Originated in the game Minecraft, a rarely spawning mob that consists of a chicken, and a baby zombie riding on it.
Gained some infamy when A Minecraft Movie's trailers were initially being revealed. Jack Black yelled "Chicken Jockey" after one appeared on screen, and people made fun of it. Other things in the trailers were made of, but this one eventually snowballed to being the most popular one.
Eventually turned into a sort of brainrot, with people forgetting the original context of making fun of the movie, and simply sharing it because it was the funny thing to share.
By the time the movie came out, several people, (still a large minority, though) did very extreme things in the theater when the Chicken Jockey scene came on, as an act of "irony". This included but was not limited to, standing and cheering, and throwing popcorn and soda, and simply saying "Chicken Jockey" in unison. The most extreme example was someone who had brought a live chicken into a theater.
Was eventually used in further advertising for the Minecraft Movie as it came to streaming services, even referencing the incident of bringing a live chicken into the theater.

Alternative to the common name for the male Indian peafowl or peacock (Pavo cristatus). Takes into account the peacocksâ impressive array of smart, iridescent plumage donned during the breeding season, which echoes the both the dress code and psychedelic strobe-induced trances experienced by revellers in 1980âs nightclubs.
When meeting up in town and admiring a friendâs bold choice of Saturday night threads⊠âwhoah, love the suit bro; youâve gone full-on disco chickenâ.
