Mario is Nintendo's long-running plumber hero, and short clips of his distinctive cartoon voice have circulated online for years as reaction sounds for gaming videos and memes. This hey stink line fits that pattern, working as a quick, light-hearted insult rather than a serious put-down. Creators reuse it because it is instantly recognisable, easy to understand without context and short enough to drop into edits, streams and chat replies. Its staying power comes from that simplicity, a familiar voice saying something unexpectedly rude in a playful tone.
