Online, Tina is rude circulates as a short reaction sound rather than a clip tied to a widely documented scene, and its appeal comes from that simplicity. Creators lift the three-second line for memes and short-form edits where a single judgement is funnier than a long explanation, especially when the behaviour on screen is already obvious. Because the phrase is easy to understand at first listen, it travels well across different videos and audiences. It remains in use as a quick, reusable punchline for calling out rudeness without slowing down an edit.
