The phrase comes from a 2009 Douglas Din versus Nissin performance, where the Portuguese line pairs Eddie Murphy with his famous Dr Dolittle role to claim a talent for talking to animals. Shared as a short soundboard clip, it travelled through Brazilian meme and reaction edits, where the boast format made it easy to reuse over pets, games and everyday flex moments. Its staying power comes from that simple joke structure: a celebrity comparison, an animal twist, and a confident delivery that still lands without needing the full original performance.
