He was saying that Makuhita seems like the nonchalant, forgetful friend chronically slightly late archetype from anime, e.g. Malasada boi, anime character_X’s close nice but accidentally inconsiderate friend, idk maybe like Kakashi &/or Shikamaru.
A half ass apology with the weight of “my bad, dude” or “sorry ‘bout that, man”.
Reiterating a word is either (rarely) super apologetic or (almost always) half-hearted or otherwise not thoughtful, like responding to a request with “Hai hai” [Yeah yeah]. On par with Hey-hey as a greeting.
