The line comes from Dirty Work, the 1998 comedy starring Norm Macdonald as Mitch Weaver, a man who starts a revenge-for-hire business with his friend. The film became a cult favourite after its cinema run, largely because of Macdonald's deadpan humour and quotable one-liners. Online, short clips from the film have circulated for years among comedy fans, and this brief exchange is often reused on its own because the joke needs no setup. It survives as a shorthand for a deliberately insulting, comically small payment.

Norm Macdonald's deadpan line from Dirty Work, delivered as he hands over two dollars. It is used for cheap payoffs and underwhelming rewards in memes.
This is a short, dryly delivered movie line spoken in Norm Macdonald's famously flat, unbothered voice. The delivery is slow and matter-of-fact, with no excitement or emphasis, which makes the tiny amount of money feel even smaller. There is no music or background noise to distract from the words, just a deadpan payoff that lands because it sounds completely serious. Hearing it instantly frames whatever came before as cheap, stingy or not worth the effort, giving viewers a quick, knowing laugh at someone being paid almost nothing for their trouble.
