Why did the goblin turn on the stove?

A phrase to respond to an unanswerable question. It comes from a review by Possum Reviews on the homemade movie, "The Goblin." In one scene, the goblin kills a homeowner and turns on a propane stove. It is never brought up again and has no reason, so Possum repeats it multiple times in the video.
Friend: Why did your parents make you?
You: I don't know. Why did the goblin turn on the stove?
