The phrase itself is everyday Brazilian Portuguese for asking someone if they are certain, which is why it translates so easily into a reaction clip even outside Portuguese-speaking audiences. Online it circulates mainly as a short doubt-filled reaction, shared in meme edits, chat conversations and short videos whenever someone wants to cast playful suspicion on a claim. Its appeal comes from the exaggerated ending, which turns a simple question into a joke on its own, keeping it useful long after any single trend has passed.
