I’ve always seen a more anime/manga influence on that particular one. It’s almost exactly like a common expression used to denote mischievousness, which is pretty much the same as “ooh, I’m evil.” ([Bad example](http://www.basugasubakuhatsu.com/blog/2006/07/14/anime-character-expressions-the-roundup/), but for the life of me I can’t find better.)
