The phrase comes from online gaming culture around Rocket League, Psyonix's car soccer game released in 2015, where players often tease each other about game choice in chats and streams. As short voice lines became popular in meme edits and soundboards, the clip spread as a standalone reaction detached from any specific match. Its appeal is its simplicity: one recognizable title and one sarcastic setup are enough for viewers to get the joke instantly, even without seeing the gameplay that follows it on screen.
