Chicken Jockey comes from Minecraft, where a baby zombie riding a chicken is a rare and funny mob combination that players have recognised for years.

That shared, in-on-the-joke energy is why editors still reach for the short shout whenever a game throws up something absurd, unexpected or perfectly timed.
