Turok began as a comic character and reached a wide audience with Turok: Dinosaur Hunter on Nintendo 64 in 1997, while All Star was released by Smash Mouth in 1999 and later became inseparable from Shrek and early internet meme culture. Clips that mash the two together belong to a long tradition of game edits that borrow a famous pop hook for comic timing. The pairing keeps circulating because both references are instantly familiar to players who grew up with late nineties games and films.
