The scene became a trending meme template on TikTok in mid-2023, following a version of the audio that progressively sped-up.

On February 7th, 2014, The Lego Movie released in American theaters.[1] In one scene of the film, the villain character President Business (voiced by Will Ferrell) kicked another character off a ledge. Afterwards, he looked into the camera and said, "What a bunch of hippy dippy baloney" (YouTube[2] upload shown below).



The first-known usage of the scene in a memetic context was a YouTube Poop posted by YouTuber[3] The Crimson King on December 8th, 2021, gaining roughly 2,700 views in two years (shown below).
