The recording is credited to Chris Moyles and is labelled as John calling another taxi company while doing a Shaggy impression, which explains why it is filed as part six of a longer run of similar calls. Shaggy, the laid-back Scooby-Doo character, is instantly recognisable from his voice alone, so the joke lands without any visual context. Shared through soundboard and meme pages, the clip has kept circulating because short prank calls are easy to drop into reaction videos, edits and group chats.
