The line comes from The Hangover, the 2009 comedy directed by Todd Phillips, where Zach Galifianakis plays the eccentric Alan Garner. In the film Alan delivers the protest with total sincerity, defending a woman the others have just mocked.

Its short length and clear outrage made it easy to drop into reaction videos, and it remains a go-to movie quote for mock chivalry and exaggerated offense online.
