A rhyme negation of the slang totes (meaning totally) this phrase is used as a correction and is followed by the 'better' descriptive (following the pattern of all rhyme -negations)
In the classic tv commercial:
Girl 1: "He's totes adorbs"
Girl 2: "totes magotes, he's cray-cray amaze"
(this follows the standard pattern for rhyming negation:
Friend 1: "What should I wear? It has to be conservative"
Friend 2: "conservative shmervative, go wild!")
note: In the full commercial, the follow up comment of "totes magotes" is used incorrectly.
The phrase is a combination of totes, which is a truncated way of saying "totally" and malote, which is Chicano slang for "bad ass." It was popularized and possibly originated from the animated science fiction show “Rick and Morty”, created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Adult Swim. It's used by Rick Sanchez in Episode 4 of the first season, M. Night Shaym-Aliens!

The combination of Totes (totally) plus McGotes (roughly meaning to agree), yielding a phrase with the meaning to "totally agree" with someone, but in a cooler and stranger way. Also can mean that you agree with an activity, as in "I agree" or "I'm in" as a loose use of totally agree.
