Released in 2002, 'Kung Pow: Enter the Fist' is a cult classic martial arts parody written, directed by, and starring Steve Oedekerk as The Chosen One. In this iconic scene, Oedekerk’s character encounters a moment of feigned sentimentality, uttering the high-pitched, dubbed-over lines 'So cute... bye bye!' with a ridiculous expression. This clip highlights the film's unique style of digitally inserting Oedekerk into 1970s Hong Kong cinema footage, specifically the film 'Tigers Claw Shall Awake.' The meme is a staple for situations involving sudden departures, ironic dismissiveness, or the quick end of a 'honeymoon phase' with an object or person. It perfectly captures the hilarious transition from finding something endearing to immediately discarding it without a second thought. Example captions include: 'When you see a cool gadget but then look at the price tag,' 'Me saying goodbye to my paycheck on Friday night,' and 'When you meet a cute dog but it starts barking at your soul.'
