Minsc is a beloved companion from the Baldur's Gate role-playing games, first introduced in the original 1998 game and later returning in its sequels. His catchphrase, butt-kicking for goodness, sums up his cheerful, simple-hearted approach to heroism, fighting evil because it feels right rather than for glory. Fans have quoted the line for years in forums, videos and soundboards, and renewed interest in the series has kept it alive. It remains popular because it is short, instantly recognisable and funny without needing any context.
