This meme is tied to Chunky Kong from Donkey Kong 64 and jokes around the famous DK Rap character introduction format. Online, people quote it as "and then there's Chunky, he's dead" in parody edits, misheard versions, and absurd remixes rather than as a straight in-game line. It spread through meme videos and soundboards because the wording is short, unexpected, and easy to drop into gaming jokes. The clip stays popular because it instantly signals a goofy anti-climax to anyone who knows Donkey Kong memes.
