The 'If I Had a Nickel' meme originated from the 2011 animated film Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension. In the scene, 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.' This quote became a viral internet sensation used to describe situations where a strangely specific or unlikely event happens more than once. It is widely used to point out bizarre coincidences across pop culture, gaming, and real-life scenarios.
