Jacket first appeared as the silent protagonist of Hotline Miami, and later joined Payday 2, the cooperative heist shooter, as a playable character. His line asking what time it is became a recognisable soundboard clip because it contrasts sharply with his usual silence and fits the game's tense, masked-criminal atmosphere. Shared through gaming videos, edits and soundboards, it spread as a short dramatic cue rather than a long quote. Creators still use it today because it instantly sets up a heist, a confrontation or a timed reveal without needing extra explanation.

Jacket's 'Do you know what time it is?' voice line from Payday 2, used in gaming edits, memes and heist-themed videos for a dramatic reveal moment.
This short Payday 2 voice line features Jacket asking, 'Do you know what time it is?' in a calm, flat delivery that feels more threatening than loud. The brief pause before the question and the deadpan tone give it a cold, controlled menace, instantly signalling that something is about to happen. Because Jacket is famously silent in Hotline Miami, hearing him speak in Payday 2 makes the moment stand out even more. In edits, the line works as a warning, a countdown to action, or a cue that a plan is finally starting.
