The clip is tied to Infinity Pool, the horror film starring Mia Goth that reached cinemas on January 27, 2023, with its promotional campaign built around the question of what kind of creature a person really is. As a short, quotable piece of dialogue, it was lifted for soundboards and short-form edits, where its blunt wording made it easy to reuse out of context. It has remained in circulation because it is instantly recognisable to horror fans, brief enough to drop into a single cut, and dark enough to turn an ordinary pet moment into an unsettling joke.
