The clip comes from Italian comedian Maccio Capatonda, whose loud, drawn-out call of Francescoooo is presented as a birthday greeting to send to friends on his behalf. Because Francesco is a common Italian name, the joke works for a huge audience, and the two-second shout is easy to drop into birthday videos, messages and social posts. It has survived as a shareable greeting rather than a one-off joke because it is personal, instantly understood and funny even without much context, especially when the recipient really is called Francesco.
