The line comes from a Brazilian viral audio that took off as a party meme, tied to popping champagne at New Year celebrations. The joke is visual: someone aims the cork at a friend instead of away, and 'vai estragar o velório' — don't let this ruin the wake — lands like a mock funeral announcement for the accident. The published note for the sound even advises aiming the cork the other way. It spread through Brazilian meme pages and chat groups, where two-second reaction audios get traded for edits, and it resurfaces every holiday season when bottles start popping.
