The line comes from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, released in 2004, where protagonist Carl Johnson, known as CJ, says it near the start of the game after returning home to Los Santos. The quote became one of the game's most quoted moments and later spread widely as a meme on YouTube, TikTok and in gaming edits, used whenever a familiar problem returns. Its staying power comes from its versatility: it works for gaming fails, everyday setbacks and sequels to a bad situation, instantly framing what follows as a repeat performance.
