The clip comes from Rust, the multiplayer survival game by Facepunch Studios first released in early access in 2013. The spray can is a common in game tool for painting signs, bases and decorations, and its rapid repeated use became a recognizable joke among players. Clips of excessive spraying were shared on TikTok, YouTube and gaming soundboards, where the triple spray phrasing stuck as a shorthand for overdoing it. It remains popular because almost any painting or tagging scene becomes funnier with the exaggerated hiss.
