The sound circulates online as a short Russian-language comedy meme attributed to veteran comedian Yevgeny Petrosian, built on the double meaning of the Russian word ryba, which means both fish and the Pisces sign.

Shared as a brief clip on soundboards, it has survived because the pun is instantly recognisable to Russian speakers and needs no setup beyond the opening question.
