The line comes from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, released in 2004, where protagonist Carl Johnson returns to Los Santos and is repeatedly pulled back into gang trouble. Voiced by Young Maylay, the weary remark opens many of CJ's misadventures and quickly became shorthand for being stuck in a loop. Clips spread through YouTube montages, gaming edits and later TikTok, where creators reuse it whenever a situation repeats itself. Its staying power comes from that universal feeling of déjà vu, instantly understood even by viewers who never played the game.

Carl Johnson's weary Ah shit, here we go again from GTA San Andreas, used in edits for repeated fails, replays and déjà vu moments in memes and videos.
This is Carl Johnson's resigned opening line from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, delivered in a low, tired sigh just before another mission spirals out of control. The voice is dry and world-weary rather than angry, stretching the first word before dropping into the familiar catchphrase with a sense of inevitable trouble ahead. Heard on its own, it instantly signals that something has gone wrong again, making viewers smile at the recognition while bracing for the chaos that follows. It works because it feels like a sigh everyone has had.
