The phrase "Sisi tunajua" (which translates to "We know" in English) from a 90-second sketch about a man trying to hide his drinking habit from his girlfriend has been remixed, quoted, and referenced in nearly every context imaginable.

The original video was posted Tuesday morning on YouTube and had reached 10 million views by Wednesday evening. Twitter has been flooded with variations: "Sisi tunajua how to procrastinate," "Sisi tunajua about your side chick," "Sisi tunajua the exam questions," and countless others.

The comedy group that created the sketch posted: "We made a 90-second joke. Thank you Kenya for turning it into a global conversation. This is the power of our creative culture."

The group is now trending on all major platforms and has been offered several sponsorship deals and television hosting opportunities. They've also announced that they're working on expanding their sketch library due to the demand.

Industry observers see this as a turning point moment for Kenyan digital content, proving that local creators can achieve international-level virality without needing international backing.
