The exact source of this short clip is not clear from its listing, which tags it with Bing, Crosby and John Oliver, but its humour depends on the real Bing Crosby, the American singer and actor whose name remains widely recognised from classic film and Christmas music. Online, the mangled version circulates as a standalone soundboard clip rather than a full scene, shared because it can be dropped into unrelated videos. Its appeal is the instant recognition followed by the slight twist, so it keeps working as a brief name based meme.
