The phrase is a phonetic, Spanish speaker's take on the French greeting comment allez-vous, which explains the spelling como tale tale vu and the related search como ta le vu. Clips using the greeting circulated as short meme audio on soundboards and social videos, where the joke relies on pronunciation rather than a specific character or scene. Its 15 second musical format makes it easy to loop or trim for intros, and it remains popular for light greetings, parody French scenes and everyday hellos that are meant to sound deliberately over the top.
