The joke comes from Saturday Night Live's Celebrity Jeopardy sketches, first aired in the 1990s with Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek and Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery. Connery repeatedly sabotages the game by misreading category titles, and Therapists becomes The Rapists in his hands, turning a harmless board choice into the sketch's running gag. The impression and the feud with Trebek made the sketches enduring favorites, later quoted and clipped online. Short excerpts like this one still circulate because the wordplay is instantly understandable out of context.
