The line comes from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, the 1997 spy comedy written by and starring Mike Myers as both Austin Powers and Dr. Evil. In group therapy, Dr. Evil explains his bizarre upbringing in a long deadpan speech that fans quote constantly. Short excerpts like this one circulated on soundboards and in meme edits because a single absurd detail could stand alone as a punchline. Its dry specificity still works as shorthand for an unhinged backstory, which keeps the clip in regular use.
