The line comes from Taco, a contestant in the animated web series Inanimate Insanity, where it became one of her recurring catchphrases in season one. Fans clipped the short phrase and shared it across soundboards and meme edits, where its dry delivery made it easy to reuse out of context. It spread mainly through fan communities for the show, rather than through mainstream television, and it remains popular because it is instantly recognisable to viewers who know Taco while still sounding funny to newcomers hearing it for the first time.
