Bender is the bending robot from Futurama, the animated science-fiction comedy created by Matt Groening that first aired in 1999, and his rude catchphrase became one of the show's most repeated jokes. Variants swapping shiny for colossal and other adjectives circulated as fans quoted, clipped, and remixed the line across forums, video edits, and soundboards. The joke endures because Bender's shameless attitude is instantly recognisable, and the line works as a short, self-contained comeback that needs no setup for anyone who knows the character.
