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.
