In Portuguese, saying you could eat an ox is a vivid way to stress extreme hunger, similar to saying you are starving. Clips from familiar TV lines like this spread easily on soundboards and in short videos because the expression is already part of everyday speech. It remains popular as a quick, recognizable hunger joke that needs no context to understand.
