This clip is tied to Mr. Hankey, the talking Christmas poo from South Park, the animated television series created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The character first appeared in the 1997 episode "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" and became known for his upbeat greeting. Online, the line spread through short reaction edits, reposted scene clips and nostalgic South Park meme pages. It still gets used because the voice is instantly recognizable and the absurd character makes even a simple greeting feel funny.
