Onii-chan is a Japanese way of addressing an older brother, and baka means fool or idiot, so the combined phrase is a staple line in anime and manga dialogue. Short voice clips of the phrase spread through meme pages, soundboards and short video edits, where the spelling onichan bakka became a common search variant. It stays popular because the trope is instantly understood even by viewers who do not speak Japanese, turning a simple insult into a recognisable, affectionate joke about sibling teasing and embarrassed anime reactions online today.
