The line comes from Gex 3, the third main game in the Gex platformer series starring a television obsessed gecko known for constant one liners and pop culture jokes. The series built its humor around Gex commenting on everything around him, so short quips like this were designed to be memorable on their own. Players later shared isolated lines online as reaction sounds, and this phrase stood out for its odd wording. It remains used as a nostalgic nod to late 1990s platformer humor.
