The line comes from the 2004 South Park episode Goobacks, where time travellers from the future arrive in town and accept low wages, leaving local workers unemployed. A group of redneck characters led by Darryl Weathers protests at a town meeting, and their chant quickly slurs from they took our jobs into incomprehensible shouting. The scene was clipped and shared online as a reaction to immigration debates, outsourcing, and automation, and the phrase entered wider internet slang as a deliberately over-the-top shorthand for blaming outsiders for job losses.

The South Park rednecks chanting they took our jobs, a short frustrated voice clip used for reactions to layoffs, automation, and losing work to someone else.
This is a short group chant of angry workers repeating the line about losing their jobs, delivered in a thick, slurred Southern drawl that gets more garbled with each repetition. The voices overlap and slur together, turning a complaint about layoffs into pure frustrated noise that is more funny than threatening. It works because the anger sounds exaggerated and desperate rather than serious, so viewers instantly read it as mock outrage. Creators use the escalating repetition to punctuate moments when work disappears, plans fall apart, or someone feels unfairly replaced in a workplace situation.
