The sound plays on the theme of Bill Nye the Science Guy, the PBS children's show that aired from 1993 to 1998 and made Bill Nye a pop culture icon. The show's famous chant-like theme song has been remixed and parodied across the internet for years, spawning countless memes and soundboard clips. This 'fry' version twists the lyric for comedy, and the clip has found a second life as a reaction sound and meme audio, used by creators who want a quick hit of nostalgic, nerdy humour without explaining the joke.
