The sound originated on Vine in December 2014, when creator JimmyHere posted a short video delivering the line before cutting to a Budgett's frog letting out a loud scream. The clip was reposted widely after Vine closed, moving to YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok as a weekly ritual. Users reshared it every Wednesday, often with new frog images or remixes, and the phrase entered everyday meme language as a cheerful, pointless celebration of reaching the middle of the week.
