What’s up with the Buzz Lightyear obsession?

I’ll explain for those who haven’t experienced on-campus classes. Basically, people here like to make side comments about wanting Buzz Lightyear to sit on their face. Like they’ll come out of a test and be like “man I could really use Buzz Lightyear’s ass on my face right now.” Or at a party people will make small talk about wanting Buzz to sit on their face. It’s just something people say around here, very nonchalant. At first I thought it was one of my friends’ inside jokes, but it’s something that everyone seems to go along with. I haven’t heard any professors mention it tbf, but a TA joked about wanting to go to infinity and beyond on Buzz’s ass, and everyone just lost it, including me since it came out of nowhere. I’m not sure if it’s a UNC thing (like streaking, Gary, and the Old Well good luck charm), or if it’s a quirk with NC in general (I’m from up north). I googled it and literally nothing came up.


Can someone pleeeeeeease explain to me what this is all about? I’ve been here a few years and still don’t get it.
