated yell it eventually produces. On al jokes, knowing exactly why a phrase is wrong offers no protection against hearing another one.

What does DIY stand for?
DIY means "do it yourself," which is why the repeated wording sets off the sketch's argument.
