In the scene, Reynholm's enthusiasm for a futuristic pair of trousers turns to fury when they fail him, and Berry's larger-than-life delivery turned a throwaway gag into a quotable moment. Shared as a short audio clip, it spread through meme edits and reaction videos, where its mix of posh anger and absurd technology still fits modern jokes about gadgets that promise more than they deliver.
