The song comes from Avenue Q, the 2003 puppet musical that parodies children's television with adult humour, where Kate Monster and Trekkie Monster perform it as a duet. It became a staple of early internet culture as the show's most quoted number, circulating in clips, parodies and forum jokes about what people really do online. Its lasting appeal comes from that same innocent puppet-show sound paired with a blunt adult punchline, which still fits perfectly in short-form videos, streams and reaction memes about browsing, dating apps and unexpected search results.
