The meme comes from footage of dancing pallbearers in Ghana, a real funeral tradition filmed years before it went viral online. Clips spread widely in 2020 during lockdown, almost always edited so a person makes a fatal mistake, then the pallbearers appear as the Astronomia drop starts. The contrast between a solemn ritual performed as celebration and an everyday failure turned it into shorthand for an inevitable bad ending, and the short loop still works as a punchline even without the original video.
