![]() The combination of this phrasing with "Baba O'Reilly," again, appears to come from internet memes rather than directly out of films. The internet meme appears to be a very rough parody of a general type of scene and not any one exact scene in movie history. However, my guess is that this precise phrasing does not quite exist in any film and that you've been unduly inspired by the meming of that phrase. It's pretty simple to look up direct quotes from films. If any single movie actually had that exact phrasing, you would probably have found it already. So is that your question, what film first used the exact phrase, "yup, that's me, you probably wonder how I got here?" So sure, you can trace it to a single novel in which it "first" appears (there is so much writing that will be lost to current historians that it is at least possible earlier writings used the phrase but have simply been lost to time). "Dark and stormy night" is a very specific phrase with a particular word order. Is it the precise phrase (set to that one song) that you mention in the post, or is it the more general idea of having a narrator talk to the audience directly? ![]() You have to identify exactly what you're looking for, though. there is probably not an example before that which uses Teenage Wasteland, but that doesn't really matter? it's not any deeper than that. Tl dr yes it literally is an amalgamation. The functional parts of the meme are: record scratch, freeze frame, and the declaration that the narrator is in fact the one present in what you're witnessing and that he intends to alleviate any curiosities that may befall you as to the circumstances that led to such a wacky and uncharacteristic scenario. The use of Teenage Wasteland is not a functional part of the idea, nor is the exact wording. It originates from whatever video was the first to use the audio clip you linked to, which was referencing other material loosely and happened to be the clip that caught on. Outside of that, and changes in the exact wording, it very much does exist in all the examples you just provided. The only reason it "doesn't exist" is because of the song, which was clearly just a random, mildly fitting choice by whoever put it in audio format. ![]()
