The line comes from Tela Class, the comedy sketch work associated with Brazilian humor group Hermes e Renato, whose irreverent sketches became widely shared online. Lifted as a two-second clip, it travelled through soundboards, meme pages and short-form video edits in Brazil, where the Portuguese phrase made it especially useful for local creators. It has stayed in circulation because the insult is short, direct and easy to reuse, giving editors a ready-made reaction for any moment when spending looks foolish rather than impressive.
