The line comes from Rick and Morty, the Adult Swim animated series centred on the cynical scientist Rick Sanchez and his grandson Morty. In the show, Rick uses the remark to brush off a hostile crowd, and the moment was soon clipped, captioned and reused as a standalone meme sound. It spread through reaction videos, gaming edits and TikTok posts, where creators pair it with criticism, failed predictions or public backlash. It endures because the insult is specific, quotable and instantly recognisable to fans of the series.
