I’m very sure that it pre-dates “The Boys” by several decades as I am positive I’ve heard it before, at least as early as the 2000s. I can recall an incidence of a much younger me thinking I was very clever repeating it (spoiler I wasnt nearly as clever as I thought I was).

My vague memory is it came from British or Australian comedians (Derek & Clive, Kevin bloody Wilson sprang to mind)

I can’t however find any attribution for it in a search other than the Billy Butcher quote. So I’m afraid that is an unreliable anecdote.
