The meaning
When someone writes 'this is sending me' under a funny post, they usually mean it has them laughing. The phrase leaves the destination unstated: the joke is that the reaction is intense enough to send them into laughter. In some contexts, it expresses excitement or another strong emotional response.
What’s the tone?
Animated, informal and often delighted. It is more emphatic than a neutral 'that's funny.'
When and how to use it
It works as a reply to an absurd detail, a surprising line or an accidental joke. If the commenter points out a particular moment, that moment is probably what is making them laugh. Check the surrounding tone before assuming every use is positive.
In a conversation
Original examples to illustrate the expression.
The recipe says 'add one polite onion.' That typo is sending me.
Finally, an onion with excellent manners.
Easy to misread
A literal 'send me the recipe' requests a transfer; the slang 'this recipe is sending me' expresses a reaction. It is also not necessarily mockery of the person who posted: the amusement may come from an incidental detail.
