The clip is associated with Shenmue, Sega's 1999 Dreamcast adventure game known for its everyday conversations and distinctive English voice acting. Short, expressive lines from games like this were later pulled into soundboards because they work without context, and this disappointed reaction survived as a compact response to someone spoiling a plan.
