Call Me Maybe was released by Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen in 2011 and became a worldwide pop hit in 2012, which made its chorus one of the most parodied hooks of the decade. The deez nuts joke is much older as spoken wordplay, then surged again online in 2015 through viral videos and remixes. This parody merges the two, borrowing the song's flirty request for a phone call and swapping in the familiar bait and switch punchline that meme editors still use for quick prank payoffs.
