The exact original context of this short French line is not widely documented, and it circulates mainly as a standalone reaction clip on soundboards and in short-form edits rather than as a well-known film or television quote. Its appeal comes from the contrast between the polite form of address and the blunt accusation, which makes it easy to reuse whenever someone is caught smoking or breaking a small rule. Because the phrase is brief, clear and instantly recognisable by tone even to listeners who do not speak French, it has remained a handy, repeatable gag for meme creators.
