The line comes from Gex, the 1995 platform game starring a wisecracking gecko obsessed with television and pop culture. Gex constantly fires off random one-liners while players explore TV-themed worlds, and plane cannibalism is one of his strangest throwaway quips. Clips like this later circulated on gaming soundboards and in meme edits, where the lack of context became part of the appeal. It remains popular with retro game fans who use the quote out of context for instant absurd humor.
