The '¿Juay De Rito?' meme originates from a viral 2011 interview between Mexican news anchor Joaquín López-Dóriga and legendary actor Anthony Hopkins regarding his film 'The Rite.' Due to the journalist's poor English pronunciation and technical difficulties, his attempt to ask 'Why The Rite?' phonetically sounded like 'Juay de rito,' leading to a visible moment of confusion for Hopkins. The clip instantly became a cultural phenomenon in Mexico and across the Spanish-speaking internet, symbolizing embarrassing language barriers and awkward professional blunders. It is widely used to mock someone's lack of English skills or to express general bewilderment in a conversation where nobody understands the question.
