The phrase can't pause the game became a common joke around online multiplayer gaming, where matches against other players cannot be paused like single player games can. Clips of kids explaining this to their parents spread across gaming forums, streams and short video edits because the situation is so familiar. This recording uses the misspelled title can't puse the game mom, but the meaning is clear, and creators keep reusing the audio as shorthand for any interruption that arrives at the worst possible moment during a match.
