Happy Gilmore is a 1996 sports comedy starring Adam Sandler as a failed hockey player who joins a professional golf tour to save his grandmother's house. The repeated jackass heckle became one of the film's most quoted running jokes, as the shout follows Happy around the course and provokes his short temper. Clips of the line later circulated on soundboards and in short video edits, where its golf setting is often forgotten and the insult is used for any foolish moment or failed attempt.
