Fat Bastard was introduced in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me in 1999, played by Mike Myers in heavy prosthetics with a broad Scottish accent. The character became one of the sequel's most quoted creations because almost every line was designed as an outrageous one-liner. Short clips of his voice later circulated on soundboards and in meme edits, where brief, recognizable movie quotes work as instant reactions. This line survives because it is unmistakably him, short enough to drop anywhere, and funny without needing the original scene.
