I have heard this on both SpongeBob SquarePants (Patrick Star says it in the episode "Bunny Hunt") and The Fairly OddParents (Winston Dunnsworth says it in the episode "A Bad Case of Diary-uh")! !!

Did Nickelodeon just come up with this themselves or is it from a movie?

My brother thinks the quote either originated from Looney Tunes (Elmer Fudd) or the "Predator" series of movies but Google was absolutely NO help whatsoever!

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!! !

Can you provide a clip with the audio from Sponge Bob?

Sure, once the episode in question is on Paramount Plus live channels again I will record it with my phone and post to Google Drive (since WP doesn't allow direct posting of videos)!

You might be able to find it on YouTube before then, but that'll do too. :)
