The phrase itself is ordinary Japanese, combining the verb for dying with a polite request form, which is why English-speaking meme audiences find its bluntness striking. Online, it circulates as a short reaction sound rather than a long scene, and creators reuse it whenever a moment deserves an exaggerated, deadpan shutdown. Its appeal is the same as other foreign-language reaction clips: the tone carries the joke even for viewers who do not speak Japanese, while subtitles or context supply the meaning. That short, repeatable format keeps it useful in edits, streams and reaction videos.
