Come Get Some comes from Duke Nukem 3D, the 1996 first person shooter from 3D Realms starring the wisecracking action hero Duke Nukem, voiced by Jon St. John. The phrase was also one of the game's difficulty level names, which helped cement it as one of Duke's most quoted catchphrases alongside his movie inspired one liners. As clips from retro shooters spread through forums, YouTube and soundboards, this taunt survived long after the original game, becoming shorthand for challenging an opponent who is about to lose.
