An unexpected reaction at work

I saw an ISIS video and I got the theme stuck in my head. I was humming it the next day at work when my Arab co-worker said, "soon, my brother."

Experiment

The humor comes from the unexpected response of the coworker. Instead of being surprised or offended that the person is humming an ISIS theme song, the coworker seems to endorse it with the statement 'soon, my brother,' suggesting a shared understanding or even agreement with the sentiment of the video. This twist on expectation is what makes the joke funny.

I then looked over at him and gave a soft chuckle. "Soon? I have the bomb right here," I whispered back.

you forgot to add "i stole this from reddit without giving credit"

In-Shallah I love the comments as much as the original joke. Tomorrow, Paradise.

I dont get it pls explain?

Reddit guy, what do you expect? This is the internet, rarely anything is original.
