TikTokers are turning a tense clip of two alpha male influencers debating into a powerful and very weird brainrot meme.

The clip is known as "Ali, You're a Nice Guy," and it's being edited in the most absurd ways possible to turn the stressful situation into a big joke.

But what is the context of the clip, and how did it become such a big meme? Here's what you need to know.

What Is The 'Ali, You're A Nice Guy' Meme?

The "Ali, You're a Nice Guy" meme comes from a July 2025 episode of the WiseNuts podcast. During the episode, a Muslim alpha male influencer, Ali Sobh, debates Jewish alpha male influencer Ben Azoulay. Azoulay is a well-known figure in alpha male circles and previously became a meme for his "F Students Are Inventors" clip.

Around the end of the debate, Ben pushes against parts of the Muslim religion that he disagrees with as Ali vehemently defends them. The two seem to take the criticisms personally and get caught up arguing.

As the tension rises, Ben, while puffing on a cigar, says to Ali, "Ali, you're a nice guy, but you're not speaking to somebody who will just let you speak this way." The two then get up to have a fist fight, which is quickly broken up by the producers before anything can happen.

How Is 'Ali, You're A Nice Guy' Used In Memes?

The interview clip resurfaced on TikTok in late September 2025, allegedly after it was shared by an alpha male edit account on TikTok.

Then, out of nowhere, TikToker @raw_honeyy1 posted a bizarre edit that turns the men's heads into pyramids and heightens their voices. This was the first domino in what's now a chain of edits.

These edits look to make the clip as ridiculous as possible, as is the case with many brainrot edits. Some viral examples include an edit that turns the men into seals, an edit where Ben suddenly disappears from existence after saying his line and an edit that sees the two debating while skydiving.
