The clip comes from a French speaking voice recording credited to Baghdadi B, built around the everyday plea laisse moi dormir with the slang intensifier zebi added at the end. That mix of French and North African slang gives it a specific, instantly recognisable tone online. It spread as a short soundboard and messaging audio, passed around for sleep deprived humour rather than from a film or show. Its brevity keeps it popular as a drop in reaction, easy to recognise from the first tired words alone.
