I know you are but what am I

Something you say when you know your joke was wack but don’t want to admit it.

Guy 1: If you’re going to eat your words, spit them out and eat them again!
Guy 2: That joke was ass.
Guy 1: I know you are but what am I.
Guy 2: 🤦 ♂️

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.

I know you're asleep but

Something a guy texts a woman at 3am, when he's most emotionally vulnerable so he can vent without fear of being judged

I know things, remember?

A somewhat well known quote from the My Chemical Romance fanfiction ’A Splitting of The Mind’.

It is a phrase used by Gerard Way in the fanfic and is quite recurring in the fic as well as appearing in a quite important part of the ending, which is most likely the reason it’s become somewhat of an inside joke in the MCRmy.

“I know things, remember?”
“Oh, god, why did you make me remember that traumatic fic?!”
