The 'That's a Lot of Nuts' meme originates from the 2002 cult classic comedy Kung Pow! Enter the Fist, a film directed by and starring Steve Oedekerk. In this specific scene, the character Master Tang (played by Lung Fei but voiced with high-pitched absurdity by Oedekerk) approaches a vendor and screams the iconic line, 'That's a lot of nuts!' while gesturing frantically. The scene is a parody of poorly dubbed martial arts films, emphasizing the non-sequitur nature of the dialogue and the exaggerated facial expressions of the characters. In internet culture, this clip serves as the ultimate reaction for situations involving excess, high quantities, or overwhelming numbers. Whether it's a massive pile of homework, an expensive bill, or a literal collection of snacks, Master Tang’s shocked delivery perfectly captures the feeling of being stunned by volume. It is frequently used in gaming communities to react to loot drops or in finance memes regarding inflation. Example captions include: 'When the waiter asks how much parmesan I want on my pasta,' and 'Me looking at my Steam library during a summer sale.'
