The phrase comes from French streamer Antoine Daniel, known on Twitch for Fall Guys streams and his Angle Droit broadcasts, where throwaway absurd lines from live play are often clipped by viewers. This canned hamster comparison circulated as a short soundboard clip because it is self contained, instantly quotable, and needs no context from the original match. French speaking meme communities reuse it as shorthand for a scrambled mindset, and its short length makes it easy to drop into edits, streams, and group chats without explaining the joke in advance.
