Because they’re being like “bro please, come on“

Huh...what they actually write in the response in no way suggests that to me, it's just completely nonsensical like they started typing the response but accidentally hit send too soon and just didn't bother fixing it.

Mom: Ok, let's get in the car, time to go.

Child named Brian: But there is no car.

Mom: Brian!

You've excellently demonstrated how different contexts makes different things work...you scenario has no similarities to the image

I think you were correct in your top comment

It's a joke. You don't get it.

That's okay

You can't act like a precise robot that is always right and also beep your red sirens when other people are seeing humor that you don't see. If you're being a robot then chances are you are wrong about the jokes.

In this case the juxtaposition of the natural in-person way of speaking and the unnatural asynchronous text chat if twitter is the source of the humor. When you say that the two scenarios are not similar, that is part of the engine that drives the joke and makes it funny. It's as if you see shutting everyone down for misunderstanding that it was not a sports bar but in fact a metal pipe that the two men walked into when the one man ducked.

I am merely intending to show how 'just saying someone's name' can be taken as a reprimand/mild reproach. Which is what is happening in the original image.

At this point so many people have explained this that I feel you might be willfully ignorant. Cut it out.

Needs context for it to work

Mate, I felt the same way. Made no sense to me. Give me an "..." or something.

Given the period, there is an unwritten sigh at the beginning. With maybe a presumed pointing at their name that Brian either missed, or doesn't know.
