Me after a spider touches me

What it means

An elderly bearded man sits onstage and repeatedly flails, brushes, and swats at himself as if trying to get rid of an invisible spider. The joke exaggerates the panicked reaction many people have to even brief contact with a spider, making the clip useful as a relatable fear reaction. The dark stage and rhythmic performance audio, with keyboard-like sounds and apparent snipping or scraping effects, heighten the frantic comedy.
