The line comes from Rick and Morty, the Adult Swim animated series that premiered in 2013, where the cynical scientist Rick habitually shuts down his grandson Morty's earnest outbursts. In the scene, Morty is marveling at a stranger and rambling about how much the guy has going on before Rick cuts him off cold. The exchange became a stock meme audio because that exact rhythm, hype followed by a deadpan kill, fits almost any over-the-top setup, and it now circulates widely on soundboards and short-form video as the go-to clip for shutting someone down.

Morty's excited rambling gets shut down by Rick's deadpan 'Silence, Morty' in this Rick and Morty clip. A funny sound effect for cutting someone off mid-rant.
The clip opens with Morty in full fanboy mode, breathlessly geeking out over some guy he just spotted, and then it all crashes to a halt the second Rick's flat, annoyed voice cuts in with the two-word shutdown. Morty's part is fast, high-pitched and tumbling over itself, which makes Rick's deadpan interruption land like a door slamming. For the viewer it is pure comedic deflation: the excitement builds for a beat and then gets flattened instantly, and that hard left turn is exactly why editors love dropping it at the peak of someone's rant.
