The line comes from Woody, the pull-string cowboy sheriff in Pixar's Toy Story, released in 1995 and voiced by Tom Hanks. As a vintage toy, Woody has several recorded catchphrases triggered by his pull string, and the snake line became one of his most quoted. Clips of the phrase spread through early soundboard sites, YouTube compilations and later TikTok memes, where creators pair the familiar voice with prank and reveal videos. Its staying power comes from instant recognition: even viewers who have not seen the film recently know exactly who is speaking.
