The line comes from Back to the Future from 1985, where bully Biff Tannen raps on George McFly's head and tells him to think before answering. In the Latin American Spanish dub the phrase became piensa McFly piensa, quoted far beyond the film by Spanish speaking audiences. Clips of the dubbed scene spread on YouTube and soundboards as a shorthand insult, and the short repeated wording made it easy to loop, remix and drop into reaction videos whenever someone states the obvious or overlooks it.
