Mundl is Edmund Sackbauer, the outspoken Viennese working-class hero played by Karl Merkatz in the Austrian television series Ein echter Wiener geht nicht unter, which ran in the 1970s. Goschn is Viennese dialect for mouth, and the line is his blunt way of telling someone to be quiet. The clip spread beyond the show through Austrian memes, videos and WhatsApp audios, where the dialect and the character's gruff delivery make the insult feel familiar and funny rather than simply rude.
