The phrase is in Mandarin Chinese, written as 讓車爬樹, and is romanised as rang che pa shu from its pinyin pronunciation. No widely documented film, show or creator is associated with the clip, so its life has been mainly as a short shared sound online. Its appeal is its literal nonsense image combined with its brevity, which makes it easy to reuse out of context. It circulates as a reaction and joke sound among users who enjoy random, out of place phrases in edits and chats.
