About
5 Big Booms, also known as Aw We're So Sorry To Hear That Your Brother Passed Away, refers to memes and jokes inspired by a viral video of the Costco Guys, A.J. and Big Justice, taken from a TikTok Live in which A.J. says, "Aw we're so sorry to hear that your brother passed away, he gets five big booms," followed by the father and son duo saying, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The clip of the "Five Boom Salute" went viral online after people reacted in shock and laughter at the pair doing their signature "Boom" emote to pay respect to someone's death. The snippet also became an exploitable green-screen meme used in various edits with added text for captions.
