The clip is associated with The Big Short, Adam McKay's 2015 film about the 2008 financial crisis, where a character coolly corrects someone with the line 'actually, my name's John.' Lifted from the dialogue track, the short clip began circulating on meme soundboards as a ready-made correction gag. Its appeal is the delivery: completely calm and unhurried, which makes it funnier than any shouted comeback. Editors now drop it into reaction videos, skits and comment sections whenever someone gets a name or fact wrong, keeping the joke alive years after the film's release.
