Care to give an example of a movie that does this?
Sure. The Marvel movies for example like Deadpool and Spider man. There will be a break in the action because someone did something silly and other people in the scene have to comment on it with the "seriously bro" type of comment.
Marvel movies are leftist?
Even ignoring that Marvel isn't leftist, I don't even think leftists think Marvel humor is good. OP's premise is broken on so many levels
I think OP might have a skewed opinion of the centre.
Yeah.
Oh honey, what dark corners of the Internet have you gotten mired in?
Gab, according to his post history
Protecting status quo with violence is usually not left wing. Super heroes are reactionary. They don’t create anything. They just react to some villains plan to change things. That’s right wing conservatism. Beat up anyone who want to do things differently.

And Robert Jewett and John Shelton Lawrence's books:
I don't think comedic breaks in action films are exclusive to any particular political group. You might be conflating the two because certain slang terms often appear in those breaks, and those terms might be more prevalent in communities you think of as leftist.
Let me give you a counter-example. In Star Trek Beyond, Spock realizes the crew can locate an away team by the radiation given off by a jewel he gave Uhura. McCoy asks him incredulously "you gave your girlfriend a tracking device?" and Spock responds "that was not my intent." This is a classic "bruh" moment, but it uses traditional wording, not slang. So if you think of this phenomenon as being intrinsically linked with leftist slang, I can assure you it isn't.
He finds a comedic pause interrupting his delicious violence to be a bit too far to the left. I don't know if bringing up a moment based around an interracial couple in a goddamned socialist space movie about learning, sharing and helping is the best way to show this particular OP that not all BruhBreaks(TM) are leftist.
XD
Oh no
We came to this thread brother, we should not be surprised lmao
All too true lol
How?
Come on, buddy lol.
You think fucking Marvel movies are leftist? What do you think a leftist is?
Any film where the entire cast aren’t straight white men fighting over a prize woman is “radical left” and simply watching it will turn you into a disabled trans lesbian in the name of forced diversity.
Obviously.
Sounds like a normal person
I can't figure out how this is even remotely "leftist." It has absolutely nothing to do with any political leaning, left or otherwise.
If anything marvel movies are the most neutral I've seen! They go out of their way to try not to offend anyone. Part of the reason I think they're kinda boring lol
This is a leftist behavior.
Aren't you the same person who more or less said that you found It's Always Sunny to be too offensive for you to watch?
That's not true, I'm a leftist and I love offending the right people
leftists often engage in shaming of their friends for not being with the times
Lmao
"I was ingrained in me that Disney=left, and now I'm having trouble figuring out the rest of the equation "
Bathos. That's Bathos. Interrupting something serious to ridicule it. It's been a trope since the 18th century, and it's definitely not just a "leftist" trope. It's also NOT the only type of joke in left-wing media, or the only types of jokes in those specific movies. Most of Deadpool is pop culture references, for example.
Marvel movies aren't leftist, and their comedy isn't leftist either. That's not even political really. You're describing a Flanderization of Joss Whedon comedy tropes
Those are really the only jokes you took away from those movies?
Maybe comedy and jokes aren't for you?
Deadpool was hilarious when they were going through the sex poses for the different holidays, then swapped it around for pegging on "International Womens Day".
They even call back to it in the new trailer:

It's the sudden subversion of expectations that makes it funny.
Marvel movies are action movies with quips, not comedies.
They’re also not “leftist:” they’re movies for the masses, and are about as apolitical as you can get. The politics that do get in are fictional ones that are focused group to hell to not resemble any real world politics.
The Boys is the only leftist superhero comedy.
The Avengers are heroic, care about others, and aren't the cartoon villains they fight, which Republicans fucking literally are. That is why Marvel films are Leftist.
Plus...to be fair, Tony is all about science, and helping the community, stopping war, and all that gay woke crap.
Oh yeah, I forgot that Hydra are literally NAZIS, so of course that makes Captain America a woke liberal.
J Jonah Jameson is basically Alex Jones in the Disney movies.
The comic character was around before Jones was even alive, and J. K. Simmons started his portrayal before Jones even got big. It’s not Disney’s fault that Jones turned into his own caricature.
