The line comes from The Boondocks, Aaron McGruder's animated satire that ran on Adult Swim from 2005 to 2014 and was adapted from his comic strip. The show built its reputation on blunt social and racial commentary delivered through characters like Huey and Riley Freeman. Short, self-contained quotes like this one later circulated on soundboards and in meme edits because they work without any scene context. It remains in use as a compact reaction clip where the joke depends entirely on the unexpected bluntness of the advice.
