The clip comes from Stare małżeństwo 11, part of the long-running Szkolna 17 material filmed in Białystok around Krzysztof Kononowicz and his housemate Wojciech Major Suchodolski. Their everyday arguments and catchphrases were uploaded to YouTube and later cut into short soundboard clips by fans. Psychicznie chory, meaning mentally ill in Polish, became one of Major's reusable lines because it summarised many of their exchanges in two words. As Polish meme pages spread the recordings, the phrase moved beyond the original videos into Discord servers, streams and short-form edits as a general reaction.
