The line comes from Fatal, the 2010 French comedy directed by and starring Michaël Youn as Fatal Bazooka, a flamboyant rapper character first popularised in his television sketches and songs. French audiences quoted the Tuesday line because it summed up the character's clueless confidence perfectly. It later spread on soundboards and social clips as a weekly ritual, resurfacing every Tuesday in work chats and student posts as a tongue in cheek way to will the weekend closer.
