Press X to Dodge the Chair

Text on the meme

Not quite my tempo Press X to dodge the chair Why do you suppose I just hurled a chair I don't know WTF DUDE 5, 6...

What it means

A low-resolution game-style parody of Whiplash shows Terence Fletcher angrily conducting while Andrew Neiman plays drums. Fletcher throws a chair at him, then forces him to count rhythmically while quick-time-event prompts appear, turning the film’s abusive rehearsal scene into a ridiculous video-game challenge. The soundtrack is [3S] — “Rush'n R Drag'n,” an energetic electronic dance track whose upbeat momentum makes the escalating violence and mistimed counting even more absurd.

Speech

Not quite my tempo. Five, six, eight. Why do you suppose I just hurled a chair at your head, Neiman? I don't know. True you do. Start counting. Five, six, seven, Four, dammit! Look at me! One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.
