The 2 Nickels meme originates from the 2011 animated film Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension. In a popular scene, the villain Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz remarks, 'If I had a nickel for every time I was doomed by a puppet, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.' The quote became a viral internet sensation used to highlight bizarre, specific, or unlikely coincidences that occur more than once. It is frequently adapted into various formats across social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit to point out strange patterns in pop culture and everyday life.
