I Know, Right?

A familiar simultaneous agreement to confirm an unsaid /said truth. A verbal affirmation to a mutual thought experienced by 2 people.

The origins date back to 2009 when Snookie from Jersey Shore caught her bestie in a lie and responded to JWow’s comment “Ryder is Biatch!”by saying . . . "I know, Right?!”

I know! Right?!

It's pretty clear what the speaker is trying to convey: "I agree."

I agree with most of the other definitions, which provide details on the subtle context/audience-dependent connotations. I agree that phrase is annoying, used by speakers who use other annoying phrases like "my bad."

I would like to add to what has been said by providing side-by-side analogs; that is, alternative, equivalent but more acceptable expressions.
