The clip is tagged on the soundboard with Yuri Dud and Nastya Ivleeva, two well-known Russian internet figures, and with the short form 15cm, which helps explain why it circulates mainly in Russian-speaking meme communities. Rather than working as a standalone joke, it is shared as a reaction sound for awkward, boastful or disappointing moments, where the measurement reference is understood by viewers who recognise the reference. Its staying power comes from that shared recognition: the line is short, quotable and easy to drop into edits, comments and short videos without needing much context.
