The line comes from Gex 3, the late-1990s platform game starring Gex, a wisecracking gecko who drops pop-culture references throughout his adventures. In the game, the joke lands as a quick celebrity name-drop, typical of Gex's humour, rather than a major story moment. Short clips like this have since been lifted for soundboards and meme edits, where the question works on its own without needing to know the game. Its staying power comes from that simplicity: anyone can recognise a case of mistaken identity, even if they have never played Gex.
