The 'Funny? Funny How?' meme originates from Martin Scorsese's 1990 masterpiece, Goodfellas. In the scene, Tommy DeVito (played by Joe Pesci) confronts Henry Hill (played by Ray Liotta) after Henry calls him 'funny.' What follows is a masterclass in psychological tension as Tommy demands to know if he is 'funny like a clown' or meant to 'amuse' Henry. While the tension is eventually broken by laughter, the scene has become a staple of internet culture for highlighting awkward moments, mock-seriousness, or genuinely confusing situations. It is frequently used in meme formats to jokingly confront someone who has made a vague or potentially offensive observation.
