Native speaker’s answer

"You can say that again" is an informal expression which indicates agreement with the statement said previously. In the video, Joker says, "well, no one's laughing at me now." The speaker then says "you can say that again" to express agreement on the surface, but he actually means it in a sarcastic way. Ex: A: I can't wait until school is over! B: You can say that again. Ex: A: I can't wait until the lockdown is over. B: You can say that again!
