By now, you must know the hilarious catchphrase 'Do it lady!' or the 'black purse' skit that has taken the internet by storm.
Known as 'The Chit Show', to the masses, the series of viral comedic office skits has captivated audiences since its launch in May.
The short skits feature the beloved Chit, an office worker characterised by his slight awkwardness, hunched posture, a distinctive bowl cut and Jeffrey Dahmer-style glasses.
Despite his awkwardness and being an unpredictable character, Chit has become a loved character on TikTok, and the skits have amassed over 20 million views and over 2 million likes.

The comedic skits were created by Jay Renshaw, who is the main character of the show and Kiel Kennedy, the off-screen character and the man behind the camera.
Where it all started:
'Do it lady!'
Renshaw's first skit is the now-viral skit that features the memorable line, "Do it lady!", where Chit's coworkers are confused when he writes "Do it lady!" in a birthday card intended for a colleague's surprise office party.
Despite their confusion, Chit attempts to convince everyone that it is a genuine catchphrase. What they do not understand is that the phrase is actually Chit's way of saying 'You go, girl!' or 'Yes, girl!'
'Black purse'
The second viral skit that left the internet in stitches is the 'Black purse' skit where Chit walks in the office and asks: 'Is there a black person in here?' which again left his co-workers confused because his black co-worker, Linda is in the room along with the other two white co-workers.
Only to find out that he actually meant 'Is there a black purse in here?' as he sees it and reaches for it when Linda is about to confront him for what he is saying.
The internet loves Chit
Renshaw and Kennedy continue to make other comedic skits which are being loved by the internet just as much as the viral two skits and Renshaw shared on his TikTok bio that new episodes of 'The Chit Show' will be dropped weekly on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
The internet has been loving Chit, and many have shared videos saying that the catchphrase 'Do it lady!' has been their favourite phrase to randomly say out loud, or they have now added it to their vocabulary.
