Samsung Ads Sign-Off Joke

Hey, Ross. Congratulations on your new TV. You wouldn't be able to disable the ads we're afraid. ^HA The “HA” really rubs salt in the wound. We sign our messages off with our initials, we can assure you we were not laughing at the situation. ^BS

A screenshot of a Twitter exchange shows Samsung UK congratulating Ross on his new television while joking that he cannot disable the advertisements. A commenter points out that the sign-off “^HA” makes Samsung’s message sound especially mocking, prompting Samsung to claim that “^BS” is merely their initials and not laughter. The meme is used as a sarcastic reaction to an especially transparent excuse or corporate backpedaling.
