Little is documented about where this exact recording first came from, so its life is mostly online as a shared reaction clip. The phrase itself is a common everyday response, which helped it spread on soundboards and in short edited videos where a plain spoken comment works better than a dramatic effect. Users pass it around under the shortened title this is really weird, often paired with the letters gdi from the original upload name, and reuse it whenever a scene needs a quick, relatable note of confusion.
