Where does the “Boom Boom Firepower” meme come from?

The formula comes from the movie Night at the Museum 2, released in 2009. It is spoken by The Thinker, a statue played by Hank Azaria, when he wakes up and tries to impress a female statue. The famous version first appears in the trailer: The Thinker responds to Amy Adams, then points to his muscles saying “Boom! Boom! Firepower!”. In the final film, the line is modified and extended: “Check out the gun show going on over here! Boom! BANG! Firepower!”. Online documented diffusion begins on YouTube. The most popular video of this clip was uploaded by Justin Pangilinan on April 25, 2009, and later surpassed 578,000 views. A Know Your Meme video entry indicates another publication dated May 13, 2023, without establishing it as the origin.
