To give you the 101: the actor of the clown went on to play Chuck in Better Call Saul. Chuck at one point went on a rant about the misdoings of his little brother, Jimmy. Jimmy once had an incident with a certain car's sunroof.

The meme really is a lot better if you've heard the rant before (major spoilers for Better Call Saul): youtube or piped

I recently watched that episode and I don't think his voice has changed at all. I wasn't 100% sure though until I saw this meme!

It's one of those things from BB/BCS that is a very pivotal dramatic moment in the show but subsequently got memed to death, so the connotation in online use is generally different from how the scene was played. Same story of that short of Walter White falling over in Ozymandias.
