About
“Bae come over” is a meme revolving around a girl inviting her boyfriend over to her place, in which the boyfriend comes over in a humorous fashion. The meme starts with the titular phrase “bae come over” (occasionally ‘bae’ is replaced with ‘babe,’) to which the boy will reply that he is busy, until the girl usually mentions that her parents aren’t home, then a comedic image or gif is used to represent how the boy proceeds over to the girl’s place; it is done in a manner similar to a knock-knock joke.
