Hotta-san is a Japanese name with the polite suffix san, so the clip reads online mainly as a direct address rather than a quotation from a widely known scene. With no widely documented source attached to this short upload, its appeal comes from that simplicity: anyone can drop a familiar-sounding name into an edit without needing the original context. Anime and meme editors reuse it for entrances, greetings and playful call-outs, and its short length makes it easy to place over reaction footage, gaming clips and short-form videos.
