The line comes from Tommy Boy, the 1995 road comedy starring Chris Farley and David Spade as mismatched salesmen. In the scene they hit a deer, load it into their car believing it is dead, and are stunned when it revives and thrashes the interior apart. Clips of Farley's panicked shout later circulated on soundboards and in meme edits, where it became a shorthand reaction for anything unexpectedly coming back to life, from broken gadgets to dormant group chats and long dead jokes.

This is Chris Farley as Tommy Callahan in Tommy Boy, panicking and yelling It's alive after the deer they thought was dead suddenly wakes up in the back seat of the car. His voice is loud, frantic and cracking with disbelief, escalating in a split second from relief to full chaos. The short burst works because Farley's over the top delivery turns a simple surprise into pure comedy panic. It instantly signals that something thought finished is back, moving, and about to cause a lot more trouble for everyone nearby.
