Chato pa carai comes from everyday Brazilian Portuguese slang, where chato means annoying and pa carai is a clipped intensifier similar to as hell. The clip spread as a short reusable reaction on soundboards and in meme edits, rather than from a single famous scene. Its appeal is the casual delivery and the instantly clear meaning for Portuguese speakers, while the rhythm of the phrase makes it catchy for other viewers too. It remains popular for quick, low effort complaining in short videos and group chats.
