Featured answer
The phrase "Well, well, how the tables turn" means basically, "You had all the power but now I do."
But, Michael's flipping of "turn" and "tables" makes it incredibly cringy and funny.
It's especially funny because the pitch of Michael's voice goes up at the end. "How the tables turn" is always said with pitch going down at the end, which gives the phrase a feeling of power and control. With the pitch going up, it is more like a question, or like he is going to say something else -- but then he doesn't.

@grondhammar oh I see. Thank you so much. Native speaker often use the phrase? I think it sounds dramatic.

No, not often. But it is powerful when it is used well. You're right - it is very dramatic!

to piggyback on what the person above says it’s supposed to be “how the tables turn?”, and it’s indeed funny because it’s wrong
