The word sleduyushchiy is a common everyday term in Russian, used in stations, classrooms, shops and videos to call the next person or item. Short spoken clips like this spread on soundboards because they work as universal editing punctuation, even for audiences who do not know the language. Its popularity comes from that instant recognition through context and delivery rather than from a single film or show. Creators keep reusing it for list videos, compilations and queue jokes where the humour depends on moving on quickly without any explanation or pause.
