A Stock Phrase used in comedic situations. One person will speak at length, often intelligently and involving either an excellent explanation of what's going on and why, or a highly practical solution to the current problem. Other characters, upon being consulted, will reply with "What He Said". This is especially true when the one speaking is a temporary or new authority figure, and the one saying 'what he said' is the previous one or a more well-known and respected authority, proving that the new guy does know what he's talking about. Especially funny when the previous or 'true' authority figure demands to have the last say, and that he be recognized as the ultimate authority... and then simply repeats the ideas presented by the upstart, often with these same words. Does not actually require Exposition on the part of the first speaker, only a statement agreed with by the second person with the words "What he said". Very common on internet forums, where "Me Too" is one of the archetypal Online Personas. This has, in turn, given rise to the acronym QFT, "Quoted For Truth". Not to be confused with "That's What She Said". |

In Hot Fuzz, one of the cops has two of these when confronted with a crimescene, where he asks Sergeant Angel what to do, Angel gives a detailed description, which gets a 'What he said'. In the final fight, that same cop suddenly comes up with a detailed, comprehensive plan to assault the supermarket, which causes all the others to stare in surprise until Angel also replies with a 'What he said'. | |

The week before PAX East 2015, Chuggaaconroy uploaded a video letting his subscribers know about The Runaway Guys Thrown Controllers panel that would be taking place there. Chugga didn't even finish his intro before ProtonJon came in and gave a quick, hefty, over-the-top explanation. Chugga's only response is "What he said". (See here.) | |

TNA wrestlers Taylor Wilde and Sarita once went through a phase of, during interviews, Sarita reeling off a string of Spanish and Wilde finishing off the interview with "What she said!" They did the EXACT same thing with Matt Morgan & Hernandez. And at the same tine too, although it was never acknowledged. | |

Invoked in My Cousin Vinny. Vinny's girlfriend gives a highly technical explanation of why the boys' car could not have left the tire marks found at the crime scene. Vinny then recalls an expert witness who had testified earlier and asks simply "in your expert opinion, do you agree with everything she just said?" He answers in the affirmative. | |

Doctor Who: "Boom Town" combines this with Still the Leader. After Jack lays out the plan for capturing Margaret the Slitheen… The Doctor gets off a rare dramatic version in "A Town Called Mercy". Having been confronted with what Kahler Jex did, he is listening with little interest to Amy, Rory and Isaac debating what to do with Jex. When Amy asks the Doctor for his opinion, he responds with "Yes. No. Whatever Amy said." In "The Day of the Doctor", the Eleventh Doctor tries to scare off some Elizabethan soldiers by claiming a time portal is "witchcraft". He asks Clara (on the other side of the portal) to tell the "prattling mortals" to go away. |

On Monty Python's Flying Circus, there is a sketch with an American film producer meeting with a bunch of craven yes men. After one gets kicked out for criticizing his idea, and another gets kicked out for agreeing with it, and a third one gets kicked out for being indecisive, a fourth one, in a fit of panic, says, "splunge". When the producer asks what "splunge" means, the yes man says, "It means it's a good idea, but perhaps not, and I'm not being indecisive." The producer appears to approve of this answer, so when he asks each of the other yes men what they think, they each say "splunge", too, with the last one saying, "Yeah, yeah, splunge for me, too!" | |
