Where does the “I Cannot Believe It!” meme come from?

Rolando appeared on “Mai dire Gol”, the satirical show produced by Gialappa’s Band, where Aldo Baglio’s character kept mixing up the celebrities he met with other famous people. On 9 December 1996, Gialappa’s Band aired a fake “Studio Sport” report where a deliberate graphic error replaced the name of footballer Ronaldo, then a Barcelona striker, with “Rolando”. The character became convinced he was the best footballer in the world, and his catchphrase kept circulating well after the show ended.
