The exact creator and original video behind this clip are not widely documented, so it is best understood as a Dutch-language meme sound that spread through soundboards and short-form edits rather than a line from a film or television show. Its appeal comes from the contrast between an everyday insect and an extreme, bleak comparison, a combination that fits reaction content and self-deprecating jokes. Because the phrase is short and instantly recognisable to Dutch-speaking viewers, it continues to circulate in new edits long after its first uploads.
