The audio comes from a viral Vine video that circulated widely in 2014. Its question-and-answer structure made it easy to quote, remix, and reuse in short comedy edits across later social platforms. The phrase became a lasting internet reference for confidently incorrect answers, especially in math jokes and classroom memes. It remains recognizable because the setup is brief and the punchline arrives immediately. Like the Deez Nuts meme, it also reflects the fast, repeatable call-and-response humor associated with Vine-era videos.
