The Pauly Shore Pinocchio meme originated from the English dub trailer for the 2021 Russian animated film 'Pinocchio: A True Story.' In early 2022, social media users on TikTok and Twitter became obsessed with the bizarre, nasal, and unexpectedly flamboyant voice acting provided by 90s comedy icon Pauly Shore. The specific line, 'Father, when can I leave to be on my own? I've got the whole world to see!', became a viral sensation for its campy delivery. The meme is widely used to express dramatic flair, 'yassified' confidence, or an ironic desire for independence, often highlighting the disconnect between the character's wooden appearance and Shore's unique vocal performance.
