The line comes from Billy Madison, the 1995 comedy starring Adam Sandler as a spoiled heir who must repeat school to inherit his father's company. In the scene Billy angrily addresses a swan, turning a throwaway gag into one of the film's most quoted lines. Clips and quote posts kept it circulating through meme pages, GIFs and soundboards long after the film's release. Its lasting appeal is simple phrasing and Sandler's escalating delivery, which let people reuse it whenever anyone, human or animal, seems to be staring too long.
