The line comes from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, released in 2002, when Legolas tracks the Uruk-hai who have taken Merry and Pippin. It became widely shared online as part of the 'They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard' meme, which was remixed into a catchy techno-style song and reused in countless edits, parodies and reaction videos. Its simple, declarative delivery makes it easy to drop into new contexts, which is why it still works for jokes about being taken somewhere against your will.
