Tim Curry played Mr Hector, the Plaza Hotel concierge, in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York from 1992, where his overly polite manner masked his suspicion of Kevin McCallister. Clips of his formal sir delivery later circulated on soundboards and in short edits, detached from the film and reused as a standalone greeting. The joke survives because Curry makes one ordinary word sound grand, formal and quietly insulting, so creators keep using it for hotel parodies, customer service memes and posh reactions long after the film's original run in cinemas worldwide today.
