The clip circulates mainly through meme soundboards and short form edits, where searchers look it up as the retarded lizard line or the you are retarded meme. Its appeal is speed, the whole joke lands in about a second, so creators reuse it as a punctuation mark rather than a full scene. It sits alongside other blunt reaction staples like bruh in comment replies, gaming fails and quote edits, and it keeps spreading because the line needs no setup or context to be understood by new viewers instantly online.
