Origin

This phrase was used in the 1991 movie, Suburban Commando starring Hulk Hogan as an intergalactic warrior named Shep Ramsey. During a scene, Shep gets into an argument with Charlie Wilcox played by Christopher Lloyd and Charlie says "I was frozen today!" as a reference to when he was frozen in an earlier scene and the argument is ended.

Spread

This phrase became popular after the Nostalgia Critic had one of his episodes on Suburban Commando. He informed viewers, jokingly, to use this phrase during any argument to instantly end it by confusing the other person.

Though some people believe that because he said to the public that you should go ahead and use it, the meme was killed a birth. But in actuality, the Nostalgia Critic didn't say that the public should just go ahead and use it, but that it just could be used IRL without saying to just "go ahead and use it".
