Do I make you horny, baby? Do I? Do I make you randy?
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Austin is a man in 1960s clothes who believes sex appeal is something you can ask someone to confirm, and the sing-song repeat of the question is what fans remember. It works as a catchphrase because the swagger is entirely unearned and nobody in the film minds. People quote it as a joke about terrible chat-up lines, as often aimed at a mirror as at another person.

Spoilers for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged MeShow the scene
In The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), Austin sits down at a table with Ivana Humpalot, a Russian agent sent by Dr. Evil, who has not yet told him so. They have talked about how to keep warm in Russia, and the answer is chess. Austin asks her to be honest: does he make her horny, does he make her randy? Ivana gives up the act, says Dr. Evil sent her to kill him but she finds him too sexy, and says to take her now. He rips his shirt open. In the first film, Austin used the same pitch on Vanessa, with a rotating bed.
